Obama has nothing better to do than shore up his buddy list.,and waste taxpayer time and money on the campaign trail??.With our troops taking a beating in Iraq and Afghanistan,The working people being screwed into the ground from every side,the private sector economy in shambles,families losing their homes in foreclosure,and taxes, through no fault of their own,government corruption rampant in his administration,and others,the list goes on.All he can say is" the last 8 years"The last 9 months has already run over and beyond the last 8 years and the worst of Obama's idiosy is yet to come.He has not done a productive thing to further the American way of life.As far as hope the only hope the average American has now is that we will have two pennies to rub together whe they are done with us.It is time for a rise of third parties.There is a lot to be said for free market politics.I am tired of a biopoly of choice at the polls.It is also time for the medias to stop slobbering over these idiots as if they are family ,and do the reporting they should be doing and call these people to the table for what they are!

Well, that's what he does best.

Problem is the governing thing.

Look at his face.."I am fooling you again folks".

It a Dem-eat-Dem world out there.

Yep...obama is nothing more than a typical Chicago community organizer, not the presidential leader this country really needs, 2012 can't come soon enough.

I voted for mr Obama so he could change things – not so he could run around the country campaigning for folks. This is disheartening. Many of my friends have been hammering for months telling me Obama is a campaigner but not a leader...and this hurts.

I want Gitmo closed as promised
I want our troops out of Iraq as psomised
I want to get out of Afghanistan

And I want a transparent process on health care reform – right now Mr Reid and Mrs Pelosi are hiding somewhere in the Capitol Building writing health care reform, and that is not what Mr Obama promised me. he said we could watch all the deliberations on CSPAN.

Please, Mr President, do not succumb to the evils of Washington DC – do what you promised us you would do

WOW! This man cannot take a hint from the people wanting him to get to work instead of campaigning all the time. Time for impeachment! Of course then that would give us Biden, man what a rocky road America is in for and you that are still blaming Bush and Cheney, get over it, they are not in office anymore for almost a year now, just in case you didn't know. Yea, they didn't do right on a lot of things, but hey they were a lot better than what we have now.

I think the people BO is campaigning for need to reimburse the people for the total cost of his appearance. This isn't just about Obama, the same goes for any President or VP appearance or any appearance where the public somehow foots a portion of the bill.

8 of or couragous brothers and sisters lost their lives today due to a lack of troops. Where is obama? This just proves that obama, who is a muslim lover, is on their side. obama rejoices when american troops die. This is treason and he needs to be treated as so. A rope and a tree will do! god bless the republic!

Instead of campaigning, Obama should be working on the real problems of this country. Enough of the "good ole boys" politics. Get down to business. There are millions of people unemployed across this country and not one thing is being done about it in Washington.

We've got a "do nothing" Congress and a "do nothing" President!

Obama isn't waiting for the Afghanistan election to make up his mind on whether or not to send troops... He's waiting until elections here are done. I mean, campaigning for Democrats is obviously higher on the priority list than actually being Commander-in-Chief and listening to your military leaders.

The One likes campaigning better than he likes governing.

Probably because he's much better at the former than the latter.

I am afraid it's too late for Deeds.

Barack Obama is a great president. I hope he gets elected for a
second term. He is everything Bush wasn't. You know. a real human being. He thinks situations out before he blindly leaps into them.
Thats why europe likes Obama, because he is smart unlike the stupid Bush. Smart people are easier to work with.

I hope the women of Virginia wake up and pay attention here to these men who will have a major impact on their lives.

Thank you, Mr. President, and go Deeds!

It is unconscionable how anyone could still support the antiquated views of McDonnell and his written chauvinism against decent women and others who do not conform to his narrow-minded fundamentalism.

Then, McDonnell has someone within his campaign make fun of the disabled, and instead of respectfully asking the person to resign, he makes them a spokesperson for his political ads. Reprehensibly, that should be McDonnell's deplorable "George Allen maca..." moment (ad nauseum).

By comparison of the two candidates, no one is perfect, but the moderate Deeds is a better choice for VA governor hands down.

Oh man. This guy is so over exposed.

8 more troops dead today. How about instead of campaigning, he comes up with a strategy.

He has played 26 rounds of golf already as president. Bush played 6 rounds, and Clinton 5 rounds up to this point. Now he is back on the campaign trail.

Where is Michael Moore's movie about the time wasted by Obama? Golf, campaigning, trips overseas for the Olympics...How much more taxpayer money will he waste, and how many more troops lives will be lost before he figures out what he will do in Afghanistan???

WHAT IS HE DOING???? Oh wait....nothing. Saturday Night Live was right.

It seems Obama is more worried about getting votes than he is about our troops in Afganistan. He is dragging his ass bigtime with a important decision while our troops are getting killed every day.
What kind of president is this, he wasn't voted into office to be a celebrity speaker and nothing else, this is getting really disturbing.
And his Cronies keep screwing the people, taxes are now going up on auto insurance, I guess he and his cronies won't be happy till everyone is in poverty bigtime......

From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser

**** You keep running the same old story and photo****

The POTUS is NOT on the "campaign trail !!!

