whatever reason democrats are quicker to complain than republicans in a public setting. part of it is fear. when people fear you, and they feared cheney and feared bush and thought they needed him for victory. what must worry the white house right now, democrats don't fear president obama. and it gives them much less leverage in dealing with congress on the jobs bill. why you have senate democrats say we're not going this jobs bill in one big piece despite the the fact the president said it had to be done that way. we saw this a couple of weeks ago with environmentalists, saw it in new york with jewish voters. once you lose that base and you have no connection to the republican party and independents are already probably wobbly and leaning against you, that's not a great place to be politically. >> an unugly picture this week.
