A desperate media is doing their level best to rescue the 2nd term of the plummeting president. While the National Journal’s Ron Fournier tries to raise liberal morale by bludgeoning the GOP - what he calls “The Party of (Less than) Zilch” - Yahoo News is trying another favorite media tactic: advise/plead with their political counterparts.

Yahoo directs its sage advice to the big O himself: Do the one thing you have done well in the past (at least two times, anyhow): Campaign! Apparently Yahoo didn’t follow some of Obama’s latest campaign flops (see his gun control crash and burn). Regardless of his mounting failures and cratering approval numbers, Yahoo pleads with the Campaigner in Chief to get back on the road:

The usual inside-the-Beltway doctors are offering the usual inside-the-Beltway prescriptions: Amputate! (He should fire someone.) Transfusion! (Bring new blood into his insular circle, ideally someone who can say “no” to him and have it count.)

Inside the White House, one remedy dominates the discussion. As Obama himself said Nov. 14: Things may turn around “if we can just get the darn website working and smooth this thing out.” ...

Dig a little more, and administration officials confess to hoping that a steadily improving economy could be a political cure-all...

But there’s something else Obama can do, something he’s been generally regarded as doing well: Campaign. Get out there now, ahead of the 2014 midterm campaign, to highlight the differences between Democrats and Republicans on key issues that are not Obamacare.

So a president with a 37% approval rating is going to turn around the midterm elections for a party crumbling under the weight of the Obamacare albatross (which now weighs in at a crushing 31% approval)? And that's before the next wave of cancellations (estimated to reach nearly 100 million) hits next fall. Good luck with that, Yahoo.
