Obama is saying that he supported Democratic candidate Tom Barrett in the attempted recall of Gov. Scott Walker, but as president, he has a lot of responsibilities, and was just too busy to help.
We all know what Obama was doing during the run-up to the recall election. Obama did not concern himself with his supporters in Wisconsin during the recall election. Instead, Obama was hiding from the recall because he knew they were going to lose, and didn’t want another loss on his record, for the people he has tried to support. Obama was also campaigning for himself, and rubbing elbows with Hollywood personalities, willing to pay thousands of dollars to have dinner, or take a picture with Obama.
So when Obama says that he was too busy for the citizens of Wisconsin, he meant it. Obama only cares about himself, and will do and say ANYTHING to get re-elected.
President Obama says White House duties kept him away from Wisconsin during the recent recall election — and he doesn’t think the Democratic defeat there will mean much for his own re-election bid.
“I think probably you’ve got specific circumstances in Wisconsin,” Obama told WBAY-TV of Green Bay about the failed Democratic effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker.
When asked about supporters who were upset that Obama did not campaign for Democratic candidate Tom Barrett, Obama said: “The truth of the matter is that as President of the United States, I’ve got a lot of responsibilities.
“I was supportive of Tom and have been supportive of Tom,” Obama said. “Obviously, I would have loved to see a different result.”
Republicans and Mitt Romney supporters who would love to snatch the Badger State away from Obama in the Nov. 6 election interpreted the president as saying he was “too busy” to bother with the residents of Wisconsin.
Republican Party spokesperson Kirsten Kukowski sent an e-mail with “a reminder what the president’s schedule looked like the Friday before the (Wisconsin) election: Six fundraisers in Minnesota and Chicago.
“And the day of the election,” she added: “Obama gives Bon Jovi a ride on Air Force One. I bet this will go over well with the Wisconsin Democrats Obama is counting on to campaign for him.”
Obama told WBAY-TV that the Wisconsin recall revolved around the controversy between Walker and public service unions.
“Keep in mind, it is a bit unusual when a governor gets this much attention in the middle of his term,” Obama said. “My suspicion is all across this country, governors who are dealing with tough budgets have to make tough decisions. But one of the lessons learned is that it is better to make them with people than against people.”
