Massachusetts took a major step and elected #41, Scott Brown to replace the vacant seat held for almost 47 years by Ted Kennedy. With their vote the people of Massachusetts gave control of the White House back to the people. Ever since Barack Obama went to Washington he, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi seem to think they were given the right to do whatever they wished.
Obama's coat tails seem to be quite frayed lately since he was unable to save the gubernatorial elections for Democrats in both Virginia and New Jersey. The latest buzz in the halls of Congress is "Jump ship now.........Obama can't help you!"
If this wasn't enough of a wake-up call for Obama and the Democrats, who have been governing like a dictatorship by excluding the Republicans, then the voters will send an even stronger message come November. They didn't send Obama to Washington to cut back door deals like Reid and Company are doing after he campaigned on transparency.
It seems like all he talks about lately is "I'm ready to take on the fight". He said this when he thought his health care plan was a done deal and he would be busy campaigning on behalf of the Democrats who were expected to get hit hard on the election trail and again today when he talked about the big bankers paying out huge bonuses. He reminds me of a kid I grew up with that was always ready to take on a fight until he got his ass kicked really bad. I guess Obama will need that type of ass-kicking in November, then he won't be so anxious to 'take on the fight' for his remaining two years when it's not what the voters want.
He spoke today about how it shouldn't take a fifty pound application for a small business owner to apply for funding, yet his health care bill is well over four reams of paper. With all of the side deal amendment's with Democratic Senators and the Unions, it may actually be close to fifty pounds!
Stay tuned.........
