Are the Virginia and New Jersey Democratic losses a repudiation of President Barack Obama?

No hiding in the White House  

 

You better believe  it is!

The biggest story of the that night is Christie, and W.H. will have to duck and dodge for a few days on that one. While reasons may be several, Obama had campaigned twice and W.H. clearly felt they could push Corzine past finish line. Biggest disappointment.

It really hurts Obama to think that Christie will run a blue state like NJ for four years. Ouch!

The spin coming out of the White House is that the gubernatorial races are not relevent to Obama’s agenda, and while this is true, the White House put  a high priority on these races when both Obama and Biden spent so much time over the last to weeks on the stump in Virginia and New Jersey for the Democrats. Surely, contrary to the spin the administration held some relevance to these elections. Theses election were much more relevent than the White House cares to admit. While these two Republican wins do not affect Obama’s ability to pass his agenda it does send a message to the White House that people are fed up. The voters are growing leery of Obama’s policies and of his administration in general.

No hiding in the White House  

 

It's easy and fun to kick King Obama around. He brought too much baggage with him. But the real vampire in all this is Nasty PELOSI. I don't care where you come down in your politics that lady needs the power taken away from her. Many times she won't let a vote come to the floor if she doesn't agree with the ligislation. When that happens your representative, that you elected, can't represent you.That's BS. We elect our reps and some old broken down madame from California should not have the power to tell them when they can vote!!!

The Republican Party is about to make an epic comeback due largely to the King Obama's staff keeping him in campaign mode. The rubber has hit the road so to speak and it is time for him to govern, lead and be the President of the United States.

I am extremely disappointed in our President -- Bill Clinton knew when it was time to stop campaigning and get to work. We have not seen the results or the transparency promised to us and now the voters are say "enough."

You can't have it both ways. If the Democratic candidates for governor in NJ and VA won, would President Obama have gotten credit for helping them win? Probably. He should surely take some of the blame for their loss. Many independents across the country are having buyer's remorse re the president. I would imagine that many in Congress are hoping that Health care will die on the vine. Who wants to walk the plank on that one if you are up for re-election?
