The Obama administration is gearing up to spin the likely Republican upset victory in the Massachusetts special election for the U.S. Senate tomorrow as a validation of Barack Obama's "underdog" presidential candidacy to change how Washington works, according to Politico.
Obama advisors David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett must be hitting the crack pipe and hitting it hard if they believe that Republican Scott Brown is on the verge taking away a Senate seat the Democrats have held since John F. Kennedy won it in 1952 because voters identify Brown's candidacy as being sympatico with Obama.
Politico:
An upset by Republican Scott Brown would be covered in many quarters as a repudiation of Obama, especially after Obama’s last-ditch campaign appearance with Coakley 36 hours before the polls opened.
But the president’s advisers plan to spin it as a validation of the underdog arguments that fueled Obama’s insurgent candidacy.
“The painstaking campaign for change over two years in 2007 and 2008 has become a painstaking effort in the White House, too,” the official said. “The old habits of Washington aren’t going away easy.”
After Obama's advisors passed the crack pipe around the horn again, Politico adds this rationale from them:
Already Obama’s rhetoric is reflecting what aides acknowledge is a strong undercurrent of populist anger. By these lights, impatience with the status quo — rather than any rightward turn in the mood of the electorate — is what would fuel a Brown victory.
Reflecting his new tone, Obama last week announced a new fee on big banks by vowing, “We want our money back, and we’re going to get it.”
Obama is the status quo that voters are rebelling against, but Obama's advisors are lost in the fog of crack smoke in a West Wing cubbyhole and can't hear the roar of the angry voters over their own giggling about how cool they are.
After copping a rock from Axelrod's stash, Politico reports a "top Democrat" as saying of tomorrow's election:
"You can say it’s a rejection of the agenda. But it’s just as valid to say it’s frustration with the way things are going in the country and that people still want change."
Is this a trick question ?
Yes.
“Is the White House on Crack?”
Doesn’t Rezko know something about this? / bad joke.
The White House currently resides in Non-euclidean space, and as any reader of Lovecraft knows, this induces madness.
I’ve been lurking on du. Even they are constantly ripping on the Chosen One calling him the CitiBank Administration.
In this case denial is not a river in Egypt. Spin away, this is a wake up call to all Congressman and Senators either you jump ship or we will make you walk the plank. We will make zero a nowhere man.
This is just another example of the liberals’ disdain for the intelligence of the public. They think that we are stupid enough to fall for this.

I’d certainly refrain from whatever it is they are on myself, but that’s me. I would believe whatever it is they are on is quite obviously screwing up their brains.
I’d believe it best to let whatever it is remain in that cubbyhole.
The White House is definitely on CRACK

They've got to be in panic mode at this time. Can we get Gibbs on soon to hear him ramble incoherently?
Finally, some of that promised hope....because I sure am “HOPE”ful they try that tactic.
O goes to RATSachusetts to warn everyone not to vote for Brown, then when Brown wins, claims he’s been validated.
Makes perfect sense.

Check!
As if we needed further proof this whole f’n bunch are totally insane!
That is the BEST laugh I have had in days. Thanks Kristinn!!
That dog won’t hunt and I really can’t see that trial balloon getting an actual launch. Maybe I’m wrong; but this sounds just bat poop crazy.
