Early Morning Swim: Joan Walsh Blasts Lack of White House Leadership on Hardball

Shrill:

Maybe House Democrats can pull this out, even with a gaping hole in White House leadership. Barney Frank seems to have thought better of his initial defeatism. But I have to say, I’m pretty close to giving up on Mr. Obama, who seems determined to confirm every doubt I and others ever had about whether he was ready to fight for what his supporters believed in.

Time to sack up or go home, Barry.
