The better question for him to ask would be "did I get anything right?" That list would be much, much shorter.

Its just amazing that he bought into the permanent Democratic majority.

No common sense.

I don't fault Obama for his opponents. He competed against who the GOP put up for him to compete against. Agree the GOP opponents in McCain and Romney were shockingly bad but that is who is on the field with you.

CRUEL IRONY

I don't think Obama is capable of even considering for a MOMENT that he got anything wrong. I think Rhodes is out there trying to make Obama look more magnanimous than he really is.

I think his first victory was exactly because he was special. First African-American president, a message of hope and change etc etc. McCain never had a chance.

(Personally I was surprised Romney got smoked like he did.)

around the time he campaigned on all that change i was trying to get my roommates to recycle. i had a trash can meant for all our beer cans which i'd collect and take to the local scrap yard. i made a sign that said "change we can believe in. get it?"

that went nowhere

Looking back on it, McCain was a dinosaur like Bob Dole and Romney was so plastic and couldn't relate to middle America IMO. Of course, was there ever a worse set of running mates than Mondale and Ferraro? SMDH.

Lol. The people's republic of Minnestota.

Same as it ever was

Nah he was just hometown boy. Trump would have likeleywon MN without that Evan guy on the ballot

Winning MN would have been the ultimate Trump troll job.

" I won a state even the great Ronald Reagan couldn't win"

You know he would have bragged about that

I wouldn't. I'd actually take Hillary over any democrat nominee since JFK, except Bill.

A better excerpt would have been, "What did I actually get right?"

And with the recession, its amazing McCain was even close before his poor campaigning put him hopelessly behind.

Romney was just a bad candidate, who like Hillary, was out of touch with reality.

b/c Romadumbo wasn't black, the wimps showed up, and his ears weren't big enough.....

he epitomized the reason I never voted in the general until #henceDJT.....and I only did that to 'pile on'....

the 'sip hasn't voted blue in 14 forevers (peanut boy....and I wasn't eligible then)......which is amazing having the poorest minority majority....

I would have to agree with that (other than there's no way in hell I would've voted for her).....Bill was easily the best since JFK....

in my lifetime, it's truly been disconcerting the 'who's who' list of candidates from the dippo ® side of the equation.....

the RNC is clueless.....the DNC is nothing but a common criminal at this point....

#henceDJT baby!!!
