Team Obama alum sings blues over midterms - While White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer sought to down play Democrats’ bleak midterm prospects Sunday, former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs shot a little straighter. Asked on “Meet the Press” if Democrats were in danger of losing the Senate, Gibbs said, “Definitely…Absolutely.” Pressed further for details as to why Pfeiffer didn’t share his outlook, Gibbs explained, “Because I did the same thing a few years ago on your show and I still have tire tracks from [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.] ... Honestly, you can only go so far in Washington when you’re employed. As a consultant, I can say all these things now. “Democrats in Congress are looking over at the White House and realizing that the president is not only incapable of saving them, but he looks like a big anchor tied around their necks…The state of relations between congressional Democrats and the administration has been deteriorating every week, but now it’s hitting a new bottom…governing through executive order isn't a sign of strength. It’s a sign of weakness. And it’s that weakness that has Democrats scared to death.”]
