Obama: I was surprised by election results

(CNN)Arguing that Americans still subscribe to his vision of progressive change, President Barack Obama asserted in an interview recently he could have succeeded in this year's election if he was eligible to run.

"I am confident in this vision because I'm confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could've mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it," Obama told his former senior adviser David Axelrod in an interview for the "The Axe Files" podcast, produced by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN.

I don't believe Imam Obama is smart enough to recognize he just described why Trump won - hope and change. :tongue2:

Beat me to it, Ranger.  :beer:

Though I'd say "Hope FOR change" won the election.

He's more delusion than I had thought.  It's a miracle the US is still here.

Perhaps, "Build that wall" became the new "Hope and Change"

The narcissism is strong with this one.

"Hope and Change" didn't win the 2012 election.  Obama had effectively abandoned that theme by the time he ran against Romney.

Obama's exit interview: Hope and change can still win elections...................

was he referring to Donald Trump who believes he is the hope of the world?

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
