The Scolder In Chief Role Is Backfiring

Via Weasel Zippers, citing this article from The Hill:

High-profile liberals say President Obama's attempts to badger Democrats into voting will not work this November.

Jane Hamsher, founder of the blog FireDogLake.com, told The Hill in an email Friday that the strategy being employed by the White House as polls show a Republican landslide looming is the wrong way to go.

“Hectoring your supporters doesn't work, and it never has,” Hamsher said. “And anyone with as much campaign experience as Obama and [Vice President] Biden knows that, which is why you never saw them do it in their own races.”

Obama and Biden have in recent weeks repeatedly pressed the voters who propelled them into office in 2008 to get off the sidelines, with Biden going as far as to jokingly, but repeatedly, insult those voters at his rallies....

As I said at WZ: But he’s incapable of any other action or attitude — he’s that full of himself. And he gets ugly when he thinks he’s going to lose.

Here's to hoping that BHO's scoldings keep absent from the voting booth those who vote for the Democratic Party.
