The historic losses suffered by the Democratic Party during the tenure of President Barack Obama have been well-documented. Here is a statistical perspective of the losses from a Fox News piece:
“The grand total: a net loss of 1,042 state and federal Democratic posts, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and the presidency.”
So how much responsibility does the Democrat who’s been in the nation’s top office take? You can probably guess: “Some.” Check out the video.

It seems that the word “some” is creeping into a lot of Obama’s reflections. He was quoted by Sen. Claire McCaskill as telling Senate Democrats last week that he took responsibility for “some of the failures to make sure people understood the changes in the health care system.”

At what point do you either take full responsibility or just stay quiet?

The Democrats who lost their seats during his tenure are probably not very amused by this.
