Midterm Referendum? Is the midterm election in November a referendum on Obama and his failed ObamaCare?  Debbie Wasserman Schultz doesn't seem to think so. On Meet the Press on Sunday, David Gregory asked Debbie Wasserman Schultz whether or not this midterm election will really be a referendum on Barack Obama.  She says “absolutely not.”  Of course, we can understand why she would hope that to be the case.  Barack Obama's approval ratings are at record lows and opposition to ObamaCare remains at record highs. David Gregory went on to make a great point.  Vulnerable Senate Democrats are effectively running against Obama and ObamaCare.  This indicates that Democrats are aware that Obama and his chief legislative achievement (ObamaCare) are toxic to those who want to win in November.  Therefore if this election is, in fact, a referendum on the president, then this fact alone doesn't bode well.    It’s More Than A Referendum While this midterm election may also be a referendum on Obama's failure to truly turn our economy around, the economic recovery is the last thing Democrats want voters to focus on.  Instead they want to resurrect a familiar strategy: focusing on class warfare and the top 1 percent.  That's not my interpretation that is according to a memo from Democratic operatives Stan Greenberg and James Carville.  The conclusion is basically this: “The more powerful set-up for Democrats’ economic message is the contrast with CEOs and the 1 percent whose incomes have soared, while everyone else works hard just to get by.  That reflects the experiences of real people in this economy.” They are capitalizing on an exit poll question from the 2012 presidential election, which found that many voters based their vote on the candidate who “cares about people like me.”  Without Mitt Romney as an opponent, the Washington Post describes Democrats as thusly creating “political bogeymen” like the Koch brothers in order to help this narrative work to their advantage for November.  I'm not sure how effective this strategy will be, seeing as most Americans don't even know who the Koch brother are.   Boston Bombing: One Year Later Today Boston held its first marathon since the tragic bombing at the Boston Marathon a year ago.  The bombing took the lives of three people and wounded more than 250 others.  Our thoughts and prayers are with those who were affected by this tragedy, as well as family and friends, because there's no doubt that today will be a difficult day for many. America rallied around the city of Boston and the victims.  This year, 9,000 more runners signed up for the marathon compared to last year to show their support.  Security has been incredibly tight, understandably so, with Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick saying that Boston is likely the safest place in America today.  I can only imagine the mixed emotions of this day: the triumph of accomplishment mixed with the sadness of those who lost their lives or were wounded one year ago.   >>TV Tonight (10PM ET on Fox News) The controversy surrounding Cliven Bundy continues to heat up.
