Jacoby is the Globe hostage Republican. Still, it's astounding that the editors give him the space to write this.

Once he’s out of power, the criticism will be unleashed. Someone has to take the fall for the Democrat collapse.

’ Obama was reelected in 2012, but by nearly 4 million fewer votes than in his first election’

Not to mention the role that the IRS, Media, etc., played in destroying Romney. When I realized Obama was going to ‘win’ (and I didn’t sleep a wink that election night), I told my husband ‘my country is done’. And 4 days later I was in the ER with spiking blood pressure. This pResident has been more destructive to the very fabric of the USA than anyone else in our history. Prayers that Trump can right this good ship and put us back on the road to prosperity.

The Globe but Jacoby on ice for the 2008 election on a trumpted up ethics violation.

Darn, there’s a dust bunny under my dresser I’m schedule to clean on Tuesday. So wanted to watch the marxist muslim narcissist tell me again how he’s made the world safer, increased jobs, and reduced race divisiveness. Oh well, got my priorities.

To prevent duplication, please do not alter the published headline. Thank you.

“and previewed his closing argument in a series of tweets hailing “the remarkable progress” for which he hopes to be remembered.”
What a total narcissistic fuck.

2010 midterms voters trounced Obama’s party, handing them the biggest losses in 72 years. 2012 Obama was reelected by nearly 4 million fewer votes than in 2008, making him the only president ever to win a second term with shrunken margins in both the popular and electoral vote.

Two years later Obama implored voters, “[My] policies are on the ballot — every single one of them” ......nevertheless, despite Obama's braggadocio, Democrats were clobbered again.

.....in 2016, he campaigned hard for Hillary....“I’m not on this ballot,” he told campaign rallies in a frequent refrain, “but everything we’ve done these last eight years is on the ballot.”

The voters heard him loud and clear......and once again turned him down (and threw out scores of like-minded Democrats).

==============================================

/Obama has a habit of raining on Hillary's parade. Hillary's debates came off looking good and she looked good after the convention.

But her campaign fell off a cliff, after Obama gave her a push. Obama's burnishing his legacy is all he ever thinks about b/c it means big bucks for his foundations.

So his sap-happy "I'm Great" messaging forced Hillary to follow his lead and run for a third Obama term. She no longer ran on change, she ran on Obama's continued progressiveness in a country crying for change.

She lost the election in the final two weeks because of avoidable things like Obama embracing her that sent the electorate a frightening message.

The Royal Idiot's ringing endorsement of Hillary meant many people had moved over to the Trump side.

CAUTION: prolonged viewing causes violent retching.

"I flacked her on AF One and she lost four points.
This frickin' faked pose oughta be good for a point."

Sadly, I went to the comments after the article. Turns out 90%+ of those comments make fun of Jeff Jacoby and parrot all those insults we have heard for 8 years. No, the Globe and it’s readers have not grown up.

[databoss]

It’s fitting that he ends his reign of terror in Chicago the murder capital he created. This guy is so self delusional he created an entire industry of sycophants to adore him...It’s truly just like the old yarn Emperor’s Clothes....

What remains of the Democrat party are the people who just want to watch the world burn.

[Gay State Conservative]

God only knows how this guy has lasted at the Globe.

[stubernx98]

The DemocRAT party used to be the State Rights party 50 years ago. Now they have morphed into the Socialist/globalists party. No Likey.
