It doesn't end his chances, because everybody knows it's mostly the Republicans' fault.

I don't think he can recapture that "message magic" because he is no longer the insurgent, but the establishment.  The Tea Party has become the government insurgents.  

The Tea Party is and always was the establishment. They're bankrolled by the Koch brothers.

Besides, the Tea Party just reached record low approval ratings.

That the media blames Obama and not the Tea Parties is an even bigger outrage than Obama caving to the Tea Parties.

Obama is the President, and the Tea Party supporters are not a majority in either House.

In the House they are.

Incidentally, that still doesn't excuse the media flapping its yip about it.

Actually, Geoff Davis (R-KY) is a Tea Party guy, but he's not listed there.
