President Barack Obama is complaining about aspects of the country's
electoral system that he says favored Republicans in 2016. "As long as Wyoming gets the same number of senators as California, there's going to be some
tilt towards Republicans when it comes to congressional races," he explained, pointing out that most Democratic voters were "bunched up in big cities."
During a press conference in Peru, Obama grumbled that Republicans took advantage of
"political gerrymandering" after winning wide majorities in that helped them lock in a majority in Congress. "More votes have been cast for Democratic congressional candidates than Republican," Obama said. "And yet you end up having large Republican majorities."
He cited
"bad luck" as the reason Republicans swept back into power in 2010,
blaming the economic downturn he inherited from former president Bush and
not having enough time for his policies to take root.Obama appeared to realize that he was complaining about the rules, admitting that the
electoral system has "structural problems" that the Democratic party has to accept. "But, look, you can't make excuses about the rules," he said. "That's the deal, and we got to do better."
Comment: Obama had eight years for his policies to 'take root.' What those policies did was 'uproot' the common American worker, business and family, put the ISIS pox on the world stage to fester into a monster, cause millions of deaths and countries to reel from destruction. To him it is just 'bad luck.'
7 years of Hooveresque "I'm the greatest!!!" "The economy has never been better!!" statements and NOW he says it's bad. LOL!!!
