Since becoming President, Barack Obama and his team have found some way to make anything and everything that happens in the world – from American Idol to March Madness to the Superbowl – all about Obama.
In Tuesday’s crushing Democrat electoral defeats, though, the White House has finally found something that they don’t think has anything to do with Obama. Strangely, the elections they maintain had absolutely nothing to do with Obama prominently featured the President at every step. Hey, it’s Robert Gibbs. No one said it had to make any sense.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Wednesday that voters went to the polls in Virginia and New Jersey to work through “very local issues that didn’t involve the president.” The presidential spokesman said voters were concerned about the economy.
It doesn’t sound like even state-run AP is buying it.
Republicans turned aside Democratic candidates in both Virginia and New Jersey, raising questions about the limits of the president’s influence on his party’s base of support and on the moderate lawmakers he needs to advance his legislative priorities.

The president had campaigned for both Corzine and Deeds in recent days.
Luckily for Republicans and conservatives, which will hopefully stop existing as two separate groups in the next year, it sounds like the President has learned absolutely nothing from the voters’ strong rebuke.
The White House sees no need to recalibrate its legislative agenda or message based on the results of the governors’ races or the swing of independents in this election toward the GOP, Gibbs said. And he expressed no concern that the election results will make conservative Democrats on Capitol Hill more skittish toward backing the president’s agenda as they head toward their own re-election bids in 2010.
