Finstein just gave Obama the Kiss of Death. As a leading politico and respected Finstein has now crossed the Rubicon. She has made it acceptable for other Democrats to criticize Obama.

I’m shocked and think this is a good thing.
I figured most liberal Dems would stick with the Baraqqis to the bitter end.

Perhaps they sense Messiah is fading fast in the polls?

Are you in California or have you just followed Feinsteins career in politics? I ask because you hit the nail on the head. Feinstein is an untouchable.

This is very interesting, considering that Feinstein is a respected senior Democrat who is a master at games of palace intrigue.

She wouldn't do this, unless some hidden tectonic shift wasn't already happening.

For her to publicly state such disagreement with Obama's leadership is a serious vote of no confidence - and yes, it's a signal to other Dems that it's now safe to go "off the reservation".

Exactly. She's calling him out because he won't take responsibility for the troop decision and wants to share it with Congressional Democrats so he can duck and cover later if things go badly. As a California conservative I really dislike DiFi. But she has phenomenal political instincts and she can smell Zero's blood in the water.
