Here’s Drudge’s latest outrage: And the article it links to:: A few weeks before announcing his re-election campaign, President Obama convened two dozen Wall Street executives, many of them longtime donors, in the White House’s Blue Room.

These two factors combined have dealt lethal blows to the Democrats and the Democrats have not been able to counter them, until now. This year […]
