This from the Telegraph.co.uk:

The president will refuse to make fund-raising visits during November elections to any district whose representative has not backed the bill.

A one-night presidential appearance can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds which would otherwise take months to accumulate through cold-calling by campaign volunteers.

Mr Obama’s threat came as the year-long debate over his signature domestic policy entered its final week.

Upon hearing of this latest development, Congressman Fake (D) Georgia said: “Thank God. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that I would be better off announcing that I am a truther than have him campaign for me. I’m not a truther by the way, or am I???”

Representative Imadeherup (D)  Hawaii noted: “I don’t want him to come to my district, everything he touches turns to crap. I am going to campaign in front of this wax statue of Ronald Reagan. It looks real.”
