Congressional Dems Whine About Needing Obama For Midterms!
Get the fuck out whiners. Deliver the public option that he and most of the rest of the country wants, and you get Obama. Otherwise, fuck off and die in the bed you made for yourselves.

"Dems: We need Obama
By Reid Wilson - 09/28/09 08:20 PM ET

Democrats see the midterm elections as a referendum on President Obama and insist he become heavily involved in their outcome.

House Democrats see the midterm elections as a referendum on President Barack Obama and will insist that he become heavily involved in their efforts to retain a congressional majority.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chairman Chris Van Hollen (Md.) told The Hill that Democrats will be in a “much better position” if the administration helps defend the party’s record and that voters have to hear that defense “directly from the president.”"

3. They realize that they just gave him enormous leverage.

4. what does "support me on health care reform" mean?

5. He should agree to help those who are willing to go to bat for his agenda
The rest he should simply blow off.

Tit for tat- that's the strategy to get the most things accomplished.
