Sad but true Our NOT liberal - too accomodating President gives too much for too little . Its called bribery and blackmail I'd like to see Grayson / Warren 2016 We need an A$$ kicker in White House . And I voted and made calls for Obama twice. I do appreciate the horrid conditions he's had to work under ..devious funded by billionaires Tea baggers - GOP congress- Boehner Cantor De Mint and GOP vow to make Obama fail. Its a disgrace .
Let's hope the Democrats have learned they have some leverage. Despite comments to the contrary, giving a dam (hydro) to Kentucky in exchange for votes reminds me of the way LBJ used to get votes. At least it will benefit the community. Earmarks and pork seemed to get a lot more done than today's lobbyists, back in the day and everyone seemed to benefit with jobs, local economy growth, etc. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but hey, whatever works.
Nancy Pelosi is on record for supporting chain CPI. Sorry, just because Obama refused to allow the Republicans to gut his healthcare legislation does not mean that he has found his backbone.
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
—Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."

Don't ever hold your breath when democrats can be bribed by lobbyists. They owe us nothing. They think.
All Congress and Senate members need something to fear.
