(User Submitted) – In a rare frank admission of how deeply troubled the Dems are about the next election, Robert Gibbs, Spokesperson for the Obama Administration admitted the serious possibility of losing so many house seats to the republicans, the Democratic majority could be lost. He says the Dems need to wage a strong campaign pointing out "apologies to oil giant BP and complaints about tighter Wall Street rules show how Republicans would govern." Conveniently omitting the fact it was one congressman that made an apology who was quickly rebuked by the rest of the Republicans. One wonders if such deflections will work on people losing their homes and out of work for two years with no prospects in the future. Read the full article.
