WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- Voter anger that helped Barack Obama win the White House resembles that in Massachusetts, where Scott Brown was elected U.S. senator, Obama's spokesman said.
"That anger is now pointed at us because we're in charge -- rightly so," spokesman Robert Gibbs said at a White House briefing Wednesday -- a day after Brown, a Republican state senator, defeated Democratic state Attorney General Martha Coakley in the U.S. Senate race.
