1. Axelrod holds FIGHT BACK training session for SENATORS

2. I wonder how Evan Bayh and Byron Dorgan feel about getting SCHOOLED by the likes of Axelrod

3. Faced with mounting public outrage and plunging poll numbers in support of its reforms, party "leadership," instead of reaching out and listening, trying to cobble consensus, rather goes on the ATTACK

4. How do you spell C-H-I-C-A-G-O?

5. No surer way to turn opposition into hate

6. The White House is just killing itself

7. Poll numbers small must surely shrink

8. Opposition must naturally grow and get hotter

9. Politics, exactly like physics

10. Unbelievably obtuse Obama, he just doesn't get it

White House to Democrats: 'Punch back twice as hard' - Carrie Budoff Brown - POLITICO.com

Top White House aides gave Senate Democrats a recess battle plan on Thursday, arming the lawmakers with tips for avoiding disastrous town hall meetings while showing them polling on popular aspects of the reform effort.

They showed video clips of the confrontational town halls that have dominated the media coverage, and told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out, senators and aides said.

And they screened TV ads and reviewed the various campaigns by critics of the Democratic plan.

“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” Messina said, according to an official who attended the meeting.

The hourlong session was the last opportunity for Democratic leaders and the White House to prepare senators for what will be a crucial month in shaping public opinion on health care. With no final legislation to promote, senators have expressed concern about dealing with questions and criticisms about the almost $1 trillion overhaul. The spate of confrontational town hall meetings have raised the stakes.

“They are just helping us understand the fringe that is trying to mess up our meetings,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).

Its actually nice to see the Democrats growing a spine and not being afraid to stand up to the mob mentality of the right-wing and the insurance companies.

So the Anti-Republican solution to senior citizens objecting to Dear Leader's Death Care Agenda is a bat to the head?

That's not showing spine....that's turning tail and running for cover.

You're cheering on the use of violence to suppress dissent against the government? You're ok with fat union thugs throwing citizens out of town hall meetings?

obama clearly does not understand the difference between LEADERSHIP and cheap, ordinary oppostion politics

he's using the tactics of folks on the OUT

he doesn't seem to understand he's BOSS

as such, of course naturally he draws criticism

it's a HUGE part of his job

how he deals with naysayers is the mark of the MAN

he appears very, very petty, partisan political

LEADERSHIP requires SIZE

opposition (my gig, now) is cheap, easy and political

LEADERSHIP (which i've enjoyed many times) is expensive, difficult and visionary

obama's "vision" is tunnel variety

what a PUNK

LOLOL!

and just look at his polls, even his personals

thru the floor

and fast sinking, shrinking

look closer at his approvals on ISSUES, particularly those ECONOMIC

and ECONOMICS is the ONLY thing on america's mind these days

he's looking at 70+ opposed to ALL of his fiscal particulars

ie, he just doesn't get it

LEADERSHIP, he just doesn't get it

clearly, his "supporters" don't either

oh well

to each his own

party on, obama

CRACK HEADS

LOLOLOL!
