Why did Obama try to discredit Scott Brown’s win as a product of special interest & armies of lobbyists?

Seems to me the only person making backroom deals with unions not paying on health care and granting 6 billion, for no reason at all, to the Black Caucus are Obama and his Democrats.

As a Massachusetts voter, I find it strange that Scott Brown and Health Care are being closely associated. Many people here voted for Scott Brown not caring about national issues, President Obama, or Health Care. We have our own issues here, like a seemingly increasing corrupt state government, raising taxes, and doubling of tolls, benefits for illegal immigrants. We already have universal health care thanks to former Governor Mitt Romney, why would health care be an issue to us.

Plus the democrat running against Scott Brown ran a poor campaign, and did not earn the support of the voters.

Scott Brown won because independent voters in Massachusetts are tired of the Democratic party taking the working class people for granted. Not due to special interest groups, or lobbyists.

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson concert at Bottom Line on 20 Aug 77 $9.98 Before there was hip-hop, gangsta rap, Def Jam or Biggie Smalls, there was Gil Scott-Heron. Scott-Heron was a college educated, street-smart urban poet with a strong musical background – a spoken word artist whose contributions to the genre have become as undeniable as they were influential. Born on April fool’s day 1949, in Chicago, IL, Scott-Heron actually spent most of his early childhood in the Deep South, 50 miles from the Mississippi border in Jackson, TN, where he was raised by his grandmother. While there, he was picked as one of three students to integrate a local elementary school; but the experience proved as formative as it was difficult, and the young artist composed his first book of poetry during that time, at the age of 13. Soon after, his grandmother passed away, and the young adolescent moved to New York to live with his mother. It was there, while living in the Chelsea district of Manhattan, that he first encountered the writings of Harlem Renaissance poets like Langston Hughes (a lifelong inspiration and influence). With the support of his high school English teachers, Scott-Heron enrolled in Lincoln University, which he attended for two years while working on a novel (The Vulture, though not a best seller, was highly praised by both the African-American community and the mainstream media), and a book of poetry (Small Talk at 125th and Lenox). Within five years, Scott-Heron had developed into a compelling poet, novelist, recording artist and performer – having released five innovative albums showcasing his gritty, urban-landscaped poetry over the sound of cool and funk layered jazz. His powerful recording of “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” is arguably the first important recording of the genre, and has become a classic in the repertoire. Indeed, the modern hip-hop industry can look to Gil Scott-Heron as the first real pioneer of the art form as we know it. This recording features Gil Scott Heron and musical partner Brian Jackson (whom he

Martin Luther King, Jr. $31.61 There has been recent controversy in the African American community about youth and their lack of appreciation for the gains of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. This stellar biography is a superb introduction to the foremost leader of the civil rights movement. The story and historical context will be eye-opening for students and a good refresher for others who are too young to have remembered the events. In a gripping narrative style, the biography traces the young Martin, the son and grandson of formidable preachers, to his calling as a minister too, but one who would take on the entrenched racism of the South, and North, through a nonviolent movement that changed the course of American history. King’s story is compelling, starting from his early nurtured family life in an insular community of blacks in Atlanta. His education at Morehouse College, Crozer Theological Seminary, and Boston University and courtship of Coretta Scott lead into the early days of the civil rights movement and King’s leadership role in the major marches, demonstrations, boycotts, and sit-ins that took place, mainly in the South. Critical insight into the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations is given as King negotiates with the presidents for equal rights for blacks. The violent reactions against and hatred of many whites for those seeking racial justice are still shocking today. Against the backdrop of beatings, killings, bombings, threats, and imprisoning, King is portrayed as driven to lift up all Americans, even if it meant martyrdom.
