I love that video. I have seen some of them in the past, but this one is REALLY sweet. I wonder what spin the obama camp will have on this one.

Brown's victory speech was really good. I liked his idea that this is the "peoples seat"!! I don't think many of them see it that way?? I was flipping through the news channels and Fox was the only one that carried the full victory speech. MSNBC was making fun of him saying his daughters were available??

I sure hope you are right, FOs. And yes, the irony of Kennedy's death leading to the potential demise of Obamacare is inescapable.

The irony is even more delicious..... In 2004 it was Teddy that pushed the MA legislature to change the law, and require a special election to fill a vacated Senate seat. It was a pure political move to prevent Romney from appointing a Republican to fill Kerry's seat, if he won the presidency. If it were not for those shenanigans, the election yesterday in MA would never have happened, and Kirk would be the Senator for two more years!

So I guess if the current Obamacare reform fails, will the Democrats blame Ted Kennedy? :roflmao: :roflmao:

Was Brown elected for 6 years or just to fill out the remainder of Kennedy's term?

Remainder of the term. He'll be up for re-election in 2012.

Been thinking on this subject a little again.

Let's say for example the health care gets the boot once again. Shot down by both sides. Now let's say the dems want obama to run for his 2nd term. What do tyou think? My feeling is the only way he's gonna win re-election is to put people back to work. Sounds like it could be a possibility to me. Any other ideas on this?

Erkel is officially on tour....It even has a name "The White House to Main Street Tour".

All he can do is campaign, no leadership from him. His health care reform has been beotch-slapped by Massachusetts, so now it's on to something else, JOBS. He should have been working on THAT a year ago with the porkulus aka stimulus bill.

So now that he wants to campaign for jobs, .....how much will this cost? Hopefully less than the reported ~$250,000 per job of the stimulus, and where will he get the money.... uh huh....

:roflmao: :roflmao: that video!!

I thought a long time ago he would have had an easier time passing his socialist health care bill if he woulda took care of the economy 1st. But he didn't & now this is what he gets for trying to spend more $$ without having the income. And to think he gave the credit card companies hell for their tactics.

Is Scott Brown another Arlen Spector Republican? cc

That credit card reform bill Obama signed is how we get to carry concealed in federal parks now. It was an amendment that got tacked on that credit card bill. He hated to sign with concealed carry language in the bill but he hated the credit card companies more.

As soon as he sees an opportunity he'll go after America's guns with a vengeance.
