Gov. Charlie Crist "OBAMA wanted to do everything he could. And congress just said NO."

Gov. Charlie Crist hit the trail in Ohio Saturday, campaigning in the Columbus and Cincinnati areas for Barack Obama alongside former Democratic Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland. They received loads of TV coverage while bracketing Mitt Romney campaign events in the Buckeye State.

At one rally, Crist blamed congress for the slow jobs recovery: "He wanted to do everything he could. He was imploring the congress to help people - real people, all of them, 100 percent - and the congress just said no."

To a TV interviewer, Crist spoke how much the stimulus package helped Floridians: "I understood and saw as governor of Florida, this great man, this great president, came to Florida even though I was a Republican at the time, helped us with out teachers, our firefighters, our law enforcement officers."

the Republican-led obstructionist Congress is less popular then genital warts, and yet I don't recall having seen one ad leveraging that unpopularity to the President's advantage...

I hope this happens this election. I want to see the president win again and I want to see Congress be defeated by Democrats.

he's not perfect

but he is the only person who spit in Jeb Bush's eye, and he did so two times.

He is 100% correct here.
