White House Spintacular: ‘Scott Brown Win Is A Referendum Against Bush Years’
by Andrew MarcusThe Chicago Tribune reassures its readers – White House: Mass. ‘messages heard’
And what were those messages?
Axelrod said: “You know, I’ll let others assess responsibility. I think the main thing that we saw in Massachusetts was the same sense of concern on the part of middle class folks about the economic situation, about their wages being stagnant, about jobs being lost, about their economic security that’s been in jeopardy.
“And this is something that predated the big recession that we’re going through,” the president’s chief political advisor said. “And that’s something that we have to pay a great deal of attention to. It is the focus of this president’s attention at all times. And we have to convey that.”
Translation: Coakley lost because the people of Massachusetts share the same concerns as the President; They all hate Bush, even if they don’t know it.
From Gibbs:
“I think that’s what we saw most of all coming out of Massachusetts, is there’s a tremendous amount of anger and frustration about where people are economically and whether this town is fighting for their economic well-being or fighting for the special interests well-being,” Gibbs said. “I think that’s what’s ultimately going to define more about the coming political battles and the upcoming election.
“Health care is an aspect of it, but this is far broader than that. There’s an anger and a real frustration. People’s jobs are being shipped overseas. As David said, they’re working harder, they’re working longer, they’re more productive, yet their wages are going down. That leads to the type of isolation and economic frustration that we felt for quite some time.”
Translation: Coakley lost because all of our talking points still apply.
Just in case you were confused, the President reiterates, [via Gateway Pundit]:
How lame…
Barack Obama blamed the Massachusetts massacre yesterday on eight years of George W. Bush.
Messages heard? This White House could use a hearing aid.

Yes we all saw the Obama telling Snufalupagus this yesterday, it is baffling.
One has to wonder, does he really believe this? Or are they trying to pull something…
White House Spintacular?
I'd say that was a Robert Gibbs "Spinchter-tacular."
Poor Bobby, I'd bet that he is registering about a 10 on the pucker scale right about now………
no you fools this was referendum on health, jobs, and the economy…not of the bush years but what is going wrong now…you are in charge and therefore responsible for what is going on now!!!
How silly is that?
These socialists must think the public is stupid.
Hey, NO-Bama….look around, you are not fooling us any more !
"How lame…
Barack Obama blamed the Massachusetts massacre yesterday on eight years of George W. Bush."
THANK YOU MR. BUSH!
What's to pull? This moron said, in essence, that Americans were angry and frustrated at the last 8 years and so the voters of Massachusetts expressed their anger at the former Republican administration by electing….a REPUBLICAN???? What the heck?
It must be nice to live in the land of Denial. My dad calls Robert Gibbs "Baghdad Bob".
I caint wait until the Dhali Bama goes to Nevada to campaign for Harry Reid, to Kalifornia to campaigh for Madame Pelosi and Babawa Boxer-shorts, and back to MA to campaign for Bwarney Fwank. Talk about toxic. Obama campaigning for an incumbent, makes about as much sense as spraying geraniums with Agent Orange.
This categorically answers the question of "Are they really that clueless?"
These folks really think we are stupid. Obama and crew won't just flat out and say it. We are pushing the progressive plan and it failed, but we will not give up on it. Just say it you cowards.
Yeah. Of course it had nothing to do with Congressional Democrats trying to take over the country. Nothing to do with Democrats and their back room deals with Senators and Union Officials while spurning any contributions by Republicans. Oh no. It's all about the money and what the government thinks drives the American people. This is why they wish to raise the nations debt limit so they borrow more money to buy off the entitlement class that is the driving force behind groups like the SEIU and ACORN.
Yes, thank you Mr. Bush!!
Robert Gibbs reminds me of another spokesman who was disconnected from reality on his master's behalf. He deserves a similar nickname. I propose we start refering to him as "Beltway Bob."
That's just ok folks. The longer they lay blame on Bush and ignore the will and plight of the average taxpayer, the easier it is to identify and remove them. We may not get quite all the seats we want come November but with these educated idiotic elitist, it will be like shooting fish in a barrel. We just need to pick off the floaters and toss them on the shore 1st.
