"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.
"What the hell do they think we've been doing the last 12 months? We're the ones who have been taking the tough votes," Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. (N.J.) said in an interview Wednesday."
Fuck 'em.
Where've these clowns been, when it came time to defend their votes???? When it came time to DEFEND President Obama's efforts towards (what's BEEN) HISTORIC-LEGISLATION, to-date....where were these Reps????
These Reps put MUCH-more effort into AVOIDING any criticism of Dead-O-Heads & Teabaggers, rather than taking-ON-those-whiners......and, now they expect SUPPORT from Obama?????
Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr.??????? Never HEARD o' ya'......and, I'M in Pennsylvania!!!!
These Reps DESERVE to go-down-in-FLAMES!!!! Common-knowledge has always suggested...for VOTERS...that (merely) voting is not-enough; that you have to (actually) support/promote what/who you voted-for!!!! When that time CAME....which was ALWAYS....where were these Reps?????

Case-in-point:
"Pascrell and Pelosi were the only Democrats to address the meeting. But interviews with more than 10 lawmakers and senior aides, from liberal and conservative districts, made it clear that scores of House Democrats at the gathering shared Pascrell's and Pelosi's dissatisfaction. Most of those interviewed did not want to be quoted by name criticizing the president."
If the Democratic Party NEEDED gutless-weenies.....we'd make more-of-an-effort to Draft John Boner, Eric Cantor, Mike Pence & Mitch McConnell!
