Obama knows why Hillary lost, just listen to his attacks against her in 2008, they were awesome!
She did not help herself; I think it is obvious by now she is a lousy candidate and can't excite the crowds, but as my husband says, Trump is one of the best PR people alive: he knows how to work the media and it showed.

The track record of Hilary. You mean this video?

The ACA is a perfect example. There are obviously some major flaws with this legislation; he could easily acknowledge the problems and call on Congress to fix them while maintaining his position that passing the ACA was the right thing to do, but he just won't do it. It's like he doesn't realize that the working-class Americans that the ACA was supposed to help are seeing their premiums double.

And maybe he doesn't. I've come to believe that he's got some sort of Elvis syndrome going on, where he's so surrounded by yes-men that he's shielded from any indication that not everybody thinks everything is A-OK.

Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate. We spend a lot of time focused on international policy and national policy and less time being on the ground. And when we’re on the ground, we do well.



Lol can you believe this guy. All the other cable news outlets were promoting Hillary as much as her campaign team, but Obama thinks Hillary lost by not having Fox on her side, too? And who goes to bars to watch Fox News?
Of course I can believe it. Blame anybody, anything, except oneself for one's (or a group's) short comings. Introspection and personal responsibility for one's own actions are foreign concepts to this bunch.

Sean Hannity, and maybe Bill O'Reilly to a lesser extent (IIRC) supported Trump during the campaign, but it seemed to me that Fox was in the bag for establishment Republicans, who hated Trump as much as the Democrats do.

I am entering the greatest season of my life.

First there is Christmas. On Christmas Day a momentous even will come to pass - The Halmark Christmas Specials will go away, and I will once again take control of the remote. Real people who fix cars and build houses will once again appear on the TV. Can't wait.

And then there is Friday, January 20, 2017! The embarrassing reign of the man who should never have been elected will end. The unqualified, thin skinned, apologist who was elected because of skin pigment and little else will at last become irrelevant.

It will be a great day in America.
