Democrats running for office avoid mention of Obama as though his low ratings were contagious....
Remember this:
1." In 2009, an Icarus-like Barack Obama with artificially high approval ratings demanded fealty from Congressional Democrats toward his ultra-partisan agenda.
2. ..., the Obama White House breezily dismissed centrist Democrats’ trepidation and pleas for greater moderation.
3. .... the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s Jane Fullerton famously reported how Obama arrogantly assured vulnerable Democrats that his personal popularity would sustain them.
4. According to now-retired Congressman Marion Berry (D – Arkansas), Obama told them that the difference between 1994 and 2010 would be, “You’ve got me”:
5. “Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs ‘off into that swamp’ of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home. ‘I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,’ Berry said. ‘They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The President himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, “Well, the big difference here and in ’94 is you’ve got me.”
[Imagine Clinton when he heard that.]
6. We’re going to see how much difference that makes now. .... ‘I just began to have flashbacks to 1993 and ’94... It certainly wasn’t a good feeling.’”
7. Today, four years later, a similar round of electoral carnage appears likely, and Obama’s brand is so tarnished that Democrats facing reelection won’t even appear with him in public.
8. ....just this week, Obama went to the trouble of flying out to Colorado to raise money for Democratic Senator Mark Udall and attend a Udall campaign event. But who conspicuously opted not to appear beside Obama....The same thing occurred recently in North Carolina,....
9. A new Quinnipiac poll this month shows that American voters consider Obama the worst president since World War II:
“President Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II, 33 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Another 28 percent pick George W. Bush. Ronald Reagan is the best president since World War II, 33 percent of voters say, with 18 percent for Bill Clinton, 15 percent for John F. Kennedy and 8 percent for Obama, the independent Quinnipiac University poll finds.”
10. .... such conflagrating scandals as our hemorrhaging southern border and the IRS coverup."
Obama in 2009 You ve Got Me. Democrats Today Barack Obama Never Heard of Him.
Lots of folks....hopin' for change.....
