Verse 1

In politics' grand chess game, where kings often dawdle,
A former leader's sway once held sway, but now it's fumbled.
The Democratic camp sought a maestro, Barack's old charm,
Yet his star has waned, faded like smoke in the storm.

His influence, once so grand and mighty to behold,
Now merely echoes of whispers that were seldom told.
With poll numbers sinking lower than the deepest sea,
Obama’s voice in politics, you'll scarcely see.

The party desperate for a new gladiator's call,
Yet finds no savior; his guidance they dismiss all.
From lofty heights, he tumbles down the mountain so steep,
His former role as puppeteer now but a memory deep.

For Biden, once his protégé, now stands alone,
A leader in his own right, though it may be unknown.
And Harris, too, bold and strong with an ambition vast,
Stands ready to challenge on this political mast.

Yet the former president remained silent all along,
As allies turned foes, in books they'd sing this tune:
"A mini-primary, a test of might and main,
To kneecap Harris was his secret plan."

But power ebbs away like sand slipping through fingers' grip,
The once-mighty leader now fades into thin twilight.
In politics' grand waltz, he finds himself apart,
A relic of an era lost without a single heart.

It used to be said that President Joe Biden was serving former President Obama’s third term, that his former boss was controlling him from the home he had bought in DC’s ritzy Kalorama neighborhood, two miles from the White House. The feeling was that Obama was the real leader of the Democratic Party and his wife, Michelle, was the secret weapon they would whip out in 2024 to replace Biden and trounce Donald Trump. If former President Barack Obama really was the puppeteer pulling Joe Biden’s strings, he has a lot to answer for, writes columnist Miranda Devine. Fight For Progress/YouTube Well, none of it came to pass, and judging by his irrelevant poll numbers, Obama’s star has long faded. In a CNN poll last month, Obama received only 4% support from Democrats who were asked which leader best represents the party, lagging behind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders. Ouch.

But in reality, the former prez was so aloof from politics that he didn’t even bother watching Biden’s disastrous debate performance last summer that killed his re-election bid. Bid to ‘kneecap Harris’ According to a new book, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, Obama “was alerted to the catastrophe by his phone … Obama kept his thoughts to himself that night, but his proxies didn’t afford Biden the same courtesy.” As his former advisers like David Axelrod and the “Pod Save America” bros waged a campaign against Biden, Obama stayed silent. But behind the scenes, the book suggests he was urging the party to dump Biden and run a mini-primary to choose his replacement, and he didn’t want Harris. “The mini-primary was Obama’s way of trying to kneecap Harris,” the book claims.

In the dim light of fading glory's aftermath,
An aged photograph on a dusty shelf lays close. 
Around it, shadows of grandeur, in sepia tones embrace,
Echoes of a once-commanding presence now lose their pace.

Video Prompt 1

A scene unfolds: within a dimly lit, opulent room,
Where shadows dance and memories hover like a gloom.
Barack Obama, seated proudly, with an air so assured,
In his hands, the remnants of influence he’s no longer sure.

Verse 2

In a tale of power and political strife,
A story unfolds where hopes do strive.
Biden and Obama, once close allies,
Faced in conflict when ambitions collide.

Obama called, with words sharp as steel,
"Show me your path," he did insist,
And Biden, enraged by the task at hand,
Thought to himself: "What's my fate? What’s his plan?"

The authors reveal a tale of intrigue,
Of plots and schemes within political range.
Pelosi stepped in, though her heart was troubled,
Fearing Harris' rise, in this strange battle.

Clooney entered, with words that did cut deep,
Urging Biden to withdraw from the race he'd keep.
Yet Biden held fast, leaving his fate uncertain,
And Obama's control, ambiguous and shaken.

In a twist of fate, Clyburn outplayed them all,
His support for Harris changed political ball,
Leaving Obama on the sidelines, defeated,
His influence waning in this bitter feud.

Clooney raged at the linking to "The One,"
Yet his actions spoke volumes of what he'd done.
And Obama, now seeking relevance anew,
Urged sacrifice, yet sacrificed nothing true.

This is a tale where friendships are tested,
Where loyalty and power wage their battle,
A story of ambition, greed, and betrayal,
In the heart of politics, a world so complex.

