Million A Day For Brown, Video: ‘Cool Cat’ Obama Showing Claws

January 15th, 2010 11:23 am Author: Jayde Wyatt

Avalanche support for Scott Brown is said to be garnering a million a day for his campaign. Let’s not kid ourselves – he’ll need every penny. The opposition has awakened and is scrambling to alert the Ted Kennedy crowd about the growing momentum for Brown. Martha Coakley is running negative ads round the clock. Bill Clinton and John Kerry are coming to town. Vickie Kennedy (widow of Ted Kennedy) is speaking against Brown and flooding Massachusetts with letters pleading for Martha money. Newt Gingrich remarked to Sean Hannity (FOX News) on his program last night that unions are reportedly bussing in bodies from Baltimore and Philadelphia to add muscle to Coakley’s campaign.

Knowledgeable sources in Massachusetts tell The Daily Caller that Republican candidate for Senate, Scott Brown, has raised at least $1 million dollars every day this week, most of it online.

Although Brown’s campaign touted Monday’s money-bomb fundraiser that brought in $1.3 million dollars, the campaign declined to confirm totals for other days this week.

“I can’t comment on figures,” said spokesman Felix Browne.

While poll numbers show a Republican win is plausible in the state where Sen. Ted Kennedy long served, neither the RNC nor NRSC has sent much money north.

Brown will face Democrat Martha Coakley in the special election for the Massachusetts Senate seat on Tuesday.

If there is anyone in America who doesn’t think Barack Obama is twitching his whiskers over the MA special election, the cat is out of the bag. The ‘cool cat’ isn’t so confident in Coakley’s abilities to carry his agenda to victory. Here’s Obama’s hastily crafted video (made 1/14/10):

Obama’s ‘rally the alley cats’ message to pounce on the potential vote which would bring a halt to his confiscation of the health care industry coincides with the secret deals made in the last two days:

President Obama summoned House and Senate Democratic leaders to the White House late Thursday to discuss an apparent breakthrough in health care reform negotiations — on the make-or-break issue of taxing high-value health plans and other issues.

After enduring months of criticism that he was too detached from negotiations — criticism mostly expressed in Democratic cloakrooms on Capitol Hill — Obama has jumped in with both feet. He has personalized a marathon push to land a health care deal this week or early next week, telling lawmakers and key stakeholders that he will not tolerate failure and that compromises, even hard ones, must be achieved on a tight schedule.

House and Senate negotiators resumed marathon talks with Obama at the White House around 9 p.m. Thursday. The president left the Cabinet Room meeting shortly after 1 a.m. Friday and the session ended about 25 minutes later.

In a statement, the White House said “solid progress” was made toward a final package. The meeting came after most of the same lawmakers spent more than eight hours at the White House on Wednesday trying to hammer out a deal.

The breakthrough announced Thursday was a byproduct of the previous days talks: a deal on so-called “Cadillac” insurance plans. The White House and top union leaders heralded the agreement, which shields all union workers for five years from significant taxes on health benefit packages that non-union workers will face starting in 2013.

In summary, Obama has crafted a sneaky overnight deal that gives unions and government employees a FIVE year exemption from the health care tax. This translates to a $60 BILLION gift which WE will have to pay.

If Obamacare is so good, why do so many need exemptions to get it passed? I guess the bill is only good if  paying for it doesn’t apply to you. Is this what our Founding Fathers had in mind?

Obama’s hissing cats on Capitol Hill and in Massachusetts need to be run up a tree.

ELECT SCOTT BROWN! End the health care reform farce!

UPDATE: Obama WILL campaign personally for Coakley as Massachusetts Senate race tightens.

Republican state Sen. Scott Brown is running neck-and-neck with Coakley in recent polls of the Bay State as both vie for the Senate seat long held by Edward M. Kennedy  The winner of Tuesday’s special election will become the first person not closely affiliated with the Kennedy family to hold the seat since 1952.

The White House had been saying for days that the president had “no plans” to go to Massachusetts, but the loss of the Senate seat would greatly complicate, if not doom, the fate of health-care reform legislation moving through Congress.

White House officials played down the significance of the president’s trip, saying only that Obama is happy to be able to accept the campaign’s invitation.

    I just got off the Organizing for America conference call and here are some of the information I gleaned:

    Obama’s campaign organization (Organizing for America) has 100 offices around the country where over 1,000 people made calls yesterday for Martha Coakley. They made over 90,000 calls into Massachusetts and they are making even more today.

    The call which will happen again at 4PM today had 1,000 people on it because Obama has mobilized his entire network of support for this race. On the call, it was stated repeatedly that this race is drastically important for not only health care, but for the entire Obama agenda.

    Don’t let anyone try to tell you that Obama isn’t doing everything in his power to win this seat.
