The Left’s Missing Leader: Is It Time for Obama to Return?

This week marks the 10th anniversary of Donald Trump’s infamous escalator ride that began his run for the presidency and command of the headlines over the past ten years. Michael asks you this provocative question: Does Barack Obama have any obligation to be more visible in his opposition to Donald Trump? As political violence escalates and leadership on the left feels absent, is Obama’s silence a problem—or is it the former President’s right? Hear Michael’s take, and more reflections on recent violence against lawmakers. A must-listen for anyone following the 2025 (and even 2028) political drama. 👉 Vote on today’s poll: “Does Barack Obama have any obligation to be more visible in his opposition to Donald Trump?” at Smerconish.com after listening, and please rate and review this podcast.
