Axelrod: Lawmakers Not “Potted Plants”

Obama aides taking heat from Senate Democrats wanting a bolder, more aggressive stimulus plan.

Axelrod: "These folks are not potted plants. They’re elected officials, and they’re doing their jobs."

But says White House may not accept their ideas: "It depends on the idea."

Politico: Democrats hitting Obama "with daily fastballs."

Paul Krugman also criticizes Obama's proposal.
