“It’s Over” indeed.

Julian Epstein is a Democratic Party strategist who helped President Clinton navigate through sticky political issues. Epstein faults Obama for “a set of ideas and tactics” causing the Democrats’ 2024 loss, including “Demography is Destiny” — “a kind of manifest destiny of the left, adopted in the second Obama term, that promises an ever-diversifying electorate would inexorably vote Democratic [influenced by] cartoonish appeals to identity and big government wardship.”  Epstein also hit Obama’s emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), on the era’s hormone therapies and surgeries on youth, and the failure of Obama’s leaning toward Iran and away from Israel in the Middle East. We welcome Epstein’s January 4 burial of the “Obama Era.” Readers will recall our “It’s Over” blog entry on November 12, 2024 , documenting Obama’s political passing.

It’s Over.

  since the rise of Barack Obama, Democrats have seen themselves as destined to rule. With his presidential victory in 2008, they created a seemingly unbridgeable political empire. With the support of big cities, young progressives, universities, the media and an ever-expanding government workforce, the party [] imagined it could stay in power indefinitely. — Joel Kotkin, spiked the time has now arrived for Barack Obama to leave Washington and exit American politics, now that his Shadow Presidency — which proved to be even more counter-productive and chaotic than Trump’s first term in office — has gone down in flames. — David Samuels, UnHerd   The worst thing about Obama America: the absence of excellence. Democrats care about government. So it’s unsurprising they used to be about governing well, bringing out the best in leadership. FDR New Deal and World War II victory; Truman Marshall Plan, NATO, UN defending Korea; JFK to the Moon, Cuban Missile Crisis, Tax Reform, Nucle...
