Obama’s going to “help” his party recover? That’s like the wrecking ball pledging to lead the rebuild. The Democratic Party self-immolated while Obama was president and now he’s back with a fresh book of matches:

Democrats have had a net loss of more than 1,000 seats under #Obama:
?Senate: 10
?House: 63
?Governors: 12

Under Obama, the Dems lost more seats than the time American Standard’s warehouse burned to the ground, so this should be something to watch.
Fear not. Paul Ryan is riding in on his crap brown horse to save the day for the Democrats.
