President Obama said today that the anger that elected Brown is the same anger that elected him.
"Here's my assessment of not just the vote in Massachusetts, but the mood around the country: the same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office," the president said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "People are angry and they are frustrated. Not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years." LINK
And we know that "the past 8 years" is code for anti-Bush... think post-hypnotic suggestion, and triggered response, etc. This has to be the spin of the year (and there have been so many)... to tie the Brown victory into the same anti-Bush sentiment that got Obama elected. Bravo. Another great day for creative writing. In other words, Obama is just like Brown. The people's man. Never mind the fact that he was there campaigning for Coakley, and that Brown stands in opposition to Obamacare etc.
Also, may I say that simply voting for Brown doesn't indicate anger, or frustration. Could be that many people were voting calmly and in peace out of happiness to finally have someone to vote for who gets it. Would the same be said if most voted for Coakley? Would that be out of anger and frustration? Those that vote Republican are called "angry." More spin.
