The man is clearly in denial. Years ago he used to be in touch with his base and what they wanted. He's lost his way and can't understand why Hillary lost - when it should be obvious to him.
Trying to blame the media, when they bent over backwards to help promote Hillary, is ridiculous.
President Barack Obama scolded the media for their coverage during the presidential campaign, pointing out that they had an “obsession” with the Democratic emails released by Wikileaks.
“I’m finding it a little curious that everybody’s suddenly acting surprised that this looked like it was disadvantaging Hillary Clinton, because you guys wrote about it every day, every single week, about every little juicy tidbit of political gossip,” he said, adding that even John Podesta’s risotto recipe was news.

Obama lectured the media for losing sight of the issues that faced the country, instead allowing their news coverage to be “dominated” by Wikileaks releases.
He tried to dismiss the emails as “routine stuff” that obviously embarrassed some Democratic officials, but “took off.”
“That concerns me and that should concern all of us,” he said.
Obama was defensive of his own response to the hacks, including his reluctance to call out Russia and blame them for being responsible. He also argued that he was “obsessed” about cyber security during his administration.
Did this man have no shame? Wikileaks barely got any media attention! Trump's scandals like the Access Hollywood Tape and tax returns dominated the news. Seriously is this guy for real?
Obama was right, the media released all that Wikileaks crap not knowing if that crap was authentic.

LOL!...... "Ignore that man behind the curtain!"... (The Wizard of Oz)
Ignore that fact that Wikileaks printed factual information. I didn't release it, so it shouldn't be read.
This is what concerns me. Democrats didn't want people/the media/campaigns to use the wikileaks emails because they were possibly hacked by the Russians. Even if the hacking theory is true, however, that wouldn't change the fact that the content of the hacks was 100% true. It would have been shameful and disgraceful to ignore what was in them, to reveal just how corrupt, racist, and shameful the DNC is. I also note that Dems had no problem using the stolen Trump tax information against him in an effort to hurt Trump (or does "stolen" information only become off limits if a foreign government is suspected of doing the stealing? )
This.
It pains me to see President Barack Obama get such a grilling by the Main Stream Media, I wish they would just cut it out. StOp It!
