“Hey man, it's only the future of the world in your hands,” Obama joked with Perez in one conversation, according to a DNC aide.

Sources familiar with Obama’s meetings with members of Congress declined to offer the names of all of the lawmakers he has met with, saying the sessions were meant to be private.

Under Obama, the the Dems lost over 1000 political seats state and federal.

If that’s “rebuilding” the Dem party, go for it Obama.

It's not the democrat party he's involved with ... it's the Satanic takeover of America by his beloved moon god.

Democrats once again show how stupid they are by thinking they actually have a party remaining and that whatever flaws may be pointed out, can be fixed.

Obama was probably the only person who could set up an environment where Trump could win.

He is hardly someone to offer tips on “winning”; like 2-term prez BJ Clinton, his self-serving antics cost his party big-time. Both ended eight-years presidencies with Republicans controlling the White House and both houses of Congress.

Under Obama, Dems lost over 1000 seats---state and federal. If that’s “rebuilding” the Dem party, go for it Obama.

Royal Idiot thinks he was crowned....not elected.

He constantly misreads the polls. At the end of his 2nd term his approval rating was high....he interpreted it to mean he was still popular.....

In actuality, the nation was relieved he was finally leaving office.

Let's have a law...."Leave Office, Go Home, and Shut Up.

Remember how all of the dimwitted leftist sycophants (this includes you, Doris Kearns Goodwin) were all gushing about Obama's "leading from behind" shtick?

This appears to be yet another example.

Fool me once, shame on you - fool me every time, I must be a Communist idiot Democrat.

Unfortunately for the Democrats (but fortunately for more intelligent onlookers, who can savor its delicious entertainment value), when Obama 'leads from behind' it usually means that he is pulling his foolish, doomed-from-the-start proposals and policies directly out of his behind.

Good luck with that, suckers...

President Trump is America's legacy from Obama/Clinton/Pelosi!

First rule of holes: when you’re in over your head, stop digging.

Corollary: when your opponent is in over his head, lend him a shovel.

Absolutely - so they have to re-write history to pretend he stole the election with the evil Russians’ help. There is no other way to interpret the results of this election except: 1) Obama sucked, and 2) Clinton did, too.
