Obama Just Said The Last Thing Red State Democrats Want To Hear
Business Insider ^ | 10/21/14 | Colin Campbell

Posted on 10/21/2014 5:59:40 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

resident Barack Obama offered a new talking point to Senate Republicans on Monday — just two weeks away from Election Day.

Speaking on the Rev. Al Sharpton's radio show, Obama said the Democratic candidates who have been avoiding him are actually "strong allies who have supported my agenda." Many of these candidates are in conservative-leaning states where Obama's agenda is decisively unpopular.

"And so some of the candidates there — it is difficult for them to have me in the state because the Republicans will use that to try to fan Republican turnout," Obama said, according to The Hill. "The bottom line is though, these are all folks who vote with me, they have supported my agenda in Congress, they are on the right side of minimum wage, they are on the right side of fair pay, they are on the right side of rebuilding our infrastructure, they're on the right side of early childhood education."

Neutral political observers said the quote is a gift for Republicans running in tougher-than-expected races in these more conservative states. Senate Republicans need to net six seats to regain the majority in the chamber. To accomplish that, they must pick off Democrats in states like Louisiana, Alaska, North Carolina, and Arkansas.

"Christmas came early for Republicans in tough races," the research firm Potomac Research Group declared Tuesday morning.

So, he continues un abated to make everything about him.

He is so arrogantly naive

Of course I hope it helps.. but this isn’t going to change any hearts and minds of true liberals, especially true union zombies.
Ask any of them if they are better off than they were 6 years ago and, even if they haven’t been working for 5 years, they will say ‘Hell, Yeah!’

Every aspect of this tool’s existence oozes naked politics. Has there been a president in our history who, on a daily basis, so blatantly held up a one-finger salute to more than half the country. His every breath is calibrated to inflate the Democrat balloon and repel anyone right of Chez. This twerp has lived so long in the collectivist bubble that he instinctively regards Republicans (of any stripe and on any subject) as some sort of illegitimate life form.

For six years now, Democrats across the country have always had Obama's back - but they still haven't figured out that he has NEVER had their back. It's always been all about him.

You mean “haven’t had to work in 5 years”...

“To accomplish that, they must pick off Democrats in states like Louisiana, Alaska, North Carolina, and Arkansas.”

Meanwhile, the rats are running their voter fraud machines at full speed in these states by now. They don’t spend their time campaigning and debating the issues, the rats are right now stealing all the votes and setting us up for the kill. This is the answer to the question “How could we have possibly lost that one??!” as we stand around after the election in stunned disbelief.

The same goes for Republicans, but we already knew that.
(Republicans control the House of Representatives, and through that the money — that he continues to have funds to operate is proof they approve.)

Approve and/or are so afraid of his skintone that they fear being labelled “racist” for opposing ANYTHING he wants.

Exactly! Remember how sometimes it seemed like BO wasn’t even interested in actively campaigning against Romney?? Then all of a sudden he kicked his ass across the board? The conservatives were out preaching to the choir and the rats were already stuffing the ballot boxes for weeks in advance.

(I think this is why they were so apoplectic when Gore lost the recount in Florida. It wasn’t so much that they lost, it was that they risked so much by cheating, they couldn’t believe they actually lost anyway when they thought it was in the bag.)

Remember when they took the lovely Ms M off the stage in 08' after she said:

"B***** O**** will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Bar*** will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."

They could and did whisk her off the stage and essentially shut her up. Like Clinton, Lear Deader cannot stop his nalignant marcissist tenancies so he will continue to gaff until the 1st Tuesday in November...

I'm not sure that the skin-color is as big a deal as it's made out to be, by either Liberal or conservatives, especially in this context:
We can look back to the Bush Presidency and see how even then they failed to push for their professed beliefs: government accountability, constitutionality, responsible financial policy, etc — about the only thing you can put forward that they worked for semi-recently is the Partial Birth Abortion ban which, IMO, is probably more of a feel good-law than anything else. (Heck, they won't even stand against things that piss the majority of most Americans off, like the NSA's domestic espionage.)
