“Obama’s hostility to American exceptionalism also seemed linked to his hostility to Israel, or more specifically to America’s identification with Israel, which finally resulted in his determination during his second term to reach his agreement with Iran—an agreement with the main objective of integrating that country into America’s security architecture in the Middle East, while limiting Israel’s power in the region. Again, why? The sheer amount of political capital and focus Obama put into achieving the JCPOA during his second term, to the near-exclusion of other goals, suggests that the deal was central to his politics. It also carries more than a whiff of the kind of politics in which the American Empire is seen not just as unexceptional, but also, in some ways, as actively evil.”
That was Tablet editor David Samuels, in “The Obama Factor,” a landmark August 2, 2023 interview with David Garrow, author of Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama. On October 7, 2023, Hamas committed the worse massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. In light of those events, and Iran’s recent attack on Israel, consider some of Samuels own statements from the interview.
“The election of Joe Biden in 2020 gave the Obamas even more reasons to stay in town,” contended Samuels. “When Obama turned up at the White House, staffers and the press crowded around him, leaving President Biden talking to the drapes—which is not a metaphor but a real thing that happened.” These appearances were not mere social calls.

If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt Obama is running things, then I am all for a law barring former presidents from anything to do with any follow-on administration(s). No meetings with current office holders, no advice, no nothing. They've had their time in the sun, now go away. It's very apparent Obama loves the enemies of this country, especially in the Middle East and his 'leadership' will have repercussions for years to come.
