[October 24, 2014]  The President has said the democrats who are shunning him during the campaign because of his nosedive in approval ratings really are his supporters, and all of the policies of the Administration are still on the table for this Mid-Term election. For sure it has nothing to do with the flow of scandals coming out of this Administration; at least that is the claim of the Administration. Even the President says, "Scandal, what scandal? These are nothing but phony scandals." The President pushes the blame onto someone else, usually starting with former President Bush. But the democrats are smarter politically than the President thinks they are.

The fact the democrats have turned away from the President and will not appear with him in their own campaigns for re-election indicates they likely know the answer to his falling poll numbers. They know that paired-associates are dangerous for them right now because the voters will identify them with the policies of the President. It will remind the voters of the fact that the democrat candidate seeking their vote has supported the President in all of his policies. It will remind them of all the scandals they have lived through during the past six years. Those scandals are things those democrats don't want the voter to remember. So what are those things the democrat campaigns around the country want to shield from the Mid-Term voter?

Perhaps we could start with the FAST & FURIOUS Mexican gun running debacle that ended up causing the death of at least one border guard. Then the State Department lying about Benghazi by making up a ridiculous story about a video being the cause of the riot at the Consulate. Then of course the White House leaking vital information resulting in potentially hazardous working conditions for all coalition agents from around the world vulnerable to being identified & executed.

As if that is not enough, there were reportedly secret deals with Russia that probably included getting rid of our EASTERN DEFENSE SHIELD in Poland which dumbfounded, disappointed & angered all of our allies. The consistent apologizing to all Arab nations & genuflecting to Muslim Saudi Royalty venerating the Quran & besmirching the Bible. We can't forget the voter fraud that includes ACORN, BLACK PANTHERS & the dead voting.


Then of course there is a question of why the President would have more than one social security number & I.D.’s. There was a $50 million donation to the President’s favorite charities in exchange for releasing his personal records. And don't forget the Military not getting their votes counted. If that is not enough, remember the NSA monitoring our phone calls, emails and everything else. Drones in our own country meant to KILL Americans without the benefit of the law. Giving 123 Technologies $300 Million and right after it declared bankruptcy and was sold to the Chinese.

Remember too, giving SOLYNDRA $500 MILLION DOLLARS and 3 months later they declared bankruptcy and then the Chinese bought it. The President arming the Muslim Brotherhood & giving them HUNDREDS of MILLIONs of our hard earned tax dollars. The IRS targeting conservatives, DOJ spying on the press, DOJ using CHOKE POINT tactics to strong arm whomever they please, and the EPA suppressing information to get Obama re-elected. To top it off we can't forget Kathleen Sebelius shaking down health insurance executives.

I am sure the democrats would like all voters to forget the President's ordering the release of nearly 10,000 illegal immigrants from jails and prisons, and falsely blaming the sequester. The President's threat to impose gun control by Executive Order in order to bypass Congress. The President's repeated violation of the law requiring him to submit a budget no later than the first Monday in February. And of course, being from Chicago, who could forget in the 2012 election it was discovered the vote where 115% of all registered voters in some counties voted 100% for Obama.

The democrats afraid of the toxicity includes the President's unconstitutional recess appointments in an attempt to circumvent the Senate's advise-and-consent role. It took the United States Supreme Court to correct this "scandal." Who but the most uninformed voters could forget the State Department interfering with an Inspector General investigation on departmental sexual misconduct. Don't forget too, the top executives in the Administration, Clinton, the IRS, Clapper and Holder all lying to Congress for the scandals they each caused. Of course the President was close by to offer up an Executive Privilege writ to protect his closest allies.

Who could forget the promise the President made years ago to help all veterans secure fast efficient quality healthcare at all V.A. hospitals across this country? 2010 memos document that the President knew about the horrific, fatal & deliberate procrastination going on in the V.A. with full knowledge. More than that, who can forget the President's promise, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor; if you like your insurance policy, you can keep your insurance policy." However, when it was finally brought to the light of day Americans discovered they had not been able to keep those things promised. Additionally, the Obamacare insurance has raised the cost of insurance policies hundreds of dollars, deductibles have skyrocketed and people have even lost their policies they had because the government said they were not good enough.

Perhaps the democrats would really like the average voter to absolutely forget the President's release of the TERRORIST DREAM TEAM FIVE commanders from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for a soldier who went AWOL looking for the Taliban, possibly sympathetic to their cause. The investigation into this soldier's behavior has been completed, but the President has ordered the Pentagon to suppress the findings of that investigation until after the Mid-Term election. That should help the democrats who are seeking re-election.

Is there anybody who could forget the E-mails getting lost by the IRS & EPA & now, the administration said that some Obamacare emails also “might not be able to be retrievable.” That’s what Health and Human Services officials told lawmakers in a letter. The emails were requested by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA). Surprise!

Finally, who could forget the laughter the President and all liberal media heaped upon Mitt Romney when he told us about the 65 million low-information voters who don't pay taxes, get free stuff from taxpayers and stuck us again with the most pandering, corrupt administration in American history?

Is it any wonder the democrats campaigning for re-election are inviting the President, his (and their) policies to take a back seat for this election? It is amazing they believe the American voter is so stupid they cannot see this ruse.