At one point, when Biden looked like he was clinging to his candidacy, Obama called him and demanded to know, “What is your path?” According to the authors, Biden angrily thought to himself as he listened: “What’s my path? What’s your f–king plan?” See Also Barack Obama ‘destroyed’ the Democratic Party by competing for ‘power and money’ with his own organization: new book No Drama Obama, who likes to stay above the fray, ultimately outsourced the “wet work” to movie star George Clooney and party godmother Nancy Pelosi, who didn’t like her fellow San Franciscan Harris, either. “Pelosi’s biggest initial fear had been about Harris,” the authors write. “She actually was worried when people were panicking the night of the debate, saying, ‘Oh my God, it’s going to be her.’ ” After a pep talk from Obama on the phone, Pelosi appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and damned Biden with faint praise, pretending the party was waiting for him to make up his mind about dropping out when he had already unequivocally vowed to stay on. She resurrected the insurrection Biden thought he had put down. Then came the death blow from Obama’s good buddy Clooney, who published an op-ed in the New York Times urging Biden to abandon his bid for re-election and allow the party to hold a mini-primary. “Clooney’s words so closely reflected Obama’s thinking that the op-ed might as well have carried the former president’s byline. Obama didn’t want to get his own hands dirty — couldn’t face leaving bloody fingerprints on Biden’s political corpse — but he hoped others would shoulder the wet work,” the authors write. Obama might have won the battle to oust Biden but he was sorely mistaken if he thought he could control the party he once led when it came to choosing his replacement for the 2024 presidential race. “He left the Democratic Party far weaker than he found it,” one party operative told the authors. “Obama destroyed that s–t.” Obama outplayed In the end, Obama was punked by the demented old man for whom he had such contempt. Biden issued his resignation letter from the race on July 21, 2024, without mentioning Harris. But he followed up minutes later with a message on social media endorsing his VP as the Democratic nominee. Party kingmaker Jim Clyburn, who had harnessed the black vote in South Carolina to clinch the nomination for Biden in 2020, also outsmarted Obama by quickly endorsing Harris before he was due to take a call from the ex-prez urging him to back a mini-primary. To add to the indignities, Clooney was reportedly furious when “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski suggested that Obama had put him up to writing the Times op-ed and maybe even ghost-wrote it.

Check out more newsletters People’s two-time “Sexiest Man Alive” yelled obscenities at an MSNBC producer, according to another new book about the Biden campaign, “Uncharted.” “How the f–k could you let her link me with Barack Obama, saying he made me write the op-ed?” Clooney shouted. There was a time when Clooney might have been proud to have been linked to “The One.” Now he wants to distance himself, yet another sign of Obama’s waning influence. Obama is trying to win back relevance by giving speeches urging anti-Trumpers to “sacrifice a little bit” in their opposition to the president. What exactly does he mean? Commit hara kiri, break the law, go to jail, blow up their business? He suggested that “law firms being threatened … might have to say, okay, we will lose some business.” But whatever he meant, in his long-winded way, it didn’t sound good, coming from an entitled rich guy with three or maybe four luxury houses and who has never sacrificed anything.

Verse 3

In a time where Democrats seek the aid,
To Obama they should not pay heed.
For his actions gave them Trump's grim shade,
Twice did he cause their path to be trodden.

Under Barack and Joe, with Michelle by their side,
The left did trust him, but was greatly denied.
Yet, we can see how his efforts intertwined,
In a way that made him seem quite confined.

Now the text reveals an issue deep-rooted,
In ActBlue's scandal it's clear there's no shrouded truth sought.
Kash Patel and MAGA both send strong messages apart,
Yet for Democrats to align with such tactics is to play with hearts.

From Confederacy intentions they veer away,
To a time when hatred had its day.
But now, as April unfolds its bright wings,
New beginnings arrive in fresh springs.

The text shows us stories of sorrow and pain,
Six lives lost, cut down by fate's cruel train.
A helicopter splits in two,
Leaving grief on the Hudson's blue.

Yet there is humor too, as DOGE discovers a crime,
Fake unemployment claims being prime.
Read it again to let the absurdity sink in,
Wasted millions gone, a tale of taxpayers' sin.

And finally, with golf and sports we play,
Masters begin in jest and fray.
Kanye West seeks redemption, but stumbles along his quest,
For apologies given in vulgar quest.

If Democrats are looking for people to help them out of the doldrums, the last person they should listen to is Obama. He helped give them Trump — not once, but twice.

### Sonnet for Primary Image

Upon the stage, in shades of night so deep, A man with wisdom speaks his heartfelt song. His voice, as clear and pure as morning dew, Inquires into matters grave and light.

With hands that speak of stories old and new, He gestures gently to engage his hearers; His gaze a window wide upon their soul, As though he'd known them all since birth's first breaths.

The suit he wears, in shades both dark and bright, A testament to years lived well; yet still In heart so young with dreams that ever rise anew. Yet gentle too is this gray-haired sage:

For within him lies a youthful spirit free.
