Despite Public Posturing, Casey Rubber-Stamped Obama’s Agenda & Is Raising Obama Campaign Cash Behind Closed Doors As the Pottsville Republican & Herald reports today, despite being among then-candidate Barack Obama’s earliest and most ardent supporters and rubber-stamping his party’s agenda 98 percent of the time in Washington, liberal Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) is now desperately attempting to distance himself from the President in advance of his 2012 reelection campaign: Early and wholeheartedly, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey embraced the presidential candidacy of fellow Sen. Barack Obama in 2008. Casey’s endorsement gave Obama a badly needed boost at the outset of his six-day introductory tour before the Pennsylvania Democratic presidential primary. After Obama won the presidency, Casey signed on as one of the biggest supporters of the president’s agenda. But with both men facing a re-election campaigns next year, the embrace is loosening. In the last few months, Casey has started to…
As Kaine Runs From Obama, NRSC Launches New Web Ad
Former DNC Chairman Has Spent Last Several Years As #1 Obama Cheerleader As President Barack Obama campaigns in Virginia this week, the Associated Press reports that his loyal former DNC Chairman and #1 Cheerleader, Tim Kaine, will be conspicuously absent: Don’t look for Democrats in fiercely contested Virginia legislative elections to join President Barack Obama as he brings his campaign-style American Jobs Act bus tour to three cities there. For that matter, don’t expect Tim Kaine, the former Democratic National Committee chairman and Virginia’s governor two years ago, to join his old ally either. But as the Richmond Times-Dispatch notes, Kaine’s role as a key Obama ally and the President’s hand-picked DNC Chairman leave him “joined to Obama at the hip”: “Kaine’s in a very special position,” [political analyst Larry] Sabato said. “He is joined to Obama at the hip. There’s nothing Kaine can do to run away from Obama…
Will Shelley Berkley Stand With Barack Obama In Support Of Another $450 Billion Stimulus?
The President Is Expected To Visit Las Vegas Next Monday, But The Congresswoman Refuses To Take A Position On His So-Called Jobs Bills Next Monday, President Barack Obama is expected to visit Las Vegas where he is likely to stump for another $450 billion stimulus, which has been introduced by none other than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Republicans – and even some Democrats – oppose this legislation, because this spending spree is nothing more than a redux of the first $825 billion stimulus that gave billions of dollars to tax cheats and sent millions of dollars to fictitious congressional districts like Nevada’s 32nd congressional district. One person who has refused to take a position is Congresswoman Shelley Berkley. Additionally, it’s unknown if Ms. Berkley, who attended the signing of ObamaCare and spoke at the President’s last campaign event at Orr Middle School in Las Vegas, will even attend this…
After Cheering For Obama’s Overspending & Deficits, Kaine Hypocritically Decries Overspending & Deficits
As President Obama’s hand-picked DNC Chairman, Tim Kaine has spent the last several years as the number-one cheerleader on behalf of the Democrats’ failed economic agenda of massive overspending and record deficits. For example, Kaine cheered loudly on behalf of Obama’s $787 billion stimulus debacle, which failed to create the jobs they promised while driving up our national debt. And the former DNC Chairman continues to be among the top supporters of ObamaCare, which the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports will increase federal deficits by $260 billion through 2019. Under President Obama’s control, and without opposition from his employee, Chairman Kaine, Washington has rung up record deficits, and as a portion of GDP our national debt has increased by 24.6 percentage points to a record-high $14.8 trillion. As CBS reports, this is “the most rapid increase in the debt under any U.S. president.” So given his enthusiastic support for…
