Maybe reverse psychology — make Obama look like the underdog and that could get him the sympathy vote.

The sympathy vote is long gone. There is ZERO sympathy with $4 gas and $5 trillion added to the debt. Not to mention Obamacare, etc.

That doesn't keep the MSM/Dems from trying to provide cover for The One and his Second Coming:

Saturday on Meet the Press, David Gregory tried to provide pre-emptive cover for Obama with this editorialized comment to Rep. Cantor regarding gas prices:

MR. GREGORY: And part of that, of course, I wonder as a, as a leader in the Congress, if you would counsel Republicans running for president not to use gas prices as a political club against the president when it really is a failure of leadership, is it not, on the part of Republicans and Democrats going back decades here, to fail to achieve energy independence and then be subject to the winds of--whims, rather, of instability in the Middle East that makes gas prices go up and down.

“There is ZERO sympathy with $4 gas”

Dems are well aware of this, which is why Obama will not hesitate to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to serve his own evil political ends. By the same token, he’ll keep spending the country into oblivion to buy more votes. I personally don’t give a rat’s behind at this point who beats Obama; just get the tyrant out of office before he destroys what’s left of this country.
