Politico: Dems Frustrated With Obama Over Lack of Engagement, Message for 2014

‘He doesn’t seem personally invested in the strategy’

Dems desperately seek an Obama midterm strategy (Politico)

For months, President Barack Obama has been telling donors that there’s nothing more important to him than the November elections.

But many Democrats say their biggest worry for the fall is the president himself

The problem, according to the nearly two dozen top Democratic operatives and outside allies who shared their frustration with POLITICO, is Obama’s investment — or lack thereof — in the midterms. The White House, they complain, has yet to broaden its economic message. The president has no set meetings with his political staff, and does little to help beyond headlining events to activate big donors. There’s no strategic direction.
