[Caller to President] I’m getting a little ticked off that it feels like the knees are buckling a little bit. You have an overwhelming majority in both the House and the Senate, and you own the whole shooting match. And I’m just not getting — it’s very frustrating to watch you try and compromise with a lot of these people who aren’t willing to compromise with you.

I wouldn’t have said “shooting match” because I’m not 70 years old, and with everyone bringing AR-15s to town hall meetings, it feels a bit too literal. But this is exactly right, and at least the President can’t say that he’s never heard the sentiment. This is also a striking display of the intensity gap that is 100% going to lead to big losses in 2010.
