Black pastors and the money changers

In 2006 Senator Barack Obama met with former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle.  Obama was contemplating a presidential run.  And what Daschle saw in Obama was a chance for the Democratic Party to start anew and avoid a third Clinton presidency.
Daschle knew after eight years of the Bush administration the American voters were not going to elect another Republican.
The next president was going to be decided in the Democratic primary.  Daschle encouraged Obama to run, and he had a simple suggestion for his former colleagues. It was ABC, anybody but Clinton.
But during Obama’s presidency the Democrats lost over 900 state legislative seats, 12 gubernatorial elections, 69 house seats, and 13 Senate seats which encouraged 17 Republicans to run for president in 2016.
