Obama tells Democrats to focus on their "wins" during midterm campaign
CBS News ^ | February 11, 2022 | BY NIKOLE KILLION

Former President Obama exhorted House Democrats to celebrate their accomplishments on the campaign trail, rather than dwell on the setbacks they've faced, as they try to defend their slim majority in the midterm elections this year.

Obama, the featured keynote speaker during the caucus' virtual messaging summit Thursday, told lawmakers to "take the wins you can get" and it "doesn't help to whine about the stuff you can't change," according to two sources familiar with the conversation. He argued that they have a more compelling message in selling what their legislative successes mean to voters, rather than campaigning from a defensive crouch, one source said.

The former president encouraged members to aggressively highlight the progress President Biden and congressional Democrats have made on issues from COVID-19 to the economy. He reminded them of the fight to pass the nation's health care law, the Affordable Care Act, when he was president β€” and their failure to include a public option. It was a way of reiterating that Democrats shouldn't let what they didn't accomplish stop them from celebrating what they did accomplish.

That's some great advice there, Einstein.

That should make for a very inexpensive campaign. You could fit all of those "accomplishments" into a single three-second advertisement.

The engineer of the Obama Train Wreck speaks....
Even when he was President, you really didn’t want to take his advice.

LMAO! Obama is a legend in his own mind and Biden is crazier than a s***house rat-so what “wins” are they referring to?

Focus on wins....

Dems: How about the best darned President and Vice President ever? Biden and Harris are the dream team to bring Marxism to America and solve the deadly climate crisis that threatens our lives. And the long awaited dissolution of toxic systemic white racism. With a national voting rights law in place we will see 75% of the states go for Democrats in 2022 and 2024.

Note: Above is probably believed by the mysterious percentages in polls who think Biden is great. If we run into one in public, watch for them as they represent a threat to our safety and theirs.

Wins??

Inflation, cost of living, invasion on our border, Afghanistan embarrassment, Ukraine pending disaster, China eating our lunch, crime ridden cities, spending our country into future financial disaster, covid tyranny, shuttling illegals around the country in secrecy, ignoring the Constitutional rights of J6 protesters, ignoring failings of our voting system, and there’s more....

Yeah Barry, celebrate the accomplishments. DUMBASS.

YOU want examples?

Well, the managed to keep a SCOTUS pick, since Biden is still the president, and, they gained over a million new voters via the open border with Mexico.

And, they have created lawless societies in their blue cities, which they can claim with pride.

And, to Obama, getting Biden into the presidency is a win for him and democrats, since, they can claim a 3rd Obama term.

And, they can claim a thorough destruction of the country, since that's what Obama and democrats have been trying to do for decades.

In completely unrelated news, Charles DeGalle tells France they can defeat NAZI Germany by empathizing all the battles they've already won in World War II.
