Obama Tweets he's 'standing by Tom Barrett'
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel ^ | 6/4/2012 | JS Blog

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. Former President Bill Clinton rallied a Milwaukee crowd for Barrett that day.

Hopefully he’ll go down in defeat right behind him.

"standing by Tom Barrett. He'd make an outstanding governor.- bo"

In much the same sense that Zero has been an outstanding President. An outstandingly poor President, at least as judged by the standards of the last 223 years.

Barrett is an anchor tied to Obama’s leg. He’s standing by him only as long as it take for him to find some way to cut the chain.

It would be great if he utilized this this strategy in November -- stay out of the U.S. and campaign in Montreal, Bermuda, Cuba, Tijuana, Vancouver etc.

I’m impressed that the holder of the most important office in the country, and probably the world, has time to fritter on twitter. No golf today, Barry?

What courage!
What leadership!
What inestinal fortitude!

What a crock!

This is perfect proof of why President Obama should not be re-elected. He is not a leader.

When Walker wins today, every union in this country should withold contributions to Obama’s campaign over his inability to be bold on this issue.

“Obama tweets”... somehow that phrase works all by itself.

Cool. He can stand there and hold Tom’s hand while he pisses in a fuse box.

He had time to hold 6 fundraisers Friday when the terrible jobs report came out and he held 3 more Monday. When does he ever work?

In other words, the Democrat President has blown an “air kiss” at the Democrat candidate for the Wisconsin Governorship as he flew all AROUND the state on the weekend prior to this election. What dedication, what commitment on the part of the TOTUS!

Obama Tweets he's 'standing by Tom Barrett'

Unfortunately for Barrett, the place Obama will do the actual "standing" will be at least one thousand miles away - even further if possible.

But rest assured he will personally be watching through a high powered NSA spy satellite hovering 18,000 miles in the sky over Wisconsin.

But, that's just recent history.

THis sorry-ass clown is the worst leader, as judged by the standards of the last 1536 years. (since the fall of Rome)
