Missing In Action : Barack Obama . 
Not much ties together the incoherent ideology of Donald Trump , but one signal is all too clear through the noise : If Barack Obama did it , Trump is obsessively determined to expunge it -- never mind whether the policy is good or bad , and never mind how the policy comports with Trump 's other goals . 
But Barack Obama , surely knowing that his most important achievements were about to be destroyed and that our very democracy was in dire peril , used his farewell address to take a victory lap . 
He had married Barack and Michelle and baptized their two daughters . 
We need Barack Obama to find the voice that he found in Philadelphia in March 2008 , or in Boston in 2004 . 
So , where , you might ask , is Barack Obama , as his legacy and his most important accomplishments are being systematically dismantled ?
