Video: Obama phones it in for Coakley
posted at 4:10 pm on January 14, 2010 by Allahpundit
Behold the palpable excitement of The One at being dragged into yet another state race on behalf of yet another almost impossibly awful Democratic candidate. This isn’t as terrible an idea as it seems: It’s not running on TV, where it would irritate independents, but merely online and in the inboxes of liberals on OFA’s mailing list. Everything depends on turnout, remember, so this should help get a few extra O-bots out to the polls. Besides, even Rasmussen found 52 percent support for ObamaCare among Massachusetts likely voters, so a pitch explicitly premised on passing the bill isn’t insane. Although it sure is hard to square with watching Brown’s numbers rise day by day as he runs around telling anyone who’ll listen that he’ll be the 41st vote to kill it.
To show you how much firepower the left has been forced to use on this race, note that Obama’s only the second Democratic president to weigh in. The Clenis has already booked his ticket to campaign with Coakley on Friday. All we need now is some CGI animation of JFK and St. Teddy in heaven with Jesus talking about how people should, er, ah, vote for Mah-tha. (In lieu of that, Teddy’s widow is cutting an ad now too.) Exit question: Hey, did you know that Scott Brown actually owns a time-share? Bastard.

PLEASE SEND SCOTT BROWN $$$$$$$$$!
OmahaConservative on January 14, 2010 at 4:12 PM
Who doesn’t own a time share anymore?/
upinak on January 14, 2010 at 4:12 PM
What the hell? That’s an ad for Brown.
Chuck Schick on January 14, 2010 at 4:12 PM
Fraud. Liar. Creepy freak.
marklmail on January 14, 2010 at 4:13 PM
Steve Kornacki quoted by Jim Geraghty: “Coakley’s internal poll last night, I’ve been told, showed her barely ahead, 46 to 44 percent. The momentum clearly favors Brown, and one very smart Massachusetts Democrat I know told me this morning that “this may be too far gone to recover.” So I was wrong: Brown may actually win.”
tims472 on January 14, 2010 at 4:13 PM
Well, that settles it!
Kookley is getting my vote, then. /
OmahaConservative on January 14, 2010 at 4:13 PM
I’m not sure if the Dems are just oblivious or if they’re actively trying to throw this election.
teke184 on January 14, 2010 at 4:13 PM
Obama: “You think I’m going to tape a television ad for Coackley when she’s propbably going to lose? Have you seen my numbers lately?”
kingsjester on January 14, 2010 at 4:13 PM
I have a time share. Should I run?/
upinak on January 14, 2010 at 4:14 PM
What does Coakley own? I’m sure we’ll never know.
LASue on January 14, 2010 at 4:15 PM
NRO is saying Coakley’s internal polls have her by just 2. I’m as big as a pessimist as AP but maybe this is looking doable.
I donated today and am spreading the word.
Chuck Schick on January 14, 2010 at 4:15 PM
Hey, his jacket matches his lips. Always a sure sign he’s lying.
txsurveyor on January 14, 2010 at 4:16 PM
How about a CGI animation of Teddy in hell begging for a Brown vote so that he can cool off.
farright on January 14, 2010 at 4:16 PM
So let me get this straight: President Obama’s supremely awesome powers of oratorial persuasion are being used to make an ad pitch targeted exclusively to Democrats.
In other words, the Democratic Party is convinced that having Obama appeal to Independents and Republicans would end up losing more votes than they gain.
Just another reminder of how awesomely bipartisan our president is.
jwolf on January 14, 2010 at 4:16 PM
From what I understand, the Democrats were in the lead in VA and NJ up until election day.
Holger on January 14, 2010 at 4:16 PM
Clinton also provided videotaped testimony to a grand jury. How’d that work out for him?
UltimateBob on January 14, 2010 at 4:17 PM
With or w/o a time share you should run. You have a qualification most dem pols don’t have–a working brain.
OmahaConservative on January 14, 2010 at 4:18 PM
What about Jimmy!?!
bitsy on January 14, 2010 at 4:18 PM
Has anyone done an expose on how much Ms. Coakley’s outfits and shoes have cost?
txag92 on January 14, 2010 at 4:18 PM
Hopefully it will work out as well as it did for Corzine in NJ
xler8bmw on January 14, 2010 at 4:19 PM
Be careful! Ms. Coakley may have someone come and knock you over too!
search4truth on January 14, 2010 at 4:19 PM
NJ maybe, not VA. Deeds was DOA for weeks beforehand if not more.
