At one point in President Obama's interview with ABC News that aired over the weekend, George Stephanopoulos noted that "the Democratic Party got pretty hollowed out on your watch, about 1,000 seats lost in the Congress, Senate, governors, state houses." Then he asked: "Is that on you?"
It was a good question. Since Obama took office, Democrats' fortunes have plummeted. The party lost 900 seats in state legislatures, 12 governorships, 69 House seats and 13 Senate seats.
Clearly, whatever leadership Obama provided, it wasn't helping Democrats connect with voters across the country.
So what was Obama's response?
At first, he tried and we're not making this up to blame President Bush.

Trump’s fault. Yet ANOTHER win?
He spent almost the first three years blaming everything on Bush.
the notion that after he continues to do so after 8 years..?
well that just leaves me flabbergasted.
There has never been such a shiftless, jive-talking shirker, not even among black men.
because it was Bush’s fault?
Thier boy wonder throws them under the bus
For the Democrats demise... That is the one thing I will thank Obama for...
For everything else he did... no thanks.
".....and then they chit in my diaper"
"Presidenting is haaaaaaaard..."
History is going to savage this...person.
😂😝🤣😜
Stephie should have asked him, “What does it feel like to be the last black president?”
He ain’t gonna ask questions that aren’t pre-approved.
"Ah Dindoo nuffin". Yep...that was the problem for 8 straight years.
Don’t blame me says Obama?
Yes blame you:
As presidet Obama lied to the People:
” If you want to keep your doctor, you can keep your doctor!”
An outright insidious lie.
And Americans af all political parties did not forget it.
And they voted against the democrat party.
Obama’s legacy is an almost complete destruction of the Democrat party by Obnama and his “in your face” leftists.
Screams “fire” in a crowded theater and blames adults being overweight why some children were trampled to death.
He can make all the excuses he wants, but I think deep down he knows he was the one at fault. He knows his legacy is trash and it is due to him. LOL.
If not the Current Occupant, then who?
And if not now, then when?
In their unfounded adulation of a “rock star”, the Democrats willfully blinded themselves to the dangers of “hero worship”.
No man is beyond criticism, no matter what the optics that criticism may bring.
There was only a finite amount of oxygen in the room. And the Current Occupant breathed it all up.
The logical successors were left strangling and lethargic, unable to mount any effort to revive themselves.
Bush & the Russians.
I guess there was nothing left of the dead Russian horse everyone has been whaling on the past couple of months.
Oh well, the sign on Obama’s desk has always read, “The Buck Stops Somewhere Else”
