Lib Groups Buck Obama

President Obama's pleas to the left to stop attacking Democrats has fallen on deaf ears.

From the Plumline

President Obama may have issued a private demand that groups allied with the White House stop hammering moderate Democratic Senators with health care ads, but those groups have no intention to listen to him.

In fact, not only do the groups plan to continue their ads, spokespeople for the groups tell me, but one is actually increasing its buy.

Over the weekend, the Washington Post reported that Obama had privately told Congressional Dems he’s concerned about TV and online campaigns hitting moderate Democrats for not getting fully behind the public health care option. “We shouldn’t be focusing resources on each other,” Obama reportedly said.

The response from the groups: That’s nice, but we ain’t stopping.

A spokesperson for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, one of the groups Obama reportedly complained about, confirms to me that the group is upping its buy with a new round of ads attacking moderate Dem Senators like Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu this coming week. “If congressional staffers are complaining to the White House, that shows they are nervous and what we’re doing is working,” PCCC’s Stephanie Taylor says. “So we should just keep doing what we’re doing.”

it didn’t rain lolipops and puppies
the mullahs didn’t put down their weapons and hug our GIs
nobody got a $10,000 check in the mail with their welfare check
people still have to pay the bills and *gasp* work for the money
the queers didn’t get to get married and have a pink panty peace and love party
gas is still not free
white people were not rounded up and executed
W Bush is not hanging from a rope

I can see why they are disappointed /sarc
