Well, not in so many words … but yeah. Basically:
"This isn't about my feelings being hurt," says Pres Obama of Dem candidates who don't want him making campaign appearances for them.

Pres Obama Dem candidates in red states can't invite him "because the Republicans will use that to try to fan Republican turnout."

But in a radio interview with Rev. Al Sharpton, Pres Obama says Dem candidates support his agenda including min wage, fair pay, etc.

"These are folks who are strong allies and supporters of me," says Pres Obama of Dem Cands who don't want him campaigning for them.

It’s OK, guys. They love him. They really do. They just can’t be seen in public with him.
Right. It's about allowing Dems to win elections by distancing themselves from Obama & his policies which they've supported. @markknoller

And President Obama can take comfort in knowing that these snubs are only temporary.

Exactly. RT @Gavin0503: @BiasedGirl @markknoller and which they will continue to support if they get elected.

Shorter Obama: Look. you all know and I know they're only distancing themselves from me until Election Day. After that they're my catspaws.

In the meantime, though, Obama’s just gonna have to grin and bear it. Which is no easy task when you consider how fragile he is.
