White House not happy with Supply-siders campaign against Friedman

This Washington Post article quotes an official close to the White House, who said, "The president does not get pushed around by self-appointed leaders of groups that represent wealthy elites that want their taxes cut and don't have any real constituency outside of New York or Washington."

What???

My family is far from wealthy, and I don't live in DC or NYC, but I agree with the stance of groups like the Club for Growth.

I guess the White House has determined that supply-siders are another part of their base that they can afford to anger; anybody remember McCain-Feingold?
