More evidence Obama is in serious trouble with his own party

The old media won't tell you so, but President Obama is facing a revolt from within his own political party. It was bound to happen once the dimensions of the ObamaCare disaster started to become obvious. Yesterday,I pointed out that Charles Rangel is an early indicator of the discontent bubbling beneath the surface, and that he is freer to speak than non-black Democrats. But today we have another leading indicator. Tony Lee ofBreitbart:

A veteran Washington adviser who has worked for four Presidents on both sides of the political aisle said that the stunningGovernment Accountability Report report that found President Barack Obama has not had a one-on-one meeting with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius since the passage of Obamacare over three years ago is an indictment of the entire White House operation and shows that the Obama administration has bordered on "malfeasance."

"I have no doubt the White House is right, that Secretary Sebelius was in several group meetings with the president about health care,"[David]Gergen caveated, "but the whole point is, there was nobody in charge in the administration."

Rosslyn Smith points out: "If Obama has lost Gergen, he's lost the entire DC establishment. Gergen is almost the perfect indicator of the conventional wisdom inside the beltway." She adds:

The real significance of Rangel's speaking out about Obama is the respect other Democrats in Congress have for him. Most of the senior black Congressmen hold committee leadership posts in legislative backwaters where they seldom get in front of cameras. That lessens the odds of having them embarrass the party.Rangel held the most powerful committee chairmanship out there after Rules and Appropriations. Those aren't affirmative action posts. He may be a crook but he is also competent.

There is going to be a political price to be paid for wrecking...

how did America sink so low

through a political party that not only de-based human life, but also enabled the breakup of the family unit through welfare, a lop sided judicial system, liberal education,and failed border control which has enabled drugs into the Country.

Don't think for a minute weve just happened into this position - it's taken many many years of planning (and I would be convinced the soviets had a hand in it)

the authors are enemies of the State in every sense..

The only way it's going to be fixed is using their tactics against them - Alinskys rules for radicals should be required reading for the Right now

Is it just me, or does this seem to be a good example of the racism within the democrat party? The dems keep their senior "black" representatives in "backwater" positions, out of public sight, because their ineptitude and (frequently) overt Marxism might embarrass the party?

The dems are effectively saying, "Work the fields (legislative backwaters), but stay out of sight when we're hosting a party (preening for the media)."

The a oft bigotry of low expectations on display.

And the democrats are still communists. No news at 11 though.

I’ll believe it when I see it with my own eyes. If they had ANY concern for this once great nation the demodummies would have dumped odumbo long ago and included Pelosi and dingy Harry along with him.

It also helps if the country’s national media consists of a bunch of idiots.

[struggle]

When the Dems get slaughtered in 2014, they’ll have Obama impeached right after and attempt to use that to recoup in 2016.

For sure. See my tagline...
