 | DemonRats in the Senate Turn on Obama |
This is where it gets tricky.
Obviously, the DemonRats are in serious trouble come 2012. So, they will do whatever it takes to increase their voter base via legislation.
Beware the so-called, "Dream Act." It is simply amnesty for illegals in order to increase the voter base for the DemonRats. I expect much more such legislation in the near future as the DemonRats fight for their political lives:
Senate Democrats vent anger with Barack Obama
By GLENN THRUSH & MANU RAJU | 11/19/10 | Politico
Senate Democrats – including typically mild-mannered Bill Nelson of Florida – lit into President Barack Obama during an unusually tense air-clearing caucus session on Thursday, senators and staffers told POLITICO.
Nelson told colleagues Obama's unpopularity has become a serious liability for Democrats in his state and blamed the president for creating a toxic political environment for Democrats nationwide, according to two Democrats familiar with his remarks.
"It was a raucous caucus," said one Democratic senator, who spoke on condition of anonymity because closed-door sessions are not supposed to be discussed with outsiders.
Nelson declined to respond when asked about the incident Thursday night, saying he was in a hurry to leave the Capitol to catch a flight. His spokesman didn't return a request for comment.
In interviews after the marathon three hour meeting, several senators and senior aides told POLITICO that Nelson was just one of several senators to express anger at White House missteps – and air deep concerns about their own political fates if Obama and the Democratic Party leadership can't turn things around by 2012.
Added one veteran senator: "It was the most frank exchange of views I've ever seen."
Several senators expressed the opinion that Obama needed to show more passion, while party liberals renewed their complaint that Obama should abandon the pretense of bipartisanship in the face of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's intransigence and what they consider the Kentucky Republican's blatantly political tactics aimed at making Obama a one-term president.
Others said Democratic leaders need to clearly spell out what they believe are the motivations behind the Republicans' positions: that they are beholden to special interests, who bankroll their campaigns.
If Democrats keep losing the message war, they worry, they will be wiped out in 2012.
"There was a lot of passion in that room," one senator said. "The reason is because the public is with us on our policies, but they're not getting the message."
LOL! What an uber-marooni! The public is definitely NOT behind their communist policies! It is the DemonRats, through their arrogance and ideological blinders, who are not getting the message! Nor will they EVER get the message unless they are voted out of office!
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders had met with Obama at the White House earlier in the day, calmly presided over the gripe session, sources say, allowing members to have their say.

With 21 Democrats and two independents facing reelection in 2012, Reid and the White House will be forced to deal with skittish Democrats eager to see a sharpened political operation.
