Longtime liberal commentator Eleanor Clift says the White House and President Obama are not learning lessons from the defeat of Democrats around the country. Yes, there is soul-searching at the White House, Clift says, but it is half-hearted. "Part of Obama's problem is that there’s too much hero worship around him," Clift writes in Newsweek, "and that translates into a reluctance to fault him for anything, except maybe that he didn’t make a good enough case for all the wonderful things he’s done."

From Clift's column:

Democrats got the lowest share of the white vote in this midterm election than in any congressional election since World War II, losing key races in Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Michigan, and every contested election in Ohio, which spells trouble for President Obama’s reelection…

Soul-searching is under way at the White House, but so far it looks pretty sterile…Part of Obama’s problem is that there’s too much hero worship around him, and that translates into a reluctance to fault him for anything, except maybe that he didn’t make a good enough case for all the wonderful things he’s done…

Next to Behar and Rosie O'Donut, Clift is probably the most annoying liberal voice I know. When she throws up her hands in disgust at the diconnect between the Obambi circle and real life, you know there's something very wrong going on in the WH.
