HE'S BAACK...BUT HE NEVER LEFT – AT 10:46 A.M. ET:   Obama meant it when he said he'd stay involved.  This is tasteless for a former president.  He was not elected king.  From the New York Post: 

An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.

Organizing for Action, a group founded by Obama and featured prominently on his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to anti-Trump activists that advises them to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off support for repealing ObamaCare, curbing immigration from high-risk Islamic nations, and building a border wall.

In a new Facebook post, OFA calls on activists to mobilize against Republicans from now until Feb. 26, when “representatives are going to be in their home districts.”

The protesters disrupted town halls earlier this month, including one held in Utah by House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz, who was confronted by hundreds of angry demonstrators claiming to be his constituents.

The manual, published with OFA partner “Indivisible,” advises protesters to go into halls quietly so as not to raise alarms, and “grab seats at the front of the room but do not all sit together.” Rather, spread out in pairs to make it seem like the whole room opposes the Republican host’s positions. “This will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus.” It also urges them to ask “hostile” questions — while keeping “a firm hold on the mic” — and loudly boo the the GOP politician if he isn’t “giving you real answers.”

“Express your concern [to the event’s hosts] they are giving a platform to pro-Trump authoritarianism, racism, and corruption,” it says.

COMMENT:  The tactics of the well-bred hard-left community organizer, and they may well work.  Republicans, whose party is often anemic enough, are easily frightened. 

Republicans are being advised by some law-enforcement agencies to arrange for extra security at their town meetings.  Good idea, although they'll then be accused of strong-arm tactics.  The sad fact here is that there's little attempt by the mainstream media to expose the techniques being used, tactics of fear.  It is a wilful failure by the press.  Very wilful.
