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.

Starting 1/20/17, we have to set the table for the 2018 midterms.

Obama was a failed President. We also have to find out who this clown really is and expose him.

The Democrats are anti-American, anti-God and crooks.

Trump is making America great again—saving jobs, cutting taxes, improving healthcare, defending America and reforming the government.

For America to survive, the Democrat party must be destroyed as a political force.

Obama has given us a head start.

We need to finish the job.

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

naw. He gets his taxpayer paid minions to watch and clip and paste the important (to him) stuff. They run it by him verbally(perhaps on the links ) and if it steams him up enough.....he may listen to the clip

These 3 or 4 people ruined my career.

I’m so incompetent that I was unable to overcome this handful of opponents, even while occupying the most powerful position in the country.

Obama never sought common ground. He never wave red from his Central Planning agenda.
Many republicans would have supported conservative policies no matter who proposed them.
Obama didn’t hold meetings with the loyal opposition. If you disagreed with Obama, you were ridiculed (i.e. to McCain, ‘The election is over, John’. Putting Ryan in front row then chiding him during speech. My all time favorites, ‘Punish them at the polls’, ‘Voting is the best revenge’)

If we knew in 2008 what we know now about Obama, would we believe that Obama was up to his eyeballs in the scheme to sell his Senate seat that got Rod Blagojevich thrown in prison?

It is my personal view that Rush uses FreeRepublic regularly for his show prep, then he ironically calls his show the show prep for the media.

Of course, without attribution or dismissive attribution.

So, Freepers, take a bow.

Rush talks and makes bug money, but he never led a protest or showed at one, during the whole eight years of Obama’s damaging Presidency.

Trump fought back hard, taking on the Democrats, the Republicans and the entire media, all while Rush stayed on the sidelines and would not even support him until he had to to keep hiss creds with his audience.

It was the American conservatives, with the Tea Party and the huge DC rallies, that put the markers down and mounted the resistance, that grew and grew into political victories, no thanks to the GOP elites.

Not Rush and not Fox News.

“He is admitting his administration has failed miserably.”

Exactly right.

Wasn’t it just the other day he was telling everyone how great he was as POTUS? Guess nobody bought it!

WARNING!

McCain played a role in that one too and McCain is still out there.
