What Titus recalled saying at a meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and freshman Democrats following the Republican victory in Massachusetts, went more like this:
“I said, ‘If we don’t get the message, we’re [f**ked],” Titus said Wednesday. “I said, ‘That’s everybody. Half of us in this room could be gone. You could lose the majority. Harry Reid could lose. The president may not get a second term unless we get a handle on this.’ That’s what I said.”
That was what Nevada Rep. Dina Titus said, and it's clear that while Obama may not quite get it, she does.
Obama, he big man, take some blame for no talk easy to people. He have plan, people no get. He need talk slow, use no big word. Then people get.
Actually, BO has more problems than that: open warfare has broken out among the peace-loving Democratics. Not quite content with referring to the US Senate as "The House of Lords", Cly has gone a bit further: House Democrats don't trust Senate Democrats, House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said late this week. Small wonder that BO is looking to Republicans for help in order to accomplish something - anything - that may give his apparently brief term in office some shred of credibility.
