Raging dem lawmakers are turning on President Obama over his lack of support.
The Washington Post reported:
House Democrats are lashing out at the White House, venting long-suppressed anger over what they see as President Obama’s lukewarm efforts to help them win reelection — and accusing administration officials of undermining the party’s chances of retaining the majority in November’s midterm elections.
In recent weeks, a widespread belief has taken hold among Democratic House members that they have dutifully gone along with the White House on politically risky issues — including the stimulus plan, the health-care overhaul and climate change — without seeing much, if anything, in return. Many of them are angry that Obama has actively campaigned for Democratic Senate candidates but has done fewer events for House members.
The boiling point came Tuesday night during a closed-door meeting of House Democrats in the Capitol. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) excoriated White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’s public comments over the weekend that the House majority was in doubt and that it would take “strong campaigns by Democrats” to avert dramatic losses.
“What the hell do they think we’ve been doing the last 12 months? We’re the ones who have been taking the tough votes,” Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. (N.J.) said in an interview Wednesday.
Attempting to quell the uprising, Obama met privately with House Democratic leaders Wednesday evening to reassure them of his support. Aides said the meeting went well and focused on the agenda in the run-up to the elections.
Hey libs… It’s not the president, it’s the policies.

The wave is coming in November you lib-tards and we will be cleansed of your worthless ilk.
Mikey commented:
So, they are starting to each other now. What a joke. They followed Obama over the cliff with his socialist agenda of remaking America and what? Now they are unhappy with him? PLEASE. Democrats, hear this. You voted the way you did, you followed the socialistic doctrine of Obama and now you think he owes you something. Boy, you guys are about as smart as a stack of rocks. Obama never had your backs. It was ALWAYS about him. The only thing you House members and Senators showed America through all the take-overs and spending is that you put to rest the notion FOREVER that there is such a thing as a Blue Dog Democrat. NOPE there is not. Think Evan Bayh.

Looks like eutopia is delayed.

Am I reading this correct in that Obama is backing off on the Libs to appear Conservative again for the upcoming elections?

Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
As Obama believes himself to be more and more besieged by forces on both the Right and Left, he’ll start acting more and more erratically. Thereafter, all bets will be off as to what he’ll do.
My guess is that he’ll start acting like the people he admires (think Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro), and he’ll order his minions in the InJustice Department to start arresting members of the opposition on trumped up charges. Time will tell.

Oh Please, Please get Obama out stumping for candidates.
Bogdan from Australia commented:
They resemble more and more the ORCS from Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings novel and the movie.
They fought among themselves over the captive Hobbits, in Minas Morgul over Frodo’s mithril ring-mail.
They are equally revolting to look at and evil.
It is almost imaginable that so much EVIL has been accumulated in you noble country.
It became so powerful that it almost succeded in destroing America.
There is a chance that they shall not. The BEAST proved to be not that overwhelmingly powerful as we have feared.
And it is harming itself now.
But remember: the wounded animal is a very dangerous animal.
And speaking about symbols; Isn’t Obama resembling that monstrous creature from Alien movies and Sarah Palin the female member of the crew – Ripley valiantly fighting and ultimately destroying it?
retired military commented:
I can see how the meeting went.
Obama ” It’s all about me. I dont care about you”
brooklyn commented:
Change stinks.
Everyone knows it.
Everyone knows they slandered the admirable Bush Presidency.
Everyone knows they are cluless, corrupt, collectivists.
Nancy, Harry, Barack, Hillary, Barbara, Chuck, etc.
NOV comes, and we all ‘hope’ they feel Our Pain.

I’ll bet that’s not all that happened behind those “closed doors ….”
If they came out happy and quiet, I’m guessing they were briefed on Obama’s plans to rig the elections in November. That’s about the only thing he could have said to calm them down …
Folks, it’s never been more important than it is now to mobilize the conservative vote. We have to win by large margins if we have any hope of defeating these crooks. Wins of 1 or 2% aren’t going to do it this time. Just look at the Al Franken fiasco….
The margins have to be large enough, both in the polls and at the voting booths, to override the dirty tricks that we all know are coming. When there’s a “surprise victory” by a Democrat who was losing by 10% in the polls, we have to be able to expose the corruption, even if the seat can’t be taken.
mark commented:
Guy #15–You’re right. Fraud and corruption will be at all time highs in November. Bring cameras, video, etc. to gather evidence. Dept of Injustice won’t do anything—but the world will see it. Remember Obama condemning Afghan elections? Their alleged voter “irregularities” were less corrupt than Obamas.
And fully expect all of those Liberals (Dems and certain imposter Republicans) to start to move to the middle and pretend to support the people. They must not be allowed an inch. They are liars, crooks, thieves, and must be stopped.
big L commented:
We better watch the polls, every precinct has to have conservatives marking off the voters and checking the lists of whose dead. In Calif there is the Calif Death Index. There might be one in your state. You can ck on who is dead in your precinct.
Better to have some people that know each precinct and would know who in each one.

