“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

Are the Democrats abandoning President Obama?

Hmmmmmmm!!  I'd heard that the Democrats were looking for a new Presidential campaign slogan, bit this?
This is for real.  What an inspiring message for supporters of President Obama, coming up on the 2012 election campaign.  Instead of running on his achievements (which is a very short, unimpressive list), they focus on what he's not.  Abandoning the incumbent in all but name is not a sound re-election strategy.  Which is why I'm glad to see them take it.
Hot Air has more thoughts about this.
UPDATE: It was pointed out to me that it's likely that the President will still get a lot of votes, in the "hold your nose" school of thought.  But this message is not likely to pull in new voters, nor is it likely to excite his base.  If nothing else, they are abandoning his "accomplishments". 
UPDATE II:  I added the danger quotes, because President Obama has just about zero accomplishments.
