27. It's beginning to look like Obama's position on ending the Bush tax cuts have rattled the pretend

Democrats in the Party. I never liked Rendell, so it's no surprise to see him do this. He does it with a smile and tells stories about how great 'Obama is at telling stories, telling jokes, no really, he's a nice guy' etc. BS.

And while these Democrats go all over TV and attack, no matter how subtly they think they are doing it, the President, here on DU we are obsessed with a blogger called Glenn Greenwald.

If the DLCers in the party are upset with Obama trying to do something to appeal to those who are most likely to elect him, but are disappointed in some of his policies, (maybe he was listening to THEM?) then it's time to let them know that what the people want is the Obama who ran for President, and that if he sticks to policies like ending the Bush Tax cuts despite their horror at the thought, he is far more likely to get the support he needs to win in November.
