He came in in denial, and he goes out in denial.
Poor barack obama is a failure at the one thing he wanted more than anything else- to turn this country into a progressive socialist utopia in which everyone has an equal outcome despite their lack of contributions or effort. In other words, everyone would be equally miserable. But it wasn't his fault that he failed at this- nothing is ever his fault. The fault instead belongs to Rush Limbaugh.
In tonight’s NBC Dateline special, as President Obama tonight discussed his frustrations with Republicans for not being more willing to work with him over the past eight years, he once again invoked Rush Limbaugh and Fox News to discuss that very issue.Because while on the one hand there was a “tactical” decision not to work with him, Obama told Lester Holt, there was also a pressure they had to deal with:The thing is, obama's idea of "cooperating" was a simple one- do exactly as he demands. He did signal it essentially from day one: "I won." But obama never came to grips with a simple reality- he was elected President, not King. obama's fellow democrats were emboldened by the new King's attitude and dismissive of their colleagues:

It was, however, the beginning of the Social Justice Warrior Presidency. All other concerns- national security, the debt, the economy- all were framed around and be subjugated to the SJW theme that would be the obama presidency.
Rush Limbaugh and Fox News weren't the fawning sycophants that rest of the media became and obama resented it.
Not only did obama treat Fox News like the "enemies" he saw in his fellow Americans, he sought to try to censor the press:
