New book claims Obama was a 'parasite' who sucked the Democratic Party dry to get reelected
Fox News
A “parasite” on the Democratic Party is how journalist Edward-Isaac Dovere describes former President Obama in his forthcoming tell-all book “Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaign to Defeat Trump."
"The numbers are hard to ignore: during his eight years in office, Obama oversaw a net loss of 947 state legislative seats, 63 House seats, 11 senators, and 13 governors," he continues. In 2008, Democrats increased their majorities in the House and Senate, delivering Obama the legislature for his first two years in office. In 2010, Republicans took the majority in the House with the Tea Party wave and Democrats maintained but shrunk their majority in the Senate. In 2014, Republicans gained control of both the House and Senate. Dovere writes that the 44th president carried himself with a "self-assured self-regard."More Related News
