Scott Brown Calls Obama Out
Delivering the GOP response to the president’s radio address, the man who succeeded John Kerry as the junior Senator from Massachusetts–after that latter had served a record 25 years in the position, Scott Brown, called Obama out for not keeping his promises, you know to focus on what he was elected to do and not keeping pushing health care.
The delivery may note be great, but the message is clear: President Obama is not keeping his campaign promises by pushing a massive health care overhaul crafted behind closed doors when people are still losing their jobs:
Maybe you remember what President Obama promised in his State of the Union address. He said he was going to finally focus on jobs and the economy for the remainder of this year. I applauded him for that. Well, here it is, it’s almost spring. And what is he out there talking about again? That same 2,700-page, multi-trillion dollar health care legislation.
So, an entire year has gone to waste. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, and many more jobs are in danger. Even now, the President still hasn’t gotten the message.
Somehow, the greater the public opposition to the health care bill, the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway. Their attitude shows Washington at its very worst – the presumption that they know best, and they’re going to get their way whether the American people like it or not.
And, when politicians start thinking like that, they don’t let anything get in their way – not public opinion, not the rules of fair play, not even their own promises.
They pledged transparency. Instead, we have a health care bill tainted by secrecy, concealed cost, and full of backroom deals– and that’’s just not right. They should do better. The American people expect more.
Ed Morrissey calls this a “scathing assessment of the Democratic machinations to pass ObamaCare.” I agree.

Er, I thought he took Kennedy’s seat? Isn’t Kerry still in the Senate?

When calling out David Axlerod, who by the way had just given a spin filled interview on the same ABC Sunday talk show, Senator Lindsey Grahm said it best by stating the obvious, ” This bill is a bunch of crap”.

I read this morning’s paper. Obama is now going to tackle “rewriting the No Child Left Behind” legislation from 2001. WOW!!! I cannot believe how big the promises are getting in light of his previous failed promises. I get it now. Make bigger and larger promises and the masses will be stunned by your titanic abilities. Humm…the Titanic sank as I recall. Let’s check out Obama’s promises to complete his homework – Go through the federal budget line by line – Failed. Focus on the economy – Failed. Bring change to the Beltway – Failed. Work with Republicans in the Legislature – Failed. Follow the Will of the Electorate – Failed. At least he is consistent. Where has Tano been. I miss her spin on the blog.

John – GP was referring to the fact that Kerry is no longer the junior senator – Scott Brown is the NEW junior senator – with Kerry being the senior senator after all these years behind Kennedy. It was kind of an ironic joke!!!! Sorry you didn’t get it.

It’s quite alright, I had to stop to figure it out too. That’s why Charlie Rangle was all in a huff when Hillary won the seat in NY, he was the senior senator, but she got all the attention.
