Obama has added Rush Limbaugh and "some commentators on Fox News" to the list of those responsible for his failure as a president.
On the January 13, 2017 NBC Dateline, Obama told Lester Holt, also known as Candy Crowley Holt for his impersonation of Ms. Crowley during the presidential debate:
The ability of Republican leaders to rile up their base, helped along by folks like Rush Limbaugh and some commentators on Fox News, I think created an environment in which Republican voters would punish Republicans for cooperating with me.
In ObamaWorld, Putin is responsible for Hillary's loss, otherwise known as the rejection of Obama's third term and agenda. In ObamaWorld, if Limbaugh and "some commentators on Fox News" (presumably Sean Hannity), had only praised Obama and not reported on Obama's shortcomings, then the Republicans would have "cooperated" with Obama. Limbaugh and Hannity are responsible for Republicans not doing whatever Obama wanted.
Obama failed to say he did whatever he wanted by using executive orders and agency regulations. For example, he termed the Iran nuclear deal an "agreement" instead of a treaty, thereby bypassing the two-thirds Senate vote to approve as required by the Constitution. This was a major policy decision that allows Iran to continue its nuclear program, with a short unverified hiatus, that puts the burden on President Trump and his successors and Israel to deal with a nuclear Iran. Obama unilaterally gave Iran, the principal sponsor and supporter of Islamist terrorist, 150 billion dollars that Iran can use for further terrorism.
Obama is trying to match Bill Clinton for Clinton-speak. To Obama, when Republicans refrained from doing whatever Obama wanted, that means that Republicans did not cooperate with him. The Republicans would have gone along with Obama if only Limbaugh and Hannity had kept quiet.

Blame others.
I wish I could take credit for it, but I confess-I stole it from another site. I’m a bad boy (Lou Costello reference).
He is such a child, nothing is ever his fault. smh
I know and it sux.
Ruined? Did he, or did he not, spend an hour and a half last Tuesday night, in Chicago, bloviating about how successful he’s been?
Great graphics...thanks.
“The ability of Republican leaders to rile up their base, helped along by folks like Rush Limbaugh and some commentators on Fox News, I think created an environment in which Republican voters would punish Republicans for cooperating with me.”
Well, I suppose the Republican leaders rile us up, if he means pissing us off because they suck so much... but I don’t think that’s what he means.
As for Rush Limbaugh... again, he’s utterly clueless. It does, however, mean that Rush will spend an hour or more today talking about himself today.
No, it was me you POS,,
I ruined you ..

Well said. It seems most of conservative pimps of punditry steal liberally here. I have found the more I contribute and read here the less I can stand the talk radio and all the ads
Same for me.
We are better informed and earlier informed here than the talkers are.
Always “the dog ate my homework”
But, but, but....I thought he said he wasn't a failure? Gives credence to what most have said. He's a failure!
Let’s all remember what Obama said in February of 2009 when he was asked by a reporter if he would “work with the republicans in Congress even though his Party controlled both Houses.” His reply was, “The Republicans can come along for the ride but they will sit in the back of the bus”
Being the Clinton’s lawn jockey ruined your presidency, Barry. Your claim to fame of riding Hillary’s Trojan mare, Totalitariancare, to the finish line was a bad idea. You make your own mistakes punk, POSOTUS. Being the frontman for the ‘Rat Crime Syndicate does have its perks though....until it doesn’t.
Stop whining.
You should be in federal prison.
ESAD, SCUMBAG
I’m not sure I have a problem with any of what you view as being objectionable… If Rush uses FR for research and gets some of his best ideas from here, yes indeed JimRob and all of us should be proud of our role, take a bow and be very thankful for the opportunity to provide a contribution to changing the mindset of the country. I’m just glad there is somebody who has the platform large enough to make the points he does to the public at large… and Rush to a large extent created that platform long before he, you or I ever heard of FR. As for him not leading a protest, we all do what we can and in his case, that probably would be counterproductive.
Trump fought back hard, taking on the Democrats, the Republicans and the entire media, all while Rush stayed on the sidelines and would not even support him until he had to to keep hiss creds with his audience.
To say "Rush stayed on the sidelines" is a ridiculous way over-reach but sure…. it took some time for him to get it. As the old saying goes, “A wise man changes his mind….a fool never does.”
The fact that you are a Caucasian hating, America hater had nothing to do with it, right Barry?
Making progress in the stages of grief.
Rush or FNN did not sell out America to muzzies or spend $96M on travel.
