This might have been the straw that broke the erm... donkey's back (so to speak). Obama might have dealt a serious blow to every Democrat running in red states, since most of them are trying to distance themselves from him, while hiding the fact that most of them voted in lockstep with Obama's agenda. He inadvertently ratted them out on Al Sharpton's radio show:
OUCH.
President Barack Obama said:“Well, look, here’s the bottom line,” said Obama, “We’ve got a tough map. A lot of the states that are contested this time are states that I didn’t win. And so some of the candidates there, you know, it is difficult for them to have me in the state because the Republicans will use that to try to fan Republican turn-out. The bottom line is, though, these are all folks who vote with me. They have supported my agenda in Congress. They are on the right side of minimum wage. They are on the right side of fair pay. They are on the right side of rebuilding our infrastructure. They’re on the right side of early childhood education.
“So, this isn’t about my feelings being hurt. These are folks who are strong allies and supporters of me. And I tell them, I said, you know what, you do what you need to win. I will be responsible for making sure that our voters turn up.”
OUCH.
