This one has to be passed along from Politico…..PRESIDENT OBAMA DOING ENOUGH FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY? Matt Bai raises that question in this weekend’s New York Times Magazine cover story, ‘Democrat In Chief?,’ where he describes ‘a meeting in Nancy Pelosi’s conference room at the end of April to discuss the party’s election-year message. Around three sides of the table were close to a dozen Democratic leaders in the House. On the remaining side sat David Axelrod, … along with two other White House operatives: Jim Messina, the deputy chief of staff, and Stephanie Cutter … Chris Van Hollen, the Maryland congressman in charge of House campaigns this fall, and James Clyburn, the Democratic whip and an Obama ally, complained to Axelrod about the president’s unrelenting assault on Washington rather than on Republicans specifically … When the other lawmakers departed for a vote, … [t]he speaker strolled down to Axelrod’s end of the table and delivered the message bluntly. Obama, she insisted, needed to be cutting and clear about the choice between parties that he was asking voters to make. … ‘Look, if the president could take 10 points off his numbers to give you 10 seats – ‘ Axelrod began, referring to Obama’s approval ratings. ‘That’s not what we want,’ Pelosi said, cutting him off. ‘That doesn’t do any of us any good.’ … Axelrod pointedly declined to say that the president would stop acknowledging the failures of both parties in Washington, but the message was received. … Obama intensified his rhetoric about Republicans, playing to his constituencies on the Hill as well as to the audiences he was addressing.’ Cover image … Article
