Well…it seems that Bami is scared.
He is asking the congress not to “jam” through the healthcare vote until Scott Brown is sworn into office.
Bami also said that the same sort of anger that put him in office contributed to Brown’s win.
Well…He’s sort of right… The problem with his thinking is as follows:
They’re mad at Obama.
Now, he is doing something really well. Damage control.
If he had not said anything about the healthcare vote, people–myself included–would have been very upset, if he had told them to jam it through…it would have been the end of him.
Let’s just hope that Brown will turn out to be a champion for the people.
With Brown’s victory yesterday, it makes the headline in the picture that much better…
Mass. Senator Scott Brown in Cosmo...

Harry Reid had this to say regarding the healthcare vote,
“…We are not going to rush into anything. We’re going to wait until the new Senator arrives before we do anything new on healthcare.”

Now, I realized when I was at work that I may have made this sound like a victory for us…It is far from it, ladies and gentlemen. By the simple fact that they continue to try and pass healthcare shows how out of touch they are with America.
These clowns think that if they continue to do the same thing, there will be a different result…
Which is quite unfortunate for them because come November, they will be out of a job.
UPDATE: 9:03:
The liberal wind machine that is Joseph A. Palermo has been cranked up and is a-blowin’…he might just be the cause of the Left Coast’s storms…
In his article he just posted to the Huffington Post, he said that Brown won, not because of his ability to connect with the people and his stance against the President’s agenda, but, rather, because of Obama’s failure to “[listen] to his progressive base.”
So…let me get this straight, Prof., Scott Brown, Republican Conservative Anti-Progressive, won against Martha Coakley, Democrat Liberal Progressive, because Obama, Progressive Kingpin, didn’t listen to his progressive base? Are you serious?
Let me guess…
The Conservative wins in New Jersey and Virginia were caused by Bami’s lack of Progressiveness? The American people want more Progressivism, so they elect die hard Conservatives?
Palermo also blames Teddy himself for, “not cultivating an obvious heir.”
Hmm…Now, I’m no scholar like Professor Palermo here, but if I recall my third grade civics class, Kings cultivate heirs, and the Patriots revolted against the King…
But I could be wrong…
Here is his opening paragraph:
So the Senate seat that John Fitzgerald Kennedy won by defeating the incumbent Republican Henry Cabot Lodge in 1952, and then passed on to his brother, Edward Moore Kennedy, in 1962 has fallen to a Republican far more rightwing than Cabot Lodge. It’s partly Ted Kennedy’s fault for not cultivating an obvious heir. It’s partly Martha Coakley’s fault for being Martha Coakley. But mostly it’s President Barack Obama’s fault for not listening to his progressive base and forsaking us to follow the Rahm Emanuel path of cutting deals with every corporate special interest in Washington in an attempt to perpetuate Democrats in power the same way Republicans do.
UPDATE: 10:10:
I just checked Drudge and saw that Barack Obama said,
“…we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people…”

Hey, Palermo, Speaking to the American People…not the fringe Progressives!
