RNC Chair: Democrats in Wis. 'really feel put off' by Obama

Fresh off last night's victory for Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said there could be repercussions for President Obama, because he didn't do much to help liberal activists get Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett elected.

On MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports, the native Wisconsinite said Democrats "were really disappointed in this president for not coming into Wisconsin. He was in Chicago; he was in Minnesota. I mean, he really didn't lift a finger for them and neither did the Democratic Party, and so, they really feel put off."

But in the final exit poll, which included weighting for absentee ballots and showed Walker with a big lead, President Obama led Republican Mitt Romney by a 51-44 percent margin.

Priebus first tried to dismiss the result, which was similar to other polling conducted before the election.

"Well, I mean, those same exit polls said that it was going to be a close night, and it was not a very close race," Priebus said.

The early, unweighted exit polls did show a close race, but later data showed results closer to the eventual outcome. Walker won 53-46%.

Priebus continued, "But let's assume that the exit polls as they relate to Obama are accurate. I think you can't really poll today how people are going to feel in a couple of months."

He added that Democrats "wanted to prove that what happened in Wisconsin in 2010 was just a fluke. And this was their time, their opportunity to show the world that Wisconsin was blue, and they just needed a little help from Barack Obama. And they didn't get it. And for Obama to come back now in a couple of months, and expect some lovefest, that ... he's going to be greeted with open arms, I got a feeling that a whole lot of people and Democratic activists on the other side of the aisle in Wisconsin are going to say, 'Go back to Illinois. You weren't here for us, and we won't be there for you. That's a serious problem for the president."

This is hysterical!!!

Like Mr. Rinse & Repeat has his finger on pulse of how WI Democrats are feeling! lmao

If he wants to play this game, a fair question would be where the hell was Willard?

He couldn't *hug* Walker tight enough during the primaries and now he's giving him the cold shoulder!

Why do you suppose that was?

I've come to the conclusion after listening to the likes of Priebus & such - believe the exact opposite of whatever passes from of their lying lips...

Priebus is in Fantasy Land. Most Democrats will remember who saved the auto industry in WI. They will also remember who (no names, but his initials are W.R.) wanted to see the auto industry in WI dismantled. A heck of a lot of independents will remember as well.

I don't see anything wrong with President Obama not going to Wisconsin. After all he is the President and it would have looked worse had he gone and Walker won. He knew that Walker was going to win anyway.

The Republicans would have done the same.

Obama spent millions more than McCain did but I didn't hear the left complaining about that. I guess that makes those on the left that keep bringing up how much money was spent in WI but not by Obama in 2008 hypocrites.

Hey, Priebus, where was Mitt Romney? He never once appeared on stage with Scott Walker; in fact, he avoided Walker like the plague. Are we to assume that because of that, republicans are unhappy with Mitt?

sfcret, 2008 was pre-Citizens United; the rules were different. McCain spent his fair share of money and so did the GOP PACs, it just there were limits on donations. So, comparing elections today to those prior to 2010 is the equivalent of comparing apples and oranges--and you know it.

In fact he talked about getting a pair of "comfy shoes" and joining the unions thugs in their marches.

Yeah, it seems that as the going got tough, and it became absolutely clear to everyone that Walker was a lock ['cept you super smart libbies, and every single big brained MSNBC pundit] Obama pulled out and ran away.

Why just this week he was a stones throw of Wisc. yet never could seem to muster the courage to come over. Attend 5 or 10 fundraisers though, absolutely.

Then again Walker did not need Mitt's help to put the beat down on Barrett and the unions. Whereas Obama used to pledge his support and really needs the unions to help him.

Oh and Jody dear - maybe you can tell us why Obama chose not to accept public funding in '08?

Was it perhaps because he knew he had the advantage.

The problem remains 'who else but Obama would a Wisconsin democrat vote for'? I don't believe the premise that a democrat would vote republican in the presidential election to spite a democratic president for not showing up for their recall election.

However, democrats that are catholic, jewish, stay at home moms, moms with MS, moms with breast cancer, old fashioned people, people on medicare, people who can't afford to pay an insurance company $6500 a year Obama mandated health insurance premiums, might vote against president Obama.

Wisconsin democrats that would prefer a Wisconsin $3 Billion in debt and an unemployment rate of 7.7% instead of the Wisconsin that has been delivered by Walker that is debt free and has an unemployment rate improved to 6.7%, might vote for Obama.

Exactly what does having spent more money than another candidate have to do with someone voting? Most people are rational intellectual folks who see through the smoke and mirrors. Why don't you give the Wisconsin voters a little credit. They voted they way THEY wanted, not the way YOU wanted them to vote!

And if you are bringing up the fact that one side influences more with money, think back to 2008 when Obama spent a HUGE amount more than McCain. Are we supposed to then say, well..."Obama bought the election"? Please...for you, it seems to work that money is good when your guy gets elected, but bad when the other guy gets elected.

