Even Willie Brown, da mayor, former mayor of San Francisco, in a column over the weekend, said Hillary Clinton is going to lose.  Da Speaker has a column in the San Francisco Chronicle, and he wrote that Hillary Clinton\u2019s gonna lose.  He said, &#8220;Everybody keeps asking me, &#8216;Why did this happen?\u2019  Beats me. When it came to the elections, I was a dreamer who thought the Democrats were going to retain the Senate. Instead, we got walloped.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And he said the big mistake that the Democrats made was &#8220;running away from President Barack Obama, &#8216;which simply played into the Republicans\u00c2\u2019 strategy of portraying him as a failure.\u2019 The party also failed to turn out young voters,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>No, we weren\u2019t making anything up.  Obama is a failure.  No, see, even have to qualify that.  In his own mind, in terms of what Obama really wants to do, he\u2019s not a failure at all, folks.  Obama is in the midst of overwhelming success. In terms of what he wants to do, what his agenda has always been, he\u2019s in the midst of overwhelming success. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&#038;rct=j&#038;q=&#038;esrc=s&#038;source=web&#038;cd=1&#038;cad=rja&#038;uact=8&#038;ved=0CCEQFjAA&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Flive-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io%2Fdaily%2F2014%2F11%2F07%2Fthe_limbaugh_theorem_explains_it_all&#038;ei=LTRhVIS5JI6xyASMooDoDQ&#038;usg=AFQjCNG8lJ9ezxIwNUdOl1kw7srff-iSRw&#038;sig2=LbRh2RokKC6C0tt6e7Yh-A&#038;bvm=bv.79189006,d.aWw\"><img id=\"eZObject_98554\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushLimbaughTheoremObamaFaceNation.jpg\"\/><\/a>He\u2019s out there saying he didn\u2019t sell it well enough.  Oh, that\u2019s another.  Let me find this.  I think I put it on the bottom of the Stack thinking I wasn\u2019t gonna get to it, mention it, but now you\u2019ve reminded me.  I\u2019ve got to mention this.  He says he didn\u2019t sell it well enough.  This is all smoke and mirrors.  The bottom line is don\u2019t forget the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=7840\">quote that we had from Jonathan Grube<\/a>r who admitted they had to lie to the American people about Obamacare in order for it to pass because the American people are too stupid to understand what\u2019s good for \u2019em. <\/p>\n<p>So Obama, when he says he\u2019s gotta do a better job of selling, no, that\u2019s just smoke and mirrors.  He\u2019s saying what he thinks other Democrats and the media want him to say.  He doesn\u2019t have to sell it.  Obama\u2019s not in sales.  Do you think authoritarian figures wait for public approval to do what they want to do?  He\u2019s not worried about making a sale on anything here.  That\u2019s so crucial to understand.  He\u2019s not a salesman.  He doesn\u2019t need a better pitch or a more believable pitch or whatever. <\/p>\n<p>He confirmed, by the way &#8212; this is major to me.  He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&#038;rct=j&#038;q=&#038;esrc=s&#038;source=web&#038;cd=1&#038;cad=rja&#038;uact=8&#038;ved=0CCEQFjAA&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Flive-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io%2Fdaily%2F2014%2F11%2F07%2Fthe_limbaugh_theorem_explains_it_all&#038;ei=LTRhVIS5JI6xyASMooDoDQ&#038;usg=AFQjCNG8lJ9ezxIwNUdOl1kw7srff-iSRw&#038;sig2=LbRh2RokKC6C0tt6e7Yh-A&#038;bvm=bv.79189006,d.aWw\">confirmed the Limbaugh Theorem<\/a>.  He literally confirmed it.  This from the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"Six Years In, Obama Admits \u00c2\u2018Campaigning And Governance Are Two Different Things\u00c2\u2019 - See more at: http:\/\/www.teaparty.org\/six-years-obama-admits-campaigning-governance-two-different-things-66652\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=six-years-obama-admits-campaigning-governance-two-different-things\" anchor_name=\"sthash.OyaNvLyy.dpuf\">Washington Free Beacon<\/a>:  &#8220;After six years of endless campaigning and fundraising, President Obama admitted to CBS\u00c2\u2019s Bob Scheiffer that &#8216;campaigning and governance are two different things.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F2EvdglHY3I\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Here\u00c2\u2019s one thing that I will say, is that &#8212; campaigning and governance are two different things,\u2019 Obama said. &#8216;I\u00c2\u2019ve ran two successful campaigns, and anybody who\u00c2\u2019s seen me on the campaign trail can tell how much I love just being with the American people, and hearing what they care about, how passionate I am about trying to help them.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s exactly what the Limbaugh Theorem is, a constant campaign and the appearance of not governing in the sense of not being responsible for anything.  The Limbaugh Theorem, as the explanation for how Obama gets away with this.  He\u2019s governing against the will of the people.  How did he get away with it for so long?  Because they relied on the stupidity of the American people, in their own words. <\/p>\n<p>Obama figured that if he was outside Washington constantly appearing at events that looked like campaign events, and if at those events he was always presenting his agenda as something everybody was trying to stop in Washington, that he wasn\u2019t part of Washington. I mean, he was elected, but it didn\u2019t matter.  He was still on the campaign trail and still trying to deal with these powerful forces that were arrayed against him, rather than appear to be governing and wielding the power that he did and has.  So he\u2019s admitted it here to Bob Schieffer.  Schieffer just didn\u2019t pick it up. <\/p>\n<p>Bill Clinton is the one who popularized it.  Clinton popularized the permanent campaign.  In the permanent campaign, you can always be at war.  If you\u2019re in a permanent campaign, you can constantly be waging war against your enemies.  But that doesn\u2019t look cool if you\u2019re waging war against your enemies when you\u2019re in the most powerful office in the world.  It just wouldn\u2019t look right.  So Obama did not ever want to convey the appearance of governing so as to avoid any accountability for what was happening.  He would go out and campaign against the very things he was implementing.  And he admits it! <\/p>\n<p>He admitted it on Face the Nation yesterday. (imitating Obama) &#8220;Yep, there\u2019s a big difference in campaigning and governing, and, you know, I\u2019ve kind of figured out the campaign part.  That\u2019s all I do.  I gotta get better at governing.&#8221;  And that\u2019s a signal to look out for these next two years.
