The overweening arrogance of Barack Obama cursed his party for the last eight years and led

to the rise of Donald Trump.

After spending nearly a decade acting as a political celebrity, Obama has now been replaced

by an actual political celebrity.

After spending a decade decrying Americans as racists and bigots, Obama has been replaced

by a man who tells Americans they don't need to be ashamed of disagreeing with Obama.

Obama more than any other single personality except for Hillary, felt the wrath of the voters on November 9th. But there is good news, according to Obama. The election was not about him. He explained on a conference call with other Democrats yesterday, quote, let me tell you something. We got more done than any administration in the last who knows how many decades. Look, one of the challenges that I've discovered being president is I'd like to be organizer and chief, but it's hard. You got Syria. You got NATO. You got summit meetings, economic issues you have to deal with on an ongoing basis. You try to get legislation done. This morning, Obama added there is a mismatch between frustration and anger because people seem to think I did

a pretty good job. This has been a running theme with Obama. The only reason Americans don't

bow to his superior wisdom is we have been dramatically misinformed. If only the great sage

of our age had the time to speak to Americans personally, you know, between the rounds

of golf and the Kimmel appearances, he would have won. Hillary would have won. But it doesn't matter. After all, he's really, really popular. So clearly this had nothing to do with him. Now, if that sounds like a switch, that's because it is. Obama spent most of his campaign explaining his legacy was inextricably intertwined with Hillary Clinton's election. In a video, he cut just weeks before the election, he said, quote, if you want to give Michelle and me a good sendoff, get people registered to vote. If

you care about our legacy, realize everything we stand for. Is it stake? Obama even called

it a personal insult to his legacy if black voters didn't show up to vote for Hillary.

But that's the wonderful thing about being a narcissist like President Obama. If something

wonderful happens, it's solely due to you. Just remember Obama's self-glorifying announcement about the killing of bin Laden when it sounded like Obama rappeled down from a helicopter and put to in bin Laden's face. If something terrible happens, however, it's not Obama's fault. It's everybody else's fault. It's this sort of narcissism that lies at the root of Democrats defeat in 2016 and future defeats if they continue to do this routine. They think their losses have nothing to do with them. It's just because of Republican, malfeasance, and cruelty, and so they don't bother to change their behavior. Well, thank God for that. The more they insist they're impeccable, the more they double down on losing strategy so for the last time
