President Obama spent the first several years of his presidency blaming his predecessor, George W. Bush, for anything and everything that went wrong. Now, eight years later, on his way out of office, perhaps even Obama understands it’s a bridge too far to try to blame Bush for his own failures.
But never fear, the man who takes responsibility for nothing — even after trying to exert the power of his “pen and phone) over just about everything — has another scapegoat at the ready.
Fox News.
Via The Daily Caller:
What do you get when a failed president sits down with a rape-hoaxer? You get some very satisfying schadenfreude, that’s what. Absolutely delicious.
What better way to wallow in his misery than to sit down with the disgraced publisher of the discredited Rolling Stone magazine?
You can read the entire interview, if you think that’s a good use of your time. But the following is all you really need to know about the impenetrable bubble of delusion these guys live in:
You think it’s still a progressive country?
I think that nothing is determined, but that the number of people who have a strong belief in a fair, just, equal, inclusive America is the majority and is growing.
And part of the challenge, though, that we do have, and this is something that I’ve been chewing on for a while now, is that there is a cohort of working-class white voters that voted for me in sizable numbers, but that we’ve had trouble getting to vote for Democrats in midterm elections. In this election, [they] turned out in huge numbers for Trump. 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.
That’s right, Barry. None of what’s happening has anything to do with you. It’s not about anything you’ve said or done. It’s that damn Fox News. It’s all those meanies in “big chunks of the country.” Why, they refuse to walk into a bar or restaurant that’s not playing Fox News! They’re the ones who did this to you.
If Fox News had the level of power President Obama claims, he wouldn’t have been elected, let alone re-elected.
Well, it’s not about what’s true. It’s about what makes Obama feel better about himself.
And as Stephen Miller (the blogger, not the Trump operative) points out:
“I lost because all those stupid voters decided how to manage their own remote control” is a great way to go out.— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) November 30, 2016
“You didn’t build that.. Oh and by the way, what you put on your TV is the reason I’ve decimated the Democrat party”— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) November 30, 2016
Media obsessed with fact checking Trump all of the sudden won’t ask Obama the last time he was in a bar where Fox News was on a television.— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) November 30, 2016
When’s the last time you saw Fox News on in a restaurant, bar or at the airport?
Once again, President Obama demonstrates he lives in his own delusional little bubble, crafting stories designed to protect his ego from the brutal truth — reality be damned.
Anyone else see the irony of the president sitting down with none other than one of the greatest shining examples in recent history of literal fake news — Rolling Stone — to decry the role of Fox News (what libs love to call “Faux News”) in getting in the way of his own “greatness”?
