And the first sign is disarray, a lack of cohesiveness in the message. The media is part of the Democrat Party message machine. In addition to the three "journalists" mentioned above, we could add Anderson Cooper's dismantling of Wasserman-Schultz yesterday.
The question is: why would the media begin to jump ship? Is it because they are afraid they'll lose credibility? Not a chance. The media know they serve to prop up liberals and liberal tenets for those who need the constant affirmation just to maintain their warped world-view.
No, the reason the media is beginning to turn on Obama is that they realize that their beloved Democratic Party could go down with him.
The media's beginning to see the big picture, and it ain't pretty for the party.
It's either back Obama and cause the whole ship to sink, or put the captain out to sea.
I think you are on to something.
Multiple reports say that Axelrod and Cutter are bitter enemies - long may it continue.
One clear sign of Obama’s lack of any managerial skill is his infantile reliance on his handlers. But this is not a Bush/Rove or Clinton/Carville/Morris scenario - these political hacks are Obama’s surrogate family (oh boy does he have some serious daddy issues). Can you imagine voluntarily spending leisure time with Axelrod or Jarrett? What a load of vinegar drinkers.
Arrogance has always been the watchword but Obama’s treatment of those $35,000/plate contributors is starting to circulate widely. Apparently he spends a grand total of 7 minutes meeting and greeting, then takes a private meal with Jarrett (her again) and not-quite-out-of-the-White-House-yet Reggie Love.
I think you are correct in this assessment.
