Pull Out Those Old Hushpuppies, Mr. Prez

Here is the President on the campaign trail in 2009 in Spartanburg, S.C., my old state:


Ed Schultz, of The Ed Show fame, pulled this clip out and asked the President tonight (rhetorically) if it wasn't time for a road trip to Madison.  I would guess the Prez thinks that would violate an unwritten rule that sitting presidents don't inject themselves directly into political debates in State politics.  Try telling that to Orval Faubus.  OK, OK, desegregation of Little Rock High was a bigger deal and involved violations of federal law and the integrity of the federal judiciary.  Still, it would be nice if the President could at least follow up his initial comments to WTMJ with some new support.
