Uh…they did?
President Barack Obama’s army of canvassers fanned out across the nation over the weekend to drum up support for his $3.55 trillion budget, but they had no noticeable impact on members of Congress, who on Monday said they were largely unaware of the effort.
That would make about 290,000,000 of us, Dogface.
Gee, you’d think that the Al-Obambi goon squad would make more of a splash than that.  If this is the best they can do, then the Ayatollah’s BrownShirts™ aren’t going to be that terribly hard to handle, y’know? 
“News to me,” said Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, a House Budget Committee member, of the canvassing. Later, his staff said that his office had heard from about 100 voters.
The president’s lieutenants tried to open a new front in the “Obama revolution,” the grassroots mobilization that propelled the once little-known Illinois senator to the White House last year. David Plouffe, who ran Obama’s campaign, now runs “Organizing for America” out of the Democratic National Committee. It uses the same Web-based tactics that won the presidency to mobilize public opinion behind Obama’s initiatives in a bid to redefine “business as usual” in Washington.
Well, given that there are more than just a few fidgety Texans with itchy fingers (IYKWIM), and Jugears McHopenchange wasn’t all that popular around these parts anyway, I can see why the Goonies™ might have been a little…”hesitant”…to make waves down this way.
I mean, I was out quite a bit this past weekend, and I saw nary a one.
