Will Ron Barber Campaign With President Obama?

With New White House Political Office In Place, Why Not Send Obama A Formal Request?

WASHINGTON – What more could a candidate for Congress ask for than a visit from the President of the United States?

With news that the White House is relaunching a political office to help pave the way for electoral successes in 2014, you have to wonder: Will Ron Barber invite President Obama to campaign with him?

The National Republican Congressional Committee has drafted a letter (see below) so that Barber can easily request the President visit his district – all Barber has to do is sign it. Will he?

“Since the White House is gearing up for the 2014 election, Ron Barber should take advantage and request the President come campaign with him,” said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “After all, Democrats have said they’ll campaign on ObamaCare – why not campaign with President Obama himself? If Barber is proud of his support for Obama’s policies, he’ll sign the letter and proudly campaign arm-in-arm with the President.”
