Democrats are increasingly alarmed about midterms amid Obama’s sinking approval ratings, the loss in Florida, and millions of dollars spent to attack Obama's ACA.
This has led to uncharacteristic criticism of Obama and bitter complaints that his vaunted political organization has done little to help the party’s vulnerable candidates.
One Democrat who asked not to be identified, said Mr. Obama was becoming “poisonous” to the party’s candidates.
WH officials — and the health care adviser — were met with angry questions about why Obama’s well-funded " Organizing for Action" was not airing commercials offering them cover on the health law. .....one source familiar with the meeting described “a high level of anxiety.”
Obama’s approval rating is 41 percent...... Since post-World War II, that has been one of the most accurate predictors of midterm results....any number below 50 means trouble for the party that holds the WH.
Democrats up for re-election are trying to put some distance between themselves and the president... Other Democrats are openly critical of the health care law.
Alex Sink’s loss to David Jolly in Florida’s 13th District last week added to the Democrats’ negative story line. Frightening Democrats further, is that none of the Republican third-party money in the race came from the Koch brothers.....
Democrats speak more candidly about what many see as the root cause for their political difficulties: the bungled unveiling of the health law, in particular the insurance website, and the White House’s failure to market the initiative effectively.
Democrats are furious that the same major contributors who enabled Mr. Obama and allied outside groups to raise over $1 billion for his re-election are not rallying to ensure the president does not face a Congress controlled entirely by Republicans for his final two years.

LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dems marching in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
QUOTING SEN. RICHARD DURBIN (D-Ill): “We believe — and we stand by this — if you like your current health insurance plan, you will be able to keep it, plain and simple, straightforward.” (Sen. Durbin, Congressional Record, S.6401, 6/10/09)
ROTFLOL——good one.
Roosters coming home to roost, hey?
So, these fools vote for obamacare and now that their own actions are going to get them tossed out on their ears, they blame The Great Liar and simultaneously want him to save them? I guess looking in the mirror instead would be far too painful. But I guess I can’t blame them on that one. I don’t seem how any of the Rats (and lots of Pubs either) can stand to look at themselves in the mirror anyway.
That sums up the Dummy predicament in a nutshell.
As Fox's Charles Krauthammer opined---"there's no way they can escape from it."
Dummys are like cattle herded onto the ramp in single file, knowing the bolt is coming, and not able to do a thing about it.
If you can’t design and build a website in four years with limitless funding and resources to do so, how the hell can you govern Luxembourg, let alone the United States?
So what did "bioethicist" Ezekiel Emanuel (Rahm's brother)
do w/ the BILLION dollars Obama gave him to design Obamacare?
"After I polished my penny loafers, I went shopping
at Bed, Bath and Beyond......then I had some fun."
LOL... Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi loves to give motherly advice to Republicans.
So, here's some friendly advice for Nancy and Democrats:
Run on Obamacare and Global Warming - everyone loves that stuff. Sink wanted to 'fix' Obamacare... she was RIGHT - just didn't go far enough. Same with global warming - we need to SPEND MORE MONEY. Yep, Nancy - there's your free advice from a Republican... just keep on doing more of the same... it's a winnah.
100% spot on!!!
That’s really, really nice of you to give Pukelosi great political advice.
I'm at a loss to understand what type of commercial can offer dimocraps "cover" for the Obamacare fiasco...
The 13th District in Florida pretty much proved the talking point the dems use of "we need to fix Obamacare rather than repeal it" isn't flying...
Alex Sink should have easily won that seat, but lost even with a libertarian third candidate...
As they say, you can't polish as turd...Obamacare is a gigantic one...
Obama is poisonous to AMERICA!! He has RUINED our once fine nation with GAY EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE!!! DEVIANCY REIGNS SUPREME!!
PLEASE put that info on EVERY THREAD, ESPECIALLY at VOTING TIME!!
Yes, I’m a sweet person Liz - always ready to help...
