Seriously. This trumps even Obama’s delusions about how he didn’t feel that Tuesday’s GOP tsunami was a “repudiation.”
@ByronYork it's the Stupidest thing I've ever seen!

It is, as Twitchy readers know. But take another look as Washington Examiner chief political correspondent and Fox News contributor Byron York lays it all out.
Obama: 'To everyone who voted, I want you to know that I hear you. To the two-thirds of voters who chose not to [vote], I hear you, too.'
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
Err … what?
@ByronYork @BarackObama @SenBobCasey ; I think Charles Krauthammer was right. Obama needs to seek professional help. He's hearing voices.
— Kevin Sheahen (@pghdads) November 7, 2014
Heh.
Obama did something extraordinary in post-election newser: He claimed a mandate on behalf of voters who didn't vote. http://t.co/Tn8enbBWlz

@ByronYork And managed to keep a straight face!

We guess that’s easier to do when one is a pathological liar and a malignant narcissist.
What did Obama hear? Apparently expressions of support from non-voters across the land… http://t.co/pjioBsWHJX
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
Obama explained that he had much bigger turnout when he was elected in 2008 and 2012 than GOP got in these midterms. http://t.co/x9oQgD3dvC

Obama message to GOP was unmistakable: My mandate is bigger than your mandate. http://t.co/5EHKxkS14F
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
But Obama spoke at post-defeat newser as if voters who supported him in '08 and '12 had made a sort of virtual trip to the polls in 2014…

…delivering silent but more powerful message than one sent by Americans who actually turned out… http://t.co/1sZmZiqPdi

It truly is unbelievable. But there’s more.
Maybe Obama had to read things that way. After all, he said his policies were on ballot. That makes Dem loss a repudiation, right?
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
Yep. The president apparently forgot about his own words.
Obama doesn't accept that. Instead, he appears stuck in 2012, when he won and had chance to enact second-term agenda. http://t.co/w3nFxZImcS
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
He failed. Now, having lost big in second midterms, Obama is trying to remind everyone he used to be a winner. http://t.co/il9ZusalHr
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
Pathetic.
Problem is, presidential terms last four years, but presidential mandates don't. Obama having difficulty adjusting. http://t.co/K1IrtDsQij

Stop disappointing him, guys!
Link: In defeat, Obama tells GOP: My mandate is bigger than yours. http://t.co/Ccns59Dqcg
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
But first, yet another bit of evidence pointing to Obama’s idiocy:
One more point on this Obama I-have-the-support-of-voters-who-didn't-vote thing… http://t.co/qFr6adAW7l

Compare Obama's post-defeat newser with Bush's 2006 post-defeat newser… http://t.co/Lulo7EnAcp
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
Bush 2006: 'I'm obviously disappointed with outcome of election, and as head of Republican Party, I share a large part of responsibility.'
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
Wait, what? Leadership and accountability? That’s crazy talk!
@ByronYork Night and day–what a difference between a real leader and a whiner in chief.
— AZPatriotGal (@AZPatriotGal) November 7, 2014
Yep.
More Bush 2006: 'If you look at race by race, it was close. The cumulative effect, however, was not too close. It was a thumping.'
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
Bush would have been laughed out of room if he had pointed to 2004 victory–bigger turnout–and claimed a 2006 non-voters mandate.
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
Obama didn't come anywhere near Bush-level acknowledgment of defeat. http://t.co/e279wAUxdY
— Byron York (@ByronYork) November 7, 2014
Precisely. The contrast is stunning.
