One of the reasons the Democrats took a beating yesterday is because they allowed a group of scared white men to set the political narrative (more on this below). As well, instead of embracing President Obama's hard fought successes and achievements from the past 6 years, the Democrats chose to distance themselves from the President - as if he was the obstructionist.
Let's take a look.
No one embraced the successes of Obamacare ...
No one mentioned the Obamacare rebate checks insurers had to send back after charging policy holders too much ...
No one mentioned the differences between what President Obama inherited and where we are today ...
No one mentioned the record obstructionism in the U.S. Senate, where the filibuster effectively became the "60-vote rule" that's stalled hundreds of pieces of legislation on President Obama's agenda ...
Instead, Democrats allowed a small group of paranoid crazies - who vowed not to work with President Obama, and then worked to shut down the federal government - to set the narrative ...
This same group of people not only worked to sabotage the president but encouraged America to see the worst in a man simply - as Lyndon Johnson understood very well - because he's African-American, which riled up the base and made for good politics ...
How else do you explain America ignoring the successes that the GOP deliberately tried to stall, and worked to discredit?
You know the media's not going to talk about any of this.
Just saying.
