发帖数: 29846 | 1 Pathetic Obama Blames Fox News and Rush Limbaugh for His Failures
by Jammie
Starting year six of his failed presidency, the petulant man-child lashes
out like a three-year-old. Without the evil Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, he’
s apparently have a 100% approval.
What a dick.
President Obama said that gridlock on Capitol Hill stemmed from an
inability to “penetrate the Republican base” and convince voters there
that he’s “not the caricature that you see on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh,”
rather than his oft-questioned willingness to socialize with lawmakers.
In bonus excerpts from an interview with The New Yorker’s David Remnick
, Obama conceded that there was “no doubt that personal relationships
matter at the margins and can tip something over the finish line,” and
admitted that he “wasn’t in a position to work the social scene in
Washington” as the father of two young girls.
But he said comparisons to presidents like Ronald Reagan and Lyndon
Johnson were unfair in an era of polarized parties and gerrymandered
districts.
Obama said “it wouldn’t have mattered how many drinks” former Speaker
Tip O’Neill (D-Mass.) and former President Reagan had, were the top
Democrat not grappling with conservative Southern Democrats from districts
won by the Republican president.
“I think probably, just from a purely political point of view, the
bigger challenge that I’ve had has to do with the fact that there is a core
group of Republican House members in particular who know that I lost their
districts by twenty-five or thirty points, and that there is a Republican
base of voters for whom compromise with me is a betrayal,” Obama said.
The president also complained that conservative media had created a “
caricature” of him divorced from “reality” that made rallying voters from
those areas particularly difficult.
“The issue has been the inability of my message to penetrate the
Republican base so that they feel persuaded that I’m not the caricature
that you see on Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, but I’m somebody who is
interested in solving problems and is pretty practical, and that, actually,
a lot of the things that we’ve put in place worked better than people might
think,” Obama said.
Ronald Reagan faced a media 100% in opposition to him, yet never once did he
whine about it. Of course the difference there is Reagan was a man
comfortable with himself. Obama, at 52 years old, is still searching for an
identity. What a pathetic loser. | j*****v
