It finally looks like the White House is going to get out front and show America who the party of no really is:
The White House is preparing late this week to aggressively go after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his GOP colleagues on financial reform.
A Democratic party source said Thursday evening that the White House was preparing to take an “aggressive stance” against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) over Senate Republicans’ vocal opposition this week to a financial regulatory reform bill set for debate on the Senate floor.
Democrats released a new video Thursday night to that end seeking to portray McConnell as parroting talking points that Frank Luntz, a GOP pollster who specializes in word choice, had recommended to Republicans in the financial debate.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. So much of the Tea Party is built out of anger over the bailouts of Wall Street; the same bailouts that were started by a Republican President. Now the Democrats are working to put a system in so that we can avoid these disasters in the future and (right on cue) we have the Republicans opposing it. So the very thing the Tea Party was founded to oppose is now being protected by the GOP. That makes for some very interesting political theater.
