Republicans Support Obama "Save The Senate" Tour
WASHINGTON (SR) - In a bizarre twist, the GOP is donating millions to President Obama's "Save the Senate" tour, as the President heads west this week to campaign for two embattled Democrats trailing badly against Republican challengers - including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
GOP leader Michael Steele said his party will "do everything in our power" to facilitate President Obama's efforts to campaign on behalf of Democrat Senators battling to keep their jobs, including paying all expenses, and coordinating "extensive" press coverage.
Reportedly several of the Senators Obama plans to visit have requested the President send money in lieu of personally appearing or speaking on their behalf.
Sen. Reid's campaign issued a statement thanking the President for his concern, but asking Obama "not mention my name or come to my state." Another Democrat Senator is said to be leaving on an "emergency vacation" to avoid being photographed with the President.
My comments: Oh jeez, like these douchebags aren't going to have a hard enough time getting re-elected, here comes the one guy they're trying to disassociate themselves from! Where to I donate to Barry's rescue mission?

Obama To Campaign For Reid, GOP Jubilant
WASHINGTON (SR) - A White House announcement today that President Barack Obama will appear with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid next month in Las Vegas is prompting jubilant celebration in the GOP, and bitter despair in the Reid campaign.
"I have little doubt we can lose horribly on our own, we don't need help," said Reid's campaign manager. "Really, the President would help us more if he could somehow appear with our Republican challenger."
GOP leader Michael Steele warned his party against prematurely celebrating Reid's defeat, saying Obama's support isn't a 100% guarantee the unpopular Nevada Senator will lose, estimating the likelihood could be "as little as 97%."
My comment: Wow, from messiah to political turd-in-the punchbowl in only one year? That's a shame. Margaritas and party hats anyone?
