HuffPo Turns On Obama: He Presided Over The "Destruction Of The Democratic Party"
Zero Hedge ^ | 12-28-2016 | Tyler Durden

Tyler Durden
Dercember 28,2016

In yet another "exit interview" earlier this week with David Axelrod, Obama took the opportunity to remind us once again just how awesome he is. In doing so, he noted that he was "confident" he could have beaten Trump in 2016 and implied that Hillary lost, not because of his failures in the White House, but because she was lazy, complacent, boring and arrogant...although his word choice was way less direct and more on the passive aggressive side.

Apparently these passive aggressive attacks didn't sit well with the Huffington Post's senior political editor, Sam Stein, who appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe with some rare honesty about Obama's political legacy.

"Yeah, I mean this was as much a dig against Clinton as it was Trump from President Obama."

"You look at the destruction of the Democratic Party under Barack Obama’s leadership and you have to wonder, what was the political -- what were the electoral benefits that he gave to the party?”

“He leaves them in a much worse position. The states are decimated, they lost control of the House and Senate, the governorships are decimated.”

"Maybe [Obama] is a gifted candidate. He won election twice by substantial margins, but his legacy as a politician is a bit muddied by all that.”

Careful who you attack, President Obama, the HuffPo likes you but not if you're going to attack their chosen one.

He purposely destroyed the Dem Pty as he plans to rebuild it into the Democratic Socialist Party. IMO

He will not have much to do as they are almost there.

"Vote For My Party Or You'll Displease Me" didn't turn out to be a winning strategy.

But it looked like it had so much going for it. What happened?

Hey HuffPo, you wanted an unqualified quota baby and you got one.

Did you really think that that idiot lived to the right of the Bell Curve?

Suck it up, dorks.

"Maybe [Obama] is a gifted candidate. "

Or maybe he was a gifted affirmative action recipient who everybody was afraid to criticize for fear of being called 'racist'...

The truly amazing thing is that the barb directed at Trump really strikes Hillary between the eyes. “If we didn’t have such a worthless candidate,” says the prez.

There was no leadership from Obama. There was rule. He ordered his Obamatons to do what he wanted and they did it. A leader convinces people to follow. Obama ordered people to obey.

If Obama hadn’t wreaked so much destruction on the country, I’d be thankful for him for this alone.

George W. Bush wreaked much destruction on the GOP. The grassroots got payback when it rejected Jeb Bush.

Who’s responsible? It’s not a question of either or, Obozo. The question is, which of them is worse than the other? Very hard to say.

Obama was never a gifted candidate. His way was greased by racial politics combined with massive propaganda support from Leftists in the media, radical billionaires like Soros, and probably from Islamist radicals in the Middle East. All of that was helped along by Bush fatigue combined with terrible candidates in McCain and Romney.

Passive-aggressive is the perfect term for how both Barack Obama and Michelle Obama operate. It’s what they have in common.

What is unforgiveable about Huffpo's actions & the other MSMs, all of whom need to do prison time for "Treason by Omission", is that they failed to point out the destruction of the U.S. by this Obama Administration AND the Democrat Party.
