Balz: A Bad Week for Dems

The Washington Post's Dan Balz is probably as good a MSM political reporter as we now have. Here he writes for WaPo a summation of all the troubles Team Obama and the Dems generally have had this past week. It could easily be described as the Dem's week from hell.

Balz lays out all the screw ups Obama and his surrogates did last week, and they were many. As we've noted earlier, probably the worst was saying the private sector was doing fine.

Nobody believes this as it turns out, not even the President if you believe his retraction (I don't). Balz charitably describes the comment as "unscripted," meaning POTUS wasn't reading some speechwriter's text at the time, but instead telling us what he believes.

Balz tells us Team Obama has fallen behind the Romney organization in fund raising.  Somewhere in the last 48 hours I heard it said Obama's main fundraising source will be Hollywood celebs.

Why aren't the scores of multi-millionaires in professional basketball and football kicking in a million each? Perhaps they aren't so invested in a second Obama term.
