House Democrats hit boiling point over perceived lack of White House support

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.

The obtuse self-immolation denial of the failures and thus rejection of the Democrat party is...truly delicious. They have become the perfect vehicle of their own demise.

If you are a Democrat reading this - then go to hell, burn in hell, and...

I seem to recall that both Pelosi and Reid said that some of their members might have to sacrifice themselves and vote "for what is right" not what their constituents want.  They should be happy that Obama isn't trying to help them, every thing he touches turns to :censored: .

I recently saw a poll that shows Bill Clinton would be more effective at backing a DemonRat candidate than Lord Zero.  :evillaugh:

Gibbs lies and bumblingly dissembles for a frickin' year and a half, nobody calls him on it; one time he tells the truth, he gets in boiling water over his head!

You couldn't make this shit up.

If I were a democrat running for office, I would do what the democrats around here have been doing for the last few years. No where on my billboards, cards or flyers would the word "Democrat" appear. I wouldn't want Obama or any other well known democrat to come within a thousand miles of my district. I wouldn't want any of them to even mention my name....then if I could raise enough dead votes I might win.

Obama's #1 fan is Obama - and with everything thats gone wrong, he is running out of scapegoats - and the dems are eating their own - losing the House or the Senate will unite the dems against a common foe, and possibly give the listless liberals motivation to keep Obama in office for a second term.

Hell, its already started - notice how everything the Senate does or doesn't do is now Scott Brown's fault ?
