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.

Here's the
of that quote
I know! First honest thing to ever come out of his lying mouth!
What a pity. Bathhouse Barry ruined my country.
Obama: America is going great!
Obama: Rush kept me from my agenda.
I guess Rush made America great!
So Limbaugh and Fox News are heroic?
He's trying to get all those done in the last week.
LOL!!
For a man so smart, he should have “got it” way sooner than he did.
To him, it is all about the show and its viability and not the nation. The sidelines were quite comfortable.
That become evident throughout all of 2015 and 2016.
Obama was too big a threat to America to deal with him with kid gloves.
I know that mine is a minority opinion, but I listened to Rush from 1988 to 2014 almost everyday.
It took a lot for me to get where I am today concerning him.
Fair enough... no person or their actions are above criticism. As for me, I’ll take the imperfect Rush over the perfect libs that are too numerous to mention....
This once I agree with Obummer, which is why Fake News media has “Truth Squads”... that seek Truth wherever it’s found and work to hide, ignore it or better yet, destroy it, so it never sees the light of day!
For 1% Truth destroys 100% lie!
Bump! Rush played middle of the road for way too long.
