Funny That. Bill Daley Major Source for WaPo's Story on Obama Debt Failure

If it is not an outright conspiracy, you just have to chalk it up to "with friends like the Clintonites..."

But in the Post’s version of events, Obama is portrayed as worrying he would face a backlash from the left if he pulled the trigger. And former Obama chief of staff Bill Daley provided surprising, on-the-record support of the GOP’s insistence that the president deserves blame for losing his nerve.

Daley said the White House privately fretted that Democrats would go ballistic if the president agreed to $800 billion in new tax revenues when some Republican senators had signaled willingness to go along with as much as $2 trillion.

Surprising? Not to some.
