Obama Says Boxer Could Lose If Dems Don't Work

LOS ANGELES (AP) - President Barack Obama delivered Democrat-friendly California a stark message Monday: Liberal Sen. Barbara Boxer might lose her re-election race if her supporters don't work hard.

The president's stern words in a state where he remains popular and Boxer won her last re-election race in a rout underscored the perilous political environment confronting all Democrats in this midterm election year—and showed Obama is all too aware of the dangers.

"I don't want anyone here taking this for granted," he said at a reception at the California Science Center, the first of a trio of fundraisers Monday night for Boxer and the Democratic National Committee.

"Unless she's got that support she might not win this thing, and I don't think that's an acceptable outcome. So I want everyone to work hard," the president said.

All incumbents face an uphill battle because of the economy, Obama said, though he insisted it's turning around.

At the second event Obama faced a handful of hecklers demanding to know what he was going to do to get rid of the "don't ask don't tell" policy that prevents gays from serving openly in the military. The heckling grew so insistent that Obama responded, saying that he and Boxer supported overturning the policy.

"So I don't know why you're hollering," Obama said, telling them to yell at people who oppose lifting the ban.

What happened to pass the health care bill and not worry about the election message of a few weeks ago?

Ergo, Boxer will lose, because when do Dems ever work? Did you ever see an employee at DMV working?

The signs portend good tidings if we find ZERO ‘having to personally defend’ one of the most liberal politicians, in one of the most liberal states.

Boxer is going to lose.
Support is weak and it will grow weaker.

The mere mention of Babs Boxer’s name elicits profanity from everyone I talk to. Let’s say, she’s despised just as her Kapo twin Feinstein!! CA is in the toilet bowl thanks to their God Hussein Obama and his Liberal cohorts in the California Assembly.

Translation: "I just don't understand, why dont you love me anymore???"

Well she says she’s worked hard to earn the title of Senator. I’m sure all the “little people” really aren’t needed.
