Became sad when I was reminded of the 57 seats lost in the midterms. He honestly didn't think he would lose. P. Obama thought the American pol would support him and the health care act. After all it was a legislation that was going to benefit the public.

He was crushed. He asked those congressmen ( especially the ones from the red states) to take a " hard look" and vote for the ppl, they did, and lost. This obviously affected him in some way.
