Another problem is the no drama policy. Whenever a newstory come out Obama hates it when the staff overreacts. That's a good thing but sometimes there are problems with that. Rev.

A couple days after Obama made his announcement, David Plouffe was asked about the Netroots' furious reaction to his supporting the bill. Plouffe asked what reaction? I mean talk about out of touch.
