Democratic Candidates Finding Obama Endorsement Kiss Of Death Posted on May 30, 2010 by Scott Schaefer

Obama endorsements sunk two more Democratic candidates this month as his political capital is waning – as is his popularity – in the face of widespread voter rebellion.

Senator Benedict Arlen Specter became the fourth Democrat in seven months to lose a high-profile election despite active involvement in the campaign by Obama. The Associated Press, in their infinite wisdom, said that this is "raising doubts about Obama’s ability to help fellow Democrats in this November’s elections." You think?

The first three all fell to Republicans. Specter’s loss Tuesday to Representative Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania’s Democratic senatorial primary proves, unequivocally, that Obama’s influence and popularity – even within his own party – is sinking fast. And he’s taking alot of Democratic candidates with him.

There remains an outside possibility that Democrats will fare better than expected at the polls in November. I say this simply to appear as if I’m considering all possibilities. In reality, the November mid-term elections are going to be a horrible blood bath for Democrats.

Obama’s waning popularity and abysmal record will almost certainly hurt his legislative agenda, as well as Democratic lawmakers who are seeking re-election are beginning to put distance between themselves and the White House and this phenomenon will continue increasing. The only thing they’re doing faster than moving away from Obama is moving to get out of the way of the Tea Party.

"We’re licking our chops at running against President Obama," said Rand Paul, the victorious Tea Party candidate in Kentucky’s Republican Senatorial primary. Paul, along with scores of conservative candidates are praying that Obama campaigns for their opponents. This, it seems, would insure Democratic losses.

As Obama interjects himself into these Congressional elections he is hurting the candidates he supports by motivating his foes, such as Tea Party supporters. Barack Obama is creating a party of Political Cannibals, as I expressed in a recent article.

Especially embarrassing for Obama was Joe Sestak’s victory in Pennsylvania over Specter, because Sestak won by portraying himself as being more faithful to the Democratic Party than were Specter and Obama. This is good stuff.

In the Arkansas Democratic primary, incumbent Democrat Blanche Lincoln, who is seeking re-election for what will be her third term in the Senate, failed to capture enough of the vote to avoid a run-off, despite – or maybe because of – Obama’s support.

The Dear Leader is batting a thousand with his endorsements. He supported John Corzine in New Jersey, Creigh Deeds in Virginia and, of course, Martha Coakley in Massachusetts. The Democrats lost every race.

Hurry up, Mr. President, Democratic candidates across the nation desperately need your help. Now get out there and campaign for all of them. Please.

I read an article the other day that commented the most political used phrase, for the last few years, when you hear a political conversation going on is "I voted for Bush-but don't hold that against me"....

Gee Oldtimer read an article after 8 years of Bush, but after not even two years there is a website named "I'm sorry I voted for Obama" Where Obama supporters can go to lament their mistake. Their are billboards asking, if you miss Bush yet and where Obama's Birth certificate is. Since Oldtimer likes late night comics so much let's see what they have to say about Obama

"A year into Obama's first term in office, unemployment is higher, the national debt is higher and there are more soldiers serving in Afghanistan. When asked about it, Obama was like, "Well, technically that is change." - Jimmy Fallon
But was it the change he promised? :?

"You know, it's hard to believe President Obama has now been in office for a year. Isn't that amazing? It's a year. And you know, it's incredible. He took something that was in terrible, terrible shape, and he brought it back from the brink of disaster: The Republican party." -Jay Leno
Somehow I don't think the Dems thought this was funny :wink:

"Well, the wait is over. The Obamas have chosen a new White House dog. It is a Portuguese water dog named Bo. Very cute dog. Their first choice was a wheaten terrier, but it was arrested for tax evasion." --Jimmy Fallon
even the dog was a tax cheat :lol:

"So they gave the Queen an iPod. I remember when British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was here, the Obamas gave him a DVD box set. So, it looks like they're saving the big gift, the Nintendo, for the Pope." --Jay Leno
Be proud these cheap gifts represent what the President of the US thinks of the US's strongest allies :roll:

"Well, President Obama said today he’s going to use the gulf disaster to immediately push a new energy bill through Congress. I got an idea. How about first using the gulf disaster to fix the gulf disaster?" —Jay Leno
great Idea but this Administration never likes to waste a disaster :x

"Now, I know Obama was trying to take the long view, but talking about solar energy in the middle of the oil spill is like watching your house engulfed in flames and saying, 'We really should change the curtains.'" —Craig Ferguson
Never waste a opportunity to promote your agenda :roll:
