As Twitchy told you yesterday, while in France, former President Obama lamented a “temporary absence of American leadership.” Obama was referring specifically to the Trump administration pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement. But that wasn’t Obama’s only criticism. He went on to say the demographics of who serves in politics needs to change:
Obama: We need to elect more women because "men seem to be having problems" https://t.co/sdDXrHV5xn pic.twitter.com/FCJOBUFRMC

Obama could have started helping achieve that goal years ago:
Nobody is more at fault for this than Obama.
Its his fault…he should have deferred to Hillary in 2008. https://t.co/C371jcVNpR

"Men seem to be having problems," says Obama, seemingly unaware that not every man is like him. https://t.co/n3zn417O0F

If it wasn't for him, we would have had the first woman President a decade ago.

It’s so nice of Obama to admit he was part of the problem! Obama’s comment could also be construed as a slap at Al Franken and John Conyers.
Uh, in case you didn’t notice, your WHOLE party is having problems. Women won’t fix that. https://t.co/2MDguzOHvS

Not only was Obama the 1st black President, he was also apparently the 1st female President. https://t.co/pl3wm9qaDO

Point of order, William Jefferson Blythe Clinton was the first black President, so it makes sense that Obama was the first female President.

Hard to argue with that.
