Barack Obama has regrets. The one he says out loud is directly attributable to fine people like yourself.
Politico reports:
“He almost accepted some of the blame for the state of the party, though he framed it less as the DNC atrophying from years of benign neglect while he was in the White House and being saddled with his reelection campaign debt and more as people making the mistake of falling too much in love with him.
“I’ll be honest with you, if I have a regret during my presidency, it is that people were so focused on me and the battles we were having, particularly after we lost the House, that folks stopped paying attention up and down the ballot,” Obama said.
Obama stuck to his routine of never saying President Donald Trump’s name in public, but he spoke at length about what his problems are with the Trump presidency — and why he thinks Democrats would be foolish to believe that they’re in good shape to beat him just because they’ve been doing well in winning recent elections.”
Obama didn’t just lose the House, either. In 2017, Republicans had total control of 25 state governments.Republicans held all the governorships and outnumber Democrats 667 to 252 in state Senates and 1901 to 922 state Houses. Throw in President Trump and the Republican Senate, and you have the largest electoral repudiation since Herbert Hoover’s Republicans were drummed out by Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal Demcorats. Awful as the Obama years were, we don’t regret that.
