Obama: Limbaugh and Fox News ruined my presidency
American Thinker ^ | January 17, 2017 | J. Marsolo

Posted on 01/17/2017 4:15:37 AM PST by NYer

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.

I thought that Obama himself told us how great he was?

It’s really all about the super delegates and the millions of disenfranchised Democrats.

The fact he was AA AA might have been problematic. Being married to a Wookie certainly didn’t help and lying about everything all the time certainly precipitated failure.

He’s admitting to listening to Rush and watching Fox News?

Add that to vacations, playing golf etc., Thank God he only worked part-time or we would have had more executive orders and a lot more unconstitutional regulations.

3 days to go!!!!!!

If someone telling the truth about what you’re doing ruins you, you might be doing it wrong.

Admittedly, I didn’t listen to Rush as much during Obama, but I thought he was a lot rougher on Bill Clinton when he was in office.

This stupid Kenyan AA freeloader is a real loser. He still has 2.5 days to serve and he is already blaming folks for his failures as a person. What a joke. Wow, his ever being elected should scare the hell out of the left. Surely they have to know how stupid they were to vote for him.
