Obama Spokesman: 'Far Too Early...to Discern Exactly What Message Voters Were Trying to Send'

On the day after Americans chose Donald Trump over a woman who promised to defend and “build on” Barack Obama’s policies, a White House spokesman said he doesn’t know what message the voters were trying to send.

“[T]he results of the election are not even 12 hours old, and I think it is far too early, at least for me, to discern exactly what message the voters were trying to send last night,” Josh Earnest told reporters on Wednesday.

“There certainly is a lot of speculation about what that may have been. Most of that speculation emanates from people who predicted a very different result last night. So that's the essence of punditry — nothing wrong with that, but it is why I think it’s going to require more than 12 hours of consideration and investigation to get to the bottom of what was actually motivating so many people who cast votes at the polls yesterday.” …

Well, one of the messages is that you are out of a job, Mr. Not Earnest.

“GTFO!!”, that was the message. And the fact that the Democrats are too dense to grasp this is why they’re out.

Gees...can’t figure out the message? And here all your liberal friends think you’re smart. You should have kept your mouth shut and let them continue to think that rather than open it, read the teleprompter, and remove all doubt that you’re an idiot.

Geez Josh. You can pull your head out of your you know what anytime now. You’re out of a job in a little while anyway.

Let me help you, Josh. Americans who voted, not the clowns burning up the streets and flags, want:

1. The individual mandate for healthcare repealed

2. Lower business and income tax rates

3. Immigration laws to be enforced

4. Dramatic reduction of government bureaucracy and red tape

5. Respect for law enforcement

A key message was rejection of Obamaism.

But the likes of Josh Earnest can’t comprehend that.

Hillary ran to be the 3rd term of Obama. Obama himself said his legacy and continuing his policies were on the ballot, even though his name wasn’t on the ballot.

But people like Josh and liberals and general, just can’t believe what happened. To paraphrase what somebody once said about another election, nobody Josh knows voted for Trump. So its beyond his frame of reference to think that tens of millions of voters out there would reject a liberal corrupt candidate in Hillary.

I don't normally agree with Michael Moore, but I think he articulated the voters' message perfectly.  photo Trump gorilla_zpsfoixeehn.jpg

Understandable. This is from someone who is confused about the motivation of Islamic terrorists who pledge allegiance to ISIS and shout ‘allahu akbar’ while they’re gunning down innocents.

The enemedia has determined these are the messages: 1) White America hates black people, so they voted against a white woman, and 2) White America was too sexist for a woman president (despite Trump’s performance among women).

The low turnout should be a concern on both sides, but much more for their side; they can’t arouse really arouse black voters without a black candidate...

This will morph into, “We didn’t get our message out.”

'Far Too Early...to Discern Exactly What Message Voters Were Trying to Send'

Hmmm...let me take a stab at this. Could it be a repudiation of socialism? No!

A disagreement with the liberal's godless atheism masquerading as diversity religion? Never!

A beat down of incessant political correctness shoved down our throats? Nyet!

A reaction to the cognitive dissonance we experience by being told "Islam is a religion of Peace!". Nada!

A response to forcing our little girls to endure boys in their locker rooms and bathrooms? Nein Danka!

How about a retort against 22 Trillion in national debt? Of course not!

What about a disagreement with crippling taxes on the middle class? You wish!

Guess your right, much too early to tell!

I will be so happy never to see him again.
Can’t wait to see who the spokesman will be, all of the choices are fantastic!

“We didn’t make ourselves understood”, “the general voting public is far too ignorant to understand what we are trying to do.” ETC
