His poll numbers are diving, he just gave a State of the Union address that even his own supporters panned as flat, and with three years left to run the country he's fending off the term "lame duck."
So as Democrats fight to keep control of the Senate and make gains in the House, are they giving President Obama the cold shoulder?

Over the past six months, the president only has visited two states -- North Carolina and Louisiana -- where a vulnerable Senate Democrat is facing a tough race. And none of the states Obama was visiting on his latest two-day tour have Senate Democrats up for reelection in the fall.
The president's itinerary has led to Republican jeers that vulnerable and moderate Democrats are intentionally avoiding him, keeping their distance as they try to hold their seats in November.
Democrats themselves aren't exactly challenging that narrative.
In an interview shortly after Tuesday's State of the Union address, Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, said bluntly: "If [Obama] wants to come up, I'm not really interested in campaigning."
Begich also put out a statement saying he was "disappointed" that Obama did not address drilling and domestic energy in his speech.
The comments were the latest reminder that in an election year where the president's controversial health care law and other policies are expected to factor heavily in Republican ads, some Democrats would rather go it alone.read the rest of the story HERE and view 2 related videos beloW:
Of course the UNDERLYING QUESTION IS...Why are these Democrats vulnerable....ONE WORD...'OBAMACARE'...THEIR BABY...ALL BY THEIR LONESOME...
Now WHAT Republican Congressmen/Congresswomen is STUPID ENOUGH to want to help the Democrats change the subject before the mid-tem elections? We shall see...hopefully, we won't!
