File This Under "If Obama's Lost X, He's A Goner" - Part IX

OK, so liberal columnists and activists and voters might bail on Obama.   But would Senate Democrats who would be necessary to pass Obama's jobs bill really bail on him too?

You bet they would:

“Terrible,” Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) told POLITICO when asked about the president’s ideas for how to pay for the $450 billion price tag. “We shouldn’t increase taxes on ordinary income. … There are other ways to get there.”

“That offset is not going to fly, and he should know that,” said Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu from the energy-producing Louisiana, referring to Obama’s elimination of oil and gas subsidies. “Maybe it’s just for his election, which I hope isn’t the case.”

“I think the best jobs bill that can be passed is a comprehensive long-term deficit-reduction plan,” said Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.), discussing proposals to slash the debt by $4 trillion by overhauling entitlement programs and raising revenue through tax reforms. “That’s better than everything else the president is talking about — combined.”

How can Obama's plan to run against a "do-nothing" Republican Congress work if the Senate, which is in Democratic hands, doesn't want to do what he wants them to do either?
