The former chief executive addressed House Democrats during a conference call Thursday, in which he made a valiant attempt to encourage left-leaning lawmakers as they head towards an almost certain shellacking in November.
CBS News reported: Former President Obama exhorted House Democrats to celebrate their accomplishments on the campaign trail, rather than dwell on the setbacks they’ve faced, as they try to defend their slim majority in the midterm elections this year. Obama, the featured keynote speaker during the caucus’ virtual messaging summit Thursday, told lawmakers to “take the wins you can get” and it “doesn’t help to whine about the stuff you can’t change,” according to two sources familiar with the conversation. He argued that they have a more compelling message in selling what their legislative successes mean to voters, rather than campaigning from a defensive crouch, one source said. Phrases like “take the wins you can get” and “it doesn’t help to whine about the stuff you can’t change” is the type of pep talk you might give to someone like myself, if I were being forced to step into a ring with John Cena. We may not have been in on that conversation, but if this part is any indication, Obama seems more like he was preparing Democrats for the losses they will sustain than spurring them on to victory.
Obama urged Democratic lawmakers to “aggressively highlight the progress President Biden and congressional Democrats have made on issues from COVID-19 to the economy.” Apparently, Barry hasn’t been paying attention to the polls.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
