Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
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."
With the results of low voter turnout, and gerrymandering, manipulating the voters, Obama is the only defense American have from the Billionaire Hacket Party. Anything they pass will only benifit the same old corrupt parasites, attacking the Middleclass
It will be more of the same.
Get more done? Be serious. Of course not, but then that just doesn't pertain to Republicans. It includes Democrats just as much. As for Obama being the president, it really doesn't matter who the president is or what political party they belong to.
I agree with TxPeon. Both political parties are wings of the Corporate Party whose aim is protecting the 1% and their wealth which is done, in part, through gerrymandering, voter manipulation, and sleight of hand by the corporate media. However, Obama is no defense first or last from anyone or anything. He is as useless as he is incompetent. I don't say that specifically because of his lack of experience or intellect. I say thay because the US presidency is little more than a figurehead for the puppet masters just like Congress is.
They will pass bills with the usual rhetoric to confuse voters into assuming the bill was in their interest.
They will pass removing Obama care, austerity measures (Greek style), end abortions, cut funding for the EPA and change the Senate rules back to 51 votes (2/3 vote) at least that is what McConnell (R) KY says he will do to stop Obama.
Yes, the GOP will pass more laws but most will be detrimental to the nation and society and environment as a whole.
