Unpopular President Threatens Not To Show Up For Campaigns

J.J. Jackson | March 16, 2010 

There are a lot of stupid things our elected officials do but day in and day out to this point President Obama is topping them all. His latest stupid thing? Actually threatening not to show up to stump for Democrats that decided to vote no on his precious socialized medicine plans. No joke, the unpopular President who has been dragging candidates down into the depths of oblivion with him all over the East Coast when he decides to show up and “help” out their campaigns is actually making this very real threat.

The president will refuse to make fund-raising visits during November elections to any district whose representative has not backed the bill.

A one-night presidential appearance can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds which would otherwise take months to accumulate through cold-calling by campaign volunteers.

Mr Obama’s threat came as the year-long debate over his signature domestic policy entered its final week.

Mr Obama is personally telephoning congressmen who are still on the fence this week, in between several personal appearances devoted toward swinging public opinion.

Gee, if I were a Democrat interested in getting reelected this is a great opportunity to help increase the chances of just such a reality by keeping the toxic President Obama as far away from my campaign as possible with a simple no vote on a bad and wildly unconstitutional bill. Sure his appearance might rake in the dough for the campaign but if you are going to lose anyway what difference does it make? So you can be a loser with millions left in your account? Hardly a consolation prize worthy of note.

Of course Preisdent Obama thinks that this is a real threat with teeth.  That’s because he believes his own hype.
