Democratic presidential contenders have opened a surprising new front in their effort to retake the White House — calling into question the legacy and leadership of former president Barack Obama, the party’s most beloved leader.

Like young adults seeking to break away from their father’s shadow, the candidates who gathered in Detroit to debate the party’s future this week repeatedly challenged Obama’s record, both directly and indirectly, as too timid, misguided or insufficient for the moral challenge of the moment.

“It looks like one of us has learned the lessons of the past and one of us hasn’t,” said former Obama housing secretary Julián Castro at a key moment in Wednesday’s debate, when he attacked former vice president Joe Biden, with whom he served under the former president, for refusing a more dramatic departure from his immigration approach.

Replacing Obama’s signature accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act, has become the primary policy goal of many of the leading 2020 contenders. Several others have attacked Obama’s efforts to secure a new trade deal with Asia, his decision to surge troops into Afghanistan and the practice of courting wealthy donors, which anchored both of Obama’s campaigns for president.

“We have tried the solution of Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Tuesday night, defending her plan to replace Obama’s health reforms with a single government plan. “And what have the private insurance companies done? They’ve sucked billions of dollars out of our health care system.”

The turnabout comes as the party enters a traditional molting period that accompanies open presidential nomination fights. Faced with the threat of Donald Trump’s reelection and unaddressed economic frustrations, the future of the party now appears more up for grabs than at any point since the early 1990s, when Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton emerged from the Democratic primaries by promising a new third way of political moderation.

The political messaging consensus that won Democrats control of the House in 2018 — defend Obamacare, oppose Republican policies and mostly avoid disruptive liberal ideas — has also faded over the last year as candidates try to placate this year’s crop of activists.

"I'm going to repeal and replace Obamacare, and I'm going to get the Democrats to do it for me."

Borrowing another play from the Trump play book. His willingness to criticize Bush and the Iraq war is what solidified him as a serious candidate. However, I don't think this strategy will have much effect for Dems.

So Obama was too centrist for the modern Dem party, and they claim its Republicans who have moved too far right?

Yes, there are quite a few things for the radical left to pick on.

One of Obama's autobiographies mentions him being pissed off at so many people in the US not speaking English and also the Mexican flag-raising incident at a school in California. He was already called the "deporter in chief" too.

Then there was him supporting gay marriage only at the end of his first term as a re-election ploy after numerous state supreme courts ruled on it.

When Obamacare was being debated O himself said "But it's a Republican plan why wont u support this???!!!"
