Jon Cowan, from the odious Third Way (the successors to the now-dead DLC):
I think [White House Chief of Staff Bill] Daley is going to go down as one of the more effective chiefs of staff in a highly polarized moment in American politics, who ... got some very big offers on the table that broke with Democratic orthodoxy, and helped reposition the President in the center of American politics for his reelection.
How's that "center" looking? Obama's approval ratings, per Gallup:
Whatever it is that Obama is doing, it's not working. And Bill Daley is certainly not guiding the president toward any semblance of popularity. If that was his job, then so far, mission not accomplished.
These idiot "centrist" Democrats think their disastrous approach to governing is somehow winning the mythical American "middle," but it's clearly and objectively not.
