Now I freely admit that I am nowhere near to being the political genius that, say a, Bob Beckel is. But still, having said that, I gotta tell ya that if I was running the campaign of any Republican now running for the Senate this year, I would not hesitate for a second to use the most recent sound bite that was kindly furnished by Barry "Almighty" himself. And I would use it at every opportunity I could.
Because as hard as these scumbag Democrats who are now either running for re-election, or challenging Republican incumbents, in next month's midterm elections, have been working to put some distance between themselves and Barry, what Barry managed to do with just one interview was to make it very clear that not only do they have his full support, but he, apparently, also still has their full support as well.
Barry went so far as to tell everyone’s faux reverend, and his go-to-guy on all things having to do with race, Al ‘Bull Horn’ Sharpton on MSNBC, "This isn't about my feelings being hurt." Barry then went on to say, "These are folks who are strong allies and supporters of me, and I tell them, 'you know what, you do what you need to do to win. I will be responsible for making sure that our voters turn out.'"
Barry declared that those Democrats in tightly-contested races are on his side. Barry said, "We've got a tough map. A lot of the states that are contested this time are states that I didn't win." And he went on to say, "And so some of the candidates there, it is difficult for them to have me in the state because the Republicans will use that to try to fan Republican turnout." Right, it’s all the fault of the Republicans.
And then, and in what I’m sure was music to the ears of these Democrats so eager to disavow him, Barry said, "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."
Several Democrats, I think we’re up to at least four by now, in races said to be key, this November, have now actually gone so far as to refuse to reveal who they voted for in the past two presidential elections. And others seem to be going out of their way to make the point that Barry's assistance is neither sought or desired, especially with his approval rating now down below the 40 percent mark, the lowest of his presidency.
Republicans need to capture six additional Senate seats to take control of the chamber. There are 10 races that could swing either way or are leaning toward one party in Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and North Carolina. Most ‘experts’ are predicting enough Republican victories on Nov. 4 for the party to win over control of the Senate.
There have been several recent polls showing that a majority of the American people are quite unhappy with how Barry has handled, and continues to handle, pretty much everything from the economy and race relations to the crisis in the Middle East and the Ebola scare. Combined with the disaster that Obamacare has proven itself to be, and you quickly see why it is that the Democrats have been trying so hard to distance themselves from Barry.
