2008 was a HUGE change.
Obama unapologetically and without much fan fare (”no Drama Obama”) ripped the mask off the otherwise chameleon Left to show what the Totalitarian Left and their agenda and intentions really are.
Getting away with that, Obama led the way for otherwise unseen coalition and unified aggression by the Delusional Lying Left. He continues to this day from behind that green curtain over there that you’re not supposed to notice, by directing Biden and the Left.
“Lead from behind” - isn’t that one of his favorite sayings?
IOW, if you’re a horse’s ass, you qualify to lead the Confused and Delusional Lying Left.
You can’t make this stuff up.
It helped immensely that the GOP nominee in both 2008 and 2012 served as the campaign managers for Zero, their alleged “opponent.”
Imagine if we had had ex-OK Gov. Frank Keating as the nominee in 2008, the very FBI agent who pursued Zero’s domestic terrorist mentors, the Ayers’s.
