mr. whatever scott brown, mr. i am against obamacare, mr. scott brown himself apparently does not even know what to say now when he is asked in new hampshire about whether or not the state ought to expand health insurance access under obamacare. scott brown, mr. i'm against obamacare, the man who person phis running against obamacare for the republican party now that he is running for office right now cannot even answer basic questions about what the state he is running in should do about obamacare. he cannot answer the question, because expanding health insurance in new hampshire probably at some level makes sense for new hampshire. but that is obamacare, and being against obamacare is the one thing people are supposed to know about scott brown that does not make them laugh out loud. poor scott brown, live free and die. frank rich joins us next. stay with us. are you ready grandma? just a second, sweetie.
