Morgen of VerumSerum unearthed this old audio of Obama sharing his deep thoughts about the 2006 election after the 2010 shellacking.
In light of the even more epic 2014 tsunami, it deserves another listen.
Nobody expects President Obama to take Senator Obama’s advice, but it’s always fun to throw the words of an insincere charlatan back at his face.
In a podcast on November 15, 2006, Obama said that as he traveled around the country, he really got “a sense of the soberness and seriousness among the voters.” People weren’t interested in spin, but were “really hungering for substance.”
(After this latest shellacking, the electorate has decided for Obama what substantive issues they are hungering for – and they’re not the class warfare, racial division, sexual politics, and global warming hysteria the Democrats have been pushing.)
Obama concluded with a warning to the president, “if President Bush is stubborn, refuses to take signals from the election that the American people are looking for a different approach, then we could get bogged down and not make progress.”
All appearances, of course point to an unchastised Obama, chugging full steam ahead with an agenda the electorate has just rejected in the strongest terms.
Mr. Obama bristled as the last campaign that would influence his presidency played out while he sat largely on the sidelines. He privately complained that it should not be a judgment on him. “He doesn’t feel repudiated,” the aide said Tuesday night.
