Obama Plans Combative Response
President Obama “plans a combative response if, as White House aides fear, Democrats lose Tuesday’s special Senate election in Massachusetts,” reports Politico.
Said one senior administration official: “This is not a moment that causes the president or anybody who works for him to express any doubt. It more reinforces the conviction to fight hard.”
“Whatever words Obama chooses, however, will have trouble masking the substantive reality: A Massachusetts embarrassment would strongly increase the pressure Obama was already facing to retreat or slow down the ‘big bang’ agenda he laid out a year ago.”
