I really feel the need to apologize to our president. In the past I have called him a pathological narcissist. I was mistaken in that and should probably bake a cake and send it to the White House as my act of contrition.

I never dreamed he was worse than that:

Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs "off into that swamp" of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home.

"I've been doing that with this White House, and they just don't seem to give it any credibility at all," Berry said. "They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in '94 was you've got me.' We're going to see how much difference that makes now."

That quote comes to us via Glenn Thrush's blog in Politico where he details what retiring rep Marion Berry told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. 

Do the Democrats realize yet that this self puffery is the product of a delusional mind and that following him means almost certain destruction for their careers and perhaps their party?

If I were a Democrat, I would be afraid. Very afraid.