Romney and Son's 8 Billion Ponzi Scam

Romney & Son Investigated for 8 Billion Ponzi Scheme

Mitt Romney and his son Tagg Romney have been implicated in a 8.5 billion dollar ponzi scheme with Wall Street investors Allen Stanford and James M. Davis.

The pair are not cleared including their three partners in a court document verified, ongoing legal proceeding involving selling fraudulent CD’s to potential investors.

The statement of fact, includes SIBL, Stanford International Bank, SGC Stanford Capital Management and the associates R. Allen Stanford, ( Allen Stanford) and James M. Davis stole money from investors through fraud. The group bilked investors by diverting funds to their own lifestyles through bonus money, salaries and compensation packages.

The Stanford Financial Group now in receivership headed by Allen Stanford sold investments described as a “well-diversified portfolio”. Instead Stanford diverted the money to finance his own lavish lifestyle which include: jet planes, yacht, pleasure crafts, luxury cars, homes, travel on a company credit card.

Tagg Romney

Allen Stanford, James M. Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt through SIBL (the bank) Stanford International Bank) hid the fraud by continuing to buy CD’s (Certificate of Deposit) and fabricated the performance of their investments. (More court documents: HERE) More information on the legal procedures: HERE A court date was set for January 23, 2012 but according to various reports Allen Stanford is incompetent to stand trial.

Mitt Romney and Son Tagg in 2008 invested in Allen Stanford’s ponzi scheme to the tune of 10 million dollars initially in Solamere Capital a seed investment and received 1 million in returns. Tagg Romney joined in to help Solamere Capital located in Charlotte, North Carolina with three other prominent brokers.

Tagg Romney is quoted as saying he was proud of his investment with Solamere now run by former executives of Stanford, ” They’re friends of ours, they used the Solamere name, we own a piece of them”. “We helped them get started”

Despite claims by Tagg and Mitt Romney the investigation is still “ongoing” and the profits from Stanford and Solemere were unreported by Tagg Romney. He also did possess a minority stake in the business with Spencer Zwick and Eric Scheuermann.

Spencer Zwich is Mitt Romney’s Chief Fundraiser. Investors in Stanford have not recovered their money, and the assets are still in receivership and frozen until the case is resolved. A total of 8.5 billion dollars is still unaccounted for and the billion dollar Ponzi scheme lays at Mitt Romney’s feet for his and his son’s investment partners who were all involved.

Curated News

ABC News Politics – Romney Camp Dismissive of Ponzi Accusation

“But according to Think Progress, Tagg Romney’s account isn’t entirely accurate: “According to documents reviewed by ThinkProgess using the Pacer search engine, charges against Tim Bambauer, Deems May, and Brandon Phillips have not been dropped. A recent court filing shows May requesting the court for arbitration instead of going to trial.

ThinkProgress also spoke to the deputy clerk for the federal District Court in Dallas, and confirmed that the three men are still defendants in the lawsuit to recover the Ponzi scheme money.”

Democrats will remember who saved the auto industry, now there is a good laugh. You mean screwed the investors and bought the unions. The auto industry would have done just fine in a court restructuring, but the unions would not have received a gift rapped taxpayer cash infusion. The entire Democratic Party is in bed with the unions.

Obama let Wisconsin fall for selfish reasons. His administration feared the loss, and they did not want any of the stink rubbing off on Obama. Talk about a president that only cares about himself and his well being, Obama epitomizes his self serving political career. Obama wants everyone to cover his back, just don't count on him to do the same for you.

If Obama had a record to run on, he would. If Obama had a record to run on the Democrats would not be running scared. Yes we can had been replaced by why we couldn't. Nothing but a endless parade of excuses and blame from the Democrats, and no solutions. What a fitting legacy for a failed first term, and the country has paid a heavy price for putting their faith in Obama.

Where's the proof that Dems in Wisconsin are "put off" with the president? The main problem was not running ads earlier to counter the ads Walker was running about how the recall itself was somehow unfair. The unions, and maybe the DNC are to blame for not running ads sooner to make this most fundamental case -- Why there should be a recall.

The other miscalculation was the rural areas being affected by the lies about Barrett wanting to take away their guns. The clinging to guns and Bible thing -- now you know it's true.

Also, it seems they didn't take into account Walker carving out cops and firefighters. This may be why they did not get 100% of union support -- per Walker's "divide and conquer" plan. However, I saw an interview of a teacher on FIXED News, and was sad to realize what a ditz she was--It was garbled, but it seemed she was saying Walker would protect union rights. I wouldn't want her teaching my child.

