On his first Sunday show appearance, the Republican from Massachusetts said President Barack Obama is not so bad after all, and the tea partiers were not the only ones to get the senator elected.
After declining, in several ways, to answer whether the president was leaning toward socialism, Brown said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the president is “a good man.”
“He has a good family. He has two wonderful daughters...I recognize that challenge and what that can hold and I respect the office of the president and I’ve always said that he is an American,” Brown said. “I know he cares deeply about our country, but there’s just different priorities.”
About snubbing Sarah Palin at a Boston rally and not attending tea party protests in Washington? Brown said he had a job to do.
"My role now as an elected official is to do my job," Brown said.
After a few months in Washington, Brown said his view of the town has not changed.
"Washington is broken, the perception is correct," he said. "There’s too much partisan politics involved and as I’ve said before, I’ll be the 41st vote when its appropriate and when it deals with issues effecting my state and this country, and I’ll be the 60th vote because we need to get things moving. People are hurting."
