Barack Obama blamed the Massachusetts massacre yesterday on eight years of George W. Bush.
Obama Says Voter Anger, Frustration Key to Republican Victory in Massachusetts Senate
Obama to Senate: Don’t ‘Jam’ Through Health Care Until Brown Seated
ABC News
By KAREN TRAVERS
Obama warned Democrats in Congress today not to “jam” a health care reform bill through now that they’ve lost their commanding majority in the Senate, and said they must wait for newly elected Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown to be sworn into office.
The president also said the same voter anger that swept him into office in 2008 carried Brown into office on a stunning upset victory Tuesday night over heavily favored Democrat Martha Coakley.
“Here’s my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office,” the president said in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos. “People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the last year or two years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.”
Obama insisted today that the Senate wait for Brown to be seated before they make any changes to its version of the health care reform legislation.
“Here’s one thing I know and I just want to make sure that this is off the table: The Senate certainly shouldn’t try to jam anything through until Scott Brown is seated,” the president said. “People in Massachusetts spoke. He’s got to be part of that process.”
“I think point number two is that it is very important to look at the substance of this package and for the American people to understand that a lot of the fear mongering around this bill isn’t true,” Obama said.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
He just can’t stop blaming Bush. If Bush had never been president he would STILL blame George W. Bush. Obama is pathetic. LOL
And Fox News reported that Harry Reid has also stated that the Senate will not move on Healthcare until Brown is seated.
Obama is scum. The only reason he is saying this is because the Senate already told him last night they refuse to go along with any nefarious plans. Obama is merely trying to parrot what he thinks people want to hear based on a fait accompli outside of his control.
….Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

OMG!! This is becoming pretty delusional. And what about his remarks that he should speak more directly to the voters. No, Mr. President, we hear you loud and clear. It is not about you speaking, it is about you LISTENING!!!
What a moron!

This logic is mind numbing. How did Coakley lose because of Bush ? He hasn’t been President for over a year. This has been obama’s gig and thats what he is trying to avoid. The Progressives refusal to believe that their policies DON’T work, they just have not been able to throw enough of our money at the problem.
If there is a shred of truth to what he believes, then why didn’t Coakley win by double digits. But they desperately want to believe that someone else is responsible for this disaster. A mystical power beyond their control. This assumes that the people are stupid. They can’t think for themselves and were somehow talked into voting for an Evil Republican. obama didn’t reach out to the voters, aka…brainwashing and empty promises… he doesn’t realize that his power of persuasion has vanished along with his poll numbers. He truly believes the voters of Massachusetts has gone off the reservation for some unknown reason but he will bring them back, when he has time.
So the good news is they will keep on keepin on pushing their agenda and will destroy the democrat party in the process. They will give the Tea Partiers more fuel for our fire and strengthen our will to get more and more people out to vote against them. obama’s arrogance will be his downfall.
Croakley lost because she’s an idiot. She did run a well organized campaign. She didn’t go knocking on doors or hold fund raisers. She seemed at times delusional and idiotic. But for Obama to blame Bush for this loss is a kick in the teeth to Bush. It is time for Obama to stand up and act like a man and take it as it is given to him. He stumped in VA, NJ and MA and all 3 lost. He lost the Olympics for Chicago with his smug attitude. He couldn’t get anything done in Copenhagen on Climate Change. Face it, the guy is the kiss of death, like Lee Corso is on ESPN’s football Gameday show.
I must agree in a small bit that part of what won the election for Scott Brown was not the past year, but the crap that we’ve been taking since the Democrats took the majority of the House and Senate.
Meanwhile, here in the Florida Panhandle, we’ve had about 5 1/2 inches of rain in less than 24 hours, doggone George Bush. If his jackbooted troops didn’t fire off so much gunpowder with their rifles, we wouldn’t have all this global warming, causing 5 1/2 in rain storms. They’re doing so much shooting and killing of the poor Taliban terrorists, that Obummer can’t even raise his head to tell the troops to surrender, doggone George Bush. BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
“Never Forget the Ft. Hood Texas 14 of 11/5/09, and the Imams n Mullahs that foment this idiocy.”
We can just call him “President Copenhagen” from now on…
Gee, a week ago, Brown was the just some idiot truck drivin’ nobody. Now he’s just like Obobo??
Ah, the progressive mind never ceases to entertain.
Just keep on blaming Bush there, boy king. The gift that keeps on giving!
Yep, the dumbs have controlled both houses for over 2 years and blowbama has taken us down a perilous road towards outright revolution for the past year yet it is Bush’s fault. These bastards need the Mussolini treatment.
“Barack Obama blamed the Massachusetts massacre yesterday on eight years of George W. Bush.”
I have to agree with Obumble on this one. The electorate saw how much worse 1 year of Obama was than 8 years of Bush and have sent their message to DC. That being said the Republicans should not take this as an endorsement of the GOP but best wake up and see that it is a message to both parties. Hopefully they will wake up before the Dem’s, but I wouldn’t count on it.
Yes when all else fails blame bush. It’s an old trick and I’m suprised they’re not blaming Bush for the earthquake in haiti. Speaking of which, the Army finally found some use for me.
I’m being deployed to haiti. As far as I know it’s a 99.9% sure thing. Just waiting for orders.
There were a number of things Bush did wrong. None of them carry over to this recent election. The backlash was for the year of obama and the three years of Democrat Congressional control. Face it obama. Millions upon millions of Americans detest and fear your socialist/Marxist policies.
JohnE – you will find your deployment to be much more exciting than garrison duty. You will be doing things that are helpful to folks in trouble. There will be a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when you finish. Most of the Mikey Mouse stuff will disappear and you will find out how the Army operates for real. Enjoy your deployment and give us some of the story when you return.
INCOMPETENCE!!!
Congratulations JohnE, as Tom says you’ll find it rewarding and much different than garrison duty. Stay safe and keep in touch.
JohnE., thank you for letting us know about
being deployed to Haiti. You will be in
my prayers. Like Jack said too please keep in
touch JohnE.
Next thing ya know, Obama will be asking Mr. Brown in for a beer. Then he will try and talk him into turning in his clunker.
Hey, JohnE. God speed in Haiti.
Once a lying, left wing idiot. Always a lying, left wing idiot.
