Oh Victimhood culture isnt from Obama. Its been a tactic of the Left for a long time. (It was based on some truths a couple decades ago, but now it isnt). One of the basic liberal ideas is that you are suffering, somehow, in a way that is the governments fault and not yours. The basic communist way is the poor are suffering, and the government should fix that. To be honest in most countries it is much more true. If real liberals could go to some sort of third world country and fix it, that would be cool. Its already gone a lot too far in Western Europe.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying all liberal politicians victimize, or that is all the left is about, but there is definitely that tendency on that side.
