Copyrighted Image? DMCA | The Obama White House has managed Congress poorly, with arrogance -- or worse, neglect.
Pelosi had to bail out Obama on health care after the Democrats lost Teddy Kennedy's seat to Scott Brown, with the White House once more being caught by surprise when it wasn't a surprise. The president also showed his ineptness at vote counting, working the system and leveraging when he got only 54 votes in the Senate for gun curbs that 90 percent of Americans wanted. Obama casts himself as the man alone in the arena, refusing to let Democrats stand on stage with him at key moments or even give them a lift in his limo. |
