What Obama Will Say After Massachusetts

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Jan 20 2010, 7:36 AM ET Comment

Marc Ambinder has interesting thoughts:
So what will Obama say when he's asked the inevitable question: what message were voters trying to send?

My guess is something along the lines of:

 "....they're sending a message to all of us in Washington, myself included, that they're impatient with the pace of this recovery... that they're worried about burdening their children with debt... that their outraged that fat cats on Wall Street, the folks who acted irresponsibly to put us into this mess, aren't sharing the pain and are getting huge bonuses. We -- and I -- have got to a better job of focusing on getting this economy back on track and doing so in a way that sets a foundation for a sustainable future. That is priority number one. It is essential. I am committed to it. Not just in words, but in action. And that means that Congress needs to make hard choices too."
