One of the most incredibly dumb pieces of work from the guy who defended Mitt Romney over Bain without disclosing his own ties to Bain.

Wall Street stooge David Gergen asks Obama to not humiliate Republicans by forcing them to swallow a tax rate increase.
Instead of turning the GOP willingness to deal on taxes into a win-win, the White House seemingly wants to humiliate them by insisting they cave entirely on increasing tax rates -- or take responsibility for going over the cliff. Instead of sitting down and negotiating directly with leaders from the other side in private getaways, as presidents like Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan did, the president launches a campaign-style offensive against them.
He is of the school which says: when Republicans win, Democrats must cave, when Democrats win, Democrats must compromise. He is precisely the kind of moderate sounding voice that has been screwing with the Democratic party, just like Third Way and Fix The Debt. What they care about is wall street profits come the end of the day.
He is also among the idiots who thinks the president went too far left after his election, as opposed to nutjobs on the other side disowning their own ideas to defeat the president. And people like Gergen gave them cover by playing he said she said.
The same story unfolded over the past four years as the Obama White House went beyond public tolerance in its first two years.
Detachment from reality. As Reid said about Boehner, I don't know what's in his brain. I also loved watching Joe Scarborough moan and groan this morning. Last summer, I remember him saying: "The President should learn to play the GAAAIM. He should learn to enjoy the GAAAAIM."
