Liberal Rep Charlie Rangel (D-NY): Lame-Duck Victories Spared Obama From 2012 Primary Challenge

(By Meredith Jessup, The Blaze) - Will President Barack Obama face a challenge from within his own party in 2010?

Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., this question Tuesday (after the pair had lunch together), Rangel noted that he feels differently about this issue now that the president delivered victories for his liberal base during the recent lame-duck session of Congress, including the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
