You almost never see this in politics. David Krone, the chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D), launches a major attack on the White House in this blockbuster story by my colleagues Philip Rucker and Robert Costa:
At a March 4 Oval Office meeting, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) and other Senate leaders pleaded with Obama to transfer millions in party funds and to also help raise money for an outside group. “We were never going to get on the same page,” said David Krone, Reid’s chief of staff. “We were beating our heads against the wall.”
The tension represented something more fundamental than money — it was indicative of a wider resentment among Democrats in the Capitol of how the president was approaching the election and how, they felt, he was dragging them down.
[...]
Krone sat at a mahogany conference table in the majority leader’s stately suite just off the Senate floor and shared with Washington Post reporters his notes of White House meetings. Reid’s top aide wanted to show just how difficult he thought it had been to work with the White House....

Obama now has no support from pretty much anyone. Anywhere. How exactly do you expect he could “implement” anything?
Leave him there. He is a member of the walking dead now, and if he is impeached, it will just invigorate the democrats. Let him drag down the dems for another two years.
Good point!
It's like the way Obama didn't have anyone in charge of the Obamacare roll-out.
As you say, his lack of insight (and his laziness) is all across the board, and Harry Reid and the other Dems may react against it, with surprising results.
It shrinks their farm team considerably. For the next several years, republicans will be offering candidates with more experience.
Sorry. They really are too dumb to think that deep. Absent their majorities they’re ... as they always have been without benefit of the fawning and obfuscating media ... nothing.
Harry Greid launched David Drone against Hussein Osama.
But then, the Dems are not that smart.
That’s all fine with me. Quite willing to pay for the worldwide family cruise for the next two years-may their feet never touch our shores again.
But the amnesty stuff is really scary. Is there an easier, quicker solution than impeachment? I have two dem senators to send emergency notes to. They weren’t in contention tonight, but if they ever want to get elected again, they’d better talk Obola out of his crazy amnesty plan. Maybe everyone’s congresspersons need a strongly worded note right away. Stop amnesty or go for impeachment. Or both.
This is a guy, who as of 2006...was mostly a community guy in Chicago, and part-time legislative attendee. His one brief year as Senator was just a walk-around-the-park moment...shake hands and then retreat to the office. Show me what relationships he developed with any other Senator in that one brief period (really six months), because he suddenly got into Iowa primary action by summer of 2007. No one knew the guy.
By January of 2008...just twelve months into the Senate episode...he’s become a full-time campaign guy and part-time Senator. Procedures and processes? He has no idea.
The crew he hires in January of 2009? Mostly all Chicago players and a handful of national guys.
It was a woeful planned agenda. By the summer of 2010, worries erupt...House will flip. Local question would have been “why”. Nothing much happens. Summer of 2012, more worries....more Republican wins. Here we are in 2014, and there is no evidence that the President or his staff were ever concerned with the Party or how things would be perceived.
This is a guy who was simply not prepared to be President, or grasp national politics. He should have stayed in Chicago and helped the machine there.
He’ll be removed due to psychological problems. Just 6 or 7 pissed off dem Senators could start the ball rolling.
Gee, I always thought that Communists always loved their fellow Communists, except in North Korea. LOL
See, Obama screwed Dirty Harry’s Solar Farm deal and now he won’t have any cover if he attempts to murder the Bundy Family! Harry Reed should be tried, convicted and strung up for what he has done to destroy hard working ranching families in Nevada!
“Obama is going to brought down by his own party, not by the Republicans.”
I believe you are right!
He, and Reid, brought their party down tonight. I’m trying to decide if, for the dems, it will be payback, or survival.
Both?
I wonder how Gweneth, George, and all the other Hollywood Elites feel about their fund raisers now?
Easy. Executive Orders.
Congress can pass laws negating them, but Obama will veto the laws, and the Republicans will not have 2/3 override in either chanber.
Republicans REALLY don’t want impeachment. Democrats would love it if we tried that.
Valerie Jarrett. That’s who has been in charge.
De facto president.
Obama has been the face of the movement, and his helo/plane should have the call sign “Golf One”.
Not going to happen, sadly.
That’s true today, and Boehner has allowed Obama to feel secure in his behavior by taking impeachment off of the table.
However, depending on just how badly Obama behaves from now on, we’ll see how far the House and Senate will let him go.
I believe the next president can vacate, at least, some of them.
If I’m wrong, I hope someone will correct me.