"There is none so blind as he who will not see." In the fetid swamp, they keep their blinders on at all times.
Can someone explain this vid to me, tell me Im reading way to much into it or just hearing it wrong.
Scott Brown 24hrs later "we are past campaign mode"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCF1D6U96oE
America you keep doing the same things over and over again when it comes to dealing with all of this expecting a different outcome!?!? Thats insane!
Your playing their game… STOP and play your game through http://www.savingtherepublic.com
Their real response to the message they heard is to double down with better lies.
Leftist ideologues have only one gear, myopic discipline to their Barry and the hive… “yes master “W” evil – - Barry good.”
Hmmm.
This is one of those things, that make you go: hmmmm.
Do you reckon they corrupted, or co-opted the new guy already?
Holy shit.
Hold your horses. I can't think of a better person than Obammie 0 for 3, to hit the stump to help all these 'losers'.
That spin would be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic. Think about this without getting a headache: Barry actually has everyone around him ADVISING HIM TO SAY THESE THINGS AND WRITING SPEECHES AND STATEMENTS FOR HIM! How clueless can you be to want to slap Americans across the face with this idiotic statements? It really should be no surprise though, seeing how he's been insulting Americans since the election campaign.
To their credit, the Illiberals/Regressives excel in one way–they delude themselves with the greatest of ease. Must've been all that thinking-outside-the-box stupidity coupled with the social promotions they've received all their lives at their indoctrination centers. Demmunist control of funding for the pseud-public education system for the last 60 years probably helped.
Yeah, and when Obama doesn't get all of his "domestic priorities" rham-rodded through congress, he will blame that on Bush as well…Will there every be an end to the selfish, childishness displayed by this administration?
This administration will never take the blame for anything it does, ever! It's incapable of taking responsibility for it's actions, good or bad. Besides, if there is no "enemy" to combat, than how are they going to be able to get anything on this POTUS's agenda to pass the sniff test? They need villains in order to impose their will upon us.
A true leader would pick up the pieces, not look back, and start to move forward with out regard to political correctness hampering every word that comes out of their mouth. Only the guilty need lay blame, for they know they're wrong to begin with. Any failure by this administration will be cause and effect directly tied to the 8 yrs. of Bush.
Time to put your big boy panties on Obama…Things aren't coming up roses for you any longer…!
Demoncrats progressive agenda isnt going to change. They say they get it. they hear the american people. in fact they dont really give a flying ….. about american people. their spin is going to change… dont listen to them. Their skin is still the same their progressive ideology still remains deeply within them.
". . . there’s a tremendous amount of anger and frustration about where people are economically and whether this town is fighting for their economic well-being or fighting for the special interests well-being,” Gibbs said. "
Well Gibbs is right about that. And who has the White House been working closest with? Who has been frequent visitors to the big house? Seems like the unions' well being isn't in question. Lawyers are doing OK. Federal employees jobs are secure and on the rise. Special interests? Depends on your definition. I guess Obama's interests aren't anything "special".
Talk about tone deaf and brain dead – When BHO, the enlightened one, took office back in Jan 2009 the unemployment rate was 5% by Dec 2009 it had grown to 10 %. The Librocrats have had the House and Senate since 2006 and BHO has been in office for a year now. Librocrats – it's your mess, not Bush's, though he did help, now man up and accept the responsibility.
very apt
"Watch out for the 800-pound gorilla in the room."
"What 800-pound gorilla?"
Folks wondered if Obama would pivot to the middle a la Clinton '94. Or doggedly stick to his extremist left-wing idelogue Chicago ways. Well, WH spins Massachusets as proof they're on the right track. Then orders banking execs to the WH to be taken out back and have their knee caps smashed…so Obama can prove his populist sensitivities.
Question answered! They ain't hearing us yet. Let the electoral thrashings continue. Who's up next?
