Obama's Policies Rebuked

The last time Republicans held NY-09 was 1922.  That was until Tuesday.  Republican Bob Turner soundly beat Democrat David Weprin.

"We've been asked by the people of this district to send a message to Washington," Turner told supporters after the landmark win. "I hope they hear it loud and clear. We've been told this is a referendum. Mr. President, we are on the wrong track. We have had it with an irresponsible fiscal policy which endangers the entire economy."

Voter frustration with Obama put Weprin in the unlikely spot of playing defense. A Siena Poll released Friday found just 43 percent of likely voters approved of the president's job performance, while 54 percent said they disapproved. Among independents, just 29 percent said they approved of Obama's job performance.

“Families are frustrated and afraid, and it’s time that Washington stops spending money that it doesn’t have and starts getting people back to work,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA),  said in a statement today. “Bob Turner will be a partner in our efforts to do that.”

“I think it’s a big red flag,” Stu Rothenberg, editor of the Washington-based Rothenberg Political Report, said of the New York election results. “The ramifications go well beyond Queens and Brooklyn.”

He called it “a warning sign that voters who are dissatisfied with the direction of the country may well be more likely to take it out on the president and his party than on congressional Republicans.” 

This is a stunning rebuke of Barack Obama and his policies.  This is the seat Anthony Weiner held.  NY-09 has always been a strong Democratic seat.

America is speaking.  No more European socialism.
