I was sunk by Obama: Weprin

Democrat David Weprin said yesterday that President Obama’s sagging popularity among Queens and Brooklyn voters cost him the election for ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner’s congressional seat.

In a stunning upset, Weprin was trounced by Republican Bob Turner, whose campaign had tied him to the president.

“The message of the campaign was ‘Send Obama a message,’ ” said Weprin, a Queens state assemblyman. “I think the problem was that he’s the president and people are frustrated, and it’s just natural to take it out on the top guy -- or the top guy’s party.

“As much as I tried to make it about David Weprin or Bob Turner, I don’t think that resonated to voters. I think that voters looked at it as a referendum on the president,’’ Weprin said.

Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 1 in the district.

During one press conference, Weprin refused to say whether he backed Obama’s re-election. In fact, he did not mention the president in his literature, nor did he seek Obama’s endorsement.

I once wanted Obozo to return home and get a hut next to his brother, but now he is pure entertainment for the suffering.

When Dinkins was up for his second term, I was convinced he was going to win - despite all the mess created during his first term. Absolutely convinced! Wrong yet again.

"Weprin’s whole party is infested with communists, liars, tax cheats, bribe-takers, etc. We’re sick of all of them!" Not really. It is them, and nothing else.

Not to me. If they weren’t the party of communists, liars, tax cheats, etc, then they’d just be people with a different outlook on governing a Constitutional Republic. Kinda like Methodists vs Lutherans or Ford vs Chevy or 9mm vs 45ACP. But since they are communists first and always, the distinction is moot because they force the argument to be Methodists vs Communists, Ford vs Communists, 45ACP vs Communists (my favorite argument ever!!). Everything they do is for Communism. All of their goals are designed to further the spread of Communism to the US.

And as the GOP falls under the Progressive spell, it will become the enemy of Free Americans too.

Weprin needs to get with the Party line: it’s the Joos (see remarks by Waxman, Schumer - Jews are greedy, stupid, “too darn Jewish,” etc.). The New York Times blames Netanyahu (if Netanyahu hadn’t given Obama such a hard time, then the Joos would have liked Obama more and would have voted for Weprin). Whatever.
