Obama: I can’t help feeling that I’m partly responsible for my party being destroyed

“I take some responsibility for that,” he admits before shifting instantly to how he wasn’t really responsible, having inherited an economy brutalized by the financial crisis, etc etc. I’d be curious to hear him explain, in detail, where he thinks his share of the blame lies. Stephanopoulos doesn’t press him on it, which may be a symptom of his Democratic sympathies or, more charitably, may be due to him suspecting that Obama would have only given a self-serving answer anyway. You’re never going to hear O say that it was a dumb idea to pass a massive health-care reform bill that was unpopular from day one on a strict party-line vote. The most you’ll get from him is something along the lines of “I overestimated how ready the country was for the sort of forward-looking change I’m interested in.” He was simply too far ahead of his time, and thus must America take a detour into “the wrong side of history” before realizing that Obama was right all along.

The funniest part of this answer is how it develops, of course, into him extolling his own abilities. “Partly because my docket was really full here, I couldn’t be both chief organizer of the Democratic Party and function as commander in chief and president of the United States,” he told Stephanopoulos. “We did not begin what I think needs to happen over the long haul, and that is rebuild the Democratic Party at the ground level.” If only he’d been able to juggle both roles, president and “chief organizer” (whatever that means), the Democratic Party wouldn’t have lost a thousand farking seats at the federal and state level since 2009?

He thinks he was elected for ability instead of for being Negro.

The political pendulum swings both ways.
This mooselimb fag pushed too far left and now the left can go bonkers as they over reached and the pendulum is swinging way right.
And the lazy narcissist golfer failed to get anything ratified by congress and ALL his B.S. will be thrown in the crap can of history by Trumps pen.
B.H. Obammy, the worst president in history.

A real-life example of being born on third base and thinking that he hit a triple.

Heh heh - it’s all that he has for a legacy - the destruction of his Party...

>> And he’s bound for New Orleans <<

Jesus just left Chicago
And He’s done gone down to DC
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago
Done gone down to DC
Workin’ one end to the other
And all points in between

Took his junk out to Las Vegas
Guess he had to raise some cash,
He talkin’ up the sinners
Who jus’ want to touch his sash,
And then he back out on the golf course,
Hackin’ up the grass.

Oh, take me with You, Jesus

You might not see him in person
But he’ll see you just the same
You might not see him in person
But he’ll see you just the same
You don’t have to worry
Cause takin’ care of business is his name
