President Obama ‘Surprised and Frustrated’ at Closeness of Mass. Senate race

Wow, what a dumb thing for Mr. Cool and Sophisticated to let slip. This practically amounts to a concession.

Wow, how clueless and out of touch can they be? Maybe they should listen to some of the voters comments about why they are voting for Scott Brown. Can you say “Stop the Health Care Bill”!

Gee? You think?

just as any narcissist would be!

If he would listen instead of all
delivering his flowery speeches, he
would not be surprised. Maybe he
can educate those other tone deaf
people who are hell bent on jamming
stuff down peoples throats. I guess
it shows he really is out of touch.
He should get away from those people who
are his bobble heads and nod up and down
and agree with all his tripe. This ain’t
Chicago anymore Obama. This is the
big time and clearly you are not ready
for primetime.

Most of them DON’T even know why they don’t want health care
Gerry B | Jan 19, 2010 2:43:10 PM
Uh, MA already has a more liberal health care reform system put in place than the proposed Federal reform. They don’t really care much about health care, just all the out-of-state corporate money does.

This guy just doesn’t get it.

White House didn’t need a special election
So now it’s Ted Kennedy’s fault?!!???

Even if Coakley wins.. its still a loss.
She is clueless and barely a step up from Palin.
Couldn’t the Dems come up with someone more intelligent and knowledable than Coakley?

Gibbs thinks we are all stupid ! What a piece of work and we elected his boss. What were we thinking ?

Ohhhh no! You mean the pork casserole bill didn’t work to revive the economy???
Well blow me down!
Pay for play only works for the players–and mainstream isn’t playing-they’re paying for union sweet deals, lawyer exemptions,big pharmaceutical deals, Louisiana purchases and Cornhusker kickbacks.
Technology helped Barry win–but it can also be used to spread information about back room games.

the elites thought they were so much smarter than the average joe like myself. guess what a harvrd education gets you….arrogance and ignorance.

I suspect POTUS is suprised the democratic machine couldn’t just put anyone on the ballot in MA and get that person elected – it worked in Chicago for city council and US Senate, and again last year when he ran for President…
BTW, Gibbs is a tool.

I hate Republicans!Shame on you guys!!!You all should have thought that the seat was once originally taken by Sen. Ted Kennedy, one of the famous Democrat leader. If Martha looses, you all should not blame her for your choice.

I’m a liberal so I’d probably be voting for Coakley if I lived in Mass. But I’m plenty fed up with the “entitlement mentality” of the Dems. They seem to think that they’re “entitled” to win, and they don’t need to work for it. I have to give Brown credit, he worked his butt off and earned this election. David Axelrod said: “I think the White House did everything we were asked to do” for this Senate race. But when you’re one vote away from a filibuster, you don’t wait to be asked. The Dems have a lot to learn.

Am I reading this right? Did Gibbs say that upset and angry voters are to blame for our economic problems?

I think Gibbs means the Obama administration is in the White House because of that frustration and anger over the economy. He’s not blaming angry voters for the economy.

“In many ways we’re here because of that upset and anger.”
I see: blame the victims.
stuiec | Jan 19, 2010 3:22:04 PM
Or you could apply basic English comprehension (good for more than the SAT you know) and realize “they” = “the Obama administration Gibbs is the spokesman for” and “here”=”elected in 2008″. Obama was elected because of upset and anger. Hardly insulting for Gibbs to recognize that obvious fact.

We will know by this evening.

It’ll drag longer – heck, by law they can’t declare the vote closed for another 10 days (to allow overseas absentees from troops to arrive). It is interesting to note what Rasmussen’s last poll was:
Coakley (D) 49%, Brown (R) 47%
Their policy polls often run awfully questionable scripts, but when they are predicting something that will be ‘scored’, they do try to play straight.
I think this is going to drag on a bit.

“It’ll drag longer – heck, by law they can’t declare the vote closed for another 10 days (to allow overseas absentees from troops to arrive).”
Oh yeah how could I forget the “nefarious” plan to not seat Scott Brown tomorrow by actually following the law.
“It is interesting to note what Rasmussen’s last poll was:
Coakley (D) 49%, Brown (R) 47%”
I think he knows its a crap shoot.
Its weird but pollsters have begun mentioning New Hampshire.

Sounds like he is preparing to throw her under the bus

Not as interesting as you hanging onto a Rasmussen poll.

