There's not a lot of Democratic Representatives, Senators, Governors and even Party Leaders on TV saying "GREAT IDEA, MR. PRESIDENT"?
Sure you can find a rep or two like Rep Gutierrez (D-IL) saying a good idea but few others.
It's like they don't want to be around Obama to suffer the backsplash when the shit hits the fan. Kinda like the 2010 and 2014 election.
