During his interview on CBS’s Sunday “60 Minutes” broadcast, President Barack Obama blamed the “corrosive nature” of talk radio and fake news for providing two of the most unpopular presidential candidates in history.
“You had two of the most unpopular presidential candidates selected by the two parties in history. Doesn’t that say something’s wrong, something serious is wrong?” host Steve Kroft asked.
Obama responded, “It indicates that there is a lot of cynicism out there. It indicates that the corrosive nature of everything from talk radio to fake news to negative advertising has made people lack confidence in a lot of our existing institutions. I think it indicates, at least on the Democratic side, that we’ve got more work to do to strengthen our grassroots networks.”
“In some ways, the Democratic Party hadn’t constructed itself to get that message out to the places it needed to get to,” he continued. “The Tea Party I have huge disagreements with, obviously. But I give them credit for having activated themselves. And they made a difference in terms of moving the Republican Party, in terms of moving the country in a particular direction. It’s a direction I disagreed with. But it showed that, in fact, you get involved, if your voice is heard it has an impact.”

Dear BHO,
Opinions vary. Thanks so much for sharing yours.
What a ‘rhetorical onanist’.
Go away loathsome creature.
Translation: The Democrat Party has to whip its voters back into line. The Party demands and expects blind obedience.
Apparently the truce with the clintons is over.
Perhaps, but your administration with its promise “transparency” sure didn’t help anything. People tend to make things up when they don’t have access to the facts.
Shut up, BHO.
The clock is running down on your mouth.
He just continues to show himself a total ass
Noon Friday cant get here soon enough
GTFO you POS
Obama only needs to look in the mirror to see much of what is wrong with recent politics. But he only sees what he wants to see. For all of his talk about how unpopular Hillary was, Obama actively campaign for Hillary’s election to be a referendum on continuing his policies. He failed.
Obama only disagrees with the direction the Tea Party has turned the country to because he doesn’t want to see America Great Again. He did all he could to ruin every aspect of what makes us great.
The toxic garbage from Communists in Hollywood, the genocidal attack on our children by Planned Parenthood, and the Socialist-Justice-Revolution from academia and this Obama’s Red House have poisoned Democracy in America.
Get off the stage you lying bastard (look it up, his parents’ marriage was not legal, he was already married to another wife).
The guy is ready for the funny farm. Get him out of there. Fast.
Autocrats cannot tolerate the notion that they should be held accountable.
BullStalin. He weaponized the IRS to target his political enemies.
Oh just shut up, pack your s—t, and get out of Trump’s house.
Blah, blah blah.

Having an opinion other than Iman 0bama’s is “corrosive”..
Rush Limbaugh has enjoyed living, rent free, in Obama’s head since 2008 when he professed that he hoped that Obama’s policies fail.