No, see, the reason Republican Brown was elected is that we need MORE SOCIALISM. And, see, the Massachusetts voters knew that Brown would help the presentdent implement more socialism. So see, it wasn't about the rejection of the communist in the White House, and those in the Senate and House at all, because we really WANT more tyranny, don't you get it? 'Bommy does…
Blaming Bush is the ONLY defense these fools have.
Robert Gibbs, the gift that keeps on giving!
I concur, thank you Mr. Bush!!
These progressive democrats have no shame.
WoW!
Now that is really interesting.
It worked when I first viewed it, now it has been scrubbed.
It was a video of Brown, on Cspan, talking like he had been there for forty years, with the normal pablum of blather……..
LMAO! You are so right!
Hey, someone once said (I don't remember who) something like; you tell a big lie loud enough and long enough, pretty soon it becomes the truth"….I think that is what they are aiming for…after all, the "Lame steam media" believes anything the messiah says…
These people are delusional, they belong in the mental hospital.
Bagdhad Bob is not dead. He is a writer for the Democratic Party
He's too arrogant to think anyone could be displeased with HIM. Moreover, he doesn't really care what you think if you're not a TERRORIST.
And I've come to feel as I do about most Progressives these days, that it is no longer important that they understand or hear conservatives. It's not important that they try to work with us.
It's only important that they are driven out and contained as one would contain a viral pathogen, and rendered ineffective with the same extreme prejudice.
One word for this is "O'blamamania"!
Hehehehe!! Hahahaha!! I cannot stop laughing! Is Obama serious? LOLOLOL!
Wait. This guy is running our country. O_0
Obama and his administration reminds me of Gen. Custer right before the at the battle of the Little Big Horn. Remember men take No Prisoners.
So, once again we have the "Blame Bush" meme.
Right? Only stupid people would buy another GE product when their old GE product turned out to be a lemon. Cause that's what stupid people do. Stupid people don't learn from their mistakes. Stupid people do the same thing over and over and expect different results. Stupid people keep flying around in mad dashes to save this candidate or that one, or save a global warming conferences, or save an Olympic bid for their home city, or… uh.. wait.
I like "Fibbs".
He's not in Kansas anymore. He's living in the White house with the wicked witch.
It's fine with me if they want to point at W and continue along their merry way, in fact I prefer it. I'm with cowbow, let them campaign together in Nevada, Kali, et al. Let them ignore what's happening, please do carry on. Facts are stubborn things and less and less people buy the blame bush narrative every day.
Many people think that it's a quote from Adolf Hitler, but I believe it was actually Joseph Goebbels that said this, but it has been condensed. I believe this is the full quotation???
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
if that link doesnt work try this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L7n8vyz0xk
Denial is the first sign….he's addicted to his agenda. The country wants him to put it through rehab but alas, he doesn't think his agenda is the problem. Problem is- he has surrounded himself with other Obama agenda addicts and they keep telling him that it is not a problem. In the meantime, us sober minded folks can see that indeed, has become accustomed to overindulging in the Country's Coffers and now he can't kick the habit. I once kept company with addicts. My poor mother and father… Anyway, with an addict- it is never their fault!
Please, for the love of God and all that is holy……Please don't change, Democrats.
It gives us such pleasure to watch you drown.
Here's my personally favorite lame-@ss liberal spin of the last few days: "We thought we had a 'mandate' from the American people…" Oh yes, a mandate to destroy our country!!
Schumer is next on my list.
Stupid people is as stupid people does!
I think Robert Gibbs and Baghdad Bob are the same person. They certainly went to the same journalism school of denial.
they have to say something…
Even if it's stultifyingly stupid like this. No one believes this slobber, not even those who utter it. Gibbs is a charlatan, a fool, and a liar-
But HE doesn't believe it, either…
I'm very much looking forward for the kiss of death to be planted on Harry Reid too! Maybe Obama will "phone-in" the stump speech like he did for Coakley. Obama can say things like:
"Hey! Vote for my friend Harry! He's got some gray hair, and he's had some work done, you know, so er, uh, he's not gonna get a job doing much else. 'Cept maybe being a greeter at Wal-Mart! Heh. Y'all got Wal-Marts here? Yeah. You see some funny people in Wal-Mart. I've heard that ,anyway. One of my daughters' friends' cousins knew somebody that went to a Wal-Mart and we heard about it from her. Harry, you go to Wal-Mart?"
