OF COURSE! Obama Blames Democrat Losses On His Favorite Boogeyman: FOX News
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/30/16 | Aleister

Posted on 11/30/2016 7:43:19 AM PST by Enlightened1

During his presidency, Obama has presided over the biggest losses for the Democratic Party since the early 1900’s but he is completely incapable of taking any responsibility for this.

Our biased and corrupt media attacks Trump relentlessly then runs away crying every time he hits them back. Obama gets nothing but praise from the media but can’t stand the fact that one network (FOX) has dared to question him on occasion. He’s been at war with FOX News since the beginning of his presidency and they’re still his favorite scapegoat.

Here’s what Obama said in a recent interview with Rolling Stone:

You think it’s still a progressive country?

I think that nothing is determined, but that the number of people who have a strong belief in a fair, just, equal, inclusive America is the majority and is growing.

And part of the challenge, though, that we do have, and this is something that I’ve been chewing on for a while now, is that there is a cohort of working-class white voters that voted for me in sizable numbers, but that we’ve had trouble getting to vote for Democrats in midterm elections. In this election, [they] turned out in huge numbers for Trump. And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively.

Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate. We spend a lot of time focused on international policy and national policy and less time being on the ground...

Dobbs and Hanntiy were the only two I saw as pro-Trump.

Most were outright hostile.

FWIW, friend of friend works at Fox in NY. It’s 50% Democrat working there. But given how crazy leftist the other networks are people think Fox is ‘right wing.’ It’s not. It’s middle of the road/Uniparty all the way.

Remember, Murdoch is on the board of directors of an open borders group.

You don’t think the hit job Kelly did at the debate wasn’t approved at the highest levels of the network? It was.

Infiltrator-O is so busy weakening USA and our economy and defenses and allies that he’s not even noticed that — Fox News has gone a long distance to the left

Couldn’t possibly be Fox News.

There is a bandwagon packed with Fox deniers and anti TV folks over at Free republic. Fox News couldn’t possibly be the fault

Obama is like the annoying teachers pet from class. No one likes him but he is so smug and arrogant he doesn’t know it.

FNC didn’t waste billions on porkulis, Obamacare, cash for clunkers, green jobs, Solyndra, or shovel ready jobs while dismantling our military as Arab Springs and Red Lines were ignored and cops were ambushed and women’s bathrooms perverted and millions of illegal aliens flooded our republic and ISIS brought their evil to our republic.

Amazing how much I’ve learned from our president in 8 years.

Folks, this guy represented the best... the very best person America could put in that job.

I pray that we as a nation will never be taken in again. Trump should raise the bar so high, that it will always from now on be the number one...job in the world.

OR! you could blame it on MSNBC, CNN, Washington Post and the New York Times. How? Because they have lost our respect. We simply don’t believe them any more. And Fox is on notice. Obama had turned most of the media into a propaganda arm. And some of us have noticed. Which is odd because the media themselves have not noticed. They think they are still objective.

Obama should look at the news from CNN. Every time he speaks, he is for transgender people, or black criminals, or Syrians, or Costa Ricans. But CNN rarely shows Obama speaking on behalf of American workers. He lectors us. He man-splains it to us like some college professor forced to teach a 101 course to incoming freshmen. To him, we are ignorant children who have it all wrong. That is why Americans voted the way they did. It has nothing to do with Fox.

Eric Bolling and Judge Jeanine are very pro Trump too.

You summarized the point well. Thus, Obola’s push for federal-international internet control (er, “net neutrality” in socialist-commuspeak) BY his international dictatorships.

There were people on Fox News who were clearly depressed when Trump won the election.

What this means is that President Obama knows that the Democrats are losing because they have lost control of the information flow.

He says that he has understood this, but has not been able to come up with a way to get control of the information flow back into establishment media hands.

This election was all about a revolution of the people against the establishment media.

Donald Trump is the vehicle.

Kind of like the Colts blaming their loss to the Patriots in a playoff game to underinflated footballs. The Colts couldn’t have won an inter squad scrimmage that day

Obama turned the heat up too fast on the frogs in the pot. Obama has failed his globalist masters.

Will Obama show up for the Inauguration of Donald Trump? I’m starting to suspect he won’t.

I wish he was half as mad at radical Islam as he is Fox News.

Has he watched Fox in the last Lear & a half??? It’s been a clone of CNN & PMSNBC. It was fairly friendly to Clinton & openly hostile to anything Trump related. I don’t know what Fox News Obammy has been watching for the last couple years, but it’s not the same one I observed!!! AND: get a clue Odumbo.....you actually lost because your side’s views are incredibly offensive to more than half the population & the vast majority of states.....i.e., you lost because people disagree with what you stand for! Deal with it! ;D

I’m sitting in a VA clinic. The station is on some stupid talk show. It used to always be on CNN. Now that Trump won they don’t dare put it on any news channel.

Obama forgot to blame Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. They are additional boogeymen he likes to throw around when making excuses for his own stupid policies and behavior.
