Obama: I can’t help feeling that I’m partly responsible for my party being destroyed
Hot Air ^ | 1/9/17 | Allahpundit

“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 was looking for someone to say “Oh no, not your fault”
Kinda a push poll.

” you’re totally responsible for your party being destroyed.”

I think The PIAPS should take some of the blame as well. Maybe more than The Obamanation of Desolation

How will they rebuild the democrat party with Obama living in Washington and being politically active after he leaves office?

He will be sucking all the air out of the room, so to speak.

The media will still be slobbering over him and Moochie and lambasting any democrat who dares to criticize him or to oppose his ultra-left agenda.

After all, it is his agenda that is responsible for much of the democrats losses since 2008.

Hillary lost, in part because she ran on the promise of continuing the Obama leftist agenda instead of less.

Behold the tremendous power that Democrats have frittered away — from January 2009 through the aftermath of Election Day — thanks to Obama and his ideas

Hey!

Guess whose fault it is.

I would say both parties are in bad shape. If the Republicans can’t shake the Cheap Labor Express globalist Bushitte RINOs that control the party then the Republican party is not long for this world either.

NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIED he’s failed to convince the majority of Americans that his policies are awesome, that he and Moochelle are awesome and that we should view him, her and his policies as America’s premiere destiny and promised land.

Our Constitution should have been changed to make him POTUS forever ... by popular demand!

Democrats are 100% globalist and corrupt to the core.
Republicans are desperate to cling to ANY power and are spineless unless it is to do some Democrat bill or donor a solid.

He will still be Jesus to 95% of blacks and to about 4% of the rest of the nation.
A poor reflection on the people more than on Obama who did fool people twice.

In a few more days, he’ll be nothing but a faded-out, nasty, little fudge stain on a pair of Lady Liberty’s old used panties. Whadda POS this guy is.

“..Guess whose fault it is....”
I’d start with Pelousi and Hairy for allowing this POS to come forth pretty much totally unveiled. Both of them should be sharing a cell with this POS.

The redistricting in 2020 though 2022 is going to be a battle royale. They are saying that we gerrymander too much (whatever the means but I hear it all the time). I think they are jealous because they only have 500 districts that they can play with. When all your voters are in a 20 mile radius what can you do? But they will fight fight fight. They want the House anyway they can get it.

Now I know why.

Not to mention the millions of aborted babies, the over half million in the Sandbox, and all the US Troops whose lives he wasted.
