That's because people like Bill Clinton compared to Obama. All Obama can talk about is Romney not Obama's record and since Romney is not the issue in Walker vs Barrett, Obama's got nothing.
I would argue that the race will turn heavily into Obama's favor once the debates start and Obama touts his record.
Also, riddle me this one. If Obama hasn't done a damn thing in 4 years, which is what Republicans tout as being best for our country, why are you all complaining?
I believe the President sees the recall election as a local, state issue. Not a national issue. More than a million people asked for the opportunity to reconsider the election of the current Governor. If this had been a U.S. House or Senate recall election, or general election for either of those offices, then I think he may have made an appearance for the Democratic candidate(s). I think he made the right decision, to stay away. Let the people of Wisconsin vote and decide for themselves. The President has enough on his "plate" at the moment.
There are also recall elections taking place for federal positions. He didnt show up for them either.
However he did make the right decision by not linking himself to the failed recall election.

If you paid someone's salary for 4 years and the fool did nothing, wouldn't you complain?

I'm sorry, I thought it was Democrats complaining that they couldnt get their legislations passed because of the GOP, and if only they had done more, the economy would be fixed..
So either he did things, or he didnt. Make up your mind.

Reason: rude
He did plenty (like obamacare) and that's why we will vote him out in a few short months.
Health care reform was passed by the Congress. Much of what the President wanted ... he didn't get. The GOP did get a lot of what it wanted ... in that legislation. If this is the principal "beef" you have with the President ... you're living a wonderful life.
Why didn't President Obama campaign For Barrett? If that recall election is so close, Obama won Wisconsin in 2008, Obama was campaigning in the neighborhood (Minnesota), and Obama gets a lot of money from the unions, why was he a no-show for Barrett?
I've read articles where people say Obama is risk averse but if Governor Walker prevails won't union workers put the blame on Obama for Barrett losing? Wisconsin was never considered to be a swing state in the 2012 presidential race so to me it wasn't really risky to campaign for Barrett.
Okay, now forget about Barrett for a minute. I don't know which Democrats are running for re-election in the Senate but is he campaigning for any of them?
I suspect he was asked not come. Barrett remembers what happened when Obama campaigned for Martha Coakley against Scott Brown in the bluest of blue state of Massachusetts. Ditto the gubernatorial races in Viginia and New Jersey.

Would that be the democrat dominated Congress of the first two years of Obamas reign of ineptness? The same Congress that locked the conservatives out of the room while proclaiming what must be in this abysmal piece of legislation? The same bill that had to be passed before being read, according to Obamas puppet Pelosi? That Health care reform bill?
Don't compare anyone to Coakley's Campiagn, her statagy consisted of yelling "im a Democrat" as loud as she could, but she is a very good Massachusetts AG.
Obama won Wisconsin by 14, today's exit polls currently show Obama +6 over Romney.
