Obama linked journalist
Jonathan Alter reports:
It’s one of this autumn’s pleasant surprises. Two years after Donald Trump’s election as president and 10 years after his own, Barack Obama is gracefully re-entering our consciousness, reminding us of what we have lost and may yet recover.
The contrast between Obama and Trump—decent vs. despicable; incisive vs. ignorant; honest vs. humbug; classy vs. clownish—is now the critical subtext of the 2018 campaign. With Obama’s current approval ratings more than 20 points higher than Trump’s, the aching memory of his presidency will help energize Democrats in the midterms.
But Obama’s return is also a reminder that some of his admirable qualities—modesty, prudence, deliberateness—have inadvertently helped Republicans endanger everything he built.
If Obama’s reputation is secure, his legacy is not. Many of his accomplishments in office are in danger of being wiped out in November. The personal stakes for him and his place in history are high.
Jonathan Alter really has close ties Obama and the Democrats, check out the map down below. Jonathan's mom was slated for political office by the first Mayor Daley. Jonathan's parents were "early" fundraisers for Obama. Jonathan Alter really is a Democrat party operative, with a byline, because he's a creation of the Democrat party. Speaking of Obama's legacy , just the other day, Obama came out of the closet as endorsing a card caring
socialist hurting the Alter image of Obama being a
centrist.
