Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs “off into that swamp” of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home.

“I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.”

On the heels of being called naive by Democratic strategist James Carville...

...President Obama has been quoted as telling a retiring Democratic Congressman Marion Berry, the difference between 1994 (Republicans sweeping into power in the House) and 2010 is "you've got me".



I'm a fan of confidence...that's not confidence, that's hubris and arrogance.
But please Mr. President...keep believing your own hype...follow your folly.

The man who is the leader of the most powerful nation in the history of the world has a big ego?!?!?!

Did you call the press with that newsflash, Cross?

When James Carville starts trying to call you back to reality you have a big problem...or maybe it's just a small one, named Rahm.
