I’m guessing that Democrat Judge who went to the apartment for a photo op stunt is at pucker factor 1000 right now
He deserves to sweat it out, showboating this for personal gain.
July 13, 2014 - At some political risk, Dallas County judge sticks by Obama
".....The relationship between [Judge] Jenkins and Obama dates to before either was in his current office. In June 2007, Jenkins donated $1,000 to Obama’s first presidential campaign, according to federal election records. Back then, Jenkins was a practicing lawyer.

A mutual friend, former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, asked Jenkins to do some pro bono legal work for the Obama campaign, and Jenkins agreed.

Three years later, Jenkins was in his first term as the top elected official in Dallas County and decided that he needed the White House’s help.

Democrats have said the law is likely to discourage voting among several groups that tend to vote Democratic. Jenkins also became one of the leading local advocates for the Affordable Care Act. He and other county employees spread the word about health insurance exchanges and helped residents fill out applications. Meanwhile, he pushed for state legislators to accept funds to expand Medicaid.
His efforts earned him praise from the president. In a November 2013 speech in Dallas, Obama called Jenkins an “outstanding county judge ... who’s doing a great job on affordable care.” The quote is prominently displayed on Jenkins’ campaign website..........
.......Last week, Obama included Jenkins among the elected officials and religious leaders with whom he met in Dallas to discuss border issues. In photographs of the meeting, Jenkins was seated in a prime position — at the middle of the table, right across from Obama....." Post 39
