Obama to Democrats: I'll Hide Out For Three Months If That'll Help

Compare and contrast, thanks to Voice In My Head.

Now he's saying:

President Obama assured the nine Democratic members of Congress sitting around the table that he would do anything he could to help them survive their fall elections.

Even, he said, if it meant staying away.

“You may not even want me to come to your district,” Mr. Obama said, according to guests, nearly all of whom hold seats that Republicans are aggressively seeking.

But remember what he was saying a half a year ago, when Blue Dogs worried about how many unpopular votes they were being whipped on? It wouldn't be a blow-out like 1994, Obama reassured them.

The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’

Right, they've got Barack Obama willing to hide out for 100 days like a fugitive.

Big difference!
