President Obama is finally realizing his useful idiots are helping to make him a one-term president. Allahpundit’s post at Hot Air – White House to Pelosi: Hey, maybe the protesters aren’t un-American summarizes what seemed predictable:

Normally I’d treat this as another instance of The One coordinating with a lesser Democrat to play good cop/bad cop, much as he did on the campaign trail when he’d have Jesse Jackson Jr or some other lackey do his racial politicking for him while he kept his immaculate hands clean. But my contempt for Pelosi is such that I think she really might be so stupid and renegade as to think calling protesters “un-American” is a winning strategy, with Obama now forced to clean up her mess — especially with some town halls of his own looming this week.

The implosion begins with internal dissent that boils over into public view. It’s sort of like a marriage where the spouses argue in front of friends – you know it’s close to being over. The Community-Organizer-In-Chief’s orders to “hit back twice as hard” was taken just a little too seriously, and it cost him and his plan support among the American people. Now the President has to be conciliatory, and if Pelosi, Hoyer, et al. are hung out to dry, well, electability trumps policy.
