Shadow Government

The Left's Shadow Government

(Obama to Remain In Washington After He Leaves Office)


The political left is vehemently refusing to accept the results of the November 8th elections. Like spoiled children who do not get their way, the left is throwing a collective temper tantrum. Their behavior is so bad that even liberal Juan Williams conceded yesterday, "There's no question Democrats run the risk of looking like hypocrites."

I hope you appreciate, my friends, that the battle did not end on November 8th. Nor will it end after today's final votes are cast by members of the Electoral College. The left is not giving up. It is not going away quietly.

The real transition of power taking place in Washington right now is not between the Obama Administration and the Trump/Pence team, but from the Obama White House to a left-wing shadow government.
 
. . . There is a great American tradition of ex-presidents quietly exiting the scene and allowing their successors to step into the spotlight. Barack Obama may be vacating the White House, but he is NOT leaving Washington, D.C.

The president and first lady are renting a nine-bedroom, 8,200 square-foot home in one of Washington's most exclusive neighborhoods. Mr. Obama will be the first president in nearly 100 years to remain in Washington after the conclusion of his presidency.

Author Ed Klein, who is an expert on D.C.'s machinations, said Obama was mounting an "insurgency" or "a shadow government opposing the Trump Administration."

Presidential historian Stephen Hess said it was "a terrible idea" for Obama to stay in Washington. Hess noted that Obama will be "connected to every problem that [Trump] is going to be confronting" and reporters will be "camping out on [his] doorstep."

In other words, we should expect to hear from this soon-to-be ex-president a lot. Any time Trump tries to undo Obama's legacy, be it Obamacare or institutional global warming malarkey, Mr. Obama will be on hand to rally the opposition.
