It seems that Americans are an angry bunch these days.

Robert Gibbs, our White House press secretary, claimed in an interview on Fox News Sunday that the voters of Massachusetts elected Scott Brown not because they wanted to send a strong message to Washington but because of “anger and dissatisfaction at the fact that Washington far too many times puts the special interests ahead of their interests.”

He went on to say that this is the same anger that got Obama elected.

When Chris Wallace, interviewing Gibbs, noted that Brown “explicitly campaigned against the Obama agenda“. Gibbs countered, “Well, that may be what he campaigned on, but that’s not why the voters of Massachusetts sent him to Washington.”

What?

I’m totally confused.

According to Gibbs, I guess Brown campaigned with an anti-Obama message but the voters elected him because they loved Obama.

Howard Dean, the former DNC chairman was singing the same tune. He recently stated that many of the voters in Massachusetts who voted for Brown were simply angry that there wasn’t a public option in the Health Care Bill. They were still big Obama supporters, but wanted to “send him a message” that he needs to push his leftist agenda even further to the Left.

Dean wants everyone to push further Left.

President Obama tells us that the reason we voted for Scott Brown was “the same reason we voted” for him. We were angry. Oh, we aren’t angry at him- he made that perfectly clear- we’re angry at George Bush. “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.”

So we voted for Scott Brown, a republican, because we’re mad at George Bush, a republican?

The good news is that they’ve all gotten their stories straight…..

Obviously, the “anger” talking-points memo has been released. “Anger” is their new code word they are using to explain the loss in Massachusetts, the loss in presidential approval ratings, and the loss in support for this Congress.

Interestingly enough, the democrats claim that this “anger” is not aimed at them or their policies. Oh no, it’s aimed at George Bush. It’s aimed at Dick Cheney. It’s aimed at FOX News, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sarah Palin.

We’ve had enough of those guys.

No one is angry with Obama, and if they are, he’ll schmooze them a little….

He so much as said so when talking with George Stephanopolous after the Brown victory in MA. He explained to George that he was so busy with his policies this year that he really didn’t have enough opportunities to talk to the people to tell them how to feel, act, and think. He promised Americans that he would tell us how to think more in the coming year by speaking “directly” to us.

I guess 411 speeches and statements in 365 days wasn’t enough brainwashing for the average American.

It was more than enough for me.

You see, the liberals have been TELLING us what we think with all of their daily “talking points” for years- this was a favorite tactic of the Clinton machine. What they don’t realize is that many Americans no longer believe them and their lies.  Most of us don’t want our president “telling us ” stuff.

We like to be listened to.

Unfortunately, that’s not in the President’s agenda.

That’s why we supported Scott Brown. He seems to listen.

He made it clear that the seat he was seeking belonged to “the people”, not to the government, not to a party- to the people.

Hey, isn’t that what the constitution says….government by the people?

This administration would rather not acknowledge that nasty constitution…It’s so, so, so….Confining.

That’s one of the main reasons we seem angry, Barack. We don’t want more speeches or more government; we want more freedom. We want the transparency you promised us. We want you to look us in the eye, not look down on us like school children.

You condescend those who “cling” to their guns and religion. You make fun of guys who drive a truck. You rush to judgment about policemen who are doing their jobs.

Of course we’re angry. Those people are the ones who are signing your paycheck, even if they aren’t radical “intellectuals” like the rest of your friends.

We’re done being angry at Bush- Oh, you can tell us that this is his fault, but we’re not stupid. We know that YOU were in that democratic congress in 2006 that enforced many of Bush’s policies. We know that YOU voted for every spending bill, every spending increase to places like Fannie and Freddie.

You’ve been a part of the problem for years.  And now you try to wash your hands of every vote you made while you were in the Senate.

Here’s a newsflash to our President: Scott Brown was elected, not because he wasn’t like George Bush, but because he wasn’t like YOU. The New Jersey governor was elected because people were angry about YOU. Same with Virginia.

We’re angry, all right- angry about your deficit, your spending, your health care, your manufactured global warming, your increase in government, your Czars, your dismissal of the constitution, and your attempt to take our freedom away.

We’re an angry bunch.

And we plan on being angry at least until November of 2012.
