Obama The Leper?

How come nobody wants to hang out with the guy?

Elected officials say no thanks to Obama invite

"Congressmen Jason Altmire and Tim Murphy have previous engagements. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. and Rep. Mike Doyle are out of town on anniversary trips with their wives. Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato will be campaigning in Philadelphia.

When President Obama and Sen. Arlen Specter land at Pittsburgh International Airport today, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl will receive them by himself.

The rest of the region's top elected officials declined White House invitations to attend Obama's speech at Carnegie Mellon University this afternoon, their offices said."

This guy is political Kryptonite.

It paints a pretty sad picture of the poor excuses for leaders we are putting in our highest office.

And all 3 were the first Baby Boomers ever elected as President. Says a lot about that generation.
