Dana Milbank - Obama vs. the liberals: Pass the tea to the left - washingtonpost.com: "Tea parties -- they aren't just for conservatives anymore.
Liberals are turning against President Obama with an energy that until now has been reserved for Fox News viewers who wear tri-corner hats and wave yellow 'Don't Tread on Me' flags:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in a news conference Wednesday, declares that she won't ask House members to support Obama's Afghanistan troop increase in a January vote. 'The president's going to have to make his case,' she says, calling it a 'vote of conscience.'
About the same time, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) holds a news conference to denounce Obama's renomination of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. 'When the people voted for change in 2008,' he says, 'they did not vote to have one of the key architects of the Bush economy be reappointed.'"
