Silly Rabbits! Many of you think that Obama and Congressional Dems WANT to have a majority

[Vinnie From Indy]

The fact is that an argument could easily be made that Obama and many Dems in Congress find it FAR easier to be in the minority. Being in the minority gives Dems PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. For Congress folk it makes the cocktail parties and fundraisers so much easier to deal with. Candidates and incumbents can rail against all the evil shit being done by the GOP without actually having to do anything about it. Right now, they are screwed because many progressives and base Democrats are angry as shit at the lack of attention to issues near and dear to them. It could very well be that the Gibbs statement was designed to keep progressives and the "professional left" at home this year instead of voting. Being in the minority is EXCELLENT cover when you are really interested in sucking up as many of the corporate dollars available and don't want constituents calling you out at fundraisers etc.
