Last week, we all had a good snicker over the lame attempts by Team Obama to amass an Army of Pro-Spending Canvassers.

The mainstream media follows up with a story today on how no one in Congress is listening to the Obama-bots, either:

President Barack Obama’s army of canvassers fanned out across the nation over the weekend to drum up support for his $3.55 trillion budget, but they had no noticeable impact on members of Congress, who on Monday said they were largely unaware of the effort.

“News to me,” said Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, a House Budget Committee member, of the canvassing. Later, his staff said that his office had heard from about 100 voters.

The president’s lieutenants tried to open a new front in the “Obama revolution,” the grassroots mobilization that propelled the once little-known Illinois senator to the White House last year. David Plouffe, who ran Obama’s campaign, now runs “Organizing for America” out of the Democratic National Committee. It uses the same Web-based tactics that won the presidency to mobilize public opinion behind Obama’s initiatives in a bid to redefine “business as usual” in Washington.

“The budget that passes Congress has the potential to take our country in a truly new direction — the kind of change we all worked so hard for,” Plouffe said in an e-mail alert to Obama followers last week. He asked them to rally people in their hometowns behind Obama’s budget…

…Blue Dogs were careful not to criticize Obama, but said they’ve felt little pressure from the canvassing.

Rep. Melissa Bean, D-Ill., once a coalition member but now vice-chair of the New Democrat Coalition, said she wasn’t aware of the effort and has heard no response to it from her district.

I noted yesterday that Robert Gibbs claimed during the White House press briefing that “a million doors” were knocked on by the Obama Army.

What he didn’t say was that 990,000 of those doors probably went unanswered — or were slammed by folks with better things to do with their time and money.
