The liberal media is sounding the alarm—and they’re looking to Barack Obama to save them from Donald Trump.
In a moment that revealed just how panicked the Left has become, MSNBC’s The Weekend featured Democratic strategist Shaniqua McClendon practically begging Obama to step back into the political ring. Her reason? To push back every time President Trump speaks.
MSNBC Panelist: “We Need Obama to Counter Trump”
McClendon, a top figure at far-left Crooked Media, openly admitted that Democrats are struggling to compete with Trump’s influence. Despite Obama telling his party to “toughen up” during a recent fundraiser, that wasn’t enough for today’s fragile Democratic base.
“If Donald Trump says something ‘crazy,’ Barack Obama should hold a press conference,” McClendon suggested on air.
Yes, you read that right: the Left wants Obama to shadow Trump’s every move—a telling sign of just how weak their current bench is.
Obama Tells Democrats to Stop Whining—Liberals Push Back
During a July fundraiser, Obama tried to fire up Democrats by calling out their growing frustration.
“Less navel-gazing, less whining, and less fetal positions,” Obama reportedly said, according to CNN. “Now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something.”
But instead of inspiring action, his remarks triggered criticism—from his own side.
Even Liberal Hosts Push Back on Obama’s “Tough Love”
MSNBC’s Catherine Rampell raised concerns that Obama might “suck up all the oxygen” if he speaks out too often. McClendon dismissed the worry, claiming most Democrats can’t break through the media noise like Obama can.
She pointed to far-left radicals like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) as rare exceptions—but admitted that the party overall lacks strong, visible leaders.
McClendon then leaned into a familiar narrative, claiming “our rights are being taken away every day”—a standard talking point used to stir up panic on the Left.
‘The View’ Turns on Obama Too
Even the cast of ABC’s The View didn’t back Obama’s comments. The liberal daytime show’s hosts argued that Democrats have been fighting Trump—and criticized Obama for suggesting otherwise.
What This Really Shows: Democrats Are in Deep Trouble
This media meltdown reveals a deeper truth: Democrats are deeply divided, low on leadership, and afraid of Donald Trump’s rising popularity.
Instead of rallying behind a fresh message or strong candidate, they’re begging Barack Obama to come back and do the heavy lifting—all while Trump continues to dominate headlines, rallies, and polling numbers.
Final Word: The Left’s Fear of Trump Is Driving Desperation
From MSNBC to The View, it’s clear the liberal media is in full-blown panic mode as 2024 approaches. The cries for Obama’s return aren’t about unity—they’re about survival.
And as President Trump continues to gain momentum with everyday Americans, the Democrats’ dependence on a past president is more than just embarrassing—it’s a sign of a party in disarray.