“wasn’t there an infamous Bush moment when he referenced the ‘Grecians’?”
Apparently there was though I did not remember it. There are so many it becomes difficult after a while.
“Keep good relations with the Grecians.”
Quoted in the Economist, June 12, 1999
When I hear Grecian, Reagan is the President that leaps to mind.

A software engineer in Cambridge says he was handed a fishy ballot at the polling station in a local firehouse — it already had the bubble next to Scott Brown’s name filled in… more reports coming in on the same thing happening with other ballots in different areas..

Not as interesting as you hanging onto a Rasmussen poll.
Axey | Jan 19, 2010 3:51:23 PM
Hanging onto? If I wanted to hang onto something I’d trot out the fact that in NY-23 the Democrat was down 5 points in the last polls and still won. Or I might actually care a bit more about this race, in which case I would be on the phone now (it’s incredibly easy to phone bank from home with the website they have set up). As it is, I found it interesting that Rasmussen was an outlier in favor of the Democrat – to me, seeing a firm with a Republican house effect give the lean to the Democrat was interesting and suggests this is a closer race than expected.
And hey, if Coakley does end up getting plastered I have proof of the ineptness of Rasmussen.

Did he not see the Tea Party and 912 protests?

are you talking about the FOX enhanced/fake version, or the actual events that had lesser attendance

“In many ways we’re here because of that upset and anger.”
Not for long.

I don’t believe the White House understands that the “tremendous amount of upset and anger” is with them!!!
____________________________________
Anger about the economy has a note political effect.
Reagan fell to 35% approval in his first term – due to a weak economy. This is of course far lower than Obama’s approval rating which has remained at about 50% for several months now – despite all the mud and smear hurled at him by the right.
Reagan’s numbers improved from 35% approval as the economy improved.

“Anger about the economy has a note political effect.”
Agreed.
Unemployment and Obama’s approval rating are tied together.
Which is why the GOP offers no plans.
They are counting on two things for 2010
1) First and foremost is that the economy stays in bad shape.
2) That they channel anger about the economy towards Democrats.

The sad part is the fat cat Republicans – the party of big oil, Halliburton, the Saudi’s, big banks (see Bush family) – are so cynical and manipulative, I wouldn’t put it past them to play on and encourage a weak economy to try to gain back a political foot hold.
They have come out in support of nothing the Obama administrations is doing, including tax breaks for small and medium businesses, including all the tax breaks in the Recovery and Reinvestment act.
They have been obstructionist and nothing more. Party First – Country Second is the Republican motto.

They still don’t understand that America stands for freedom unlike any other country in the world.

There are lots of other countries in the world that have carried the mantle of freedom – before it was passed to the United States – and since.
The road to freedom was a long, hard fight that did not originate in the United States, nor is it limited to the United States.

” What a friggin stupid post..and what did the democrats do in 2008?”
The Democrats campaigned on what they thought were the solutions to economic growth; regulatory reform, green jobs, health care reform etc
The GOP in contrast offers nothing except let the insurance companies do as they please and cut taxes for rich people.
“Upper right hand corner of this page..read it Poll: Majority Oppose Health Care Reform”
Try reading more than the headline there Einstein.
“Changes in the hopper as House and Senate Democrats hammer out their differences may not help. While there’s reportedly a compromise on taxing high-benefit health plans, Americans by 58-22 percent prefer higher income taxes on wealthier Americans instead. And a public option, widely reported as dead, gets slightly more support than the alternative, private plans with terms negotiated by the government – a 47-41 percent split.”
And “(Other elements of reform have been more attractive, such as covering the uninsured and prohibiting limitations on coverage for pre-existing conditions)”
Gee the most popular parts of the plan are what liberals are fighting for, right wingers are fighting against.

The little liberals are scurrying around trying to find anything to prop up their fallen leader.

The President’s approval ratings are at about 50% – a far cry from the 35% approval rating Reagan hit in his first term.
Try to study even the tiniest bit of history so your statements might have some authority. As it is, its just right wing ranting.

That is the problem with this guy.
When the people speak Obama doesn’t hear us.
Obama thinks we are his children and he knows better.

_____________________________
I know it’s hard, but try not to be so juvenile.
I bring up Reagan for the obvious reasons – both presidents were wrestling with difficult economies – not of their own creation.
Reagan fell to 35% (far, far lower than Obama) and was re-elected for a second term.

“Isn’t this because a large number of Republicans were so embarrassed by the performance of their party in the last administration they reverted to Independents?”
There is something to that given the growth of independents and the shrinkage of those identifying themselves as Democrat or Republican with Republicans falling a bit farther.
But are independents a lean right group or are they more complex?

