Clearly this President does not care about progressives. He now has entered the Arkansas primary in a big way for Lincoln.
President Barack Obama has cut his first ad in support of Sen. Blanche Lincoln's re-election campaign, urging Arkansans to back the incumbent Senator for her work on two policy topics that have become focal points of her primary campaign.
In a personally-narrated radio spot, Obama paints Lincoln as a populist crusader who is "leading the fight to hold Wall Street accountable and make sure that Arkansas taxpayers are never again asked to bail out Wall Street bankers."
"On health care," Obama adds, "Blanche took on big insurance companies by voting to end discrimination against Arkansans with preexisting conditions and fought for tax credits that will help thousands of local small businesses provide insurance to their employees."

I'm tired of the betrayals. Lincoln killed the public option and this is her reward. The President entering a primary against a progressive, Bill Halter.
Everywhere the DNC is giving money to oppose progressives in primaries. Case in Hawaii.
I've seen enough. This is a step too far for me.
Blanche Lincoln? That is the Obama agenda. Not my agenda.
It's a step too far.
Update I: Send President Obama a message:
Contribute to Bill Halter today
Update II:
Daily Kos Orange to Blue with Bill Halter on It
Bill Halter on Act Blue
Update III: The odious radio ad itself:
