Some Numbers from Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: Here are some hard numbers for you. What has happened to the Democrats under Barack Obama's presidency? If you want to know what the Barack Obama legacy really is since Obama became president in 2008.

The Democrats have lost 11 seats in the Senate.
They have lost 60 seats in the House of Representatives.
They have lost 14 governorships. And as I previously stated, there are only four states in this entire country where the Democrats control the governorship and the state legislature, only four out of 50.

Since Obama became president, the Democrats have lost 900 state legislative seats all across the country.
They have lost mayor's offices.
They have lost city council.I mean, it's all the way down the ballot. This repudiation is deep, and it is specific. It's why Trump has a mandate. It is a rejection of what Barack Obama stood for. It is a rejection of every policy Obama put forth. It's a rejection of the ideology of Barack Obama. There's nothing happenstance. This decimating defeat took place over basically six years. Obama got a honeymoon the first two years, and to show you the depth of denial that Obama's in, we got the sound bites coming in, pardon the sniffles here, folks, nothing's wrong. It actually may be cigar smoke causing the sniffles. Nothing to worry about. Everything cool here.

I'm watching Obama in his press conference, joint press conference with the prime minister of Greece, who really -- Obama would be asked a question and he would take 10 minutes answering it, and then they'd go to the prime minister of Greece for the follow-up, and he would just kind of throw his arms out and make a facial expression like, "I have no idea what to say to that," because it was so absent and devoid reality.

Obama said that the reason this election had nothing to do with him, it had nothing to do with him. There were a bunch of liars out there in the Republican media and in media at large, and people did not have their facts straight. He said people loved the repairs made in infrastructure in the past eight years. I mean, folks, you know, it's actually not denial. It's classic Democrat liberalism. Just lie. Lie about your accomplishments. Lie about your achievements. What you do is, you take your intentions, what you hope to accomplish, what you think you're gonna get done, and then just act like you've done it. That is liberalism in a nutshell. You pile all of your hopes and your expectations and your dreams into this little package called "it happened," and then you run around talking about all the great things you did.
He's in Greece talking about all the infrastructure improvements in America and how the American people have great appreciation for him, for having done it. You watch this, and you ask yourself serious questions about, what is this? Is this denial? Does this represent strategy? I mean, what is this? Because none of it, none of it was true. Listen to the New York Times writing about this. This is our old buddy Jonathan Martin, used to be over at Politico.

He said, "The Democrats' stunning defeat in the presidential race and continued struggles in lower-level contests have jolted party leaders into concluding that their emphasis on cultural issues has all but crippled them by diverting voters' attention from the core Democratic message of economic fairness."

Translation: The Democrats got so absorbed in uprooting American culture by letting people of any gender use whatever bathroom they want and gay marriage and all this other stuff, that they forgot their attachment to the, quote, unquote, little guy.

"Over President Barack Obama's two terms, Democrats have embraced a down-the-line cultural liberalism that energized his coalition of millennials, minorities and college-educated whites. But the growing nationalization of politics and the Democrats' drift to the left doomed a number of candidates." It goes on and on and on and it gets close, but it doesn't quite get to the real reason all of this happened.

And then there's this. "Now, without rebuking the still-popular president directly, many Democrats share a growing recognition that Obama's way may not be the best course in a country where many voters have experienced little income growth and where high-paying jobs can be scarce."
You think? You think? So what happened to the Democrats? Why did they abandon the, quote, unquote, little guy? And this happened back in November of 2011. Why did they? And it was actually stated in a column in the Washington Post as campaign strategy for the upcoming 2012 campaign. They announced that they were going to abandon the pursuit of the votes of the white working class in America. Thomas B. Edsall wrote the piece. Why would they do this? One answer, one name, Barack Hussein Obama.

The people the Democrat Party abandoned are the people Obama doesn't like and the people Obama blamed for America being the way it is: racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, the bitter clingers, white, working-class Americans. And Obama took his party to where he believed the victims of white, working-class Americans were wallowing away in misery and obscurity, and that would be minority populations of one type or another. Basically what you have when you have an angry, irritated community agitator and community organizer as chief exec.

And this man remains the titular head of the Democrat Party, by the way, and he's going to see to it that he does. He's not leaving Washington after his presidency. He's going to stay there. He's going to be the face, he's going to be the top dog in the Democrat Party. He's gonna be on TV rejecting, stopping, obstructing, whatever Trump tries to do. Make book on it. Is gonna happen. He's gonna do it from his only venue of experience, and that's community organizing and agitation. So we may be looking at four years.

We might now have an actual new Big, as in Big Protest. Big Protest might become a never ending, ongoing movement bought and paid for by the Democrat Party, made to look organic and natural. This is what community agitators do. It's what community organizers do. They get people riled up and protesting. And where they don't do it on their own, they pay for it. They hire them to go do it, and that's going to be the titular head of the Democrat Party. And as long as that happens, the Democrat Party is gonna continue to lose elections big.

That's why I say it's incumbent on as many people as in a position to do so to explain to people, what you don't like about America is liberalism. What you voted against, that's what liberalism is. When you hear us describe liberals and liberalism, it's what you just rejected. It's what you just repudiated. Liberalism is what happened to your health care. Liberalism is what happened to your economy. Liberalism is what happened to open borders and immigration. Liberalism is what happened to the education of your kids. Liberalism is what happened that put this country into decline.

The thing is, you need to understand, it was on purpose. Liberals did what they did on purpose. It wasn't because they thought it would make America great. It wasn't because they thought it would make America greater, because they don't believe America deserves to be great. Their protest signs even say so. Colin Kaepernick even says so. America never has been great as far as he's concerned. And to the Democrat Party and your average, ordinary liberal and leftist around the world, America has never been great but, furthermore, doesn't deserve to be because of all of the mistakes America has made since its founding, and those are basically cultural.

Hopefully Buckwheat will grow tiresome, talking down to people, and fade into some level of obscurity, like Algore. Of course it'll help if Soros croaks and the funding slows.