Obama is an incompetent political hack.
_____________________________________
That’s your opinion, but he has done far better that Reagan’s 35% approval rating.
Seriously, a little bit of maturity and a little bit of studying of history would make your posts more credible.

“(1.) Reagan ended both terms of his presidency with approval rating above 60%.”
And yet he was as low as 35% approval in the midst of a bad recession and his numbers improved as the economy improved.

I’ll take Reagan at 35% bringing the Soviets to their knees ANY day over Obama at 100% while groveling to every third world dictator he can find to bow to.

Surprise is what you get when you surround yourself with yes people,and think they are telling you the truth all the time while ignoring the Public.How many times does Obama have to be told the American Tax Payer does not want his health care plan?

“”Sure you do, if they agree with you politically. Otherwise, they are just liars.”
Only when they actually lie.
Unfortunately for this country right wingers always lie. ”
================================
“We will put ALL the helth care negotiations on C-Span so that the people can see who is fighting for the special interests.”
– Barack Obama
x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8 x8

Even when handed a club to beat me about…right winger STILL can’t just report the quote.
Politifact: “To achieve health care reform, Obama said in August 2008, “I’m going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We’ll have doctors and nurses and hospital administrators. Insurance companies, drug companies — they’ll get a seat at the table, they just won’t be able to buy every chair. But what we will do is, we’ll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies. And so, that approach, I think is what is going to allow people to stay involved in this process.”

think is what is going to allow people to stay involved in this process.”
What he said and how he said it was taken by most of us that major legislation would in fact be on cspan-not behind closed doors.
I also find it ironic that he beat about the head and shoulders the drug companies and insurance companies yet when Coakley was in town a few days ago it was in fact drug and insurance lobbyist at her beck and call.

Since Obama is 50% white yet has everyone calling him african american it is about time that his popularity honeymoon is over. He is so dishonest. Please note that he spends more time on televsion that he does working. He needs to get americans working instead of admiring himself jabbering.

Perhaps it’s the reckless spending.
A failed stimulus.
Backdoor deals with pharma and unions.
Bribes using our money to buy votes for health care.
Or maybe the lies about transparency
or not raising taxes.
The wimpy way Obama handles terrorist.
But Obama is frustrated with Coakley?
The man is delusional.

Maybe he should do the right thing and resign from the presidency.

Obama is surprised.
More proof how totally out of touch and incapable of feeling the mood of the people.
I’m guessing no one is more frustrated than the Independents that truly believed in Hope and Change.
It’s time for the Independents to fix the mistake they made in 2008.

obama is surprised and frustrated? that reaction from him surprises and frustrates me. how out of touch can any one person be.

Obama is frustrated because he has finally gotten into a position to turn us into the Soviet Union of the 60′s, and now he sees it going down the drain. Too bad we are not voting on him again.

How many times can tierra use the term “smear” in one day?
It’s actually a little embarrassing watching someone just regurgitate whatever has been programmed into them.
Including the list of words to use.
“Smear” was one of the favorite terms during the election. I guess now that things are a little rocky, it’s time to re-live the glory days of “smear”.
Seriously, make some substantive comments, backed up by facts.
Quite embarrassing yourself with your Chatty-Kathy-pull-the-string robo chants.

It appears that “smear” is the word that liberals use as a substitute for the word “truth”.

“bankrupting the country to China”

I just thought this was a hilarious point for an Obama supporter to make.
WOW.

The Republican Bush administration increased the national debt by as much as every other administration in history combined. True.
And this was the Bush sell out of the country to China. Mission Accomplished.
Too bad he also left the American economy in almost complete economic free-fall collapse.
Bad combination.

I’ve got to agree with some of the others here. I don’t get where this “smear” stuff is coming from as related to Republicans.
What is even being refered to?
As for liberals and “smearing” – have you ever listened to Keith Olberman for over 60 seconds?

Teirra–
My brain shows its pretty simple. The DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD of MASS. is being won by a REP. The REP have not been allowed to go to the back room on healthcare with the DEM. REP could get stuff passed all the time with 50 votes in the senate, and the DEMS can barely get stuff passed with 60 votes. FACTS no Smear. The people have spoken in MASS, NJ, and VIRGINIA since Obama has been in office. The polls are the truth

I’ve got to agree with some of the others here. I don’t get where this “smear” stuff is coming from as related to Republicans.

