BREAKING: Obama Endorses Mary Landrieu
In a conference call today, President Barack Obama endorsed Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) in her bid to win her Senate seat, which she has held for more than a decade, against Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA).

The endorsement will most likely serve as a burden for Landrieu, rather than an asset, as a majority of Louisiana voters do not approve of Obama’s agenda and the way he has handled Obamacare or the economy.

Landrieu has spent her entire re-election avoiding Obama and his policies, which she has largely supported. Exit polling in the November Senate race, showed that there are 5 issues that Louisianians care most about.

#1  Well, that endorsement should be be the kiss of political death for Landreau. O doesn't care. He don't need congress no mo.

#2  Why does he hate her so much that he would destroy her political career like this?

#3  I don't get it. The good ship Mary is already sinking slowly. An endorsement from Barry is a hit below waterline. Not gonna help her. What's in it for the Prez?

#4  As is so often said, "the Champ sees things as he wishes them to be, not as they actually are." He will never accept the fact that his endorsement is millstone pulling her to the bottom. The king's favor is not to be questioned.

#5  Kiss of death.

#6  Mrs,. Glenmore went to a Town Hall early in the Obamacare rollout. Hosted by mary, with four cabinet secretaries there, including Sibelius. Mary was the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but she did not deliver the supportive audience they needed. Subsequent meetings were by invitation only.

#7  The Obama Touch™. Like King Midas in reverse

#8  The latest anti-Landrieu ad is a very professionally done spot featuring a little girl at a spelling bee. The question to her is "How do you spell "Landrieu", and the little girl answers "O-B-A-M-A". One of the judges says "Close enough!"

Cassidy will have commercials out about the Champ's endorsement before I finish typing this.

#12  I suspect that the endorsement is a scorched-field start towards revamping Louisiana's Democratic Party.

#13  Directed at the only demographic that will reliably turn out for Mary. My only surprise is that he didn't say "Hands out. Vote twice."

#14  ROFLMAO, #8 Matt! :-D

#15  After my initial harf, I remembered everything is domestic polits with TFG. They have seen the polls, know the chances. I agree with Pappy and Nimble.

#16  I expect we'll see more of this from 0. He knows his presidency is over. He's now teeing up his post presidential career. He doesn't have a ranch to retire to, the ability to build houses for others, nor the class to keep his mouth shut. In fact, the only "skill" he has is running his mouth. Look for the only community organizer with a Secret Service detail to overshadow Al as the world's community organizer. He knows it's the only way he can make his presidency look good. Relatively.

#17  If Landrieu wins, Obama can spin the idea that the Dems lost because they ran away from him instead of bracing his record.

If Landreiu loses, Obama can blame her support for keystone.

Win/win in Liberal land.

#18  Don Cravins, Democrat mayor, “If you early voted, go vote again tomorrow. One more time’s not going to hurt. Tomorrow we’re going to elect [Democrat] Earl Tayor as [District Attorney], so he won’t prosecute you if you vote twice.”
