NOLA No Show
Sen. Mary Landrieu passes on Obama appearance.
Barack Obama spent Friday campaigning (shocking, we know) in New Orleans. Obama was joined in flight by Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA). However, Landrieu wasn’t present for Obama’s stump speech, claiming a “long-standing engagement in Lake Charles.” Here’s the irony: Landrieu this week presented a bill “that will allow individuals to keep their health insurance if they want even if it doesn’t meet minimum benefits under the Affordable Care Act.” Clearly, Obama is now a liability to any Demo who faces serious challengers in 2014, including Landrieu’s likely challenger, Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA.).
