MSNBC's butter and egg man, Ed "Boom Boom" Schultz has just issued a "call" for President Obama to go to Wisconsin and get involved in the recall election against Republican Governor Scott Walker due to take place June 5.
Of course, to someone like Schultz, it would never be unseemly for a sitting president to try and take part in an effort to unseat a sitting governor via a recall. (I remember when former president Bill Clinton came to California to beg us not to recall Gray Davis-we did anyway. Of course, that led to You-Know-Who becoming governor.)
(Be careful what you wish for.)
But no. Ed, speaking directly to Obama in the second person, implored him to go to Wisconsin. The people were calling out for him, said Big Ed. (Actually, according to the latest polls, the "people" are going to reject the recall.)
Of course, what Ed is really hoping for, in addition to Obama going to Wisconsin, is for the unions to keep organizing all those protests by "The People" taking over the state capitol in Madison.
Or union goons from the SEIU et al intimidating people to vote for the recall.
"Whaddaya mean youse not going to vote for da recall?"
Or ACORN types (whatever their new name is) registering non-existent, out of state - or dead voters to flood the election with phony votes. Of course, if the Community Organizer in Chief gets involved, he can bring all that with him.
Mr. President. Don't listen to boobs like Ed Schultz.Stay home.

I agree. The president should stay home. We're going to vote the way we're going to vote, but its no business of the president. Its also no business of the out of state billionaires who've been giving Scott Walker tens of millions of dollars to fund his campaign. Its no business of Ed Schultz either.
The recall may fail. Call me Cassandra. I've been asking for weeks why anyone thinks the way to top off a recall campaign with success is to run the same guy against Walker that lost to him in November 2010.
If the recall fails, it will be because it got hijacked by the Democratic Party. Marco Rubio wisely observed after winning election to the U.S. Senate, "this isn't a mandate, its a second chance." But most Democrats, and most Republicans, think popular dissatisfaction means "the people are turning back to the tired losing hash we were slinging just before our last disastrous defeat!" B.S.
I'll drag myself out to vote for Barrett. After all, he's not Scott Walker. That's a very low bar.
Obama would be as effective in unseating Walker as he was in bringing the Olympis to Chicago.
They have an empty suit who can read a TelePrompTer and they think that will create a utopia here on earth .... Free medical care, free food stamps, free retirement, free stuff, all from Obama's stash. Nobody has to pay for it, it is just there and you have to get your share. (It also happens to be the Malik Ali theory of economics. )

Miggie, do you find reassurance in hearing yourself say everything twice?
"...just the place for a snark, I have said it twice, that alone should encourage the crew, just the place for a snark, I have said it thrice, what I tell you three times is true."
But it was a boojum.
