Suddenly we trust them.
The same media that decided to call the race for Brown a week ago is the one telling me, right now, that the election is a referendum on Obama's policies.

DU seems to think Brown was elected because Obama governs too far to the right.

But the GOP talk machine says Brown was elected because Obama governs too far to the left.

They can't both be right. But they can both be wrong.

1. Sure they can.
As Coakley needed votes from both camps, or rather, since Brown got votes from both camps (Obama too left/Obama too right) they are both correct since Brown won.

The right does think Obama is too left, it cracks me up. I tell them to come here and see how many think he is too right.


Personally, I'm ready for him to lead. I didn't elect him in office to be a dog gone mediator or facilitator or arbitrator.

I elected him to lead and to do what is right for the people, damn the corporations.

Wars need to end, civil rights need to be restored and Obama needs to lead and needs to stop worrying about the right. Nothing he does will please them.

2. They can both be right, too...
Given that a wingnut's (or MSM's) "left" and a Democrat's "right" can overlap. On a more inclusive political spectrum, though, both are on the right.
