Nothing weird about Obama's stumping

This is in response to the letter criticizing President Obama's travels in support of Democratic candidates.

If the person who wrote this letter would take the time to look back at history through the past few presidents she would see that this is something they all did at midterm elections. Their responsibility is to try and have a Congress that will work with him and support his agenda.

The right wing media has done a great job of tearing down our president with lies, and many of the gullible voters have bought into it. But the way our country is headed these days we only know how to criticize Obama at every turn. We have a president who is trying to right the country for all the people not just the chosen few.

If the preceding president had spent the time and dollars on doing this rather than wasting it on an unnecessary war then we would not have the debt that is there today and so many families would not be mourning their lost loved ones.
