Reverse Midas: Obama to campaign for beleaguered Sen. Bennet in Colorado

Oh, goody.
The man whose in-state appearances helped doom Democrats Jon Corzine in New Jersey, Creigh Deeds in Virginia, and Martha Coakley in Massachusetts is now scheduled to campaign for flailing Democrat Sen. Michael Bennet here in Colorado.
President Obama will bring his reverse Midas Touch to the mountain West next month, according to the Denver Post:
The White House has confirmed that President Barack Obama will visit Colorado in February to attend an event with U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet.
White House spokesman Adam Abrams said Thursday that the details are still being worked out.
Craig Hughes, Bennet’s campaign manager, says Obama will be in Colorado to campaign for the senator, who is running for election. A date hasn’t been set.
The latest Rasmussen poll shows Bennett getting blown away by his GOP rivals.
He said he would fall on his sword for Obamacare in November.
Then, he had second thoughts after the Massachusetts miracle.
No worries. Seems like voters have made up their minds — and if the Obama kiss of death holds, Sen. Bennet will soon be relieved of duty.

Toast.
Charred, stinking, smoking toast.
Just seat the Republican now.
Hey, I’m looking forward to seeing Hope-a-Dope go 0 for 5. Midas, heck — “kiss of death” is more like it.
That fact that this joker even want Obama to campaign for him tells us all we need to know about him.
Which campaign is bringing him in? LoL!
….and the campaign contributions to Bennets opponents soar, another national effort of support mobilizes.
Tea Party on the march.
That’s called a track record. However, the democrats never bother with history. Just look at their motto:
Socialism – a century of failure proves nothing!
For that mojoe, you get the Blue Ribbon!
Make it six. I’d count Copenhagen twice with his great climate accord debacle.
This man’s ego is astounding. He still thinks he’s The One. Good for us.
Get Obama out there and NOW.
Get him over there again closer to election day to seal the deal!

*Please P-BO, oh please, get out there and campaign for John McCain before the primary!
Colorado Comment …
Bennett is a “richard”.
My best friend is a Constitutional attorney, former chief counsel for one of the Big Four oil companies, former Texas judge and currently head of his Department at a Colorado university … his run-in with Bennett goes like this (paraphrase) …
“Joe” wrote Bennett to object to a number of Democratic Party policies as soon as Bennett was appointed to replace Salazar.
Bennett’s email reply started out with “Please visit my website and familiarize yourself with my agenda. Once I arrive in Washington DC I intend to bla bla bla ..
Joe blew a fuse.
His reply … “Your Agenda??? You moron, you represent ME. Not yourself. You’re being sent to Congress from Colorado to protect Colorado citizens from 49 Senators who will probably try to corrupt the Constitution and erode our native God-given Rights. Your responsibility is to protect the Constitution in my behalf. Not have an AGENDA!”
Bennett’s answer … ” … what are you? Some kind of armchair looney Constitutional expert or something?”
Predictably, Joe did not receive a reply to his next reply to Bennett.
Bennett is such a tool we don’t have a name for it, except maybe Reid-Light.

*Can we now call P-BO Goldfinger, or is that metallurgical racism?; “It’s the kiss of death from Mr. Goldfinger”; Great song, great movie!
I never heard of this guy. My first reaction was “Oh crap! Obama’s gonna start campaigning for conservative Republicans!”. Nope. Barry always doubles down on his mistakes. It’s all part of the magic of being “The One”.
Conservatives, we are on a roll so let’s remember to not become giddy with success. Government is still out of constitutional control and we must stay focused on the details of the job ahead. When the cockroaches are running from the light, stomp on their heads.
off topic….odumbo vaults to #3 on the misery index in just his first year…

