Rahall: I supported Bush more than Obama
By Russell Berman

A longtime House Democrat in electoral jeopardy this fall says he supported former President George W. Bush more than President Obama.
Rep. Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.), first elected in 1976, is a top target of Republicans in a state where Obama has long been deeply unpopular. He is facing a state senator, Evan Jenkins, who switched to the GOP to challenge him, and the House Democratic campaign committee recently added him to its “Frontline” list of members that need the most help saving their seat in November.
“There’s no question my critics try to blame Obama-Rahall for everything,” Rahall told The Hill. “I mean, the snow blitz that’s coming tonight is probably Obama-Rahall’s fault. And they won’t have that to do two years from now, so it’s obvious they’re leaving no stone unturned to defeat me this time. Because it’s the last time they’ll have Obama around! It’s that simple.”

Like every other politician on the planet... I guess we didn't have to worry about Mitt-Flop claiming to "be for the 99%"...He just laid it out there that the 99% in general, and the 47% specifically were peons to be ignored.
I find it amusing too... That whole wondrous smear machine out there to choose from, and it's such a slow news day the best you can come up with is a politician attending a fund-raising dinner...
Irony? While Obama claims to be for the 99%, slow job growth have record amounts on food stamps and disability.
The 47% might have been much better off under Mitt who understood how to create jobs and keep a budget.

And what does America have after five years of Obama? Record numbers of Americans on disabilty and food stamps, millions on long term unemployment.
And ironically, the 1%r's doing better than ever before. LJ, are you sure you weren't canvassing door to door for a GOP guy in Dem clothing?