Chuck Schick on January 14, 2010 at 4:19 PM
“Coakley will work hard to represent working families” –
unless that work would require her to shake hands!! Outside!! In the COLD!!!! WITH THOSE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE WHO GO TO FENWAY PARK!!
Argghhh!
LASue on January 14, 2010 at 4:20 PM
Soetoro could hold his birth certificate in one hand & the severed head of OBL in the other & it still wouldn’t help.
BHO Jonestown on January 14, 2010 at 4:20 PM
Sure, who else did an Obama ad/campaign helped?
City of Chicago? Deeds? Corzine?……Any one, um. Bueller?
Sir Napsalot on January 14, 2010 at 4:20 PM
You’re Monty Burns compared to me.
Chuck Schick on January 14, 2010 at 4:20 PM
The Coakley campaign reminds me of a hockey team that’s blown a 5 goal lead and is now heading, shell-shocked, to OT.
Sweet.
Bruno Strozek on January 14, 2010 at 4:20 PM
Excuse me, but isn’t this merely preaching to the choir?
OmahaConservative on January 14, 2010 at 4:21 PM
I’m starting to believe he’s going to pull this off.
Knucklehead on January 14, 2010 at 4:21 PM
“Without total control I can’t change America into the country I want… Don’t let me lose that 60th vote!”
WhoU4 on January 14, 2010 at 4:22 PM
Yeah, but you don’t look like Homer and I have more hair then Monty.
upinak on January 14, 2010 at 4:23 PM
We all live in Los Angeles too. Brown’s going to get alot more outside dollars than Coakley will. Anger and disgust is a good motivator.
Chuck Schick on January 14, 2010 at 4:23 PM
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS! GIVE MONEY!
marklmail on January 14, 2010 at 4:23 PM
Are you sure that is Jesus? I don’t think Jesus has horns and a tail.
MB4 on January 14, 2010 at 4:24 PM
Hi, I’m Barack Obama and I’m lying through my teeth once again!
GarandFan on January 14, 2010 at 4:24 PM
I heard that Obama or Biden will be going to MA this weekend, is this true?
deidre on January 14, 2010 at 4:25 PM
This should boost Brown’s votes.
ObamatheMessiah on January 14, 2010 at 4:25 PM
Wow, that was really said with feeling…..NOT.
rockmom on January 14, 2010 at 4:25 PM
The Bottom Line???
No matter what the outcome, Brown has WON a major victory in this race.
If a Republican can erase a double-digit lead and cause the fraud to come out of hiding to campaign, HE WON!
Now, let’s hope and pray louder!
GoldenEagle4444 on January 14, 2010 at 4:26 PM
Almost every middle class famiy in New England owns a time share or has a relative who lends them their’s. Please do not mock this. :)
jeanie on January 14, 2010 at 4:26 PM
I think she owns SEIC and ACORN.
No wait, I think I have that backwards.
MB4 on January 14, 2010 at 4:26 PM
Given much trouble and money pits time-shares are, owning one should get Brown some sympathy votes.
katiejane on January 14, 2010 at 4:26 PM
Yes, but turnout on election day is key, and the Dems need that choir to go out and vote. So this is Obama trying to fire up the base. Apparently, even in Massachusetts (!!) he is not popular enough to be used on the general population.
jwolf on January 14, 2010 at 4:26 PM
Dang MA, you have socialized health care, you do NOT need force the other states to jump in the same sh*t you are in.
WashJeff on January 14, 2010 at 4:27 PM
Already have. Twice.
If you’re in Mass., vote on Tuesday.
Call 15 of your friends and make sure they Vote too.
Then ask them to call 15 more.
Rinse and repeat.
Turnout is everything. VOTE!
BacaDog on January 14, 2010 at 4:27 PM
He really is getting creepier by the day.
SouthernGent on January 14, 2010 at 4:27 PM
Gosh he is so good at reading stuff people write for him. I wonder how his workout is going right now.
Trusser13 on January 14, 2010 at 4:27 PM
Its’ a shame that Brown owns a timeshare in Aruba and Pinnochios’ half brother owns a 6′ x6′ hut in Kenya.
I guess Brown should give Pinnochios’ half brother $24.00 so he can triple his yearly income!
dhunter on January 14, 2010 at 4:27 PM
Yeah, because independent voters don’t use the internet.
