Congressmen Jason Altmire and Tim Murphy have previous engagements. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. and Rep. Mike Doyle are out of town on anniversary trips with their wives. Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato will be campaigning in Philadelphia.

When President Obama and Sen. Arlen Specter land at Pittsburgh International Airport today, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl will receive them by himself.

The rest of the region's top elected officials declined White House invitations to attend Obama's speech at Carnegie Mellon University this afternoon, their offices said.

"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

So it’s just Barry and Arlen. How nice! They deserve each other - a lame duck and a quack!

Maybe they could dig up Murtha for effect.

Tim Murphy is a Republican, and I believe every other Democrat name on that NO-OBAMA list is pro-life, or at least pretends to be (as we saw on Health Care). Onorato is probably the biggest copout by saying he “opposes abortion but won’t change the laws.”

That being said, it’s obvious these Dems, who pretend to be conservative to get elected, don’t want to be seen with this left-wing idiot.

This is almost as bad as a woman turning down a date by saying she has to wash her hair.

Poor Barry. None of the cool kids want to be seen with him. Maybe they’re afraid to be struck by lightning.

(Heh-heh.)

Seems odd that both Casey and Doyle are on “anniversary trips.”

Obozo will start to cry soon. On the campaign trail he claimed he shared his toys in kindergarten. Oddly enough he is extremely hurt that no one wants to come out a play with him anymore. he is a piece of dung.

Call me harsh but you’re doing dung a disservice by comparing the two.
