Senator Landrieu is 97% for Obama, But Totally Against Him

Senator Mary Landrieu is against Obama before she was for Obama and then she was against him. And then for him. Also Maria Cantwell and her windmills. It all depends on her audience.


Depending on whose vote she’s after, Mary Landrieu either stands with Barack Obama — or hardly knows the guy.

The Louisiana Democrat, who is trailing in the polls ahead of Saturday’s Senate runoff, has been quietly running ads on urban radio stations that criticize the GOP’s treatment of the country’s first black president, while her aides and surrogates have boasted to predominantly black audiences of how often she’s supported him.

Meanwhile, when addressing mostly white audiences, Landrieu has been adamant that the election has nothing to do with Obama, and that she can think for herself.

This election has nothing to do with Obama except when it does. Senator Landrieu can think for herself… except when she can’t.


In a 60-second spot that emerged Monday, Rep. Cedric Richmond, a black congressman who represents the New Orleans area, warns that the GOP will impeach Obama if Landrieu’s Republican challenger, Bill Cassidy, wins this weekend.

“They have shown our president so much disrespect,” Richmond says. “They said he wasn’t a U.S. citizen, they even sued him and, if Cassidy wins, they will impeach him. … The president needs you to have his back now more than ever.”

The pro-Obama radio ad was first reported by BuzzFeed. Landrieu’s campaign did not circulate it to the press, and a spokesman declined to comment on the record for this story.

Hiding your black campaign ads like a dirty little secret seems a little disrespectful.


Her television commercials on general-interest stations have said “she took on the president.”

Now Senator Landrieu is disrespecting Obama.


Landrieu’s chief of staff, meanwhile, bragged to a roomful of African-Americans at a recent event that his boss votes with Obama 97 percent of the time and will continue to support the president’s agenda if reelected, according to a hidden-camera video released by the Black Conservatives Fund.
