In an interview with Democrat hack George Stephanopolous The ONE says that the same 'angry mood' that got Scott Brown elected in Massachusetts was what got him elected in 2008. I thought that it was only "Hope and Change" that got him elected and it was only angry, bitter, clingy voters that elect Republicans? And I might add that The ONE says that Scott Brown was elected because people are still angry with W. Here's a snippet of The ONE's analysis:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/01/20/obama_to_senate_dont_jam_through_health_care_until_brown_seated.htmlIt seems that The ONE has gotten some kind of message from the voters but I suppose his teleprompter was jammed again as he's still talking about Obamacare. At any rate he's modified his rhetoric today and 'triangulated' himself back to campaign mode to talk about...Jobs...and Accountability. {
Jobs?! Yes, it's the economy stupid! And your progressive socialist program is NOT working is it!?} The ONE was speaking to an adoring crowd of Obamabots (or paid cheerers) in Ohio today, all emphasis is my own:
In Ohio, Obama vows to 'never stop fighting'

Elyria, Ohio (CNN) -- Offering his most extensive public comments about the election debacle in Massachusetts, President Obama acknowledged that he's taking some lumps but also trying to cast himself as a populist who will "never stop fighting" to bring health care reform and jobs to communities like this hard-hit manufacturing area outside Cleveland.
"Let me tell you, so long as I have the privilege of serving as your president, I'll never stop fighting for you," Obama said at the beginning of a town hall meeting with voters Friday. "I'll take my lumps, too. I'll never stop fighting to bring jobs back to Elyria. I'll never stop fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded, where responsibility is honored, where accountability is upheld, where we're creating the jobs of tomorrow."
Obama said, "folks in Washington are in a little bit of a frenzy" over Republican Scott Brown's election to the seat held by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, which has ended the president's 60-seat supermajority in the chamber. But the president vowed to keep battling for health care reform, even as he bluntly conceded that he's facing major roadblocks. { }
