I Guess I Spoke Too Soon?
Well, according to the Dis-Associated Press, it sounds like the Democrats, seeing their health care-less bill in jeopardy are now asking Obamessiah to jump onto the stump for Martha Coakley. I had made a point just last night/early this morning that Obama had been doing a good thing for Coakley by keeping his Obamagic out of the race. I guess I spoke too soon – too good to be true.
Scott Brown has been a lightning rod up there in Massachusetts and the Republicans up that way are fired up. The Democrats, on the other hand, aren’t really as enthusiastic and with the poll numbers now in favor of Brown, the Dems are raising the red flags. In fact, Rep. Barney Frank (Fwank) made the point, if Brown wins, the Dems lose the health care bill. We’ll see if Fwankie-boy makes good on his position to not stall the swearing in, should Brown take the chair.
It would be quite ironic, though. Ted Kennedy was all about getting this bill passed and his successor may deliver a coup de grace and prevent its passage. And just like the class-less jerk that he is, Senator Schumer from New York had to toss his corroded, muckraking, two cents in and pull out the teabag pejorative. Good one, Chuckie, you putz-head.
Oh, and I hope Obama fails – again.
Obama Gets One Thing Right – So Far
Don’t get me wrong and don’t start tazing me until you read what I say here – wondering how many people have come to the realization already ahead of me. Whatever if they do – I’m writing it anyway, in my own unique idiom.
Or I’ll just blame it on my antiquated computer. Seems to be the going excuse this week.
- Action: Obama goes to Copenhagen to pitch for the Chicago bid for the Games. Outcome: Chicago gets eliminated handily in the first round. Obama Fail Score – 1
Action: Obama gets on the stump for the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races. Outcome: Seats held by Democrats flip to the GOP. Obama Fail Score – 3 (one for each)- Action: Obama goes back to Copenhagen to vehemently speak for unity on Climate Change. Outcome: The so-called Copenhagen Accords fall dismally short of desired goals. China stonewalls the talks, makes Obama look like a jerk, the US like idiots, and the greens lap it up as more anti-American fodder. Obama Fail Score – 5 (that gaffe was so bad, it made Baghdad Bob look credible)
So now, the next big PR flop-portunity comes to bear – the Massachusetts senatorial special election and while Scott Brown has already urged Obama to stay away from the Bay State, it would seem that Obama has actually learned something – if you don’t want to come away with egg on your face, yet again, do yourself and your party candidate a favor – don’t show up. He hasn’t showed up in Massachusetts.
He’s still too busy with all of those closed-room debates on the health deform bill, which were supposed to be broadcast on C-SPAN. Obama Fail Score – 6 (or is it 13, since he promised it, what, eight times?)
Either way, with more than 50% of Americans ready to chuck an egg at the Amateur-in-Chief, it would seem he’s learnt a little something. But I can’t wait for him to go back into campaign mode later this summer. I still have six eggs in this carton yet to toss.
