Democratic Disappointment in Obama Continues to Grow

The chorus of Democrat voices disgruntled with President Obama is growing. And the last thing the president needs during his reelection campaign is mounting criticism from members of his own team.

MSNBC contributor and former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell became one of the disillusioned Democrats in April when he criticized  Obama’s attacks on Mitt Romney’s work at Bain Capital.

In an interview with the Washington Free Beacon yesterday Rendell, who is known for his bluntness, defended his previous complaints, adding that unless politicians start telling the truth more often, voters will stop seeing them as reliable sources.

Obama’s Talk on Student Loans Misses the Point of Economic Growth

Yesterday President Obama spoke to a group of students in the White House, urging them to tell Congress to pass an law preventing student loan interest rates from doubling on July 1 from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on federally subsidized student loans.

It’s ironic that Obama felt the need to hold a press conference yesterday to blame Congress for failing to step up to the plate on student loan interest rate cuts. The President himself hasn’t been a model leader on this issue. If he had cared enough to take an interest before now,  he might have learned a thing or two about why easy access to and low interest rates on student loans are bankrupting America and its youth.

American Crossroads’ Obama Video Contradicts DNC On “Blame Bush” Economic Message

It appears the White House and the Democratic National Committee can’t agree on the effect of Bush’s tax cuts for the middle class, and this will prove to be an even bigger problem as November is only five months away.

Today, American Crossroads released a video of President Obama, emphasizing the president’s “blame Bush” mantra and his insistence that the Bush-era tax cuts are responsible for America’s economic stumbling. But that’s a far cry from what a DNC spokesman said about them just three days ago.
