Julian Zelizer op-ed...more attacks on Obama from third-way "Democrats."

http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/04/opinion/zelizer-obama-economy-woe/index.html?hpt=hp_bn7

"Tapping into themes that Republican Newt Gingrich introduced during the Republican primaries, the Obama team has been attempting to depict Romney as a ruthless venture capitalist whose record in private business proves that he had little concern for creating jobs or improving the lives of average Americans.

But the first few weeks of attacks have backfired. Newark Mayor Cory Booker, a rising star of the Democratic Party, said that he didn't agree with the strategy, calling the ads "nauseating" and defending venture capital. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick made similar statements about private industry, fueling the impression Obama's surrogates were not on the same page as him."

Goodness, a sensible third-way Democrat is criticizing the President...under the bus with him?
I cannot begin to state how much this disgusts me...
