What he meant is that conservatives were just as appalled 8 years ago, as liberals are right now. The difference is, as usual, we didn't riot.

Obama said "Republicans gotta stop just hating all the time" - yes, all of us, never stop hating for one second
He used the IRS as a club against those who disagreed with him. He told Christian employers that they had to abandon their religious beliefs, in direct violation of the First Amendment. He nominated a racist lunatic to the Supreme Court, Sonya Sotomayor, who said a female Latina judge, because of her experience as a female and as a Latina, would make a superior judge to a white male (making her racist and sexist, by her own words).
We didn't riot, we didn't walk out of schools en masse. We walked off, licked our wounds, learned some lessons, and came roaring, roaring back.
Obama's election, as it turns out, might have been the best thing that ever happened to the GOP. He over-reached, big time, and his party is in tatters, thanks to him, annihilated at the national and state levels.
And in 2018, if you look at the Senate seats up for re-election, TEN are democrats in states that Trump won. IF he delivers (that's a big if), 2018 midterms could also be a windfall for the GOP.
