Republican Scott Brown’s stunning defeat of Democrat Martha Coakley Tuesday has likely caused some of the smiles captured in one Pete Souza photo (right) featured in the White House’s “The First Year” gallery to turn upside-down.
Below is the caption that accompanies the photo:
Dec. 24, 2009 “It was Christmas Eve. The Senate had voted early this morning to pass health care reform. The President was about to leave for Hawaii on vacation. Everyone was in a good mood as the Vice President talked to the President and Rob Nabors, the deputy director of OMB.”
Can’t wait to see the photo of the “fur” that had to have been flying in the Oval Office after Massachusetts voters decided to replace Ted Kennedy with a conservative whose campaign revolved around his pledge to become the 41st vote against the very health care reform for which the “lion of the senate” had fought so long.