It's good to see him focusing on what he does best.

Its difficult for voters to stay on the Democrat bandwagon when, having a Democrat in the White House and full control of both the Senate and The House of Representatives, so many programs have done so little to solve anything.

The curse of getting everything on your wish list and more is that very quickly this shows how effective your policies are. The record since taking over the Federal Government does not help the Democratic Party. They have thrown big piles of cash at anything and everything but none of this has been very effective. Big on promises, small on results.

We now see that Obam's campaign was simply public relations fluff and his idea of change and ours are two different things.

I'd suggest to the voters of Virginia and New Jersey that they not let him fool them twice.

Dear Odumbo, PLEASE STOP SPENDING MY MONEY! The money that you are wasting on these trips could pay for a lot of homes, yes homes for people that need them badly. I heard (not sure) but it cost about 1/2 of a millon dollars for the president to fly on one of these trips. The country is broke and he just keeps on spending money like crazy. This guy doesnt get it at all. God help us.

I like Pres Obama, so it pains me to say this... but he really needs to pipe down on the campaign trail. With everything that is going on... with the fact that he said he will not be hurried into a decision about Afghanistan... he really needs to focus his efforts elsewhere. I can understand not wanting to be rushed into troop level decisions right now, but I lost friends over there on Monday and... ... I want to believe that our President is working on that, not a campaign. I'm not even a Republican, but if this is how he is going to manage his time...

president Dolittle needs to make up his mind. Send more troops or pull out. Everyday he drags this on real lives are put in danger. Enough with the campaigning and do your job. You had no problem criticizing the previous administration but are unable to make up your mind. It is very clear you are waiting untill after the november elections to decide. Two problems with this approach. Frist it is clear you are more concerned with your image and the image of your party than the safty of our troops. Second by waiting you think it makes you look intelligent as if you were collecting all the facts, but the truth is you look weak because as a "leader" you should have already had a plan A and B and C. But while the politicians play their election games soldiers lives are lost. YOU ARE NOT UP FOR RE-ELECTION THIS NOVEMBER SO STOP PLAYING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND STAY IN YOUR OFFICE. SEND THE NEEDED TROOPS OR PULL OUT.

Life is good when you're President! Golfing all weekend and flying around on Air Force One all week doing what Obama does best; making campaign speeches with empty promises of "hope and change" and "choice and competition".

I'm glad he's got Emanual, Axelrod and Jarrett staying in Washington handling those pesky details like Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Healthcare, the economy, cap and trade, immigration, and so on and so forth.

What exactly was Obama elected for? President or fundraiser/organizer??? This man needs to get to work on jobs, jobs, job and supporting our troops!
Go home! Deeds has lost thanks to you and Kaine

Gotta hand it to him, Obama campaigns well.

Maybe he should stick to being Campaigner-in-Chief rather than Spendthrift-in-Chief–I'd much rather have this guy be a do-nothing president than be a wreck-the-economy president.

Another roadside bomb kills 8 more in Afghanistan, but Obama can't be bothered with that, he's got campaigning to do!

The dems should use reconciliation to pass healthcare reform with a public option. After all, republicans had no problem with using it during the Bush administration to pass 2 rounds of tax cuts, OK drilling in the Arctic, and pass a couple of other misc. pieces of legislation. See, republicans can use "Chicago strongarm tactics" too. But they never seem to mention that. Have a nice day!

Since when has the Campaigner and Chief been off the trail. He might get to running the country in year 3 or 4 and until then he will leave it up to the two incompetents, Pelosi & Reid.

Where is our Presidnet?

Gitmo remains open and the Prez is campaiging.

Troops die in Afghanistan daily; commanders cry for help; and our President is campaigning

Iraq is undergoing carnage, and our President is campaigning

Health Care Reform sits in a dark dingy room in the recesses of the Capitol Building, and our President is campaigning

Bank reform has not happened, and our President is campaigning.

Where is our President? Doing the only things he knows how to do – talk and campaign.

Back on the campaign trail? I guess that's better than the golf course. 24 rounds of golf in 1st 9 months of office. Former President Bush played 24 rounds his entire presiedncy and none after the invasion of Iraq in October, 2003. (2 years, 9 months in office). So it's back out on the campaign trail, where he is more comfortable. I guess he needs more time to "decide" what he is going to do about Afghanistan. 16 killed yesterday and 8 more killed today. But wait...it's only been 9 months and he inherited this problem and it's not going to happen over night and Fox News is spreading lies and......stop the excuses and start governing. We need a leader right now. Get off the campaign trail and start acting like one.

Granted, Obama is a very good speaker and campaigner. I dont mind him supporting his choices, every President has done that to some extent. However, there are more important things that need to be done instead of the CONTINUOUS campaigning that he's doing.

"Obama back on the trail"...has he ever gotten off the campaign trail???

You keep going President Obama, and carry on and don't stop until you've accomplished what you set ou to do

That's right Obozo. Campaign your term away. Come 2012 it's bye, bye. While you campaign troops are dying at record numbers in Afghanistan waiting for help. You are a disgrace.

