Barack Obama Rewards His Cheerleader

Days after Senator Feingold was exposed for relying upon California and New York to fund his campaign, Senator Feingold is now relying upon Washington, D.C. President Obama just became the latest out-of-stater to support Feingold’s desperate attempt to return to the Senate.

As conflicts around the world escalate and as Iran continues its open hostility towards the United States, Wisconsinites deserve a leader to repair President Obama’s failures – not a proxy to rubber stamp them.

Though Barack Obama just endorsed Senator Feingold today – weeks after he offered his support to other Democrat Senate candidates, Senator Feingold has been endorsing Barack Obama for seven years.

FEINGOLD FLASHBACK:

• “I agree with the president over 95 percent of the time. I think he’s doing a very good job and I think he’s going to be, by the end of his second term, one of our greatest presidents.”

• "I think [President Obama] could end up being one of our great presidents from the point of view of our international policies."

• "I think the president is as well informed and intuitive about international issues as almost any president we’ve ever had."

• “Obama has a very sophisticated sense of the world. We’re lucky to have a president who understands these things.”

• “I think [Obama’s] foreign policy record overall has been very good.”

Seven years of Barack Obama have already proven to be risky enough. Wisconsinites will reject another six through Senator Russ Feingold.
