Are you sad that Obama didn't call Eric Cantor after he lost his primary?

because Cantor seems to be:


It’s a sad week for Democrats, and a really happy week for Republicans, at least most of them, except maybe for Scott Brown, who’s busy crying bitter tears and checking the real estate listings in Vermont and Maine.

But it turns out that Brown is not alone in feeling left out from the victory party. On CNBC, little Eric Cantor snuffled that, unlike all the Republican senators-elect who’ve been hearing from That Man In the White House, Barack Obama hasn’t called him even once since he lost his primary back in June.

First of all it was a different time. His election was a small off year election and yes President Obama is his President too, but to feel sad that he wasn't called seems silly. Especially months later as he is working at his million dollar job. Just silly!!!

Should he have? Why should the president--any president--have to call him?

But also, why is the Vice President doing it? Ugh.
