Robert Gibbs, Obama’s illustrious press secretary, was on Fox News with Chris Wallace this morning. He was doling out the same message that his boss has been touting. Scott Brown, recently elected to be the newest Massachusetts senator, was elected because people are upset about the past eight years. Yeah, Scott Brown got elected because the people in Massachusetts are so mad at George W. Bush. Scott Brown is a republican. Then Gibbs says today that people voted for Scott Brown because they support Barack Obama. HUH??? I don’t get it. They voted for Scott Brown because they don’t want health care jammed down their throats. The people of Massachusetts know what that is like and they don’t like it. The statewide health care plan is a failure. It is way over budget and people don’t get the care they were promised. Scott Brown campaigned as the 41st vote to take down health care reform. I can’t believe that I am saying this, but Nancy Pelosi actually had a sane comment. After polling the House of Representatives, there are not enough votes to pass any type of health care legislation at this time. This from Nancy Pelosi. I am convinced that Obama has no clue. He doesn’t listen to the people. He went to Ohio while he was campaigning for president. The unemployment rate was at 6.9 percent and he visited a drywall factory. He went to the same town in Ohio on Friday. The unemployment rate is at 10.9 percent and the drywall factory he visited in 2008 is now closed. Doesn’t he get it? Apparently not. He still talks about getting money back from banks that have already paid back TARP money. If you pay attention to the stock market, you will see that the stock market numbers have gone down since Obama started demanding pay back from the banks. The unemployment rate continues to go up as he continues to keep trying to tout “green jobs”, but he doesn’t see that “green jobs” are not the answer. He wants another stimulus package, but the first one didn’t work. He wants health care reform, but he refuses to listen to the American people who don’t want government intruding. What are you smoking, Mr. Obama?

This about says it all…
Where’s the transparency?
“A broken promise is bad enough in private life. It is worse in the field of politics.” – Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President (1901-1909)
While then Senator Obama was campaining for the White House, he said several times that his administration would be transparent. We, the public, would know what is going at all times through web sites and C-Span. That is not happening. We have already seen the web site that is devoted to stimulus money and where is goes, is full of mistruths. Now, we are at the pinnacle of the health care debate and the negotiations that Obama said would be on C-Span are being held in back rooms and at the White House. President Obama or BO (that’s how I like to refer to him) isn’t getting much help from the Speaker of the House, Botox Nancy or excuse me, Nancy Pelosi. When a reporter reminded her that Obama said several times that all health care negotiations be open to C-SPAN cameras, she said “There are a number of things he was for on the campaign trail.” Ouch! I am sure BO didn’t like that at all. I think he should call C-SPAN up right now and offer them full access. Wouldn’t that be a bee in Mrs. Pelosi’s bonnet.
