First Read has learned that President Obama will add a new campaign stop to his schedule: Charlottesville, VA on Oct. 29. The president will campaign for freshman Rep. Tom Perriello (D), who just unveiled a new TV ad today that attempts to draw attention to a more conservative third-party candidate in order to siphon votes away from Republican nominee Robert Hurt.
Speaking of that ad, the Hurt campaign is releasing statements from some of the conservatives featured in the ad who are criticizing Hurt. Here is one:
Tom Perriello's most recent negative campaign ad is another shameful attempt by the Perriello campaign to avoid talking about his record in Congress," said Mike McPadden, who ran against Hurt in the GOP primary. "It is sad that Mr. Perriello’s record as our congressman is so poor that he has to stoop to these levels in his desperate attempt to hold on to the fifth district seat. To portray Robert Hurt as anything but a staunch conservative is ridiculous and disingenuous."
*** UPDATE *** Here is the response to Obama's visit from the Hurt campaign: "We gladly welcome President Obama to the 5th District as he campaigns on behalf of his favorite Congressman, Tom Perriello. His visit will further solidify the idea in the minds of voters that Congressman Perriello has been nothing more than a lap dog for the job killing Obama-Pelosi agenda, representing their interests, not the interests of Central and Southside Virginians. The Obama-Perriello rally will be a great time for the pair to explain to voters how their failed policies have led to over 11,000 jobs lost in the District, skyrocketing debt, a government takeover of health care, and an intrusive federal government."

With constant campaigning when not villifying hard working citizens who don't want bigger government, more spending and job killing laws, rules, regulations and executive orders, how does Obama EVER find time for golf?
"skyrocketing debt, a government takeover of health care, and an intrusive federal government"
*YAWN*
Same schpeel over and over. Nov 2nd = End of Back to Back Political Attack Ads = True reason to celebrate
an even better reason to celebrate is going to be Nov 3 when the dems find out how much America hates having stuff shoved down thier throats.
What happened to the new democrat campaign slogan, "Mr. Obama can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I'm concerned?" Works in Rhode Island for Democratic candidate for governor Frank Caprio at any rate.
President Obama's endorsement of any candidate has seemingly been the "kiss of death" to previous endorsees. Candidates must really be desperate. One would think he would have a full plate of national concerns begging for his attention without riding the campaign trail!
All this is the epitome of "SHANGHAI THEATRE" ..... you have Mr. Chuck Todd giving you info about our President "campaigning" for people. A JOKE! This is why they FEAR us. Does anybody think this looks a little familiar? Isn't this the BUSHYMAO TACTIC? THE CLINTONMAO TACTIC? The office of President is in the hands of the Chinese Mao. WTF is he absent from office from service to us? Does he think we are buying into his further demoralization of our nation's most esteemed office? WE ARE NOT! We need a President with integrity - who would see the wisdom in rising above the pettiness of "campaigning" and identify with his people. In these historic times .... is anybody fooled by all this COMMUNISM? I think not. The FED now see we are onto the "bushymao" scam. Yesterday- they said they will investigate the loans. A joke - but it shows that WE - THE REAL AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NEAR A MOVE! Remember I told you about the "STANT" factory moved from my childhood home of CONNERSVILLE, INDIANA - to the unon busted state of GOVERNOR BILL CLINTON - ARKANSAS. This "in-outsourcing" of union labor to non union labor ARKANSAS ... destroyed many families in my town. If you study COMMUNISM - MAOISM - you will find the values of "The BLUE YIN" CLINTONS - and the unGODLY "RED yang" of the BUSH FAMILY OF TEXAS. Yep folks CHINA IS ATTACKING US FROM BOTH PARTIES! FROM PEOPLE WHO LOOK JUST LIKE YOU TOO! Oh but don't take my word for it. Just google "maoism" or any corporate politician and "CHINA!" - A COMMUNIST SLAVE STATE! A NON-UNION DEATH PENALTY STATE! A NEO-FASCIST STATE WHEREIN THE "HAN" RACE HOLD BRUTAL DOMAIN OVER ALL SUBORDINATE RACES AND ALL RELIGEONS! THE BUSH OF TEXAS WAS A SPY FOR COMMUNIST CHINA- OR AMBASSADOR TO CHINA - CIA DIRECTOR BUSH! .......... Thank You - but I need a beer after all this patriotism! Jeeeesh!
For over a year I have been hearing about how Obama is Bankrupting America. How can the American people be so ignorant! Ronald Regan elected to office: National Debt nearly 4 Trillion dollars. He leaves office, ND about 8Trillion. GHW Bush adds nearly 2Trillion. Bill Clinton debt starts going down. Bush Jr. adds nearly 4Trillion. Over 9 Trillion Dollars of Republican debt. Yet, I'm supposed to believe that it's Obama's fault we have over 13 Trillion dollars of debt.
As a former Republican all I can say is that you can fool the American people damn near all the time! Because they wouldn't know a true fact if it smacked them in the face like a steel girder.
Very Sad!
It's well known that democracy & technology shape the future of a nation.
Let's give Democrats a chance to make headway.
The former President Bill Clinton said "It took me four years to balance the budget, then I gave you four surpluses, paid $600 billion down on the national debt,"
And I'd say : It took 8 years for the Bush mishandling to get a final verdict.
Let's not fall for the outrageous claim : Heal the 8 year-long chronic disease quickly, but do not see a doctor, adding to the deficit.
I do believe strongly that the nope or tea party, the insane group, are set to wreck a havoc on America.
