Barry doesn't seem to understand that he lost

President Shit for Brains held a press conference today, apparently to discuss the election results, and proceeded to ignore the election results:

For anyone expecting postelection contrition at the White House or vows to change course after a disastrous election for Democrats, President Barack Obama had one message Wednesday: Think again.
A day after Democrats lost control of the Senate and suffered big losses in House and governors' races across the country, Obama struck a defiant tone. He defended his policies, stood by his staff and showed few signs of changing an approach to dealing with congressional Republicans that has generated little more than gridlock in recent years.
Rather than accept the election results as a repudiation of his own administration, the president said voters were disenchanted with Washington as a whole. And rather than offering dour assessments of his party's electoral thrashing, as he did after the 2010 midterms, the president insisted repeatedly that he was optimistic about the country's future.

The president, who never has attempted to actually compromise, once again indicated that he will be happy to work with Republicans so long as they want to do things his way.

Indeed, Obama spoke only broadly about the need to reassess as he heads into his final two years in office. He said it was "premature" to discuss overhauling his staff or shifting positions on policies. He reasserted his pledge to move forward with executive actions on immigration before the end of the year, despite strong opposition from Republicans. And he rejected the notion that his limited relationships with Republican lawmakers, including the likely Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., would hamper potential compromise with the Congress.

The American people clearly rejected Obama's policies. He seems to think people just want government to "get the job done," but he seems to think that means doing what he wants. It doesn't, and as Ann Althouse points out, "What job? Nothing is preferable to the wrong thing. Who believes that we want government to do something, anything?" Barry tried really hard to make this election about him, and when it was, and he was rejected, he now pretends the election was not about him:

Before the election, Obama said his policies were on the ballot. Which policies? And why won't he acknowledge that those policies were rejected? Because he was bullshitting when he said the polities were on the ballot? If his people had won, he'd have claimed we endorsed those policies, that he had a mandate. So when the reverse happens, how can he evade the reverse meaning?

Barry believes that compromise means doing what he wants. Everyone knows what he wants, and the voters just rejected it. Every single Democrat incumbent senator who lost last night voted for Barry's amnesty legislation in the Senate. People don't want it. And nearly half of the Democrat senators who voted to pass Obamacare despite popular opposition are now out of office. More than half of those have been forced from office, via direct vote or premature retirement, because of their Obamacare votes. Barry's policies have clearly been rejected. Weird how President Denial doesn't get that.
