Speaker 1: Well, the Democrat National Committee Deputy chairman doing what the
Speaker 1: rest of the party will not do. Minnesota Democrat Keith
Speaker 1: Ellison is putting the blame for Democrat losses at the
Speaker 1: feet of Barack Obama. Now, first Ellison had to kiss
Speaker 1: the ring, claiming to be a big fan of Obama.
Speaker 1: But then Ellison laid into him for the state house seats,
Speaker 1: the governorships, the other losses that have wrecked the Democrat party.
Speaker 1: Ellison says, the losses, which are over a thousand seats,
Speaker 1: threatened the Obama legacy. To Obama cannot say that he
Speaker 1: wasn't part of those losses. Now, Ellison wasn't finished either.
Speaker 1: He criticized Obama for not being a good party leader.
Speaker 1: He pointed out that in a redistricting year that Obama
Speaker 1: should have campaigned vigorously, but he was barely visible. In Again,
Speaker 1: Obama was nowhere to be found. The Democrats had a
Speaker 1: record low turnout. He's great at getting himself elected, Ellison said,
Speaker 1: but not so great at working closely with Congress or
Speaker 1: raising money for state races. And that's all true, Mr Ellison,
Speaker 1: But since you're pointing fingers, here's a finger for you.
Speaker 1: If any other president had been a self serving as Obama,
Speaker 1: you Democrats would have let him have it at the time,
Speaker 1: not later once he's gone. But no, for eight years
Speaker 1: you've protected Obama from any and all criticism, and we
Speaker 1: all know why. You, Mr Ellison, are just as much
Speaker 1: to blame as Obama. M H.
