Sen. Al Franken a Progressive Democrat from Minnesota "ripped into" White House advisor David Axlerod "during a tense, closed-door session with Senate Democrats," according to Politico.
Sources say Franken "criticized Axlerod for the administration's failure to provide clarity or direction on health care and the other big bills it wants Congress to enact."
"Democratic Senator's are frustrated that the White House hasn't done more to win over the public on health care reform and other aspects of its ambitious agenda--and angry that, in the wake of Scott Brown's win in the Massachusetts Senate race, the White House hasn't done more to chart a course for getting a health care bill to the president's desk."

Franken and Senate Democrats are right. As Ron Gunzburger said on Twitter last week, this is mirroring a Carter Presidency. The Obama Presidency is becoming the best comedy show in Washington and I predict that if he continues on this path and unemployment continues to remain high, he will be a one term President. He has not shown progressive leadership, he has not shown any leadership. He's playing let's make a deal with Congress and he's still not getting anything done.
