Exclusive: Obama Says Democrats Endangered if Election Is Referendum on Economy

September 08, 2010 6:45 PM

If the midterm elections become a referendum on the economy then Democrats risk losing majority control of Congress, President Obama told me this afternoon.

"If the election is a referendum on are people satisfied about the economy as it currently is, then we're not going to do well," he said.

92% of Americans say the economy is not doing well, according our latest poll. Today the president acknowledged the growing frustration with slow recovery.

“I think everybody feels like this economy needs to do better than it's been doing,” Obama told me.

So does the president think Democrats can win in November?

He wants to hang this current economy on President Bush. But Obama has gotten every legislative piece he asked for, and he promised that his programs would “fix the mess.” They have only made things worse. So yeah Barry... it is a referendum on the economy. Almost all elections are.

Seems more like a referendum on Barry and friends handling of the economy. He is speaking as if he had no influence over the economy. Maybe he’s thinking of taking another four month vacation.

Anybody up for going out for some ice cream? Don’t forget to bring your “papers”. It’s not just the economy, Stupid! I just read where the head Black Pantieer is now “probing” Arizona because we “discriminate” against “teachers” who can’t speak English. This regime has got to go!

The economy was fine until Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid took over Congress.

If Zed *cared* about the legislature, I'd be worried about a needless military adventure. But I'm of the opinion he WANTS to lose congress, so he can blame and run against a "do nothing" GOP house/senate.

He's seized the auto industry, nationalized mortgage finance, set up health care rationing...his work is DONE...he doesn't need congress any more.

Not just the economy. National security is a losing issue for the Democrats in every election.
