The PoliticsPA website reports that President Obama will appear at a September 20 fundraiser for Democratic Senate Candidate Congressman Joe Sestak.

It will be President Obama's first campaign visit for Sestak, who beat Senator Arlen Specter in the May 18 primary.

Obama had supported Specter in that election, but now supports Sestak in his bid for the seat against Republican Pat Toomey.

If I were Joe Sestak, I would run for the nearest exit.

You can plainly see what Obama campaigning for Arlen Specter did for him.

RUN MAN RUN!!!!

And I don't mean just for Senator.

Maybe Joe will explain what job the White House offered him to drop out of the race.

YIKES! If I were Sestak, I'd be dealing with an immediate family emergency out of town that day!