The comments on the President’s youtube page for the video are astonishingly critical of him.
poplicola on January 14, 2010 at 4:28 PM
Executive summary for those who don’t want to listen to Obama talk about himself:
“Guys, seriously, come on. You’re going to make me look like a douche and stop me from taxing you and your family back to the Stone Age. Vote for Coakley.”
Chuck Schick on January 14, 2010 at 4:29 PM
The internal WH polls must be terrible too. Otherwise the One would not waste a second to get up there and share in the glow of winning.
jukin on January 14, 2010 at 4:29 PM
+1
OmahaConservative on January 14, 2010 at 4:30 PM
Nice little timeshare you have there. Hate to have something happen to it…………………
BacaDog on January 14, 2010 at 4:31 PM
Preemptive strike by Brown back on December 29.

Obama: “You are probably wondering why I have called you all here tonight……”
portlandon on January 14, 2010 at 4:32 PM
Heh. He said “Clenis.” Heh. Heh heh. Hm. Heh heh.
OhioCoastie on January 14, 2010 at 4:32 PM
Is it at the Kennedy Compound?
ThePrez on January 14, 2010 at 4:33 PM
Done! Finally got through.
Fake8 on January 14, 2010 at 4:33 PM
I called 3 of my friends in Massachusetts, all of them union members, and all are voting for Brown.
farright on January 14, 2010 at 4:33 PM
Scott Brown improves in the Polls.
Um… what does he expect to happen?
gekkobear on January 14, 2010 at 4:33 PM
The voters in Mass. remind me of the scene in the movie animal house were Keven Bacon is getting whacked and every time he gets hit he says thank you sir may i have another.The people in that state keep electing Libs year after year and keep getting higher taxes more broken promises.It seem to me they just want to keep getting screwed over and over. Can anyone explain it to me???
thmcbb on January 14, 2010 at 4:34 PM
Brown is so clean the libs have to highlight his ownership of a time-share?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Bishop on January 14, 2010 at 4:34 PM
How many times did Barry say “I’m” or “me” in that video?
Good grief, the lies that man spews.
Knucklehead on January 14, 2010 at 4:34 PM
It took me a while to figure that one out. I thought it was a bit too low, even for Clinton.
jwolf on January 14, 2010 at 4:35 PM
Hey Odumbo, will the ballot counting be on c-span.
rjoco1 on January 14, 2010 at 4:36 PM
I have one in Cancun – sell it to ya cheap! ;)
Midas on January 14, 2010 at 4:36 PM
LOL
Understand that I’m not complaining – but Why couldn’t have posted that earlier – before I had to listen to that …. drivel.
Juno77 on January 14, 2010 at 4:36 PM
Pathetic isn’t it.
BREAKING NEWS: BROWN USED TAXPAYER MONEY TO HEP PAY FOR HIS RENTAL HOMES!
(fine print: he itemized his taxes and used the interest deduction)
BacaDog on January 14, 2010 at 4:37 PM
Seconded. Turnout is everything right now.
Election fraud may not be an issue here as this was supposed to be a secure state and a secure seat. You have to register two weeks before an election to vote in it so they can’t manufacture voters all of a sudden.
It is about our level of turn out, their level of turnout and the fake voters they got on the books which probably is not a lot.
Holger on January 14, 2010 at 4:38 PM
My mother’s old school conservative family in MA will be voting for Brown.
Urban Infidel on January 14, 2010 at 4:38 PM
Teddy is alive and well.
txag92 on January 14, 2010 at 4:39 PM
Does he look like Barney the Dinosaur with a tie now or what?
Americannodash on January 14, 2010 at 4:39 PM
Seeing this blatant, prolific liar face-on like this is creepy and nauseating. I can only pray it has the same effect on others who see it. Maybe spreading it around would have that reverse effect?
paul1149 on January 14, 2010 at 4:40 PM
Yes, but that is sort-of the point. This is targeted to the people who would like to see her win, but are still on the fence about getting to the polls to actually pull the lever.
Joe Caps on January 14, 2010 at 4:40 PM
yes, but voting decisions need to be ‘reinforced’ after they’re initially made. Any good campaign ‘activates’ potential voters and also reinforces them.
look at McCain 2008 for an example of neither happening……
Janos Hunyadi on January 14, 2010 at 4:40 PM
Obama is a deceiver, a dissembler
His Mom trousers are alight
From what pole or banner
Shall they dangle in the night?
What infernal serpent
Has lent him his forked tongue?
