'I've Had Enough:' When Democrats Quit on Obama (Yeah, but who was it?)

 
Ron Fournier  ... "I share this email to make the broader point and to offer a disclosure: In the 18 months since I began writing columns focused on the presidency, virtually every post critical of Obama has originated from conversations with Democrats. Members of Congress, consultants, pollsters, lobbyists, and executives at think tanks, these Democrats are my Obama-whispers. They respect and admire Obama but believe that his presidency has been damaged by his shortcomings as a leader; his inattention to details of governing; his disengagement from the political process and from the public; his unwillingness to learn on the job; and his failure to surround himself with top-shelf advisers who are willing to challenge their boss as well as their own preconceived notions.
 
" 'Dem Party is F****d," wrote a Democratic consultant with strong ties to the White House and Capitol Hill during the botched rollout of the Affordable Care Act website." ...

"The new approach: Frame the criticism as another example of Republicans complaining about something just because Obama was the one to do it."  Politico

GOP Senator Lindsay Graham warned President Obama the Senate Republicans would move to impeach him if he releases more prisoners from Guantanamo. The president can dodge that. The key is getting Michelle to okay the sex scandal that'll keep the public on his side.   Argus Hamilton
