White House senior adviser David Axelrod said the 2010 elections would almost certainly revolve around Mr. Obama's agenda. He added the president will have an easier time using his popularity to win votes for Democrats if the candidates help the president with his legislative agenda.

After such a successful job on VA and NJ (where you stated Corzine was CRITICAL to your agenda) I saw bring it, pu$$boy and the Tea Parties will be right there waiting for you...

"I said, 'First thing you have to realize is, I don't own the dogs."'

Mr. Axelrod said the White House wouldn't make its decision on immigration based on political considerations.

He's lying again.

"For I tell you, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes unto Me, except Rahm Emmanuel calls him."

"I tell you, that unless you become as little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Hussein."

Children singing to Obama

Have YOU accepted Barack H. Obama as your personal savior? (mmm, mmm, mmm)

Cheers!
