Trouble in Massachusetts


Today marks the first anniversary of Barack Obama's Presidency. How do you think he's been doing? The voters of Massachusetts certainly have a strong opinion on this, and have voted for a republican, Scott Brown, to inherit Edward Kennedy's Senate Seat. This is particularly humiliating for the Democrats as the seat had been in their hands for 38 years and Brown's win breaks their filibuster-proof 60 vote majority. Here is reaction to that win from the Boston Globe, the New York Times, and Fox News, plus comment on Obama's first year from the BBC's correspondents.

  1. Frankly, the fact that the pictures that Scott Brown did for Cosmopolitan magazine aren't up here is shocking to me!
