“I take some responsibility for that,” he admits before shifting instantly to how he wasn’t really responsible, having inherited an economy brutalized by the financial crisis, etc etc. I’d be curious to hear him explain, in detail, where he thinks his share of the blame lies. Stephanopoulos doesn’t press him on it, which may be a symptom of his Democratic sympathies or, more charitably, may be due to him suspecting that Obama would have only given a self-serving answer anyway. You’re never going to hear O say that it was a dumb idea to pass a massive health-care reform bill that was unpopular from day one on a strict party-line vote. The most you’ll get from him is something along the lines of “I overestimated how ready the country was for the sort of forward-looking change I’m interested in.” He was simply too far ahead of his time, and thus must America take a detour into “the wrong side of history” before realizing that Obama was right all along.
The funniest part of this answer is how it develops, of course, into him extolling his own abilities. “Partly because my docket was really full here, I couldn’t be both chief organizer of the Democratic Party and function as commander in chief and president of the United States,” he told Stephanopoulos. “We did not begin what I think needs to happen over the long haul, and that is rebuild the Democratic Party at the ground level.” If only he’d been able to juggle both roles, president and “chief organizer” (whatever that means), the Democratic Party wouldn’t have lost a thousand farking seats at the federal and state level since 2009?

That bastard is an over-rated queer Muslim mulatto, nothing more
the Kenyan Idiot is right. Partly. The other part of it was fear of having Hitlery as prez..
Hey, give yourself more credit than that - you're totally responsible for your party being destroyed.
Well, I would have said A$$hole Delta Bravo Mike Foxtrot, but to each his own.
He is too modest, he is completely responsible for the decimation of the Democrat party.
They have fewer seats at every level since the 1920’s.
Well, you were right about “bastard” and everything else, but you forgot communist.
This just MIGHT be the only truth to exit his pie-hole during the past NINE YEARS
Embrace the suck Bammy.
FU and the camel you rode in on.
MF’er.
ESAD.
Partly?
You can go all the way down to state and local level....the damage was so broad, and coming at the point of the 2020 Census having a major effect on district maps for the whole decade ahead. It’s hard to imagine that eight years later, this amount of damage has been done and could take twenty years for them to recover.

EXCERPT-----As President Obama concludes his reign of error, his party is smaller, weaker and ricketier than it has been since at least the 1940s. Behold the tremendous power that Democrats have frittered away — from January 2009 through the aftermath of Election Day — thanks to Obama and his ideas:
•Democrats surrendered the White House to political neophyte Donald J. Trump.
•US Senate seats slipped from 55 to 46, down 16 percent.
•US House seats fell from 256 to 194, down 24 percent.
•Democrats ran the Senate and House in 2009. Next year, they will control neither.
•Governorships slid from 28 to 16, down 43 percent.
•State legislatures (both chambers) plunged from 27 to 14, down 48 percent.
•Trifectas (states with Democrat governors and both legislative chambers) cratered from 17 to 6, down 65 percent.

Not destroyed though, unfortunately. The Good Lord has given us an undeserved reprieve - it remains to see what We, the People, do with it.
Unleash the beast lol
He has NO idea of the amount of him being thrown under the bus by the left the SECOND after he is no longer in charge.
It will be monumental.
All the NOT WINNING for RATs. Love it!
Ask him why he played so much golf if indeed he found it impossible to do part of his job that he now laments...