From what pit of foul deceit
Have all his whoppers sprung?
PercyB on January 14, 2010 at 4:40 PM
“As a 4th grader, Scott Brown once pushed another child AND he never actually sang during the school choir concert, he just mimed the words. Do you want this man as your senator?”
Bishop on January 14, 2010 at 4:41 PM
+10
OhioCoastie on January 14, 2010 at 4:41 PM
Watching this debacle unfold for Coakley, this is the movie scene it reminds me of
keep up the pressure
four more days
turfmann on January 14, 2010 at 4:42 PM
I clicked over to the video link on You Tube… they’ve disabled the rating. Probably won’t be too long until they disable comments. Obama is getting blasted.
behiker on January 14, 2010 at 4:42 PM
LOL did you see this?
It says it is based on census data from 2008, but it keeps going up. I wonder how they are calculating that…
Joe Caps on January 14, 2010 at 4:42 PM
Well, I suppose, if we were mean spirited people, we could reminisce About Kennedy’s water front compound on the Cape, or maybe his home in Florida?
jeanie on January 14, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Obama: “Help us take back the country”
HELLO! YOU HAVE MAJORITIES IN THE HOUSE SENATE AND YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT!!!
dip it in cider on January 14, 2010 at 4:43 PM
Not sure. Good Question… as the abortion’s can’t be counted. Maybe they expect people to be asexual and POOP there is a child.
upinak on January 14, 2010 at 4:43 PM
So, like, anybody want to buy a timeshare? Please?
rogersnowden on January 14, 2010 at 4:44 PM
Oh geez…. the rebuttal ads almost write themselves!
In the meantime, you’d hope a smart cookie could get someone into that Clinton event and start asking about his mistress and how he sabotaged HRC’s campaign and just make his appearance a general circus! Not that Clinton isn’t his own circus, but you should always enjoy a bit of rebellion!
2nd Ammendment Mother on January 14, 2010 at 4:45 PM
Hah, Obama phoned it in?
So did Teddy, from hell.
Schadenfreude on January 14, 2010 at 4:45 PM
If O’Bama was not a Christian, I would really be worried!
jsunrise on January 14, 2010 at 4:47 PM
Allah has a timeshare in the Bahamas for his cats. Bastard.
Haiti will take the country’s eye off the ball for a month or so, what, with all the ‘Save Haiti’ Specials with gazillonaires begging US for money, and, of course, the new season of Idol.
Meanwhile, the dems will continue to work behind closed doors with the union and Rahm’s obama blow up doll to solidify this bag of crap.
And, why the hell are we even surprised at this~he ‘phoned’ it in during his last two jobs~’Present’.
HornetSting on January 14, 2010 at 4:47 PM
If there is a God, please let Brown win so we can take this country back!
SDarchitect on January 14, 2010 at 4:48 PM
SORRY, WRONG NUMBER!
bloggless on January 14, 2010 at 4:48 PM
Forgot to reference source – see video on Drudge – they really are desperate enough to get Teddy from hell.
Schadenfreude on January 14, 2010 at 4:48 PM
Who the hell thought Teddy was in heaven? Mary Jo doesn’t think so.
mixplix on January 14, 2010 at 4:48 PM
Aw – didn’t Prez. ZerO have enough time to give a shout out to all the vegetables in the White House before wrapping this propaganda piece? Poor old little rat faced Rahmsputin must be burning the candle at both ends these days.
MayorDaley on January 14, 2010 at 4:49 PM
Obama just gave Croakley an excuse for her upcoming loss. She can now argue that it was Obama’s high negatives that lost her the race.
Bottom line is, she must be in panic mode to allow somebody with as high or higher negatives than she has to campaign for her.
Whoever allowed this to happen is on par with McCain’s campaign manager (Steve Schmidt) for complete buffoonery.
ConservativeTony on January 14, 2010 at 4:50 PM
This video is outstanding and will pull Dem’s out by the thousands on Tuesday to elect this intelligent, brilliant and beautiful woman.
……BleedsBlue
Knucklehead on January 14, 2010 at 4:50 PM
I just want Allah to have another excuse to give us a humpbot.
HornetSting on January 14, 2010 at 4:51 PM
Aww, you are a wicked, wicked woman!
LMAO!
HornetSting on January 14, 2010 at 4:51 PM
The only thing I hear about time shares are that they are a rip off and you can’t get rid of them once you’ve been roped in. Don’t these people listen to Clark Howard?
