At President Obama’s press conference today following the resounding defeat of Democrats at the polls yesterday, Obama didn’t blame himself for the drubbing, but rather blamed voters.
CNN Senior White House Correspondent Jim Acosta didn’t pull any punches in reminding Obama about the sentiment on the campaign trail of many Democrats this year:
"..It is a fact that your party rejected you.." – Jim Acosta

Obama laughed a little, but it’s largely true (if you don’t count the open arms welcoming Obama to high dollar fundraisers).
LMAO Acosta at CNN says there is no doubt his party just rejected him. That one left a mark!

Wow! Jim Acosta! Your party rejected you on campaign trail…how do you feel that you are a lame duck?

Jim Acosta: Your party rejected you in these midterms.
BURN.

Jim Acosta…wow. That was beast. Flat out saying "You're party rejected you".

Minor point of order:
Heck yeah Jim @Acosta so glad you just went there. That said, it wasn't just the President's Party that rejected him, the whole nation did!
