Whew! Sounds like we aren't the only ones a little frustrated with the White House. It seems (from the article below the fold) that Senator Franken has decided to put a little pressure on the White House.
Our call for leadership with regard to health care was ignored. Will the White House listen to Senator Franken (and the rest of the Senators who were upset) or will they continue the status quo?
Still waiting for Plan B....still waiting....still waiting
The private session was set up in a panel format, with Axelrod joined at the front of the room by Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine and Democratic strategist Paul Begala

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.
"There was a lot of frustration in there," said a Democratic senator who declined to be identified.
"People were hot," another Democratic senator said.
In his public session with the senators Wednesday, Obama urged them to "finish the job" on health care but did not lay out a path for doing so. That uncertainty appeared to trigger Franken’s anger, and the sources in the room said he laid out his concerns much more directly than any senator did in the earlier public session.
A Democratic source said that Franken directed his criticism solely at Axelrod.
According to the article, the White House, the DNC and Franken's office all declined to speak on the record about the meeting.

One Democratic senator even grew heated in his remarks, according to the source.
"It wasn’t a discussion about how to get from Point A to Point B; it was a discussion about the lack of a plan to get from Point A to Point B," said a person who attended the meeting. "Many of the members were frustrated, but one person really expressed his frustration."
