Al Franken Rips Into White House

It seems that I am not the only one angry with the White House with the lack of leadership with the health care bill.

From Politico:

"Sen. Al Franken ripped into White House senior adviser David Axelrod this week during a tense, closed-door session with Senate Democrats.

Five sources who were in the room tell POLITICO that Franken criticized Axelrod for the administration’s failure to provide clarity or direction on health care and the other big bills it wants Congress to enact."


Progressives have every right to be angry. The lack of leadership now is going to kill this bill. The ship doesn't appeared to have a captain. No amazing speech is going to save health care this time. No town hall meeting is going to have the magical touch. We need a leader and we don't have one. Al is voicing a lot of what us liberals are feeling. We need the job to get done and the White House is not doing its job.


If the bill goes down due to lack of leadership, you'll find a lot of progressives not all too interested in helping out the dems come november.
