Inside Obama’s secret meetings with 2020 contenders

All the meetings were arranged quietly, without even some close advisers to the people involved being told of the conversations, in part because of how much Obama bristles at his private meetings becoming public knowledge. All have been confirmed to POLITICO by multiple people who have been briefed on the secretive sit-downs.

The meetings have been at Obama’s personal office on the third floor of the World Wildlife Fund building in D.C.’s West End neighborhood, and they show how a stream of ambitious, searching politicians are looking for guidance and support from the man who has remained the reluctant leader of the Democratic Party, eager to be involved, though not directly. He's not making any promises of support, though, and is not expected to endorse in the 2020 race until after a nominee has emerged.

Obama so far has avoided direct conflict with President Donald Trump — save for a few public statements criticizing his moves attempting to dismantle the Iran nuclear deal, Obamacare and the protection program for Dreamers, though without naming Trump.

But Obama is concerned about how his own party is responding, and how it can be best positioned to win in the midterms and in the next presidential cycle to beat back the president and his politics.

Each week brings a new news report of severe TDS. This week it was raging bull DeNiro. Last week it was Sam Bee's turn to spew hate. A few weeks ago some unknown comic had her turn in the spotlight at the correspondents' dinner.

Barry will have to work overtime if he's going to undo the resentment caused by these myopic ingrates. I think each rant validates why people voted for an outsider.

I like this headline about that secret meeting. "Man Who Destroyed The Democratic Party Gives Advice To Democratic Presidential Hopefuls"

Working behind the scenes to continue his destruction of America.
The names of people being interviewed by Obama should be made public.

They are the enemies of our country.
