The people of Massachusetts, the most Democratic state in the union, have spoken loud and very clear that they are very unhappy with our current administration. This includes the president, his appointees and maybe, most of all, Congress.
The question now seems to be, do members of Congress, including our own Democratic senator and representatives, get the message? Only time will tell — maybe in the next few weeks or maybe even the next few days. I think through “T” parties and town hall meetings, more and more people are being educated about the sleazy deals that are being made behind closed doors with only one side being represented. I think that regardless of party affiliation, they are fed up with these secretive meetings and deals that are taking money from our pockets and spending it on bribes to get votes for bills that most people are against.
It is very clear that Obama, Reid and Pelosi have no clue what the term “transparency” means when it comes to the discussions being conducted in Congress.
I watched most of Obama’s State of the Union speech. It makes no difference where or when he is giving a speech. He never takes responsibility for the failure of any of his decisions. He does, however, find a way to throw blame on George W. Bush. In following politics for almost 60 years, I have never heard a president degrade his predecessor as Obama does. He sounds more like a spoiled, whiny kid on the playground, blaming another kid for his own questionable behavior, than a man.
I wonder how many people, especially avid Obama supporters, were impressed with his remark, “I’ll try this.” Can you imagine the ridicule that the left would have placed on George W. Bush if he would have said “we’ll try this or we’ll try that?”
Where was Obama a year ago with concerns for the unemployment situation? He was too busy trying to push a health care bill that most people didn’t want instead of the far more urgent problem of unemployment.
