However, Pres BO has now run into Dem opposition:
"Senior administration officials met with Senate Democrats for an hour and a half on Thursday to answer their complaints about President Obama’s jobs bill.
Democratic lawmakers voiced objections to several of the president’s proposals to pay for the $447 billion stimulus package, including an elimination of tax breaks for the oil-and-gas industry." (Via Ed M of Hot Air)
We also learned today that The NY Times is calling on Dems to support Pres BO rather than reading polls: Bipartisanship of the Wrong Kind
What's the meaning of Dems going their own way?
First, there are several Dems up for reelection in 2012 from Montana, Nebraska and Missouri. Pres BO is political poison in those states!
Even Sen Casey, a liberal from Pennsylvania, is unhappy: Obama's Jobs Plan Won't Work
Sen Casey wants Pres BO to break up the plan into different parts rather than one "comprehensive" plan.
Second, the special elections last Tuesday have created "panic" in the Dem party.
Everyone has focused on the NY City election. However, the Nevada was significant because of the turnout. The GOP got over 60% of the vote, a sign of voter passion!
Third, Pres BO did not get a bump from his speech to Congress. Nothing! Do you recall the last time that a president got no "bump" out of a major speech?
Pres BO is in deep trouble. Just ask the Dems.
