Editor's Note: ABC News published an astonishing admission today, revealing that President Barack Obama has not attended a single public campaign event for a Democratic candidate as the party heads into a white-hot election season.
Just three weeks to go until the midterm elections and with control of the Senate hanging in the balance, candidates are scrambling toward the finish line.
One key figure, however, has been largely absent: President Obama.
President Obama has appeared at zero public campaign events this cycle, opting instead to tap into his fundraising prowess to boost Democratic candidates behind closed-doors.
Obamas absence on the trail underscores how the president has become a political liability for many candidates. With his approval rating down in the dumps, a personal visit from Obama would likely hurt rather than help his partys cause in the hotly contested states.
Obama is expected to step-up his public presence on the campaign trail in these final weeks, but likely only in deep blue states. He will attend his first public campaign rally for a candidate this Wednesday when he stumps for Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy.

They actually admitted it; are pigs flying? Has Hell frozen over?
Public presence is a euphemism for attendance of a tightly developed gathering of carefully checked partizens.
The Messiah dare not appear in public because he fears for his very life.
This has got to really hurt Obola. Campaigning is what he is best at.
The article specified "public campaign events". The public isn't welcome at Obola's fundraisers because they don't have enough money to qualify, and that's especially true of minorities.
The only way minorites get into Obola's fundraisers is to work in the kitchen or to serve food and drinks to their massas.
But he HAS attended over 56 fundraisers this year for the GOTV effort. They are deliberately misleading.
Yes, definitely.
Why invite the turd to the punch bowl.
