In a conference call today, President Barack Obama endorsed Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) in her bid to win her Senate seat, which she has held for more than a decade, against Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA).
The endorsement will most likely serve as a burden for Landrieu, rather than an asset, as a majority of Louisiana voters do not approve of Obamas agenda and the way he has handled Obamacare or the economy.
Landrieu has spent her entire re-election avoiding Obama and his policies, which she has largely supported. Exit polling in the November Senate race, showed that there are 5 issues that Louisianians care most about.
Three of those issues involve Obama and his policies directly and Landrieus support for them. Voters have an issue with the way the economy has been sluggish, even though the President has poured tons of public money in order to jump-start the economy.
Voters also take issue with Obamacare, which Landrieu infamously cast the deciding vote for. And lastly, voters have an issue with Obama, himself. A whopping 49 percent of Louisianians who voted on Nov. 4th said they strongly disapprove of Obamas handling of the country. Another 10 percent of Louisianians said they somewhat disproved.
So, what do you think? Will Obamas endorsement of Landrieu prove to be detrimental to her campaign?
Obama Endorses Mary Landrieu>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I am sure Landrieu sent the Dark Lord a completely anonymous thank you note.
"Hi voters. I managed to unglue my lips from Obama's
*** to be here. That's why my mouth looks so funny."
Were they worried she would lose the black vote? This makes no sense because it will cost her 2 white votes for every extra black vote.
I had a similar experience in Germany, only the doctor’s staff didn’t want the socialist losers in the waiting room see my wife and I come in and go out while thay waited. Cash is still King...and anyone who cannot fathom that is going to have a hard life. It is sad...but I laugh at them because anytime you try to explain Econ 101 to them they call you a fascist or some such!
the very thing that crossed my mind
the kiss of death
perhaps he can publicly tell her to ‘Stay The Course’??
The King Obama Touch - unlike the King Midas touch - turns everything or everyone he touches to lead or crap
Oink, Oink....
LOL!
