President Obama has signaled he's open to dramatically scaling back health care reform.

That right there is a flat out lie. Obama may be making noises suggesting backing down but he's giving David Plouffe oversight of senate and house reelection campaigns and heavily pushing health care. (Saying one thing while hiring someone to do the opposite.)

I called this asshat a three card monte dealer long ago. He follows the same script: tell the people what they want to hear and they never question what you say. Since the media will not hold him to account, he has free reign to pull this stuff off time and again.

Today there was an AP article about the first year of OZEROS reign (of terror). The author, some lefty writer, said he has not been able to meet the progress WE had due to his being a pragmatist! WE, Pragmatist? How about he and his lefty pals in the AP not “we” as in the public. Pragmatic? A joke, this guy is immovable on issues.

"...[Obama's] giving David Plouffe oversight of senate and house reelection campaigns..."

Yeah, I read that, too. I'm pretty much an electoral neophyte, so let me ask you (or any other wise FReepers), how does that work?

Wouldn't one think that the Democratic State Committees would decide that sort of thing? With some degree of coordination and funding from the Democratic National Committee, natch. But how does Obama, personally, and his hand-picked campaign guy, call the shots all over the countryfor Senate and House campaigns? I mean, don't they involve, surely, States? You know. And Congressional Districts?

I realize this question may be dumb and naive, but so be it. I don't understand how this works.

If I were Dem incumbent in a CD out in the middle of Kansas or Nebraska and I and my Dem. constituency were really allergic to Obama/Plouffe... what happens? Please, somebody, spell this out for me.
