Most political building in the world isn't watching politics tonight
Posted by: Townhall.com Staff at 10:11 PM
Washington (CNN) – President Obama is not planning to watch Tuesday nights election returns, Obama aides Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod tell CNN.

Obama is more likely to watch Tuesday night's Chicago Bulls game than any political coverage, according to Axelrod.

The president's senior staff have also decided not to hold a watch party to keep an eye on election returns as they come in.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was spotted in workout clothes leaving the White House campus at 7 p.m. ET, just as polls were closing in Virginia. Axelrod told CNN he has a dinner outside the White House to attend

Obama not bothering to watch the election coverage tells us what we already knew. A wannabe dictator never cares about free and fair elections, nor do they care about the will of the people. Obama is definitely just a Chavez wannabe.

Ok, that's it ! I want Obama's schedule

Chillin' watching the Bulls, played more golf than W, halloween parties, wife date trips all over !

He's got more free time than I do and he's the most important person in the world with a global economic crisis still firmly entrenched in the US.

I want his daily schedule and the next time the boss says I need to stay late or work the weekend, i'm showing them Obama's schedule. If he has that time free, then surely I should be able to push back my responsibilities.

Watching da BULLS???
"Obama is more likely to watch Tuesday night's Chicago Bulls game than any political coverage, according to Axelrod."

=======================================

Simply proving what I have figured all along...

NObamaElMessiah is a faux President. Slotted in for no other reason than his being a good looking, well spoken black man who can do the chicken dance on cue. If support for him begins to dwindle over time, his handlers will simply release the fact he's homosexual, and his Michelle is being paid to pretend to be his wife. Or, that she is in fact a man in drag. Perhaps that she's had several abortions. This will energize the hyphenated-American party base no doubt.

I mean come on, what qualification for the job did NObama bring with him, a single page resume which amounted to working as a community organizer, and serving in the US Senate for all of 150 days?? Or, was it the record setting number of times he voted, "present" while he was seated in the Illinoise Senate?? LOL!!!

The only folks watching these political races last night were NObama's ultra-left wing handlers.

Was Obama perhaps over-confident
when he decided to watch sports instead of the race,...or not confident enough? Regardless, his main man lost. I wonder what that will due for his lagging poll numbers now?

What? ACORN is a mess? I have no clue.

What? Taxpayer march on DC? I had no clue there were 1.5 million people in District this weeekend!

What? Van Jones a communist? I had no clue!! But I
threw him under the bus, too.

What? Me, President of the U.S.? I have no clue about these elections in VA,NJ,NY, nope. And I have no clue about Afghanistan, either.

It would suck to be me, the COWboy in chief, aka The Pied Piper.

Two Obama Blue States Turn Scarlet Red 2

New Jersey and Virginia each have relatively large numbers of electoral votes (15 NJ; 13 V). It is not insignificant that both of these important states went from being Democrat Blue States to Republican Red. That's way more important than what happened anywhere else.

How many MORE states has Obama lost in just 1 year?

That's the million dollar question.

I suspect these 2 aren't the only ones he'll lose for the Democrats by the time the 2010 National elections roll around.

And I'm sure this dynamic, while seeming to be ignored by the mainstream media and their champions in the White House, is weighing most heavily on their minds.

While Obama pretended not to be watching, two Obama-blue states, New Jersey and Virginia, have both become scarlet RED STATES overnight.

He can pretend not to care all he wants...

That is no small victory for Conservatism.

...and no small defeat for his agenda of Obamaism.

Two Obama Blue States Turn Scarlet Red 1

The most important thing to note about what took place tonight is that 2 states with a significant number of electoral college votes (NJ-15; V-13) just went from being Blue states to Red states...Obama losing both, only 1 year after having won them. That, and Obama's own statement on the significance of NJ is what definitely makes this a referendum on the Obama failed first year as president.

As evidence of the rejection of Obama by the voters, esp. in NJ, this story was carried by MSNBC on Sunday during Obama's 11th hour rallies for Corzine in NJ:

CAMDEN, N.J. - In a final campaign swing on behalf of the only governor seeking re-election this fall, President Barack Obama on Sunday pitched Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine's bid as a key component for the White House to make good on its political promises.

"He's one of the best partners I have in the White House. We work together," Obama said. "We know our work is far from over."

Obama drew 6,500 people at a rally in Camden and another 11,000 later in Newark, according to White House estimates. He urged supporters to work hard to give Corzine another term in office so he can work with Washington to help repair a brittle economy. A Corzine loss would be seen as a political embarrassment for the White House."
__________________________________________

There isn't any way they would have admitted this had they not really thought Obama's appearances could put Corzine over the top. Knowing that the White House and their propaganda arm in the Network News organizations will try to downplay tonight's results, I'm scanning all the archival evidence I can, proving just how important (and how crushing) a defeat this was for Obamaism.

STATES RIGHTS
For the rest of Obama's 'reign' considering he is referred to as the 'ruler'. States are going to have to fight for their rights be electing Governors who reflect their priorities. It is obvious that the federal govt. under the 'rulership' of Obama and his Kabala from Chicago AMERICANS can't count on the federal govt. to even regulate drugs like Marijuana let alone manage the flu vaccine.

Subsequently, when state's Opt Out or In of any and all health care management programs from the pit of the Chicago Macanations, the governors will be americans who can be relied upon. How about State's lead the charge on containing the immigration crisis?

As the drug laws for marijuana goes i.e. Obama arguing for state's rights, so do the abortion laws and immigration laws.

WE THE PEOPLE SAY - NO WE CAN'T dismantle our nation.

The Olympics was easier than NJ loss
The White house spent ALL their political capital in NJ, hoping to keep their man in the Governor's Mansion - but the NJ voters said NO WE CAN'T dismantle NJ anymore.

It's no wonder nobody is watching (wink, wink). It's too painful to watch as Obama's agenda/policies are rejected at an EXECUTIVE LEVEL. Sure district 23 may be a consolation price but it's like saying 'at least Chicago was not voted out of the olympics bid in the first round'. In the end, Obama and his frat brothers have received the message loud and clear.

AMERICANS don't want to dismantle this nation. In God We Trust and We The People want representatives not rulers (did you hear that Obama spokesperson - representatives not rulers) after all this is a representative govt.

Exactly.

Why watch a bad movie?

Especially when you already know how it ends?

Just a bunch of astroturfers!!!!
Those people showing up at the TH's were all paid for by big corporate pharmaceuticals! 9/12 only had a few hundred malcontents in DC!

Right??? No need to watch any f-ing election results.

Like Ray A says "What elections?"

Of course.
His internal poll numbers indicated that Republicans almost sweep.
