“… and when that doesn’t work, they start makin’ up stuff, like the one about how they didn’t lose the last election,” President Barack Obama said during a New Jersey rally. “Let me tell you something. I have been blessed in my political career, but I lost an election. I lost a congressional election back in Chicago. I didn’t know I could just like after I got beat, I could just get up and say, no, I didn’t get beat. No no no, the machines were broken. What?!? No.
“You know what I did, was I said, let me think about how I can be better so that I can win the next time. That’s what I did.”