Democrats -- Prepare not only for a late cycle onslaught (the last 30 days before the election). Prepare for the rural appeal with lies from the NRA, not just the Chamber of Commerce and gazillionaires behind the Super PACS. Plan to counter lies from the start, meaning start right now in the state/local elections that will be close. Wisconsin voters made up their minds back in May, and before Barrett was able to do much of anything. You can win with a good ground game even if it's 4 to 1 in spending. Also money has a saturation point, so strategy of when and how money is spent can still matter.

Still, the Dems now have majority control of the Wisconsin state senate. That's pretty good, especially considering the money and early advantage Walker had.

What did they do for the first two years, but to add entitlements to each bill before it was signed, look at the Health care bill, who was the senator that wouldn't get behind it until his state didn't have to pay the medicare mandate?

    I would just like to know with complete control of congress for 2 years, and the last two years of W's rein did they accomplished, the last 2 years of W's he signed almost every bill that the democratic congress sent him. So blame who ever you need to, but remember congress was in control of congress from 2006 - 2010, where do the bills come from, the oval office (I don't think so).

    Vodi, they did NOT have a filibuster free caucus the first two years. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster and they had 60 only a very short time. Don't forget Al Franken wasn't declared the winner until months after the new Senate started. Go check the records, Vodi, the filibusters began for every single vote in Feb 2009. Unlike republicans, democrats do not march in lock step; there are liberal dems, moderate dems and blue dog dems.

They had it for 7 short months - during which time Ted Kennedy was sick (so missing for some of the votes) and there were recesses. President Obama tried to work with the GOP during that time - his mistake - so he had a VERY SHORT time with a "filibuster proof" majority. Do your homework.

    SpeekingInSanity, You are a never ending web of self-contradictions. You attack, attack and name-call as often as possible and then when "called on it" you try to escape into your little fantasy world. You proved my point rather quickly calling Vodi "a liar" and then trying ever-so-desperately to lay a put-down on me ..... referring to my "ignorance".

    But you are amusing ! Kirk "owned you" in a debate and it has messed your mind so badly that you now weakly try to pretend that I am Kirk. Hey, whatever YOU want to believe becomes reality.

    Vodi, you're wrong. Bush may have signed every bill sent but they were compromises by democrats or have you forgotten the battle for Iraq war dollars. He threatened to veto many bills that democrats wanted to pass such as the Veteran's benefits bill, Lilly Ledbetter, tax increases to pay for his wars, etc. Those bills waited to be passed until 2009 and believe it or not, there were a few republicans such as Snowe, Collins, Specter who joined democrats to do the right thing.

    Concern, I'm not a flame thrower, never have been, never will be--that's me, that's who I am but I do not expect other FR posters to be like me, including my liberal friends. I find it interesting that you tend to single out Feisty Redhead for some odd reason or is it simply because you have read other conservatives nasty comments to her, so you decided to join in the fray? Perhaps if you didn't engage in following what other conservatives who attack her do, you might be surprised at the discussion you could have.

    Why didn't the President actively campaign in the recall election for Mayor Barrett?

    The answer is simple...

    It was "All Risk, No Reward" for the President to get involved in this personally. Think about it...he won Wisconsin by 14 points in 2008. What does he or his campaign gain by campaigning? What does he or his campaign gain from a victory by Mayor Barrett? The answer is "NOTHING".

    ...but if he does get involved personally and Mayor Barrett loses then he and his campaign lose much, much more.

    Obama failing to campaign in WI in support of Barrett shows that Obama is only concerned about himself and not his party and it shows a lack of the leadership qualities I keep saying that Obama lacks.

    BTW, this was over the public employee unions issue and the exit polls showed that 36% of union households voted for Walker. Also San Jose and San Diego CA also passed initiatives requiring changes in their public employee unions pension plans. Taxpayers are tired of shelling out money to public employee union members in the form of retirement age, and health benefits which are far superior to the private sector.

It was Barrett and the unions that needed the help, but Obama was no where to be seen, except he did fly over the state a day or two before the election, couldn't take a couple of hours on the ground, needed to get to New York to fund raise. Obama threw Barrett under the bus, just like he will try and throw Clinton and Summers under the bus for calling for an extension of the Bush/Obama tax cuts.

    Wisconsin is the first ripple of the realization spreading through Democrats across the country that Obama is divisive and incompetent. JFK, despite his faults, was probably the last Democrat president we have had that was truly capable of shrugging off the inevitable attacks, calming the conflicts, and inspiring all Americans to put their differences aside and work toward common goals. By contrast, Obama has fought bitterly against those who would criticize him, ignited conflict, and emphasized the differences among us.

    Even MSNBC has reported: "In 2008, Barack Obama, as a presidential candidate, made changing that culture (of divisiveness) a signature objective; if anything, it has grown more dysfunctional during his presidency."

The divisive group is the GOP - they can't stand real leadership or strength - as is obvious with their selection of Romney and, in the past, Bush.

