Classic case of politics as usual, as Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu, the same candidate who recently pushed the Republican Keystone Pipeline travesty to a vote in Congress, is now appealing to the Democrats in her state to save her.
In a new ad, Landrieu is heard praising the successes of the president, while warning the voters that if her Republican opponent wins the run off election next week, then President Obama will be impeached.
From the ad:
I’m Mary Landrieu, candidate for Senate, and I approve this message.
This is Congressman Cedric Richmond. Have you heard the crazy stuff Bill Cassidy, Bobby Jindal, and the Republicans are always saying about President Obama? They have shown our president so much disrespect. They said he wasn’t a U.S. citizen, they even sued him – and if Cassidy wins, they will impeach him. Do you remember when the stock market was at 7,000? Now it’s at 17,000, but they say the economy is horrible. Do you remember how bad the unemployment numbers were under the Republicans? Now, unemployment claims are lower then they have been in 14 years. The president needs you to have his back – now, more than ever.
Now, while I agree that Democrats should always run on their successes when campaigning for another term in office, Landrieu’s coming to the light moment seems a tad bit suspicious. I’ll still urge Louisiana voters to support her in the election, but I cringe at the lack of sincerity and obvious politics being played here.
