While President Barack Obama sat out taking a vocal role in Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett's quest to oust Gov. Scott Walker in Tuesday's recall election, he did take the time to issue an election-eve Tweet in which he proclaimed to be "standing by Tom Barrett. He'd make an outstanding governor.- bo" Though Obama traveled as close to Wisconsin as Minneapolis on Friday, he didn't make any personal visits for Barrett.

The media’s Stasi stenographers keep posting polls telling us how popular and personally liked The One is - something like a 58% approval rating.

Rush made a good point yesterday saying that if he is so popular and beloved why isn’t he going to Wisconsin to campaign for Barrett? Wish our pubbie mouthpieces would counter their interrogators with that comeback.

I don’t know who is the greater coward. Barry for staying out or Barrett for not wanting him in ?

“Going down together. {Obama-Barrett] How poetic.”

Well, Barry Soetoro-Obama says he's our first gay POTUS, so it figures.