(Harry Reid, aghast and nervous, tucks his head further into his chest.)
"Doesn't Sarah Palin shop at Wal-Mart? I bet Scott Brown buys truck things at Wal-Mart. OK, everybody! Vote for Harry Reid on Tuesday!"
we are crushing them into dust. The foreign invaders are getting destroyed and we are winning. Nevermind the M1A2 rolling through the city. I guess if global warming causes global cooling then Bush to blame for this. Actually he is but for a much different reason than stated by "fibbs"
Here guys and girls:

For your viewing pleasure.
Sorry. I couldn't resist…………
I really hate it when I tell someone that I'm angry, then tell them why I'm angry, and they insist that I'm angry for some other reason entirely.
I really, REALLY hate that.
This absurd administration has diarhea of the mouth.
OK, Gibbs and Axelrod. Explain why Martha was up by 30 points before you allowed Dirty Harry to pull the Christmas eve debacle. Her loss couldn't have anything to do with the horrible health care bill? Yeah, right.
Was it an old vid of his STATE senate days?
Funny.
He could even include: "Harry is a light skinned caucasion, and does not speak with a honkey dialect, unless he wants to when he is back home in his polagimist Mormon enclave………."
The Sharks In A Feeding Frenzy? There Is Blood In The Political Waters Over This Scott Brown Win In The Bluest Massachusetts. The Kossacks are Attacking Hillbuzz.
Meanwhile Billy Jeff Weighs In On Hog Futures
I linked to Monica Crowleys’s article, and post on this topic The Return Of 42. Bill Clinton met with Barack H Obama to give him some advice. I think it’s a mistake to underestimate Bill Clinton at anytime, anywhere but the Obama administration isn’t strong on their learning from history….If I was Barack H Obama, I would be watching my back. On Michelle Malkin’s Blog she has a post up The Kossacks are attacking Hillbuzz, how stupid is this to attack Hillary Clinton Supporters?
There is blood in the water over this Scott Brown Win…battle lines are being drawn.
http://youhavetobethistalltogoonthisride.blogspot...
You guys are GREAT! However, we haven't seen anything yet. This progressive (MARXIST) movement has been going on a long time and it's not Party specific (Democratic/Republican)! Go TEA PARTY!!!
" Fibbs " LOL
Of course it is about the last 8 years, that includes ALL of your presidency, Mr. Obama.
The second link worked (below)
I think I see a Horn starting to grow out the middle of his forehead, I hope he is just playing them, otherwise the people of MA have been played.
Hate to say it, but…
Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms may include:
Believing that you're better than others
Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
Exaggerating your achievements or talents
Expecting constant praise and admiration
Believing that you're special and acting accordingly
Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings
Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
Taking advantage of others
Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
Being jealous of others
Believing that others are jealous of you
Trouble keeping healthy relationships
Setting unrealistic goals
Being easily hurt and rejected
Having a fragile self-esteem
Appearing as tough-minded or unemotional
Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal. In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don't value themselves more than they value others.
When you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may have a sense of entitlement. And when you don't receive the special treatment to which you feel entitled, you may become very impatient or angry. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — the best car, athletic club, medical care or social circles, for instance.
But underneath all this behavior often lies a fragile self-esteem. You have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have a sense of secret shame and humiliation. And in order to make yourself feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and efforts to belittle the other person to make yourself appear better.
Yeah that worked, thanks
Sadly, they (Progressive/(MARXIST) will be willing to KILL anybody who disagrees with their Marxist agenda! It's called Jacob's trouble!
LMAO
SNL needs to do a Barry spin off, oops I guess he beat them to it.
They are not pragmatic, they are MARXIST, who will KILL anyone/everyone to get what they what if necessary!!!
