Democrats Defecting From Obama Over Tax "Deal"

Rush pointed out that Democrats were swearing over Obama's tax deal.

RUSH: As you know, profanity and anger spill over in a House Democrat caucus meeting. Here's Howard Fineman last night on Countdown talking about it. There was one guy out there, "F' the president! F' the president!" All these people, the Democrats were saying this.

FINEMAN: It was pretty startling. There was sotto voce, apparently, you know, not too loud, an "F' the president," there was a "No F-ing way." There was a "He F'd it up." There was a lot of anger. And, frankly, the president's appearance before this same group of people yesterday, when he tried to explain his side of things, didn't help. As a matter of fact, it just made things worse. They lost the election in many cases because they championed the previous position the president took. Now they're being asked to abandon it. They're angry. They feel ignored, which they were.

RUSH: There's a part of me that says I ought to shut up 'cause these people do not know how good they've got it here. They really do think that this is a supply-side deal that's on the table. They really do think that tax cuts for the rich are happening here and they're not in any way, shape, manner, or form.

RUSH: Jim Moran of Virginia. He said, "This is a lack of leadership on the part of Obama. I don't know where the "F" Obama is on this or anything else. They're AWOL." Moran was talking about Obama's lack of leadership at Gitmo as well as the tax deal because Gitmo's not closed yet.

and then there was Barney Frank:

Barney Frank last night, MSNBC, question: "What do you know about the nature of the seeming rancor between the White House and the House?"

FRANK: It's fairly strong and I wish it hadn't been there. But I have to say that I blame the president for it. It's one thing to have a difference of opinion. And I was saying, look, I disagree with him, but let's not demonize each other.

RUSH: Well, this continues. There's Barney upset now that the White House is demonizing them. Has Obama said "F" you to them? I mean not to stick up for Obama here. So Obama's demonizing them in the House, you know, these Democrats are talking about their own president. This is Lloyd Doggett, Democrat, Texas, after a meeting of the Democrat caucus he went out and had a little press conference and said this.

And it is interesting that now that Democrats are criticizing Obama, no one's calling them racist. Just goes to show that the "race card" is used purely as a weapon by the Democrats...