Returns to the campaign trail....don't you have to leave something to return to it?

The above picture is where Obama was dropping his "G's" as he was in front of a certain type of audience and he needed to dumb it down by talking their language.

Funny how Democrats do this all the time (Hillary many times as well) and they don't get called on it, but Bush and Palin as part of THERE DIALECT and speech pattern DO IT for real and they are mocked....

This gutless fraud of a President is still using the "present" voting button and yet while running around being the campaigner in chief and PEOPLE ARE DYING, he get's a pass from the pathetic left.

More golfing and campaigning than BUSH did in his first 9 months and it isn't close, but he is such a good uh, uh, uh, h, uh speaker and "We love you Mr. Prissident" so say the sheep.

Prissident, I like that.

Obama/Biden = One and done.

For one day, Obama will be doing something he is competent doing. Too bad it has nothing to do with economics.

Get to work already!

I am so sick of the repuks. I know they are going to jump all over this saying such nonsense as "he sould be doing his job instead of campaigning all the time," "he sould be doing his job instead of playing golf all the time," "he should be doing his job instead of trying to get the Olympics," "he should be focused on the war instead of dethering." I am so sick. Leave him alone and stop pushing him for results. He is OUR president and is more of a man than any repuk.

McDonnell is charismatic, and Deeds isn't. That's all the independents care about.

"Asked Monday if the White House has been happy with the Deeds campaign, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said "that's not for me to pass judgment on."

Actually – your job description is to convey exactly that type of information. You are the spokesperson for the White House.

CNN,

Maybe instead of posting these daily "Back on the trail..." articles, you could wait until he's back at work or "Back at the White House" and post that. That would be real news.

As much as you liberals praise him, I would hope that some of you have the courage to admit that Obama should stop campaigning and at least attempt to be a leader. It is a simple request that I believe all Americans should make of their president. There is no need to get angry at those who suggest he get back to work or to balme Bush for Obama's campaigning. This is on Obama's shoulders. He knows he has a reponsibility to make a decision on Afganistan, whether it's withdrawl or a surge, he should make the call before more American soldiers die. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, we must demand more of the office than campaigning on behalf of someone in Virginia every two days. Whether you like it or not – this is the same old Washington politics as usual. You've been duped.

Obama = perpetual campaigner

It's the only thing the guy is competent doing.

Stop campaigning and just be the President. It's wrong for any sitting President to campaign on our tax dollars.

Geez, where else would this man be..........................in the white house working? Nah, that would be crazy, if Obama worked in the real world he would have been fired by now.

I guess it's better than hanging around Washington to play golf or basketball.

The great campaigner in chief at it again. Who knew this is all Obama is capable of doing........campaigning. Flying around on his tax payer provided jet, polluting the environment he claims to care so deeply about, while our soldiers are dying in Afghanistan, the economy is in the toilet and unemployment is out of control.........the country is bankrupt and this mans top priority is still campaigning.

Does this man not know that he doesn't have to campaign anymore? It is becoming increasingly apparent that Obama is a sham president who is losing credibility by the day.

He needs to tend to business and stop worrying about these state elections, where he has no business sticking his nose. He is coming again to New Jersey this Sunday and it isn't going to help - Christie is going to beat Corzine. And Deeds has less of a chance in Virginia. Once the Dems lose the governorship in these two states, it will shatter the Obama myth even more.

I am sure the buyer's regret for the 66 million people he fooled last year is starting to sink in as well.

Obama on the campaign trail...shocker.

Well that is the only thing he's good at.

This guy needs to get to work and stop spending our tax dollars on his travel. Obama, your not a rock star your a president so start acting like one.

This guy has never met a microphone he didn't like.

I would think right now he is hurting the candidates.

Has he ever gotten off the campaign trail?

Would someone please tell our President that it is time to stop campaigning and time to start governing. I know he is most comfortable in campaign mode but that is not what he was elected for.

What a slimeball obama is I cant believe educated people actually voted for this guy. Get the hell out of VA. We will never make this mistake again.

Maybe in 2012, this Country can elect a President that wants to pay attention to Governing instead his first priority being Campaigning.

That's it POTUS, golf, pose for more pictures and stump while our service people are DYING
As an attorney you know for a FACT there is already court decisions which will be used to make sure illegal immigrants will get the same health care.
If you would bother to READ the Constitution you swore to protect, you would be aware your health care plan is a clear violation of the 11th Ammendment
You are fast becoming a "clear and present danger" to our country

"Republicans' ability to come back in the Obama era,"

Did they say that during the Carter era?

It was one election cycle. Obama only won by 52% against a weak RINO. I wouldn't call it an era....more like an error.

YES he SHUNNED President Obama and I have slammed DEEDS in the past on certain quotes he was stating and I stated he needs to WHOA and back up and look at the BROADER PICTURE – but he did not and if he LOSE – that would be the reason.

I – among many others – feel the same way. It is taking a lot out of me to get people stimulated!!! I will vote but I will also DRAG MYSELF there!!!.

Oh brother – now I've heard it all! Chicago-style politics – the fix is in!
