oh this is a heartbreaking story (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39404640/ns/politics-white_house/). Obama is now not only blaming Bush, Republicans, and Fox news, he has now taken to scolding his own camp. and I didn't think this was going to go over very well with them.
first it was Biden the other day telling his side to "stop whining"
Now dear leader has told them to "buck up", and that to sit out this election is "inexcusable"
“If people now want to take their ball and go home that tells me folks weren't serious in the first place,” he said. “If you're serious, now's exactly the time that people have to step up.”
Well this I'm sure is just the remedy to motivate the progressive troops. or not?
“I think it is a remarkably condescending message,” said Darcy Burner, the executive director of ProgressCongress.org and the Progressive Congress Action Fund.
Progressives, she said, continue to be deeply involved in policy and in politics and are not at all lethargic or disengaged.
“The fact that they are frustrated and discouraged has as much to do with the rhetoric coming out of the White House as anything else,” she said. “And this is the latest example of that.”
“Here we have a president who over and over again said that a public option was going to be a key part of the health care plan — who then, it turns out, cut a deal to get rid of the public option. And he’s upset at the base that worked so hard to try to get a meaningful health care bill,” she said.
Dear leader condescending? no way. do you really think so Darcy?
“His contention — that the problem is that the people who believed in him are whiners — is not productive,” she said. “If he wants folks to be excited, he should do something to get them excited — or he should at least stop kicking them while they’re down.”
Oh the humanity,:lol:
