As I recall from youtube clips, Obama not only ran on the same lies as Deval Patrick, he gave verbatim some of the same “original” speeches. What a sorry lot.
David Axelrod created Deval Patrick as a “test run” for Obama’s 2008 campaign. It’s no wonder both of them are gong down in flames now. They were nothing but poll-tested empty suits spouting “hopenchange” drivel designed to appeal to yuppie latte-liberal suburbanites. Neither of them had a whit of executive experience. And both of them lost control to hardcore liberal statists in the legislatures. Both of them are now clueless why their administrations have run aground, and powerless to do anything about it.
