Blanche Lincoln Recipient of Obama Curse


The Obama endorsement curse is quickly overtaking the Sports Illustrated front page as the most dreaded sign of failure, which is bad news for Blanche Lincoln (D-AR). Robert Gibbs came out yesterday and said The One is standing behind her, just like they are standing behind all incumbent Democrats.

Guess this means she will vote for the Pelsoi-Reid-Obama healthcare plan now. I mean defeat is guaranteed so why not go out in a blaze of glory and really screw the constituents who you ignored all these years. Guess she might have the last laugh at our expense, realizing that she will be exempt any of the provisions in any healthcare legislation that is passed. Congress always manages to exempt themselves from the rules all of us little people have to struggle under.
President Obama is sticking with Sen. Blanche Lincoln in the May 18 Democratic primary in Arkansas.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs confirmed today that Obama will keep with his trend of supporting the sitting senator in party primaries, as he's done with Sen. Arlen Specter over Rep. Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania and in supporting Sen. Michael Bennet in Colorado.

"We support Senator Lincoln as an incumbent senator," Gibbs told reporters today during his daily briefing.

I guess the other good news is they are also supporting Specter. I will be glad to see him go.
