(Reuters) - President Barack Obama is fighting his last campaign mostly at staid Democratic fund-raising events in hotel ballrooms and the private homes of donors, a far cry from the huge crowds who turned out in droves during his White House runs and helped elect him twice.

This is not where Obama wanted to be in his second term. With the president's job approval near 40 percent, however, a public rally with Obama would be a liability for most Democrats in contested states where U.S. Senate control will be decided on Nov. 4 elections

But it is striking it has happened to Obama, whose "yes we can" campaign in 2008 generated enormous crowds and enthusiasm.

A week before the elections, Republicans are in a strong position to gain the six seats they need to recapture a Senate majority. Obama has sounded the alarm

True, but by most accounts he is still pulling in huge money in campaign donations. The crony capitalist one percenters are still on board the Obola Express.

I wish bathouse Obola would come to Georgia to campaign for tired old Sam Nunn’s kid and tired old communist Jimmy Carter’s grandson. I soul smile the whole time while sitting in the huge traffic jam that clown makes when he curses us with his visits. Only thus time, I know it would be a blessing in that it would help to defeat the empty suit leftist that are running on family name recognition.

Come on Obola! Come on down to Atlanta. Spread your freaking disease.

“For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.”

Apparently Obama never read this Gen Patton quote but intelligence as well as humility were never his specialty.
