Jeanne Shaheen Tells Obama to Stay Away

Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D., N.H.) stiff-armed a potential visit from President Obama and encouraged him to stay in Washington, D.C. rather than stump for her in New Hampshire.

Shaheen, who finds herself in a competitive race against Republican challenger Scott Brown, was more than welcoming, when asked by MSNBC, to the idea of Bill or Hillary Clinton coming to the Granite State, but essentially told the president to stay away.

“Well, the president is dealing with a lot of crises in the world right now,” said Shaheen, citing the threat of the Islamic State and Ebola. “I expect him to be in Washington.”
