Obama Introduced as 'Real President of the United States'.
The president of the United States is not really Donald Trump, Democratic National Committee
Chairman Tom Perez signaled, to California Democrats gathered for a fundraiser last week.
"Let's give it up for the real president of the United States," Perez said Thursday
as he introduced former President Barack Obama, according to Independent Journalism Review.
The $2,700-per-plate event in Los Angeles was designed to raise money for the DNC.
Not everyone agreed with Perez that Obama was still the "real president."
During the event, Obama suggested there may have been something he did not do right during
his two terms in office.
"I'll be honest with you, if I have a regret during my presidency, it is that people
were so focused on me and the battles we were having, particularly after we lost the House,
that folks stopped paying attention up and down the ballot," he said.
He also said that during a pre-inauguration meeting with Trump, he told Trump, who had
campaigned on ending Obamacare, to rename it.
"I said to the incoming president, Just change the name and claim that you made these
wonderful changes and I would be like, You go.
Because I didn't have pride of authorship, I just wanted people to have health care,"
he said, according to CNN.
Obama then said Trump failed in his efforts despite controlling, all branches of government
in Washington.
"They couldn't do it because we had actually thought it through and it's a hard thing
to do," he said.
Obama said Americans prefer his brand of unity.
"All these people that are out here kvetching and wringing their hands and stressed, and
anxious and constantly watching cable TV and howling at the moon, What are we going to
do?, their hair's falling out, they can't sleep," Obama said.
"The majority of the American people prefer a story of hope.
A majority of the American people prefer a country, that comes together rather than being
divided.
The majority of the country doesn't want to see a dog-eat-dog world, where everybody
is angry all the time," he said, according to Politico.
He said that Republicans fit the mold of the party of anger.
"They're mad even when they win.
Have you noticed that?" he said, according to the Los Angeles Times.
