From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
—Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
—Michael Toms, Founding President, New Dimensions World Broadcasting Network and author of A Time For Choices: Deep Dialogues for Deep Democracy
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
—Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places

As much as the republicans hate President Obama, if they can get him to destroy the programs that define the democratic party, then that will destroy the base support for the party.
The base may not be willing to vote republican, but they will have no reason to vote democratic.
The GOP is not the GOP anymore, and they haven't been a halfway decent party for 40 years. Even before that they weren't the party of the people. I have never voted Republican in my life on any level, and I'm nearly 65.
Tweedle Dee is the only choice we have, or it goes to Tweedle Dum.
O will hand them the store to cut a deal and in the 11th hour pull the carpet out from under him. Fool O once shame on them. Fool O twice, thrice, etc., You can't get fooled twice....( to paraphrase a "Filosofer" named dumbya.) !!!!! This gang is still determined to undermine the President even at the expense of the republic.
