Plouffe, another mirror added in the fun house (Update)

I understand the Obama team has pulled political strategist David Plouffe aboard; another mirror skillfully placed in the White House deflecting leadership onto peons.

In my opinion, The White House has cast Democratic congressional members as inarticulate helpless un-sophisticates. If that is the case, they are being treated as one would treat any other leaderless group of people by blaming them for their woes. This is un-fair and sad. They do not deserve this level of public humiliation.

Mr. Plouffe did an absolutely brilliant job during the campaign and it is disconcerting seeing him jump into a situation so alien to his talents. I fear for his commendable reputation. Unfortunately, one may have dreams but simply can not be "Jack of all trades". I wish him well in what is destined to be a very un-pleasant and perhaps thankless job. (How could the President do this to him, of all people??)

The Importance of Plouffe

Excerpt:
In other words, as much as he is a comfort to Obama's online, core support, he's really there to give political advice to Congressional Democrats. He's got a very inside role here, and it's really needed.

And
Cong. Dems and the WH have had a difficult time showing voters exactly what they've done so far. The media hasn't helped. If progressives want more progressive legislation, then, you have to make sure the public understands what some progressive legislation has already done for them.

And
As I've explained, this was primarily addressed to Cong. Democrats but it also helps calm the waters for the rest of us.

(Update)
This is embarrassing! The White House plans for elections in 2010 read like the movie script for an episode of The Keystone Cops.

Uh, if you haven't figured it out, the electorate is upset. Do you really need any more "intelligence" than that? Let me make it easy for you.

1. DELIVER ON YOUR CAMPAIGN PROMISE OF HEALTH CARE. Get the Senate bill passed in the house.

2. FOCUS ON THE ECONOMY.

3. Stop wasting time on gathering intelligence and deliver on your promises