+1 Best post of the day.
Obama’s prescription for all our ails seems to be more Obama!
Bring it on, Obambi! And then you can go campaign for McCain and Graham and Crist!
O-Bama-Lama-Ding-Dong’s curse goes beyond politics.
He calls No. 1-ranked Univ. of Kentucky Wildcats basketball team.
Later that same day, they lose their first game.
He’s now 0-for-4.
I sure hope there is a Tea Party planned to welcome Obama to Senator Benet’s event!
We need to make Obama, Pelosi and Reid completely toxic to any candidate who even thinks about inviting them to a fundraiser!
I;m sure Michelle is posting on this as I write but Obama just ordered Justice to move the terror trial from NYC.
Might I suggest Chicago as consolation prize for losing the Olympics? A 3-ring circus full of fireworks instead of sports and fireworks? It’ll remind everyone of the Chicago 8 trials of the 1960s.
Deeds, Corzine, the Chicago Olympics, Coakley, the Kentucky Wildcats, and now Bennet? Awesome!
If Obama keeps up his current pace, the Grim Reaper’s gonna sue him for copyright infringement.
Another corruptocrat cleared by House Ethics Panel. My God, what does it take? Pete Stark? You would think that guy was eligible for summary execution!
Sweet. Obama is misreading the electorate and the Dems are paying the price.
I saw a mention somewhere that Obama really blew it with his agenda this past year. He had a situation where he could have torn the Republican party apart with his Presidential win but he didn’t reconize it because he is so blinded by his idealogy. If he had tacked center left, they would have been able to pass some bills that would have shut out the Republican party for the forseeable future. But lucky for us, he lied during his campaign to get elected and had no intention of doing what he said. He was and is a hard leftist. That allowed the Republicans to organize in mass to resist his policies.
He has probably spent his political capital pushing his stupid progressive ideas instead of creating the conditions on the ground for liberal rule.
Stupid is as stupid does.
*I hear P-BO is pullin’ for the Saints!; Go Colts!
Let’s make sure his GOP opponent is not a John McCain, amnesty-loving, open borders type of Republican.
McCain mini-me Grahamnesty just got reelected in 2008.
We must elect people willing to uphold the laws if we wish to keep our country.
VPat. I’ll know everything is right in the world when the Tea Party shows up at a McCain/Palin rally to boo them. Could happen. Maybe Obama will show up and make it a hat trick!
You know, I seem to recall that Ms. Malkin is a Coloradoan…
BHO’s kiss of death for incumbents! Can’t wait for him to come back to NJ to help Menendez.
Have we found a new theme song for “The One”?
King Midas In Reverse – The Hollies
We should draw up a campaign plan for Barry to get out and support his candidates. It will poison the Dems country-wide and keep The One out of D.C., thus limiting the damage he can do.
I still think Bennet has some kind of Romulan/Vulcan thing going on. That being said, Go For It Barry!
According to the news article referenced above, Bennet faces a primary challenge before the special election. Let’s see how the primary turns out.
I remember the summer of 1974 Richard Nixon was on the ropes, He started campaigning in local elections around the country, kind of a farewell tour. He spoke at our county courthouse and supported a couple of locals here in Michigan………They all lost in November.
With any luck he will put all his power and prestige behind immigration reform later this year too. That should kill any Dem version for the foreseeable future.
Don’t we owe Randy Cunningham an apology? Can we parole him and he can fly Pelosi around in the big jet while she bob-bob-bobbles along…
God bless our beloved president. He may top Ronald Reagan as the single greatest asset conservatives have ever had.
Let’s slow down and have an election first. Show the left the difference between you and them.
Remember to bet heavy on The Colts….Obambi is betting The Saints.
Bennet is a stooge of the democrats. He was “appointed”, because he could never be “elected”.
Jane Norton, isn’t exactly a Reagan republican, but she’s not a rino, either. IMHO, She would be the best candidate.
Before Obama was elected his inexperience was one more good reason to vote against him.
After he was elected his inexperience was our only hope.
Looks to me like Bennett needs Michelle Obama more. What’s up with his eyebrows?
Please Mr. President after Colorado come to Arizona and campaign for Senator Reach McCain in the primary.
Now if we can only get him to campaign for the other 58 Democrat Senators and the 256 Democrats in the House we could be doing really good (not to mention it would tie Obama up so badly for the rest of his term he would not have any other time to do more damage to our Nation).
We welcome any and all losers to CO. Misery loves company, so these two should enjoy each other quite a bit.
Vote TIDWELL for senate!
I was beaten to the punch! …kind of… I was going to say, I hope Obama’s pulling for the Colts to win the Superbowl!
Bennet should have spit out that slice of lemon before that picture.
Mike, I hope your resume is up to date. Finding another job might be kinda tough in the Obamaconomy.
“THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 94 AND 10 IS YOU HAVE ME.” YEAH, THIS TIME THE DEMS LOSE 90 SEATS.
After he’s done there and in AZ he needs to head to PA to help out Murtha.
As much as I’d like to see the Saints win, I’m afraid with The Won’s endorsement, the commercials will be the only reason to watch.
Well, I won’t accuse BHO of a lack of effort. But he sure is a slow learner!
GO BARRY GO!!
I live in Colorado and I thought I read that Bennet was not going to run[he was appointed to begin with],I guess he is really stupid. I also was in MA during the recent “Scott heard around the world” and it was so much fun. In ending,,isn’t insanity doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result,come on out, Obambi,,,,,instant replay.
Too good to be true. What’s the catch?
I live in Colorado too.. Haven’t decided who I’m going to help defeat Bennett(although I don’t think any candidate will need much help after O “helps” him).
Norton is running, I’m haven’t made up my mind on her. To close to the RINO’s.
Bennet was a goner anyway, Obama is not only tone deaf towards the American people on every issue, he’s tone deaf on campaign support. Even most Dems didn’t want Bennet the first time around, they wanted Romanoff.
Obama will be the kiss of death.
Bennett is a stooge to the Democrats. He hasn’t had an original idea in his life. His only claim to fame (according to him) is that he is a great educational administrator – oh, gag me. He is dem through and through. GOP Candidate Norton is not much better!!
