BOSTON — In a private meeting with White House officials this weekend, Democratic governors voiced deep anxiety about the Obama administration’s suit against Arizona’s new immigration law, worrying that it could cost a vulnerable Democratic Party in the fall elections.Obama doesn't understand pragmatism. He's no Bill Clinton, capable of running to the center when political reality requires it. Obama's an ideologue who will continue his foolish pushback against Arizona, even to the point of filing a second lawsuit if the first one fails, until his power in Congress is stripped away in November. We've seen this kind of behavior time and again from him.
While the weak economy dominated the official agenda at the summer meeting here of the National Governors Association, concern over immigration policy pervaded the closed-door session between Democratic governors and White House officials and simmered throughout the three-day event.
At the Democrats’ meeting on Saturday, some governors bemoaned the timing of the Justice Department lawsuit, according to two governors who spoke anonymously because the discussion was private.
“Universally the governors are saying, ‘We’ve got to talk about jobs,’ ” Gov. Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, a Democrat, said in an interview. “And all of a sudden we have immigration going on.”
He added, “It is such a toxic subject, such an important time for Democrats.”
He'll never learn.

Telling The Won that he's wrong is not a good way to get him to change his mind, his policy, or his actions.
So I say, GO DEM GOVs!
