The fascinating thing about these stories of Democrats that are turning away from Obama is that it is not because of his leftist policies, or unconstitutional actions, but the administration's failure to properly communicate their side of the story to the media and the public.
The problem is, those Democrats aren't getting it that Obama's team is lying, and doing what they can to hide their tyrannical ways. Liars have trouble keeping their stories straight, and the lies in order, when reality and facts keeps getting in the way. They won't be truthful, because the facade of Obama's Presidency would shatter under the weight of the truth.
The article begins:
The email hit my in-box at 9:41 p.m. last Wednesday. From one of the most powerful Democrats in Washington, a close adviser to the White House, the missive amounted to an electronic eye roll. "Even I have had enough."
Another Democrat had quit on President Obama.
The tipping point for this person was the Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl case—not the soldier-for-Taliban swap itself as much as how the White House mishandled its obligation to communicate effectively and honestly to Congress and the public. More than that, Obama's team had failed once again to acknowledge its mistakes, preferring to cast blame and seek cover behind talking points.
"DC is hard, and depressing," the Democrat wrote. "I still believe good comes from government (e.g. 8 million in ACA). But that Politico story is a cautionary one: good reminder that you can't go so in the bunker [and] no longer identify legitimate criticism." That day, Politico had posted a story channeling the White House communications team's response to the Bergdahl backlash.
. . . The Obama administration can't accept criticism when their whole game is about covering their tracks. Cover-ups require that the guilty party is portrayed as unable to do any wrong. Besides, Obama's narcissism would never allow him to admit to anyone that he does any wrong, anyway.
