U.S. President Barrack Obama appeared at a fundraiser for Linda McMahon's opponent Richard Blumenthal on Thursday. "This is the kind of leader you want representing you, somebody you know,” Obama said of Blumenthal. "Somebody who doesn’t just show up and try to get a victory by writing a big check and flooding the airwaves with negative ads.”

"I understand she has promised a smack down,” Obama said regarding Linda. "And look, there’s no doubt I can see how somebody who has been in professional wrestling would think that they are right at home in the U.S. Senate if they were watching some of the behavior that’s been going on. But the truth is -- and Dick understands this –- public service is not a game." To read the full story, visit ABCNews.com.

Powell's POV: It's a little known fact that George W. Bush campaigned for Linda today as well. "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dreams," Bush said in support of Linda.

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business," continued Bush. "Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

Wait, we just learned that while those are legitimate Bush quotes, he did not campaign for Linda.
