(Washington, D.C.) The upset election of Republican Scott Brown to fill the Senate seat of the late Ted Kennedy has left Senate Democrats and the Obama White House scrambling to rescue health care reform.
White House Spokesmen Robert "Bob" Gibbs was firm in the White House position however:
"The outcome of Massachusetts is not going to stop the President from pursuing health care reform. Has the political environment changed? To use the metaphor of weather; or let's be more specific, global warming, can we change something that is already at a point of crisis? Can we do that by just putting on some extra sunscreen or buying more Bermuda shorts? No, we….oh I got nothing."