    The Republicans have done everything in their power to divide this country - then whine "It's Obama's fault."

    Sanity - I live in the world where Obama used a racially charged pejorative that no other national leaders would ever be able to get by with (as far as the Elite Media are concerned). He said: "Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, "we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

    You need to face the reality that, for whatever reason, Obama has been a total failure at bringing people together.

    Heap blame and scorn on whomever you now consider to be your mortal enemy: GOP, Liberals, Tea Party, Rich, Poor, it doesn't matter. It is the very fact that we are so divided that must be laid at Obama's feet.

    Kannin. Baloney, it is the GOP that has driven this country apart with their cultural/social wars, their intolerance, their extremist views, their refusal to compromise on anything. If today's GOP existed in 1776, we'd still be flying the British flag. The political divide began prior to Gingrich but he did the most damage. Now you may not want to hear that but it is the truth. Perhaps you can explain why the GOP announced not long after Inauguration Day in 2009, that their number one goal was to make President Obama a one-term president? Perhaps you'd care to explain why a stimulus package in 2009 was different from all the GOP presidential stimulus packages in times of far less economic hardship? Perhaps you'd like to explain why those things the GOP used to support suddenly became reason for filibuster because President Obama suggested it? That's hardly reaching across the aisle. Let's place blame where it squarely belongs and it is not President Obama.

    Uh, dude, that ACTUALLY happened...

    Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) voted against the stimulus package but appear in person to present a check for $2M of stimulus money to help build the Bethlehem Community Volunteer Fire Department a new fire station.

    Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA) voted against the stimulus package but appeared at a ceremonial ground-breaking for a new sewage-treatment plant that was paid for in part by $12.1M in stimulus funds.

    Rep. Geoff Davis (R-KY) voted against the stimulus package but issued a press release on December 16, 2009 that read, "Congressman Geoff Davis is pleased to announce that the Carroll County School District has been awarded $1,044,140 in funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) Early Head Start Expansion Program." Ironically, on the same day, Davis issued a press release that read, "On what was likely to be the final day of votes in the House of Representatives for 2009, Speaker Nancy Pelosi forced passage of a $150 billion extension of her failed trillion dollar Stimulus bill that was enacted in February." (So, it was "failed" but you happily took the money anyway???)

    Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) voted against the stimulus package but appeard in person to hand over a check for $625K in stimulus funds to Cedartown, GA for new sidewalks.

    Don't you see the problem here? If the GOP wants to be opposed to the stimulus that's one thing...but it's hypocrisy to then proudly give and take the money...and if it pisses off the GOP that the President chose to call them out well then that's just too damn bad.

Despite that, and an 800 lb gorilla on his back named the GOP, he has managed to make positive strides. Hiring is up.

      Oh please - the GOP already blasted Obama for what little support he gave Wisconsin Democrats, which was virtually nothing. The idiot right-wingers would have had pooped a brick if he had done more than he did. Get over it, nothing to see here.

      To the people of America!! especially Democrats, DON'T start acting like republicans, blaming President Obama for everything. President Obama has NEVER stumped for a republican, he's NEVER told any democrat to vote for a republican. The people of Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, & dumbass Florida, AGAIN!! choose to have republicans rule over them. The WORLD saw what republican rules will do to the country, COLLAPSE IT!! and the voters put those same people back incharge....So, don't blame the President, blame yourself....

      The plain and simple truth is...we cannot afford to put republicons in office. They drove us to a DEPRESSION (for many). I suppose the ones still voting republicon must as GAINED from the misfortune of the ones who lost. NEXT time, there will be MANY many more unfortunate and even a DEMOCRAT wont be able to pull us out of it. A vote for Romney and people like Walker is a SURE VOTE for the downfall of our country. And I am now ashamed to say MY Catholic Church has a hand in it too. Dirty politics makes for a dirty church.

          A penny for their wish. Even many Republicans in Wisconsin prefer Obama over Romney-lies. Democrats don't believe that Obama should have spent political capital on such a risky undertaking. The media, of course, are conflict oriented and quick-bite feeders. The word "journalism" is slang these days.

                Hey, fiesty redhead (FatAss Deadhead) - looks like you've been outed. And bested in Wisconsin too. Buh Bye to you and your POS leader in November. Maybe you should put down the computer and start looking for a real job. Maybe Odumbo will support you on his own dime when welfare drops you. Ya think?

                Reince Priebus is dead on. The snow ball really started rolling last night. Just think about the landslide it will be by November.

                After the right-wing avalanche buries America, it will take the union to dig her out of the GOP debt and devastation. Not union? Don't complain about your low wages and job insecurity.

                It isn't the unions, but the corruption of the wealthy in Greece who never paid their taxes. Same as in America. Rich cheats.
