Analysts: White House Panicking Over Elections - Face The Nation - CBS News(CBS) With many polls indicating the Republicans may win back control of the House of Representatives (and possibly the Senate as well) in the upcoming mid-term elections, Jim VandeHei, the executive editor of Politico, told CBS' "Face the Nation" that the Obama administration is in a horrible position.
"Does the White House understand this?" asked guest host Harry Smith. "Do you feel any sense of panic or concern" on the part of the administration?
"They get it. There's panic. There's concern," VandeHei said. "The reality for this administration stinks, politically and practically, when it comes to the economy. You're not going to be able to change that 9.6-percent unemployment figure. You can't get anything from Congress in the next couple of months."

"There's a lot of frustration on Capitol Hill among Democrats who feel like the President led them down this path. They didn't all necessarily want to deal with health care. This was on the president's agenda, and then they felt like he kind of hung them out to dry."
"Not a single Democrat has run an ad in support of the health care bill since April," VandeHei noted.
Cordes pointed out that Democrats are very unhappy about Mr. Obama's speech last week, only the second Oval Office prime time address in his presidency.
"What does he talk about? Not the economy, but Iraq," Cordes said. "And they say, 'No, we need to own the economy. If you’re going to use the power of your office to give a speech like that, talk about the economy."

Panic? In the White House? I find that hard to believe, I haven't seen anything from the WH to indicate they realize that Nov. is going to be, horrific for them.
How many unqualified Tea Party candidates are on ballots, do you reckon?
Haven't you ever heard the old saying Mr. V.
Don't count your chickens until their hatched...
Of course I couldn't care either way, you think Washintgon will magically change if Republicans take both houses or something?
If you believe that you're as misguided as the Obama supporters you rail against for believing the same thing...
Where have I said it'd magically change? Oh I haven't.
If you do a search, you'll even find me saying this is the GOP's last chance, really. They get back in power they best DO THE RIGHT thing, cause if they get don't it's over. The right thing being acting like Conservatives and having a spine. If they go back to the freespending big Govt ways of the 2000's then it's over.

How people didn't see this coming is beyond me... It was clear a long time ago that the far left had taken over the Dem party. All the info was there as to what Obama's position would be. And yet, these bufoons/fools were voted into office, first with Dem control of Congress, then the WH. And just now the average person is getting upset and thinks they're doing a piss poor job... How could they not? How, with no evidence to support it, did anybody think this gig was gonna work?

What qualifications are required in your estimation for public office?

the president's panic has been apparent in his footsteps for weeks
he's desperate for something to trumpet, some collection of headlines he can claim as his own
his first bid was auto's, he'd saved the industry, he felt
but then we saw the worst august for the carmakers, across the board, since 1983
Weak auto sales are latest sign of sluggish U.S. economy - Sep. 1, 2010
august, evidently, is a very important time for the fords and gm's...
so, obtuse obama blithely bounced over to iraq, only his second oval office address
it's been universally panned, from bill-o to rachel maddow to howie kurtz to david gergen...
to house and senate democrats
the political situation in baghdad is frozen, the combat troops remain (under a different name), the sects are seething, the little girls and grammas are still getting grenaded, and the only real winner in this sadsack, slapdash story is iran
and, naturally, when president pie-in-the-face merely utters the word, "iraq," concerned americans in all corners by course conjure up, "afghanistan," OBAMA'S WAR
so we skip off sunnily to these super hi profile mideast peace talks, a white house production, starring ms hillary in her bid for the oscar
except the dialogue excludes the popularly represented 40% of palestinians in gaza, which saw action yesterday
the putz on pennsylvania ave appears unapprised
he can't make any progress with the palestinian authority in the west bank with the brotherhood in gaza continuing disgruntled and aggrieved
and bebe is building again
meanwhile, over-his-head obama announces---PEACE IN A YEAR!
next, we have 9-11 coming up in 5 days
exactly what will oblivious barry be doing?
he can't go to new york
he can't say this and he certainly can't say THAT...
and if he says nothing he's gonna ENFURIATE americans of all persuasions, prominently including new yorkers, conspicuously featuring the msm
and, now---he's completely boxed in on the bush tax cuts
the entire economy is cowering in uncertainty---uncertainty in health care, uncertainty in cap and trade, 2000 pages of uncertainty in the reg reform
so, asked about the extension of the cuts to ALL americans, obstinately backed by lieberman, nelson, conrad and others, david plouffe on mtp yesterday said, "i don't know"
unbelievable
this white house has STILL not come down with decision on where IT stands, now that rubber's reached road, of TAXING THE RICH
are you sure these people know what they're doing?
embarrassed yet?
