Looks like Obama may be growing irked with the congressional leadership of his party:
But two Democratic sources with knowledge of the meeting said the president took a blunt tone with the lawmakers, urging them to drop whatever needs to be cut from the bill to gain bipartisan support and to pass Congress soon.
One source said Obama appeared to be frustrated by the public perception that the recovery bill was becoming laden with partisan pet projects.
The legislative leaders left the White House without comment yesterday evening.
I prefer the President’s tone to that of Pelosi and Reid, but I would note that the public has the perception that the recovery – wait, I thought it was a stimulus! — bill is full of partisan pet projects because it is full of partisan pet projects.
