Scott Brown's Victory: Grandiosity Takes it on the Chin

President Obama's statement about the people's anger was partially correct. Such anger has nothing to do with Ex President Bush, but with the radical leftist agenda that is being pushed with obscure and unfair deals. If Ex President Bush had anything to do whith Scott Brown's victory is that the American electorate has realized that the anti Bush sentiment went too far and by electing Mr Obama it made an awful mistake tht needs correction ASAP.
