So, a Republican has convincingly won Ted Kennedys former Senate seat. After opposing health reform. And supporting the waterboarding of terrorists. And appearing as a nude centerfold. In a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by three to one. And where Republicans havent won a Senate election since 1972. After a high-profile visit by President Obama. Who won the state by 26 points last year. But who now carries no political weight in the bluest state in the country. With vicious, public recriminations starting among Democrats even before election day. Following major losses in Virginia and New Jersey.
It means that Rahm Emanuels big bang theory of legislative liberalism is the most foolish political strategy in recent memory. It means that spending political capital on health reform instead of economic recovery and growth was a dreadful error. It means that a crisis that Obama didnt want to waste has largely been wasted.
Obama now has the highest disapproval rating in the history of Gallup polling for a president entering his second year in office. He has been handed a series of political humiliations. If he takes all of this as motivation to stay the course, the humiliations have only begun.

Well, here’s another crisis for you Rahm-bo...what are you going to do with it? Can’t let it go to waste, you know...
Tomorrow the Democrats will be repeating, “Brown’s victory realy dosen’t mean anything.”
Zero and his speechwriters are getting headaches just thinking about the State of the Union speech.
I think we can hear the lamentations of their women. That horrible screetching noise... aaaaaggghhh my ears!
Obama - yet another failure, a high profile failure, in a long list of nothing but failures.
Howz that hopie changie thing workin for ya bro?
The GOP shouldn’t waste this crisis either. They should not only be looking at picking up senate seats in November, but looking at picking up seats with conservatives, not RINO’s. How many other Scott Browns are out there?

Naaa... same old mantra:
Hopefully someone will let this wussy, sappy-looking, evil little pr!ck that it would be wrong to let a good election go to waste.
The 9-7 wildcard NY Jets came to San Diego after playing on the road to thrash the 2nd seed San Diego Chargers in their home stadium after the Chargers went on vacation for a week.
Guess none of the brilliant sportswriters who picked San Diego by two touchdowns over New York noticed that the Jets had the #1 defense in the entire NFL.
You can't believe ANYTHING you read in a newspaper anymore.
Happy Anniversary to you!
Happy Anniversary to you!
Happy Anniversary, Barack Obama,
Happy Anniversary to you!
Signed, Scott Brown
We need to start chanting “mandate” just to irritate them more.
Wouldn't know it what with all the Obama youth, Obama police force panic posts here. I agree with you, he is a pantywaist.
Hillary must be cackling so hard she can barely catch her breath. She’s known all along that health care reform was a concrete wall inviting polticians to run into it headlong — she tried to do health care reform as First Lady/Back Seat Driver and learned the hard way. My guess is that she didn’t even try to warn President Obama to keep his distance from it, because she *wanted* him to run headlong into a concrete wall. He beat her in the Dem primaries and stole *her* chance to be President. She’s the type to hold a grudge.
Obama- Fastest trip ever from Immaculation to Lame Duck!
Yesterday’s election was a referendum, among other things, on Rahm’s heavy handed manner of forcing through legislation regardless of whether the public wants it or not. Obama should fire him this week if he wants to salvage any credibility.
This may be the first State of the Union address with profanity.
The State of the Union is going to be VERY, VERY uncomfortable for Obama. If I believed he possessed one bit of humility, I would say he could use it to do a mea cullpa..a “I HEARD YOU” speech and maybe turn things around. But he won’t. Because he can’t..he’s just not wired for it.
