From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
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."
This is Obama in 2013 we are talking about.
The significance of his appointment is his affiliations with big business - period.
And to that end Obama's selection of him has sent a very strong signal that the People and their priorities can go f***k themselves.
Warrentless wiretapping? What the hell was he doing with Bush in the first place? And are you sure he didn't "stand up" to protect his own self interests? This is washington$$$ we are talking about.
