Democrats demonstrating shame over Obama support
Having inflicted a monumentally incompetent, ill-prepared president on the United States, Democrats are starting to feel some shame, it appears. Wait, are Democrats even capable of shame? Make that a pragmatic desire to escape their Election Day karma. Whichever it is, Democrats are now treating their support of Obama as something they want to cover-up. Literally.
Taking her unwillingness to admit she voted for Obama to a whole new level, the campaign of Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky reportedly told student volunteer canvassers wearing Obama T-shirts to cover them up! Oh, the shame! College Insurrection reports:
A number of College Democrats who traveled to Kentucky to campaign for Alison Grimes were surprised to learn that the Obama t-shirts they were wearing were considered inappropriate attire.
Victoria Sheridan of the GW Hatchet reported.
Behind-the-scenes moments from the College Democrats’ trip to Kentucky
Many students filled their bags for the trip with t-shirts depicting President Barack Obama and their GW College Democrats shirts with Obama’s name emblazoned on the back.
But it wasn’t until they got to Kentucky that canvassers remembered to be careful not to connect Democratic candidates there with Obama. Alison Grimes, who is running against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, wanted to differentiate herself from the president and the administration’s policies that don’t resonate with Kentucky residents, like Obama’s policies toward coal mining.
Luckily for them, the weather was so cold they had to cover up anyway, and their t-shirts were hidden under jackets and sweatshirts.
