Andrea Mitchell: 'President Obama Was a Drag'

Democrats may be wishing President Obama sat this one out. With Republicans poised to take control of the Senate and making gains in the House of Representatives, it seems that Obama's charisma cache may have run out, NBC's Andrea Mitchell pointed out to Brian Williams on Tuesday.

"First of all, what (Tuesday night's early results) tells us about this campaign, this election, is that President Obama was a drag," said Mitchell. "Look at Kentucky ... Two-thirds of the voters in Kentucky, had a negative view, did not like President Obama. That was an enormous headwind for Alison Grimes. You wondered why she was refusing to say whether she voted for president Obama. That’s why!"

In exit polls on Tuesday, 44 percent of voters said they approve of President Barack Obama, but 54 percent disapprove. And despite 79 percent of voters saying they disapprove of the job Congress is doing, Obama appeared to be the lighting rod at the polls.

“The new, deeply conservative state of ILLINOIS...?!?!?!”

Oh, man...that is just a GEM..!

That’s just a salty dagger, twisted right in their chest.

Man, oh, man...

[Tenacious 1]

I’m going to start “Turn Illinois Red” grass roots effort. I’m going to start in Chicago. Who’s with me?

ROFLMAO!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Losing IL and MD has got to be grating on Obola.

A “charisma cache” — he HATES people, is a miserable person, is ungracious when winning, and is a sourpuss. What a joke.

NBC couldn't handle it. They cut away at 11pm Eastern for local news and never came back--just went to a taped program of the usual late night talk show guy, while several key senate races were still in doubt.

Barry’s probably at home with the coke spoon tonight! His pro-ebola, pro-marxist, anti-middle class agenda is not working out for him.

Question. With all the Republican governor pickups, do we have enough for a convention?

[Henry Hnyellar]

Me: Andrea Mitchell is a Hag.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Thanks to all my FRiends who voted today. Americans have taken the first step towards saving our country.

LOL, speaking of hags; anyone watching MSNBC? Fun to watch the had wringing, but man Al Sharpton looks scary! he needs to gain some weight. That dude looks like a bobble head. Skinny body big head....

Well, yeah, Andrea, 0bama is a drag, a bummer, a bad trip and a total burn.
0bama is like looking in your rear view mirror and seeing a po-leece car.

I brought this thought up when it was beginning to look like a very good night:

Perhaps there's an unspoken Ferguson effect. People are fed up with crazies running amuck.

[JimSEA]

Andrea, that’s how it’s supposed to work. Let’s open things up and after Harry Reid, that’s going to reveal a lot.

[relictele]

Can’t slip anything past ol’ Andrea!

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Drag queen?

[exit82]

Andrea, why am I reminded of the song by the Buckinghams “Kind of a Drag”?
