President Obama backed Blanche Lincoln because she supported the affordable care act passed. It not only would have been unjust to drop the lady after he got her vote, it would have been politically unwise.
Lots of liberals, myself included, never cared for ms Lincoln. But most of us being grownups we didn't jump to the conclusion that Obama was some sort of rightwing conspirator.
And despite how many digs you throw at the president, and how many distractions you come up with, this thread is about the great job Wendy Davis is doing down there in tx.
We need more like her, and more are stepping forward because folks are fed up with the politics of distraction.
