According to team Obama, Scott Brown did not win because of his ideas, his vision of America, or because people are sending a message to Obama, Reid and Pelosi.. no, it’s because Americans are frustrated and angry (and clinging to their guns and religion perhaps?).
Senior Advisor David Axelrod:
“The same forces that swept Obama to office in 2008 are still very much astride the country today. The same frustration among middle class Americans about the situation they’re in, they’re working harder than ever just to try and keep up.”
There you have it.
It was not his ideas.
It was not the color of his skin.
It was not his eloquent speeches.
It was not his great campaigning skills.
It was not that he was the right man for the job.
It was not that he brought change that we can believe in.
Barack Obama was elected president because people are angry.
Barack Obama was elected by a bunch of frustrated Americans who will vote for just about anyone who is not the incumbent or a member of the incumbent’s Party. Heck, they would even have voted for Howard Dean or Al Sharpton at this point.
I guess he didn’t have a mandate for change after all… Just another check mark next to the box labeled: “Anyone Else”.
