Obama to help embattled Democrats....by not visiting their districts




Obama to help embattled Democrats....by not visiting their districts

Obama knows his track record on helping Democrats get elected is scaring Democrats. So, to ease their tensions, Obama told Democrats he would stay away. Oh how the mighty hope and change pusher has fallen.

The New York Times reports:

As lunch was served in the Roosevelt Room of the White House one day last week, President Obama assured the nine Democratic members of Congress sitting around the table that he would do anything he could to help them survive their fall elections.

Even, he said, if it meant staying away.

"You may not even want me to come to your district," Mr. Obama said, according to guests, nearly all of whom hold seats that Republicans are aggressively seeking.

Three months before the midterm elections, the president is stepping up his involvement in the fight to preserve the Democratic Party's control of Congress. But advisers said he would concentrate largely on delivering a message, raising money and motivating voters from afar, rather than on racing from district to district.

It is a vivid shift from the last two elections, when Mr. Obama was the hottest draw for Democratic candidates in red and blue states alike. And it highlights the tough choices Democrats face as they head toward Election Day with the president's approval ratings depressed, Republicans energized, the economic slump still lingering and two veteran House Democrats now facing public hearings on ethics charges.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Obama is like the plague and his policies, that these Democrats help ram down America's throat, are coming back to haunt them.
