Is Joe Biden the president? Is someone else running the show behind the scenes? Was Biden a figurehead to defeat former President Donald Trump only to hand power back to a cadre of left-wing political operatives?
It sounds ridiculous to say, but many people believe such things. Admittedly, whenever Biden trips, falls, stumbles, or has one of his many blunders, such conspiracy theories look more legitimate. Perhaps that is why a new poll found that most voters believe former President Obama oversees the White House, not Biden.
A recent survey from Rasmussen Reports revealed that 63% of likely voters think “Obama is influencing the policies of the Biden administration,” including 40% who feel this puppet arrangement is “very likely.” Conversely, 29% of voters don’t believe such a thing, Rasmussen reported. This represents a stunning rebuke of Biden’s autonomy and an embarrassing indictment of his perceived weakness.
Many would argue the Biden administration has been a complete disaster and considerably worse than the Obama presidency. However, Biden has adhered to many of the guiding principles set forth by the Obama administration. This is not altogether surprising since he was Obama’s vice president. Nevertheless, it’s probably a stretch and unrealistic to think Obama controls the presidency behind the scenes. Then again, a comment from Obama several years ago might have added fuel to that conspiracy fire.
During an interview with left-wing CBS talk show host Stephen Colbert in November 2020, Obama discussed how he could get a third term. It was meant to be humorous; however, some could argue that Obama’s words eerily describe the current situation at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
“I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or frontman or frontwoman, and they had an earpiece in, and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating,” Obama said jokingly (or did he?).
Even when people think former President Donald J. Trump sounds crazy, the forty-fifth president highlights a sad truth. In a campaign rally, the former president accused his likely Democratic Party opponent, President Joe Biden, of being little more than a political sock puppet for Trump’s predecessor (and Biden’s old boss), the forty-fourth president, Barack Obama.
Enter the mainstream media to do what it does best: cover for the Democrats—specifically Obama—by categorically denying whatever claims Trump is making about the Democrats and Obama. And that, dear readers, is the tell that there’s something greater afoot and Trump is likely very much over the target.
Barack Obama is the Shadow President
You see, Obama has been the shadow president since he left office. It was Obama who orchestrated the Russia collusion investigation into Trump that dogged the forty-fifth president’s first two years in office.
Obama appointees led the crusade against Trump from within the Byzantine bureaucracy that is Washington, D.C. Barack Obama maintained a residence in the posh neighborhood of Kalorama in northwest D.C., where the sycophantic press nicknamed it the “headquarters of the Resistance” (the orchestrated movement by the American Left to undermine and destroy the Trump presidency from within).
