After weeks of pushing the "Russian hacking" narrative, mostly through White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, Obama is finally admitting that Hillary "lost badly" in her presidential bid by failing to make an argument to people in the Midwest that inspired them to "show up." In an "exit interview" with NPR, Obama said that Democrats face "structural problems" with their base clustered in urban areas on the coasts which requires presidential candidates to make their case to swing voters in the Midwest, something he says Hillary failed to do. Per The Hill:
Of course, when pressed on whether the electorate understood the democratic argument and simply chose to reject it, Obama assured NPR that that simply couldn't be the case. As Obama has told us many times, if anyone disagrees with his position on a certain policy then it is simply because they must not fully understand it.
"There are some things that we know are a challenge for Democrats structural problems," he said.
Obama noted that Democratic voters are often clustered in urban areas and on the coasts.
"So as a consequence, you've got a situation where there're not only entire states but also big chunks of states where, if we're not showing up, if we're not in there making an argument, then we're going to lose," he said.
"And we can lose badly, and that's what happened in this election."
Perhaps the President is admitting that a little less golf in his second term might have been beneficial to his party?

LOL....maybe because ILLary failed to ‘show up’.
Exactly!
Or if they know your lying through you teeth, you might lose as well.
Obama—ever ingracious while pretending to be so.
Trying as hard as possible on the down low to steal the election from Trump, vowing to ever campaign against Trump and have him badmouthed with false claims, even from his press secretary before Trump has even taken office.
And at the same time repeatedly bashing ol’ beaten Hillary, to try to make sure nobody blames him for her loss.
Obama’s 50%+ black youth unemployment, real unemployment and underemployment rate, no real economic growth, etc. didn’t help her much either.
Demos thought the American people were more consumed with which restrooms trannys should use instead of jobs, national security, immigration, etc.
Democrats didn’t show up?
They personally repudiated Obozo and his legacy.
No one loved it. And it will all soon be undone.
Or if they know your lying through you teeth, you might lose as well.
Or maybe a Godless, socialistic, un-American, government that no world leader respects didn’t appeal to us!
Teasers from the new book, but Cankles had MASSIVE shortfalls in IA, MI, PA, OH, and WI.
She actually did better than Obama in FL, but, ironically Trump would have beaten Obama in FL too this year, and crushed him in OH.
Good grief - it’s almost like someone clued him in that 3000 miles separates the east coast from the west coast and holy cow, we forgot all about that wide expanse of country in between. He must wake up every day forgetting the excuse he used the day before and then throws out a new one.
Where’d you get that picture of Hildebeeste? She looks like she’s about to blow chunks.
More Americans voted anti socialist and anti marxist this time. Both and another should become illegal in the future.
We need to organize a real, true, working conspiracy that conspires to just not tell the idiot destructionists that it’s their ideological agenda that turned so many people off. The rest were turned off by the disgusting degenerates that they parade before us.
It would help save this republic if the idiot destructionists would just keep doing what they’ve been doing while flailing around for excuses for their fail that assuage their egos.
The "Black Lives Matter" movement didn't even exist until a black president was living in the White House. The people who put him there realized after 5-6 years that he had done absolutely nothing for them.
The only "Plan" I ever heard was more of the same crap that 0bama shoveled and a 65% tax increase on the Middle Class, neither of which seemed appealing.
He might also point out that Hillary Clinton was an awful candidate. LOL.
I dunno, zero, I think you can blame all this on your Republican FBI Director Comey, save time and effort.
I’ve noticed recent footage of Comey shows him beaming and glowing, he’s happy.
