Republican Scott Brown has been running ads in Massachusetts where he is out driving around in his old pickup truck while campaigning for US Senator something Marcia Martha Coakley refuses to do.
On Sunday Barack Obama slammed Scott Brown and his truck several times in his Bush-bashing campaign speech for Martha Coakley.
Maybe Barack Obama didn’t notice that Scott Brown’s truck is a GM truck.
A GMC Canyon
Hat Tip ebayer
Maybe Obama forgot that the US now OWNS General Motors.
You’d think he’d want Americans to “Buy GM” not “Bash GM”?
You’d think.
More… Scott Brown gave an excellent rebuttal to Obama’s truck bashing.

This is how out of touch Obama and his teleprompter speechwriters are.
They think it is about the truck. They don’t understand it is about the man inside the truck.

“There were going to be some who stood on the sidelines, who were protectors of the big banks, protectors of the big insurance companies, protectors of the big drug companies who were going to say, ‘You know what, we can take advantage of this crisis,’” he told the crowd.
Yes, they never let those crises go to waste, right Obama? BTW, Just last week your candidate was at a Big INSURANCE and BIG DRUG fundraiser. It is amazing that you guys are allowed to get away with bashing the industries that fund your campaigns.
Just words, just speeches

” . . . Forget the truck. Everyone can buy a truck.”
That stupid throw-away line of his will cost her more key votes than nearly anything else any of the Democrats have done in this race.
Democrat votes.
January 18th, 2010 | 7:30 am | #28
“Everyone can buy a truck.”
Sorrry. Not in this economy.
P.S. While anyone can run for office, only those who really want to know what the people think, get out there and shake hands, listen and visit. Those who don’t care what the people who vote think, bash their opponent for doing a perfectly legitimate activity and think they’re clever in the process.
January 18th, 2010 | 7:57 am | #29
Anyone can buy a truck not made by Obama union sheep who get special tax breaks. Toyota Tundra is starting to look very good.
January 18th, 2010 | 8:05 am | #30
Sadly, everyone can not buy a truck.
The Dems will try to steal this election but they have never so deserved to lose in a landslide.
The Dem stupidity is stunning and they deserve to lose on that score alone. Forget policy.
I have no idea what the unemployment rate is in MA but if it is like the rest of the country people are struggling to keep their trucks and their jobs and Mr Obama is living like a king in DC. How’s that class warfare working out for you sir?

Ooohhh….Not so good for the governmental head to make fun of GM (Government Motors).

I hope that after Scott Brown wins on Tuesday, he will find some time to drive his truck up to New Hampshire to help sweep away some of the libs up here…
My prediction for New Hampshire – we will flip one or both of the House reps and keep Judd Gregg’s seat Republican…
January 18th, 2010 | 8:32 am | #33
He’s obviously been watching this race closely….I have too and even donated to Scott Brown last week, but I didn’t realize he was campaigning around the state in his truck. Too funny.
But just like the Olympic bid, he’s putting his political capital on the line. Hopefully, the result will be the same here.
January 18th, 2010 | 8:32 am | #34
Did he really drive the truck or is it just for show?
January 18th, 2010 | 8:33 am | #35
What do you expect of this neophyte who has never run anything but his mouth, and for that he needs assistance in the form of a teleprompter. One wonders who is behind the curtain feeding information to the lackey. Sorry Barry, but kicking that dog only makes it bark & growl louder, attracting stares and comments that, ‘you seemed so nice last year.’ Keep it up !!

Interesting that Obama would slam Brown’s ad campaign as “slick”. He was elected on nothing more than good packaging. Have to love someone who dislikes his own tactics (grassroots movements, good ad campaigns) being used against him.

Too bad the Democrats didn’t bother checking in with the American people before ramming socialist health care down our throats — this was a left turn off a cliff and people are really wee-wee’d off. But hey, not everybody can by a truck you know . . . more to the point, I cannot buy a truck, though I’ve wanted one for five years. I have too many other expenses like helping to bail out banks, insurance companies and auto companies, to say nothing about worrying if I’ll have a job next year, but I sure would like a Ford F150 pickup to go hunting with. Maybe Obama can dip into his stash of stimulus cash and buy me a Ford truck since Ford didn’t get their fair share of the bailout loot? $30K should do it. I’d be eternally grateful, and would definitely vote for him next time in appreciation — if there is a next time. After all, why should I be denied what I want when everybody else is getting theirs?

Oh, you know Barry is soooo jealous of Scott Brown about now.
Barry’s hurting. He’s not feeling the love. The adoration he’s come to expect. He’s supposed to be the savior! But that Scott-out-of-nowhere is getting all the love now!
Well, we know Scott isn’t a savior. And more importantly, Scott knows he’s not a savior. He’s simply a man with clear thinking, solid values and integrity.
One who loves his country.
So Barry tries to dismiss and demean Scott. He’s totally clueless about what makes a man whole and lovable. It’s too bad he doesn’t have more depth, more self-awareness, than this transparent jealousy.
Barry is really to be pitied. That narcissism keeps getting in the way of his growing up.

Obama’s disparaging comments about Scott Brown and his pickup truck are simply a manifestation of liberal hubris. They are so out of touch with the people they are supposed to work for defies description. Liberal snobbery that excludes anyone and everyone who doesn’t share their stilted reality. Chris Matthews’ leg tingle doesn’t extend to the unwashed masses. Whether by plan or circumstance, the pickup truck resonates with most Americans while limo liberal stupidities don’t. Obama doesn’t get it and none of his people do, either. It is simply a mystery to them. Therein lies a tale.

One ad for the 2012 election:
Obama in 8 clips: “We’re gonna have this on C-SPAN so everyone sees what’s being negotiated”
News clips of closed door meetings: “Obama meets with unions about health care” “Obama meets only with Democrats on health care”
Narrator at end: “Trust is essential for a leader! Do you trust this guy?”
And just for some fun: Clips of Dem leaders explaining how this isn’t a broken promise. Telling us “chattering class” that it’s just Him being pragmatic and thoughtful. What??
I’d do same type commercial on other subjects too:
- Lobbyists in administration
- Posting legislation for FIVE days before vote (Stimulus, “it’s about jobs”, yeah he said that)
- Transparency in gov’t (see above)
- Tax cheats in, and in charge of Tax department (Little Timmy)
- Post racial (acting stoopidly, DOJ drops charges for Voter Intimidation)
- Post partisan (I won! We’re keepin’ score braddah)
- Change the way DC does business (Won’t sign bills with earmarks, but i will for ones with 9,000 of ‘em)
- Afghanistan is the good war (At least for another year, then we’re gone; not in it to win it)
- Gifts to Unions and cronies (You really didn’t think there wouldn’t be payback for half-billion $$$ campaign, here union have a car company)
There are sooooo many things to beat this guy on it’s not even funny. So many things that the MSM cannot hide forever.

If you guys think this is an “old” truck, I think it shows how out of touch you all are with reality (not that this is surprising). Where I live, which is the real world, I could show you some old trucks. My neighbor has a truly “old” truck. You can here him coming home a block away.
Pickup trucks are a classic tool for political manipulation. That is the point. It is true. Anyone can buy a truck.
You people don’t even know when you’ve been had. Mr. Pinup Boy is no more a “regular guy” than George W. Bush was.
