Out of the gate, Obama reminds the GOP a majority of voters didn’t vote for them

You didn’t build that!

[purplelobster]

Ha Ha yes, I think that Barry’s own cabinet members must have gotten the message, but are too afraid to break the news to him.

[Chode]

pretty much... but there are down ticket races that suffer also

or in my case i voted up ticket for who i knew would do what needs to be done but didn't vote for two down ticket races that weren't worthy of my vote

[Sooth2222]

"choosing not to vote is still voting, just in the negative, yes? "

I think it would be best that if no candidate could manage to win 50% of all the eligible voters in an election, that the elected office would remain unfilled until the next election.

Since Obama never won a majority of all eligible voters, he wouldn't have become President. Better an empty elected office than an empty suit occupying an elective office.

WHAT A PIG. He NEVER takes responsibility......even when he said ‘make no mistake.....my policies are on the ballot’. So, low voter turnout caused the Republican wave??? Just the Lamestream covering for him again.......would Obama have gotten ANYWHEE IN LIFE if he didn’t have people covering for him???

[DoughtyOne]

Who does he think the majority of voters on Tuesday did vote for?

[sourcery]

It is a logical fallacy to assume that those who did not vote must support the President’s views.

Anarchists, for example, would be staunchly opposed to anyone being President at all. And the 20% of the electorate who are or lean libertarian feel very disenfranchised by the choices the current political landscape offers them.

[originalbuckeye]

PS-And the majority of voters, who didn’t turn out, didn’t support Obama either........

[Chode]

wouldn't THAT be a hoot...

[Salvavida]

Oh Barky. So an apathetic and lazy electorate is your strongest argument for your delusion of legitimacy?

Such a child.

RE: Who does he think the majority of voters on Tuesday did vote for?

I believe Obama is telling the press that the MAJORITY of potential voters ( registered ) DID NOT vote on November 4, therefore the ones who DID vote are the minority (implying falsely that the Republicans don’t have a mandate).

[Mygirlsmom]

Is Semmens writing at Hotair now? This can’t be serious.

[DoughtyOne]

So what? That’s way out there in the ozone.

The Republicans cleaned the Dems clock. That’s all they had to do.

He’ll just have to come to terms with it.

[Graybeard58]

Was poor turnout to blame.

Record mid term turnout here in conservative central Illinois.

[BenLurkin]

Yup.

A big thumbs down on Obama’s policies.

[Defiant]

They don’t cheat to make up for lazy voters. They cheat because to Marxists, the only thing that matters is power.

“To two-thirds of voters that chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too.”

If they didn't vote then they are not "voters".

So what percentage of the universe of people who could have voted voted for Obama?

[Steely Tom]

“To two-thirds of voters that chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too.”

Apparently, Mr. Obama believes that most (if not all) eligible voters who didn't bother to vote would have voted for him.

[katana]

And it doesn’t dawn on him that the same can be said for the numbers who voted for him in 2008 and 2012? Stupid and mentally ill are a dangerous combination.

[originalbuckeye]

Yes, Obama is delusional. No reality check for him!
