After Obama Rally, Dems Pin Blame On THE Bush
There are many reasons why the Martha (Marcia) Coakley race for the MA senate seat is in complete melt-down mode; but the main reason is something (or someone) we already know ALL about......
As audience members streamed out of Pres. Obama's rally on behalf of AG Martha 'Marcia' Coakley (D) here tonight, the consensus was that the fault for Coakley's now-floundering MA SEN bid lies with one person -- George W. Bush.
"People are upset because there's so many problems," Rosemary Kverek, 70, a retired Charleston schoolteacher said as tonight's rally wrapped up. "But the problems came from the previous administration. So we're blaming poor Obama, who's working 36 hours a day ... to solve these problems that he inherited."
Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), speaking with a gaggle of reporters after the event, said that while state Sen. Scott Brown (R) offers voters a quick fix, in reality, the problems created by "George Bush and his cronies" are not so easily solved.
"If you think there's magic out there and things can be turned around overnight, then you would vote for someone who could promise you that, like Scott Brown," Kennedy said. "If you don't, if you know that it takes eight years for George Bush and his cronies to put our country into this hole ... then you know we have a lot of digging to do, we're going to dig the hole much deeper, but some more digging needs to be done and this president's in the process of doing it and we need to get Marcia Coakley to help him to do that."
(Curiously, Kennedy mentioned Coakley repeatedly during his remarks to reporters, each time referring to her as "Marcia," not "Martha." Most dem's agree "Marcia" is a better name than "Martha" though, and chose NOT to correct Mr. Kennedy)
After Mr. Kennedy forgot Martha Coakley's real name, Pat showed just how defficient his memory is with this comment....
"One thing the Democrats have done wrong? We haven't kept the focus on this disaster on the Republicans who brought it upon us. We've tried too hard to do that right thing, and that's to fix it, as opposed to spend more of our time and energy pointing the finger at who got us [here] in the first place."
Yes, they haven't pointed the finger at the BUSH enough, they never EVER blame Bush!
Blaming their problems on Bush does carry a risk for the Dems. However -- they do still plan on plowing ahead with the strategy; and if they end up destroying Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, while trying to save her, well, then they can just blame Bush anyway.
