The Democrats’ Sore Loser Syndrome

Has it ever been noted by the Republic’s historians — all of whom are Democrats save for a lone Republican who remains undercover somewhere in the Middle West — that one characteristic that distinguishes Democrats from Republicans is not very flattering to the Party of the Jackass. It is that, with the exception of my good friend Bill Clinton, modern-day Democratic presidential candidates have been sore losers. The only exception to this rule is that of Barack Obama. He, it turns out, is a sore winner.

He won the presidency twice, and that ought to be enough for anyone. Now he can make millions of dollars on the lecture circuit, play golf to his heart’s content, and smoke cigarettes behind Michelle’s back. But since leaving the White House he has been grumping and grousing and acting as a pain in the neck to the army of professional writers whom he has employed to write his books, his speeches, and his letters to the editor. Truth be known, he is not a very good writer, though I can understand his bad mood. Did you read the economic news Friday? Donald Trump is stepping all over Barack’ s record on the economy. All of his guff about a 2 percent growth rate being the new normal is nonsense. Donald’s economy is on its way to new records every quarter.
