Cao Hot and Cold on Obama
Republican Congressman Joseph Cao is sending very mixed signals to President Obama. Whether he is playing hard to get, or he is simply undecisive, Cao has left Obama metaphorically waiting by the phone in a prom dress the president may never wear. One minute, Cao is telling the president that he is not that into him, the next he is telling all his friends about the hook up.
Elected by blurring his party and the issues in his predominantly Democratic district, since Mr. Cao went to Washington he has followed his party line on almost every vote. Moreover, he contradicted his wide-eyed Capraesque wonder and curiosity of government by not taking President Obama’s phone calls during the stimulus vote.
While most freshmen Congressmen in overwhelmingly Democratic districts would spend a night with Larry Craig just to get a wink from the President, Congressman Cao blew it off. Apparently, Cao’s strategy of wooing black voters relies more on help from Newt Gingrich than the first African American president.
Which is why we were surprised to receive his tax payer funded direct mail piece which has a picture of the Congressman posing with Minority Leader John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Mark Foley David Vitter, President Barack Obama. Were none of the Republican leaders in the House of Representative Cao follows available? Those wishing to ask Congressman Cao can call his office at (202) 225-6636. Those wishing to ask the Louisiana Republican Party for comment about their rock star congressman acting like a groupie around the president they oppose can call Aaron Baer, a really nice guy :) , at 225-928-2998