Oh you mean during that time when Bush was assessing the economic collapse as ‘just a rough patch’ and McCain was assessing ‘the fundamentals of the economy are strong’.
Too bad they didn’t have a little more insight that that – millions and millions of people are suffering because they got it wrong.

How is Obama doing anything different – eexcept on steroids?
_______________________________________
Have you not studied the situation at all?
The Bush administration left a huge national debt and a collapsing economy – the worst since the Great Depression. They were very poor financial administrators and they left the country in a disastrous economic situation.
As the jobs disappeared by the hundreds of thousands under Bush, the state and federal budgets were put under extraordinary strain – another reason why the Bush administration’s national debt was so high – and why it continues today.
Every major industrialized country has instituted stimulus programs, tax cuts and deficit funding. And it has worked to stop a complete economic collapse – which is what was in the works as the Bush administration left office.

Obama
Can you hear us now?

Nice deflection there. So no comment regarding why all those dems in the House and Senate (who inherited a ROARING BUSH economy) weren’t able to do anything but sit and watch as Rome burned?

Tierra-
I might add one more thing. Voters are tired of hearing about Bush. He lost in Nov. 2008.. Its Jan. 2010. People are tired of hearing what Bush did and did not do. Its Obamas time now. Bush is history “hope”, “transparency”, and “change” is what needs to be taking place. Thats what the man won on. He has a Majority in Congress. He needs to get to work!

Bush is history
____________________________________
The Republicans may want Bush to be history, but the results of his administration are anything but history.
We’re living in the results of the failures of the Bush administration. The unemployment, the foreclosures, the bankruptcies, the propped up banks and financial institutions, the enormous national debt . .

“We’re living in the results of the failures of the Bush administration. The unemployment, the foreclosures, the bankruptcies, the propped up banks and financial institutions, the enormous national debt . . ”

During the Bush years:
- Record for consecutive quarters of GDP growth
- Unemployment under 4.5 percent
- Lower taxes
- Shrinking deficits
- Low inflation
- Low interest rates
After Pelosi and Reid take over Congress
- Well things kind of went down hill a bit.

WHERE IS JWH? Cant say much tonight! The people did the speaking.

transparent?????? not so much
change??????????? not so much
lets just keep giving $$$$$ to those who contribute nothing to taxes/society. living off the cheese the government keeps handing out. the difference being one party caters to those who live off the cheese(cigs, wine etc) for votes. the othere relies on the hardworking american citizen to push this country forward. remember the constitution?? ahhhh go ahead and ammend that too. whatever you feel is best. keep changing the rules as you go. for those of us who have healtcare provided for us by OUR employers(this is very important “EMPLOYERS”) or who pay for it through our hardwork and sweat, “keep on going.” it is us who will push us over the economic hump. GO BROWN. ONE FOR THE GOP

Coakley lost because the Democrats sold out their base. If Dems take Liberman’s advice and move to the right, they will lose even more seats. Obama needs to go after the corrupt banks who are stealing taxpayer money. The banks were supposed to start lending again after they were bailed out, but they just took the bailout money and gave it to themselves in the form of bonuses. That needs to stop.
Obama also has to take a more active role and not just turn everything over to Congress. There are so many misconceptions surrounding healthcare reform because Obama would not go out and explain the plan. He needs to lead, and not just dump everything on Reid and Pelosi.

===Posted by: Bubbles | Jan 19, 2010 10:29:20 PM===
Absolutely. You need to get on the phone and get that message out there. Obama needs to run further to the left in order to stop the democrats from bleeding.

The revolution that began with you 234 years ago got new life tonight. Thank you Massachusetts.

Tonight was a wake up call for this Administration. This election was only partly a statement about a poorly run campaign. It was also a referendum on the posture and the policies of the current leadership.
The hope is that the DNC and the Obama administration get the message and re think the way they are doing business and the direction they are taking this country. I want them to succeed, I want everyone of us to succeed.
Force feeding this agenda down our throats isn’t working and it won’t work.

This is good news but we must hold the politicians feet to the fire. Remember Republicans also can get caught up in the free-wheeling spending, corruption, and big brother law making. They might not have the radical socialist agenda as the current administration appears to have but still can be dangerous. We need a FREEDOM, non-interventionist, low tax choice who believes in limited government and the Constitution!

“The guy has the CIA, the FBI and Janet Incompetano working for him, not to mention Acorn and the entire Chicago political machine and he’s surprised? Lord help us…”
Bush’s fault. He’s the reason that Coakley lost too.

