President Obama is telling Democrats to de-emphasize the 2016 presidential election -- for now -- and focus on the congressional elections coming up in November.

Referring back to big Republican wins in 2010, Obama told Democrats in Boston on Wednesday night that too often their voters don't get out in the mid-term congressional elections.

"People tune out, and because the electorate has changed, we get walloped," Obama said at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser. "It's happened before, and it could happen again if we do not fight on behalf of the things we care about in this election."

Republicans won control of the U.S. House in 2010, and are seeking control of the U.S. Senate in November.

1. I think that the TPP and Operation Spy On Everyone should bring it home for Democrats

Along with plaintive whimpers of "we can't do anything to fix it... not our fault..."

As long as that difficult woman from Massachusetts keeps her nose out of things, victory will be Wall Street's ours!

not to feel panicked enough to attempt a self induced abortion...