Both!
Gibbs is the personification of the term, "Epic Failure."
The student didn't get the lesson. This is fair.
We will just reschedule another class for them in November.
Hello, they have taken over the country all ready!!! What happens if they STOP the 2010 elections under the "Bush Domestic Terrorist Bill?" They will have no problem getting the prisoners/illegals to kill us! PS: Both Bush's were "Progressives" too!!! GO "TEA PARTY" Candidates!
Here here!!
They gave it to us, so now it is OUR term.____marxist progressives, you have just been__TEA BAGGED!!!!!____While I feel just a tad funny saying that Ms. Coakley got tea bagged, I believe it’s not only time to take back our country, it’s time to take back the meaning of tea partier, tea bagging, and really, all things tea. Scott Brown represents a voice against those who have abused their power. We, the strong, who are fed on the delicious nectar of freedom, hearby reclaim ‘tea’! Getting tea bagged now means any Big Government politician getting whipped by someone who believes in freedom. The Tea Baggers of Old (1773 types) would agree.__
Bush = Republican
Obama = Democrat
Voters = Angry at 8 Years of Bush
Bi-Conditional of Obamalogic:
If people vote for a democrat in Obama in 2008, then they are mad at eight years of a Republican presidency in Bush.
If people are made at eight years of a Republican presidency in Bush, then they will vote for a Republican Senator in Brown.
What kind of logic is this? If this is the kind of intelligence that the media raves about in Obama, then I sure as heck don't want to see his unintelligent side. Oh wait, we already have.
I hear you, and agree they would be warming up the ovens tommorow if they could manage it.
The reality is that America is not populated with uneducated peasants, or unarmed pacifists, they will find the killing fields a little harder to till if they every try that route.
They are dangerous becasue their moral compass only points towards absolute power, anything in the way will get bulldozed if at all possible.
Pre-empting you SNOPES fans. Snopes doesn't give a "false" to this claim.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/vaknin.asp
I agree with you, even barney "the pimp" frank said they need to listen to the voters. who the hell is whispering in obama's ear?
Stupid fingers. I know that mad is not spelled with an e.
NEVER HAPPEN, HE'S TOO ARROGANT!!! We are a progressive society in recent years. He'll also be looking for the women support again!
PS: Look down any street in America!
Absolutely. And The One will take His party and the Kool-aid drinkers down with him. As it says in the Bible, "If the blind lead the blind, will they not both fall into a pit?"
Just blame BUSH! I get it. The chosen one said the other day after Scott Brown won that he was going to start listening to the people, OK which people? ACORN the SEIU sorry he's already is listening to them how about the U.N. they are always a good source of information about where to send our money. Maybe he needs to do a listening tour, wouldn't that be fun. November 2010 ought to be an interesting tune for him to listen too! Let's call it "Change you can count on". If you don't vote don't bitch!
Repeat after me….."Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest Dear Leader of them all?"
Mirror answers: "Why you are Barry!"
They have to say this. If they admit what really happened, (and don't kid yourselves they know). They would have to abandon their agenda.That won't happen. They hate that we have them figured out, they will push harder.
A fragile self-esteem from a mother that abdicated her responibilty and a father that abandoned him.
well, it took carter 4 years to learn a lesson, I'm sure obama will learn the same lesson. Let him live in dream world, let him listen to the yes men and union bosses. the more he deludes himself, the easier it will be to get him out in 2012. You cant know whats right, unless you see what is completely wrong, folks across the nation are learning this as we speak.
I would really like to know if Gibbs believes his own nonsense.
sorry about bad link in my main post i dont know why it stopped working and BG wont let me edit the orig post with the new link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L7n8vyz0xk
Yep. It's sad, but the truth often is.
I am not in the least amazed by what Obama said. He is very consistent. I am amazed, given that consistency and the facts (the real ones) that nobody in the media challenged what he said. Was there anyone? ONE?
BAGDAD Gibbs has no FREAKING clue !!!! KISS THE RING GIBBS !!!!
Love it love it love it !!!!
