From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
It is so crazy, we get to a health issue that either should, or should not, (pick one) be of concern to ALL Americans, and the first thing the GOP thinks of is how they can use this event to get at President Obama. They make me sick! I feel like going to every place where there are a perponderance of Repubs and asking them why, specifically, they vote Republican. Nine out of ten won't have an answer, most will just do it because they are too lazy to think for themselves. (Remember, the average IQ is 100!)
Not just "no" but oh hell no. Obama isn't doing anything even remotely close to enough. He never should have allowed it here. He should have long ago secured the southern border. He should have sent medical supplies and equipment there. He should have centralized authority via CDC. He should have stopped all flights to West African nations. He should have appointed, oh I don't know, someone who actually knows something about emergency medical management or infection diseases or even medical logistics or medical administration to head this up rather than some putz insider investment lawyer maybe. And as for picking a political party to blame...I couldn't begin to care less about parties; both are owned by the same corporate interests, however, Obama is supposed to be the one "in charge". So anyone who gets sick or anyone who dies in this country because of Ebola, the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of ole "hope and change" himself.
