Obama Begs to Differ with House Saying, "Looky What I've Done"

The complaint echoed in the House of Representatives from Obama's party that he is less than ardent in his attempt to help secure Democratic seats for November was answered formally by the White House today. Specifically, Obama's people wrote a memo to Congress explaining just what he's done for them all lately. Besides gracing them with his presence in chambers throughout the term, his people say he, Biden, the first lady, cabinet officers and senior staff have participated in 187 political events in the last 18 months, "all with the intention of directly supporting candidates on the ballot in 2010 or building up the infrastructure of party committees,” reads the memo. Further, it protests that “40 more events are currently or tentatively scheduled and dozens more will be organized in the next few months” and the  "Democratic National Committee has committed $50 millions “in support of races across the country for 2010.” The memo was likely a response to White House press secretary Robert Gibbs admission Sunday that Democrats could lose the House, although the administration claims the memo was routine. 

With Obama's poll numbers on the economy, jobs and the environment in a downward spiral, I cannot understand why members of his party would protest. They should beg him to throw them the purse and stay away from their events.
