This was the message from the Democrat, Frank Ceprio, who is running for Governor in Rhode Island to the President. President Obama was to be the one to bring us all together yet it seems, and this Democrat voiced it, that he is a very divisive person who is only concerned with one person and that is himself.
When people lose respect for a person it is one thing but when they lose respect for an Office, President, US Senate, or the House of Representatives, we have a serious problem with leadership in this country.

Apparently Caprio wanted to get some attention and he must have figured saying something like that directed towards the President would do just that! I don't think it means a heck of a lot. Democrats don't all suck up to each other and march in lockstep. To my understanding, President Obama and Lincoln Chafee, who had been a Republican but switched to an Independent, had become close friends when they served in the Senate together. Chafee probably got run out of the GOP because he had the nerve to be friends with the enemy...lol! To those of you too young to remember, that sort of thing was once quite common. Anyway, could it possibly be the President was reluctant to endorse someone over his good friend and maybe thought it would be best to let the Democratic candidate know in advance so there wouldn't be any awkwardness if the two had appeared together?
I'll bet that would be an easy spin if we were discussing two Republicans!

Sure they do Annie. This year they're just pretending not to since the public isn't too thrilled with Obama anymore. It was quite the opposite in 2008 and 2009 when Obama was the cool kid on the playground.

I think Ceprio did the right thing he proable won more votes by telling Obama to shove it than anything else.....I know if I lived in Rhode Island I would vote for him just on that alone....It's about time someone told Obama where to get off....

He is just one of many. The democrats are avoiding 0bama like the plague... they don't want to be associated with him or his failed policies, although those very same democrats had no problem voting for those failed policies at the time.
Now that election time is here, they don't want people to associate them with 0bama... and they darn sure don't want 0bama supporting them.
The problem is that there is no current leadership in this country. 0bama is not a leader, and never has been. He has always either been a part of a team and a follower, never a leader.
Every one of his policies is a failure.
