Classic over-reach. The admin miscalculated when they felt they had a mandate for change when in essence they had an American Idol contest voted on by an electorate that quickly sank back into the shadows after the race. He is quickly being overcome by events and risks dividing his own party like Dems said was happening to the GOP. Something tells me in a few months the DNC will wish the had problems similar to what the GOP has right now.
All in all, it looks like there is a large rebuke coming from the American electorate in 2010.