This is a sad day. Who wins? Big insurance companies and lobbyists. Who loses? Hard working people without healthcare for their families. Try to remember Bush had eight years. Give Democrats a chance. They came in between a rock and a hard place. If you can tell the difference between socialism and humantarianism . . . between selfishness and basic human decency. What would Jesus do? Practice what you preach . . . or you’re a hypocrite. Talk about socialism. What about corporate welfare??? Give President Obama a chance. He wants to create a better country. A stronger country. What kind of country doesn’t help its own hardworking people, leaving them to suffer? Greed is the root of all evil.

I sense continuing nonsense on your part

So will this bring the democrats to genuinely work as a bi-partisan congress? This one party rule that has been shoving legislation down our throats really ticks people off. Some of us thought that ‘Yes we can’ meant we could ‘All’ work together for a better future. We had not really considered that it meant that: ‘Yes we as a majority can stick it to the rest of you.’ If getting people ticked off is what was meant by getting ‘fired up’ then success there also.
Congress needs to work smarter; this is one nation. It should never be dictated by the party in power. Get to work: Respect the diversity of our nation and stop trying to marginalize the US constitution.
The unions need to clean up their act also. They need to fight to protect and keep jobs in the US, fight against imports of products that are toxic or of poor quality, and fight against unfair trade practices. Bottom line they need to fight for the American workers and not for their own sake. If they do that then the unions will thrive.

Re: “Bottom line they need to fight for the American workers and not for their own sake. If they do that then the unions will thrive.”
What do you think the unions have been doing all this time? You fools keep voting for union busting Republicans and then you wonder why wages keep going down. Republicans care about corporations. They don’t care about you. Why do you think they need propaganda from Rush, O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck 24/7? To keep you confused and afraid.
Brown will vote against anything and everything that helps the American worker. How many times do the Republicans have to wreck the economy before you guys get a clue?!
Democracy depends on an informed populace and we don’t have that anymore. Sigh…

really, didn’t seem to bother anyone but Dems when the republicans were doing it

“but not making a whole lot of sense”
Pretty obvious he made a lot of sense to Democrats, Independents, Republicans and Conservatives. He won handily, didn’t he?

Scott Brown could go down as the man who defeats health care reform. He will be the man we all think about when someone dies because they can’t afford healthcare, or can’t get health insurance. His mom will be soooh proud.
Let’s just hope this doesn’t stop the work toward responsible health “CARE” reform, as there are a lot of Republicans, who can’t see past their own wallets, with a lot of support from their puppets who believe all their propoganda, while stepping on their own toes.

_________________
Let me get this straight: the Republicans can’t past their own wallets and get support from propaganda-believing-puppets and they step on their own toes at the same time?
A lot going on here but it looks like the Republicans miss the “CARE” word because of their wallets and can’t seem to avoid stepping on their own toes at the same time – throw in their “puppet” support and you have – well – you have a lot of mixed metaphors that get all snarled up on each other.

On FoxNews they covered the entire election…and repeated it three times, with and emphasis on how bad it would be if the Democrats would force the bill through and how much momentum the Tea Party movement has.
MSNBC muted the victory speech an placed talking heads to the side who talked about how important it was for Democrats to pass something for fear of failure.
ABC covered the event and talked about how the democrats should seriously step back and rethink what they are doing and what the American people want.
Larry King had a variety of extreme views as well as an Obama Kool-aid drinker who was trying to rally support for Obamacare. She even dared to say that it was what most people want. Well apparently not the people of Massachusetts, not Republicans, and definitely not independents.
For the first time polls showed that independents actually showed more disfavor for the bill than republicans.

Just wait til Obama runs in ’12. He may not be running for the people, he may in fact be running FROM them by then!
The President, and Congress are unresponsive, either we vote them out with the ballot box, or we push them out with the other one.

Nancy Pelosi need to resign. She is a low level intellect idiot at best. She is a danger to America as she abuses her position to harm many. May H!NA find her.

Sounds like the Republicans to me, not that the rank and file can see it. They think they’re independent-thinking, self-determined rebel patriots winning something or another, despite doing exactly what the Koch brothers have funded groups to hoodwink them into doing, time and again.

I just happened to notice your response to my post.
It is always interesting to me that the left resorts to personal attacks rather than staying with the subject.
Is that the vacuousness of your positions simply doesnt lend itself to rational discourse? Or, is that a state of vacuousness in general?
