Blame The Black Guy

This is so raw... commentators right and left are saying the upset victory of the Massachusetts Senate race is a referendum on Obama. Obama was set up: an inexperienced kid with no depth and connections, plucked out of Chicago, and run as president. Everyone knew the disasters ahead, and this kid was too clueless to see them coming. He is a fall guy.

Scott Brown is a Bush republican who is pro-war, pro-bailout and pro-healthcare expansion(helping create the massachusetts program upon which the obama plan is based). Obama, who is embracing Bush's war, torture, govt healthcare expansion and bailout policies, is getting blamed for USA problems. When the dem loses in Massacchusetts to a republican candidate who also supports Bush's war, torture, govt healthcare expansion and bailout policies, this is a repudiation of Obama? It is all exactly the same? How do they turn more of the same into a repudiation of Obama?

It is all too raw. I've said it before, watch Volcker. He is the adult supervision, and if it looks dangerous for corporate america (they are getting everything they want now) Volcker will step in and save capitalism.

Sigh. At least it is a good time to start a business.
