Like most non-lefties, I was elated when Brown won the Massachusetts special election to replace Ted Kennedy. But, Scott Brown didn’t wait too long to put that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. That feeling one gets when they come to the realization that they’ve been duped!
Sarah Palin was not only attacked by the usual suspects on the left, but she was also attacked by spaghetti-spined RINO’s and so-called conservative pundits. Newt Gingrich and Charles Krauthammer immediately come to mind.
When Scott Brown began reading his prepared statement I was sort of surprised at how inarticulate he sounded. He stammered, stumbled, and fumbled his way through his written remarks; he sounded like Barack Obama without his teleprompter. I couldn’t help but think that he was pretty disappointing to the many Republicans who are still infected with Scott Brown fever. My infection subsided about a week to ten days after he was elected. I know, I know, he’s still one hundred times better than Ted Kennedy, but then again who isn’t?
The bill is a smokescreen to convince ignorant Americans that Obama and the Democrats are doing something about unemployment. We already had a “jobs bill” – a much larger one. It was referred to as the “stimulus package” and it cost us about $800 billion with little to no results.
These proposed spending freezes that Obama will unveil tomorrow account for programs that add up to only 18% of the budget. Not to mention that the original baseline before Obama’s massive spending increases was already inflated due to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The wars that Obama promised to end when he became president.
Olbermann is truly the poster boy for the hateful left. I think it’s safe to say that he and his ilk would love to put certain people into political reeducation camps and gulags if they had the total power that they so crave.
