Bill Clinton’s book tour with James Patterson has resulted in an absolute avalanche of hot takes that have been entertaining, to say the least.
There were claims that he couldn’t be elected today because he’s not mean enough, assertions that if Trump were a Democrat he’d be impeached, suggestions that the media was soft on Obama because of his skin color, and of course, the Monica Lewinsky meltdown.

Now, we can add one more gem of a statement to the collection.
Clinton, during an interview with Stephen Colbert, placed the blame for massive election losses for the Democrat Party on the shoulders of one Barack Obama. He even agreed to the notion that he didn’t do enough to help his wife out.
“President Obama I think, I think he did a really good job, but I think he could have done even more,” Clinton said. “If all of us who voted in 2008 and 2012 for him had also voted in 2010 and 2014.”
Colbert chimed in, “and 2016,” alluding to Hillary Clinton’s historic loss.
“Yeah,” Clinton responded.

Clinton is partially correct. It wasn’t just that Obama didn’t do anything to help out his fellow Democrats, it’s that he did too much.
The former President would frequently remind voters that while he wasn’t on the ballot in 2010, 2014, and 2016, his policies were. It was a deterrent that Americans took to heart when they entered the booth and pulled the curtain behind them.
In 2014, Obama trumpeted that “my policies are on the ballot, every single one of them.”
The Democrats then went out and lost the Senate to Republicans.
Obama has now had two record & historic midterm losses. There is Hope & Change for America.

The 2016 presidential election was widely seen as a referendum on a perceived third term for Obama, as Hillary would continue his policies. That too was lost in epic fashion.
“The notion somehow that well, I’m not as inspired because Barack and Michelle are not on the ballot this time, maybe we’ve got to take it easy –- my legacy is on the ballot!” Obama pleaded.
And we all know how the American people responded to that idea.
Obama’s party was decimated during his tenure, suffering historic losses at every conceivable level of government. Not, as Clinton asserts, because he didn’t help out enough. But because his failures as President were on the ballot.

LOL! The Clintons are going off the rails…
Clinton used the White House as a brothel, so…
That wasn’t a BUS, Bill the Shill threw 0’Bama under! It was a Peterbilt with an extra high chassis! Built especially for the MILLIONS of TRUE Democrats who will start waking up and start throwing their FERAL and fraudulent faux friends under there WITH him! Like a bucket of night crawlers, when the lid is completely removed from their slimy, nasty corrupt bodies, they’ll dive to the bottom and leave the weaker one ( who will beg to TALK, then throw THEIR faux friends under FIRST) exposed, to be used for BAIT! Big fat worms can catch BIG fat FISH!
Bill and Hillary would throw their own mothers, dads, siblings, child, or each other under the bus to make themselves look better or make a few more dollars.
Mdic….I love your comments…..and especially the one about not buying Patterson’s books. I’m with you pal…and to think…. I almost bought the latest of his efforts just a couple of days ago.
i believe it was julian assange that saved america from hillary by exposing the truth, now she wants to drone julian and has made his life a living hell for telling the truth
WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2018, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT SHARE WITH OTHERS
Bill taking over where Hillary let off.
Bill’s just taking up the Hillary blame playbook & is totally wrong. Hillary didn’t get elected because America can’t stand her & didn’t want another lying criminal in the White House. James Patterson is going to lose a lot of fans from teaming up with the POS Bill Clinton. I won’t buy another one of his books again.
