President Obama Thinks Hillary Should Have Barnstormed The Nation Like He Did

President Obama gave his first press conference since the presidential election, and he tactfully explained where Hillary Clinton went wrong in her loss to Donald Trump. The president seems to think if Clinton had followed his playbook and gave every state some serious face time, the outcome might have been different.

As Barack Obama is winding down his presidency, he is doing several things for the last time, which includes the last state dinner for the Italian prime minister, and his last overseas trip, says the Inquisitr. After the election, Barack and Michelle Obama hosted Donald and Melania Trump for a tour, and today, Barack Obama did a post-mortem with the press regarding the election and the Trump administration. The president was at his diplomatic best when he took questions about what went wrong and what Hillary Clinton could have done differently.

Even TMZ commented on the polite diss that President Obama delivered to Hillary Clinton. Someone from the press asked him at his afternoon press conference what the Democrats could and should learn from Donald Trump’s surprise win. President Obama explained that he won battleground states that Clinton lost because he actually showed up. Ouch.

President Obama said that in states like Iowa, he repeatedly crisscrossed the state, talking to people, shaking hands, and kissing babies. The president said if there was a county fair or fish fry, he showed up, but Clinton only went to the state of Iowa a total of three times after the caucus. Somewhere in Westchester, there is a very ticked off grandma.

Hollywood Life says that President Barack Obama threw some cool shade Hillary Clinton’s way by doing a comparison of what he did that she didn’t do, and it’s why he was elected twice, and she wasn’t elected at all. The president explained that he spent 87 days in the state of Iowa, and Hillary Clinton spent three. And he didn’t just hit the cities but went to the small towns too.

“I won Iowa not because demographics dictated that I would win, it was because I spent 87 days going to every small town [in Iowa]. There were some counties where I might have lost, but maybe I lost by 2o points instead of 50 points.”

Even the press seemed surprised that Barack Obama actually answered the question, rather than giving a pat answer, like, “sometimes things work out in your favor, and sometimes they don’t.”

Nope. The president laid it out that he won contested states because he did the necessary work. Even the states considered the blue wall, which almost always go Democrat, like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, didn’t pan out for Clinton.

The president also suggested the office isn’t forgiving and that he hopes and believes that Donald Trump will rise to the office, and the people of the United States would do well to give him a chance.

President Obama suggested strongly that it wasn’t about demographics, but that the old adage was right, that showing up is half the battle, says the Daily Mail.

“And the challenge for a national party is how do you dig in there and create those kinds of structures so that people have a sense of what it is that you stand for.”

Never once did the president suggest that the FBI Director saying that Hillary Clinton’s email situation needed another look come up, and the press did not go there.

Do you think Barack Obama was simply telling the truth from his perspective, or was this a burn delivered to Clinton?
