Even in Liberal Northern Virginia, Dems Flee Obama

With Barack Obama's job approval well below water these days, perhaps it's no surprise that Democratic candidates for Congress this year aren't jumping at the chance to have the president come campaign for them. Dave Weigel at Slate points out how remarkable it was last week when Democratic senator Mark Udall of Colorado declined to appear with Obama, despite the fact that the president won Colorado twice.

"Members of the White House political team will grit their teeth and ask low-level campaign staffers if, you know, it would be OK for the commander-in-chief to show up," Weigel writes. "They will be told to call back in a few days. Often, they will be told, 'No thanks, but send money.'"

Very misleading title. The Dems around me might be fleeing Obama, but they’re sure not contemplating voting for Republicans. Comstock has a chance of losing this once solid Republican seat because of redistricting.

Thus far polls and approval ratings have done absolutely nothing to stem the decline of our culture and economy, not to mention our standing in the world.

Maybe because all the alphabet agencies are loaded with ultra-liberal, anti-American Marxists. And so is the majority of the media. No longer a need for a ‘leader’ to drive us into the ditch.

Yeah, but it doesn’t matter how unpopular Obama is if the next president is going to be Hillary. 4-8 more years of the same socialist crap.

Don't be fooled, the only reason they're angry at Obama is the Rich aren't in prison
and the economy has not crashed yet, and Americans still have their 2nd Amendment.

The Communists in our country are drooling and time is running out. If Obama
got on TV and announced he was suspending the Constitution and telling the GOP
to report to the nearest precinct for extermination his approval rating would skyrocket.

its a wonderful day in the neighborhood....D.C. that is.

The public can smell the democracks FEAR of being associated with Obie..and that smell is wafting from Sea to Shining Sea.

Im hoping Obie will do something REALLY stupid like complaining that his fellow commie progressive dont like him...