Sex Ed for Kindergarteners ‘Right Thing to Do,’ Says Obama
Montana Parents Weigh In on Proposed Kindergarten Sex Ed
[According to the 62-page draft proposal, beginning in kindergarten, school nurses will teach students proper terms such as "nipple, breast, penis, scrotum and uterus." Once they are promoted to first grade, children will learn that sexual relations could happen between two men or two women. By the time students are 10 years old, instruction will include the various ways people can have intercourse, be it vaginally, orally or through "anal penetration," according to the proposal.
"As educators and as parents and as communities, we need to be more proactive in helping inform our students at an appropriate age what the risk factors are associated with their own behaviors so that they can make better decisions about their well-being," Dr. Bruce Messinger, the Superintendent of Helena Public Schools, told Fox News.]

Dick Morris thinks the thing between Glibs and Pelousy is political theater to get their base motivated. This latest could be more of that, too.
Neo commented:
Even if the Democrats hang on to Congress in November, they’ve shot themselves (and a possible new Republican majority) in the foot for the fiscal year 2011.
This could be a fatal error for hopes of using reconciliation in the lame duck session to add “cap-and-tax’ to a stripped down energy bill that Reid is now introducing.

The last vestiges of the Democratic Party are beginning to realize that they have been duped by the Communists. Too late. They have cast their lot. They are all in. There is no going back. When the Communists throw them under the train there will be no sympathy for them. They have been complicit in a criminal enterprise, and they will be held to account. Hey Stupak! How do you think you will look in an orange jump suit standing next to Barney Frank? Watch him in the showers.
SukieTawdry commented:
It’s not just his policies, it’s the president, too. He’s quite insufferable really.
Rock commented:
@ Auntie Madder,must agree, when thinks look tough for the Socialist Party or they plan for some skulduggery they love mind games to throw off the scent. But still its a hoot listening to the whining from the left, and in truth the people who wrote the bills then voted for passage still come off looking like fools for trying to blame Obama when everyone knows Pelosi has the One and them in under her thumb. She barks they shudder.

The October Surprise
[In fact, a former Clinton official recently suggested to the publication Financial Times that a major terrorist incident in the U.S. along
the lines of 9/11 or Oklahoma City may be Obama’s only hope. As the
Times reported:
“The bottom line here is that Americans don’t believe in President Obama’s leadership,” says Rob Shapiro, another former Clinton official and a supporter of Mr Obama. “He has to find some way between now and November of demonstrating that he is a leader who can command confidence and, short of a 9/11 event or an Oklahoma City bombing, I can’t think of how he could do that.”
Shapiro knows a thing or two about surprises. In 1995 Clinton used the Oklahoma City bombing to bolster his political comeback. We documented here how if the government was not directly involved in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murray building, it at least fostered a cover-up.
Democrats are desperate to retain the majorities they currently hold in the House and Senate. Don’t be surprised if a false flag terrorist attack along the lines of 9/11 or Oklahoma City occurs prior to November.]
always said IF 9/11 was an inside job (it wasn’t), then the
Dems were behind it, also might help explain the following..
Obama’s “Consequence Management Response Force”
Ready To Be Deployed Against Americans In October
CAUTION: remember who the TIMES
supports, and it’s NOT “we the people”..

British Hizb ut-Tahrir Watchdogs Warn U.S. What May Be Coming
[Although Hizb ut-Tahrir claims it does not support violence, its alumni include terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Musab Zarqawi. The organization has endorsed plane hijackings and the mass killings of non-Muslims to advance its long-term goal.
For example, HT has suggested that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal could be used as a weapon against the United States, said Houriya Ahmed, a research fellow with the Centre for Social Cohesion, a British organization that monitors radical Islamist activity.
While HT's strategy and tactics are different from those of Al Qaeda,
"the end goal and ideology are essentially the same," Ahmed told the Investigative Project on Terrorism. Both organizations seek to impose
a caliphate and both justify terrorism and jihad to get there.]
i (as well as numerous others, including many Muslims) have been redundantly preaching (and offering evidence to back it up) about
an Islamic threat (ie: God forbid) to US since 9/11..
not only has it all received the “cricket award” from the MSM et al, but Islamists have made dubious inroads at warp speed since Obama was selected to transition US into the NWO, which will eventually transition into an Islamic Caliphate..

First Obama must lower himself to become President of The U.S. on his way to becoming King of the World, now they want him to TALK to the Congress, can you believe the audacity of some people.
