Obama: 'Fox News in Every Bar and Restaurant' Hurt Dems With Voters

[Madmallard]

President Barack Obama blamed Democrats' difficulty connecting with voters in the election partially on the prevalence of Fox News, in an interview with Rolling Stone.

"In this election, [white working class voters] turned out in huge numbers for Trump," Obama said, answering Jann Wenner about why that group, which he won a good percentage of in 2008 and 2012, didn't vote for the candidate he endorsed. "And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively. Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments.

Obama is Way Stupider than i thought he was!
He should STF Up!

he is crushing his Legacy... (HA HA HA!)

 

[dwa12479]

He can't bring himself to admit that his 8 year record was also a contributing factor in bringing the D's down.... the truth hurts, huh Barry?

 

[Cooolone]

He could reach out to all the disenfranchised, disillusioned, disconnected and forgotten basket of deplorables hangin out in bars... He really should... Once out of office he should tour the country, the back roads and side roads and meet the real people of this country and not just the prearranged KoolAid drinkers who nod in agreement with all you say! Gimme a break...

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Bitches about a strong white vote....then begs for the black vote to keep his "legacy"

He can call on a certain type people but the others can't......what a guy!

 

[GOPerfect]

So middle America does nothing but hang out in bars?

What an idiot. She lost because she sucks, it really is that simple!

Apparently she doesn't.

[Drinkthekoolaid]

The same people in rural and middle class America that he famously mocked clinging to the God and guns, reject his policies and legacy? Color me shocked

 

[Podmonkey]

Oh fuck you Obama, you piece of shit. For the last year and a half I've had to listen to the left media bias and only now that its failed you you want to clamp down? You duplicitous, traitorous, evil scum democrats lost because the everyman American got tired of taking it in the ass from you bastards! Change your platform, cease your anti gun, anti constitutional agenda, start actually, truly working for the middle class and you will get your votes. But they don't care, they are the vanguard of the the Globalist NWO, they want to enact the McDonaldsization of global culture. First Brexit, now Trump, The worlds people are sick of you, the harder you push the harder we push back. Give it up, back off, or the world will burn.

They had every other main stream news outlet in their pockets. If it weren't for Fox News, he's right - the Dems might have won.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Hey Barry, I think Trump identified it as "media bias", it works both ways dumbass.

 

[dubleuhb]

Cry baby

 

[atc250r]

He's truly the king of not taking responsibility for one's own actions or in this case policies. The left's relentless attacks on our God given rights cost them the election. Not Fox News or Donald Trump or racism or anything else. Obummer and the Democrats in general need to own their failure because they created it.

 

[Dr. Evil]

What Obama needs to understand it is the fact that people felt Hillary would have been a continuation of the shitty job he has done that did the most damage.

Ummm...I haven't been in a standalone bar in over 20 years.


Note to self: Get out more often .

 

[RayKnobs]

Ummm...I haven't been in a standalone bar in over 20 years.

I prefer bars with stools

 

[Celt]

Lol, i think hes giving fox a little too much credit... especially when you have that kelly chic selling out her conservative base to suck up to the l8bs.

 

[kev74]

I have to disagree. Listen to one of his speeches and count how many times he says "I".

When Obummer looks at a pile of shit he made, he sees gold.

 

[BerettaGuy]

You beat me to it. Holy Cow.

That would explain how he looks himself in the mirror then.

 

[Koz]

OK, I'll say it...Obama is an arrogant dumb fuck. He thinks he's the end all, be all. Fox is on at every bar because the other media outlets lie and only regurgitate Obama's talking points. Americans are smarter than the left believes they are. They are fed up with clueless, elitist assholes telling them what to think and how to conduct their lives. They are sick of being overtaxed to support lazy or illegal users and stupid programs. They have had enough of progressive globalism when America is in such bad shape. If Obama is unable to realize those simple facts he should be institutionalized and not allowed to freely function in society.

 

[Calculon]

Waaaaaahhhhhhh! Grow up dumbass. Let's hope he goes away for good.
