I do not really follow Democrat politics or speeches.. Obama makes me so sick I turn him off whenever I see him speaking.
I find it interesting that a Democrat, especially a woman, can now see right trough Obama. Better late than never.
In retrospect I feel there are a number of people like Wendy just sitting on the fence taking it all in and wondering, “Oh my God, where did this guy come from.. he is certainly NOT what I believe as a Democrat.”
Good luck to you Wendy.. you will grow and you will prosper.. many people out there repect those that admit the truth, no matter how hard it hurts.

Of course, the Obama Bots are trashing her, just like they made up phony salacious crap about Sarah Palin, just like they call John McCain, ‘McSame’ and say he is a racist, when he is not.
I used to be a Demoract, until I saw the Dems acting just as viciously as the nastiest Republicans, but acting like they walk on water. Repulsive hypocrisy.
People like Wendy are heroes.

I am not surprised by the negative comments. With a normal press corp, this would make headlines on all networks and dominate the news cycle for awhile. Of course her former colleagues are upset.
I don’t read it as bad but as very frustrated. I detect a flow of consciousness kind of disillusionment in her piece.

Be sure to read the comments on her article at Daily Beast, which nearly unanimously point out how poorly written and reasoned her piece is. As for testing the MSM -- people have heard of Peggy Noonan; Peggy Noonan was prominent as a speech writer and in her own right, unlike Wendy Who? In any case, Ms. Button should hope that she doesn't get coverage as her piece is embarrassingly bad.
