He\u2019s the architect of the Democrat Party\u2019s electoral disaster! They want him back? Bring him back! Keith Ellison, who ran for chairmanship of the Democrat National Committee &#8230; We\u2019re working on getting the audio of this. He doesn\u2019t want Obama. He doesn\u2019t want Obama. Nope. He said, Obama\u2019s the problem; Obama\u2019s why we\u2019re in the electoral hinterlands.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there\u2019s that, any number of other things. We just barely scratched.

We have the Ellison sound bite. Let me do this so we get it done and move on. MSNBC host asks for Obama to come back and save Democrats. That would be Mika Brzezinski on PMSNBC. It was an interview with the former White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett pining for the days that Obama was the head of the Democrat Party. She said (imitating Mika), &#8220;Could do me a favor, (crying) could you ask Obama to come back and save the party? And tell \u2019em what to do?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So yesterday in Minneapolis, University of Minnesota Humphrey School of Public Affairs, the vice chair of the Democrat National Committee, Keith Ellison, spoke on the future of the party. There was a Q&amp;A. Question: &#8220;Was President Obama responsible for some of the failures of 2016? And if so, how?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LZwhnCm0ed8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>ELLISON: Yeah, he was, and look, I\u2019m a great &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Wait, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, stop it, stop that, recue this. I want to make sure everybody hears this. Question: &#8220;Was President Obama responsible for some of the failures of 2016?&#8221; You have a two second pause here before you hit the bite. I\u2019ll slate you for it so people don\u2019t miss what Ellison said. &#8220;Was Obama responsible for some of the failures of 2016? If so, how?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ELLISON: Yeah, he was, and, look, I\u2019m a great fan of the &#8212; President Obama. I totally voted for many things that he supported &#8212; Dodd-Frank, Affordable Care Act, I could keep going, wonderful achievements. But Barack Obama could have been a better party leader. And I think the fact that he wasn\u2019t has put his legacy in jeopardy. Your legacy\u2019s not a building that he\u2019s gonna construct in Chicago housing his presidential papers. His legacy is the work that he has done, which I believe is tremendous, but given that we did not &#8212; we lost a lot of statehouse seats, governorships, secretary of states, his true legacy is in danger, and I think that he can\u2019t say that he wasn\u2019t part of those losses.
