President Barack Obama defended his vision of America on David Axelrod's The Axe Files podcast, claiming he is confident "that if I had run again and articulated [this vision], I think I could've mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it."
The interview was the latest in Obama's post-election and pre-exit analysis, and he told his former senior adviser that despite Donald Trump winning, "what I would argue is, is that the culture actually did shift, that the majority does buy into the notion of a one America that is tolerant and diverse and open and full of energy and dynamism." Obama instead blamed the Democrats for ignoring swaths of the voting population: "If you think you're winning, then you have a tendency, just like in sports, maybe to play it safer," he said of Hillary Clinton's defeat. Listen here.
Sorry Barry this election would have ended the same way with the Democrat as the Loser
Dont forget a Social Security card number from Jersey.
Lets get that butt a little higher in the air. Pumpus a**.
I cheer him on, the more the better...Hillary was his 3rd term, or that’s what the MSM promoted...so..keep it up...pour it on...keep reminding the country..that the progressive’s are marxist/socialist’s , the 2018 will finish them as an Army Trump’s (common folk) come to Washington to insure the end ....of socialism
Yeah? So did Hillary!
I don’t own any.
Well,he was either confident in his own wisdom or confident in the wisdom of the voting public.In this case,I think the public would have won. The votes he would have gained would be from those who have failed to see what a colossal failure he & his administration has been.
Perhaps he could have. He never will.
President Obama claims he is ‘confident’ he could have beaten Trump in 2016
His confidence far exceeds his abilities. He is the perfect example of being a legend in his own mind. Must have been all the dope he grew up on.
This is nothing but cowardly blustering by a narcissist whose paltry legacy is circling the drain. Any buffoon can boast like Obama when they know they will never have to follow through and actually prove themselves. What a phony, what a maroon.
