In a conference call today, President Barack Obama endorsed Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) in her bid to win her Senate seat, which she has held for more than a decade, against Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA).
The endorsement will most likely serve as a burden for Landrieu, rather than an asset, as a majority of Louisiana voters do not approve of Obama’s agenda and the way he has handled Obamacare or the economy.
Landrieu has spent her entire re-election avoiding Obama and his policies, which she has largely supported. Exit polling in the November Senate race, showed that there are 5 issues that Louisianians care most about.
Three of those issues involve Obama and his policies directly and Landrieu’s support for them. Voters have an issue with the way the economy has been sluggish, even though the President has poured tons of public money in order to jump-start the economy.
Voters also take issue with Obamacare, which Landrieu infamously cast the deciding vote for. And lastly, voters have an issue with Obama, himself. A whopping 49 percent of Louisianians who voted on Nov. 4th said they “strongly disapprove” of Obama’s handling of the country. Another 10 percent of Louisianians said they “somewhat” disproved.
So, what do you think? Will Obama’s endorsement of Landrieu prove to be detrimental to her campaign?
Kiss Of Death for Mary Loser.
She didn’t need this endorsement.
Obama is unpopular in LA and this only reminds people how much she’s tied to him.
Stick a fork in her; she’s toast.
Wow, stabbed her in the back on Keystone and now this.
Mary is history ................under the bus.
What’s obama doing, I thought he liked landrieu, she always did what he wanted.
She figured the bribe was worth the risk.
She figured wrong.
Sooooo,, Obama is a carnivorous meat eating team oriented piece of manufactured Leftism is he?
So that would make the Badgers a big fave against the Buckeyes?
Or doesn’t Obama do college football?
The more I see pictures of here, the more she really does look like Miss Piggy. It’s that nose. Good bye Miss Piggy, good bye....
Like having Typhoid Mary cook you Thanksgiving dinner
ROFL! Mary has to be ticked.
LSU Tigers come to mind, re: earlier post,,cutest dang cheer leaders too.
Well, it worked for Wendy Davis.

Have the Clintons hit Louisiana yet?
Their record on the campaign trail this season was near 100% failure.
Rumor has it Chelsea is begging mom and dad to stay home when she starts running for office.
That’s five days ago, the turkey must be pretty bad by now.. Not to mention the pie.
Here’s hoping the Saints have a resurrection and soon.
