Politico: White House ‘one part Dick Daley, one part Barney Fife’ By: Mark Hemingway Commentary Staff Writer 06/03/10 12:22 PM EDT One of the surest signs that things are going badly for the president is that D.C. guardians of conventional wisdom have stopped any pretext of mincing words about the President’s recent performance. The latest example is this Politico article, “White House political team stumbles, bumbles“: <<< In a possible repeat of the Joe Sestak episode in Pennsylvania, insurgent U.S. Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff of Colorado said deputy White House chief of staff Jim Messina reached out to him — with a wince-inducing e-mail that is now public — with three possible jobs in September 2009.
