Politico reported that Barack Obama is in touch with his Washington supporters who are planning to revolt against Donald Trump from inside the government.
President Barack Obama told his most loyal operatives that they have 10 days to get over their grief.
They’re already ahead of schedule.
In the past week, Obama alumni have planned gatherings at Glascott’s Saloon in Chicago (an old campaign haunt) and The Winslow in New York. In Washington, they’re meeting in hotel lobbies, 14th Street bars, nonprofits’ conference rooms and living rooms, plotting the resistance over beer and hummus.
One attendee called the meetings “Obama Anonymous,” and while they largely started as impromptu commiseration, they’ve shifted to mobilization. It’s an early sign that Obama can continue to command a formidable movement and potentially launch a serious defense of his legacy as a private citizen.
“The tipping point was when we started talking about how we could kick his ass, and that we could,” Jaff said. “You realize everybody wants to fight and you suddenly get hundreds of messages coming in from volunteers who you’ve worked with before.”
It wasn’t supposed to be this way. There’d be a wave election to sweep awayTrump’s divisive rhetoric and Republican obstruction all at once. The people who have spent the last decade sweating it out for Obama – in many cases most of their adult lives – could finally lead normal lives, his legacy safely in the hands of the first woman president.
The talks are all early, but a few broad themes have emerged. One is protecting the people most targeted by Trump’s policies and rhetoric. How to block a deportation force, for example? Could Vice President Joe Biden leads an anti-domestic violence campaign? Then there are the Obama policies that are most at-risk: the health law, his climate regulation. Finally, with Democratic ranks decimated not only at the federal level, but in statehouses as well, there’s a significant new emphasis on supporting alumni who are considering running for office.
Over the past 10 years, Obama alumni have spread throughout the government, the advocacy world, and influential parts of the private sector, including at Google and Facebook. That means there’s a lot diverse talent to harness.
It’s not clear where the focus will ultimately settle, and Labolt predicted that no one single group will emerge from the effort. The consensus seems to be building around filling in the gaps in existing Democratic infrastructure, rather than creating a whole new universe.
Obama’s network, its members say, holds so much potential because they still feel bound by his stirring message of hope and change.
The people who worked on Obama’s campaigns and in his White House frequently refer to the group as family. They stay in touch through a variety of networks: Facebook and LinkedIn are just two. There are also Obama alumni association chapters around the country — New York’s met at The Winslow in the East Village on Tuesday to plan and heal. There’s the 3,000-member White House Internship Alumni Network, and something of a master (though hardly comprehensive) Obama Alumni List, used largely to plan happy hours.
They’ve been convening and commiserating in people’s houses and at the offices of progressive organizations – one email chain lamented that Posto on 14th Street, a regular White House, closed earlier this year. While most of the meetings have been fairly ad hoc and free-flowing, multiple sources made references to a couple of more concrete meetings but said the details were too strategically sensitive to share.
Obama is planning to join them soon, virtually at least.
“The president is committed to staying in touch with this group with some regularity in the months and years ahead,” Obama’s former campaign manager David Plouffe told OFA members on the call. In fact, Plouffe added, after the disastrous election results, “We’ll have to do it a little more frequently.”
Obama is still a powerful force for the generation that grew up working for him.
“He’s our Jesus Christ. We’re crazy,” said Jaff, not without self-awareness. “It’s 10 years later, and we’re still obsessed.”
For some, it’s been hard to tolerate Obama’s measured tone about Trump, when they see so much at stake. He has acknowledged that he’s biting his tongue to help facilitate a smooth transition, but has promised to rejoin the fight after Inauguration Day.

So what do they plan on doing?
