White House Addresses Obama's Record Democratic Losses
newsmax.com ^ | 1/7/17 | John Gizzi

Despite a record loss of offices for the Democratic Party during his eight-year presidency, Barack Obama believes that the problem is not the party’s values or policy prescriptions but the inability to “make the argument.”

That’s what his top spokesman told Newsmax Friday in response to our question about the numerous news stories pointing out that Democrats lost 1,030 offices — U.S. Senate and House seats, governorships, and state legislative offices — during the Obama presidency.

Noting that several reports conclude that this is the largest loss of offices for a party while it held the White House in modern history, we asked how the President felt about it.

This is how people with his ideology prefer to “make the argument.”

Because people with his ideology know it's their only way.

You made your arguments - we reject them.

Now get out of Don's house. Leave the silverware.

Blame the medium, not the message or messenger! Hope and Change became toxic to all but Himself!

Hypocrite! He never made the "argument" to Congress. He had a phone and a pen.

Lefties do not argue. They shove their stupid policies down your throat.

This is just another way of saying that Americans are racist and stupid, and that Barack Obama didn’t deign to “make the argument” with them.

Obama believes "the inability to make the argument” is the reason Democrats lost 1,030 offices — U.S. Senate and House seats, governorships, and state legislative offices — during the Obama presidency.

Nice to see he agrees w/ the rest of America...that the Dumbos are a bunch of nitwits.

Dear FRiend Ben:

Although I couldn’t agree more with the thoughts expressed in your post, could you be so kind as to explain the origin of that rather shocking photo.

Losing the argument is not the same thing as not making the argument. We’ve been hearing you loud and clear for 8 years. If you couldn’t make your pitch in that amount of time, then you’re just an incompetent boob.

They make the argument for “redistributing” wealth from those who created that wealth to those with political connections. Then they wonder why decent people “vote against their own self-interest”. Besides being evil, liberals are stupid if they really don’t get it.

Keep believing that Rats.The fact is that it's because you're getting your message across with *perfect* clarity that you've been reduced to a coastal Party that can only carry a couple of hundred of the nations 5,000 counties.

“So when we're talking about those kinds of numbers, it’s important to recognize that those numbers got built up in the first place because of President Obama’s political success in winning the White House the first time.”

Sure, Obama came in to office after a campaign of platitudes of “Hope and Change” and very little else other than rich people are too rich.

Over time voters figured out that Obama is a hack and that the Democrats that follow him are no better.

Eight years of Democrat control of the White House have not improved the welfare of the United States. If fact the average American makes less money than before he took office. That is the bottom line. The final measure.

As Reagan said when running against Carter “Are you better off now than you were four years ago.

Remember when Obama told the Republicans to: "Go Out There And Win An Election" if we wanted to stop Obamacare?
