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...

Fox News didn’t cast all those important, strategic votes all over the electoral landscape, you halfrican Muslim idiot. Americans did. Deal with it.

This is unadulterated good news because Fox News continues to dominate the news landscape, which means liberals will be in the wilderness for the foreseeable future.

It astounds me how he continues to believe he’s relevant. There’s a new boss in town and he’s already accomplished so many WINS.

Obama is the one who ruined it. He was too rigid.

I think Obama’s point is that if he had total control over access to information, we’d only know what he wanted to know. “Fox News” is a euphemism for “free press”.

I don’t know where he found Fox News in a bar or restaurant. I have never seen Fox news playing in a public place. If a news station is on it is CNN. It’s the only way they get any viewers.

Obama is a pathological narcissist who is incapable of admitting failure. He really believes that he is the smartest person in the room and incapable of being wrong, which is why he rarely met with anyone in congress. His first instinct is always to blame someone or something else.

I hope Trump quickly erases every bit of his disastrous legacy.

Brett Bair has a man-crush on Charles Krauthammer. Nauseating.

Obama is actually very small and petty. The media have manufactured for him a “presidential” image

I look at this just like I do the people that blame the one call at the football game that supposedly caused a team to lose. If they had scored on every offensive series. And if their defense had stopped the other team’s offense from scoring, that one play would not have been an issue. If the libs were right in what they did or said, and they completely and openly presented it to the voters, they would have gotten every vote. And FOX would have had nothing to say in opposition. And the libs would have nothing to complain about or point fingers at. And the adage of when you point a finger at someone else, you point three others at yourself, is realized.

The democrats lost every election since 2008 with the lone exception of his “win” in 2012. What I mean is, they consistently loss seats in congress and the senate on a Federal and state level. They also lost several govenorships.

Barry doesn’t get out very much. I have found virtually no bars, restaurants or other public establishments have Fox News on their TV screens, lest some “lib” customer become offended and complain. If there’s a cable news channel on, it’s usually CNN, or even MSNBC. And of course, CNN has a monopoly in the nation’s airports.

Poor Marxist liberals. Always have to have a boogeyman and somebody to blame for their failings.

that’s just regurgitation for the masses.
informed watchers know that Fox moved more to the center about 4 or so years ago.
