Hey, that’s no way to talk about Dear Leader.

Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) said pressure from the president over Obamacare is “irrelevant.”

President Barack Obama recently encouraged Democrats to embrace Obamacare as part of their reelection strategies.

“I think Democrats should forcefully defend and be proud of the fact….we’re helping because of something we did,” Obama said at an April press conference.

But Begich told RealClearPolitics Obama’s urging doesn’t matter, especially since he is being so heavily targeted by Republicans ahead of the 2014 election.

“The president challenging me on this is kind of irrelevant,” Begich said. “That’s not how I campaign. I look toward what Alaskans care about.”
