    Obama: I Doubted Trump's Presidential Success Because I Live In A Bubble

    From Townhall
    On Sunday, President Obama admitted to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that he
    didn’t think President-elect Donald Trump would win, citing “the bubble” as the reason for
    his initial doubts (via Mediaite):

    President Barack Obama admitted in an interview with ABC News’ This Week that he
    didn’t see Donald Trump‘s victory coming because he was living in “the bubble” of the
    presidency.

    The second thing is the bubble is the bubble,” he continued. “I think we’ve done a
    pretty good job staying in touch with the American people. But at a certain point, you can’t
    help but lose some feel for what’s on the ground because you’re not on the ground.”

    Prunie Ed: Thinking he stayed in touch with the American people is just wrong. If he
    had stayed in touch we wouldn't have to repeal the ACA. The American people didn't
    want it, don't want it nor will we ever want it.

    He's actually planning to stay in DC(hopefully you don't get the pay wall, first paragraph gives the gist of it though, and I think the WSJ is reliable enough).

    You live in a bubble. The ACA is fine for 30 million people, and just try to take it away to score political points.

    He's building a "brick bubble" far from his adopted home town, Chicago.

    If it is fine for 30 million people, why do the dems claim that its repeal will affect 20 million? I know that they can't keep their lies straight but this should be a no brainer even for them.

    I'm not an Obama hater. Bubbles floating up and away was my first thought on the subject.
