Joe Scarborough: Senate GOP’s Top Goal to Unseat Obama in 2012 ‘Pathetic’
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell claimed the GOP's top goal was to ensure Barack Obama is a one term president – and Joe Scarborough thinks that is “pathetic.” Apparently, Scarborough was hoping that the Republicans would work with President Obama on bipartisan legislation, and put the political battles on the backburner. Ron Brownstein, columnist for the National Journal and President of Atlantic Media, reported that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has, as the GOP's top goal, to unseat President Obama in 2012. “That is embarrassing!” Scarborough exclaimed. “I want to take control of the Senate so I can worry about an election two years away,” he mockingly imitated the Republicans. Brownstein cast it as a sign of the times. “In a Juan Williams-fired world, everybody is looking to sharpen the divisions, clarify the differences, and fire up the base, and that may be more of what we see over the next two years than in '95-'97,” he remarked. Scarborough, however, was still up in arms. “Can I just say it for the record?” he remarked of the GOP's goal. “That is pathetic.”
