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 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."
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."
Tough question, because they are trying to do both actually, they will obviously do anything, no matter how low, or illegal to screw pesident Obama.
I agree with Dana Dane. ^_^ For the Republican leadership to send an open letter to the Iranian leadership, stating that "they will reverse any deal made with the Obama [camp]."
How much more disrespectful can a political party be? I would think that Abe Lincoln must have been the most disrespected US President along with Obama. Makes me sad to be a citizen of America. Makes me feel uneasy to be a Black citizen of America.
I have to agree with Dana's comments too. The primary objective here is undercutting Obama; to make the Iranians see him and his regime as most Americans and the world do--an incompentent baffoon. However, I think they would genuinely like to see a deal woked out with Iran. They know that any attack, or precieved potential attack on Israel and the Israelis will remove Iran from the map, along with any other Moslem nation which moves against Israel. The result would be an all out regional nuclear war which would severely disrupt the flow of oil and perhaps gas which could bring the industrialized world to a near stop.
As tragic as that may be, from the standpoint of Congress---Republican and Democrat---it would make their puppet masters---the corporation which run Congress---very unhappy, and we all know they get what they want. A nuclear war would distrupt the flow of oil and global financial system, and unless they have an alternative in place, that won't be allowed to happen no matter whose back they have to stab.
I think that deals will be made that can't be kept (like "guarenteeing" Israel's security militarily) the same way there was a interlocking security agreement pre-WWI. When the bluff is called, no matter who calls it, the whole house of cards collapses, again as in WWI, except the outcome will be far worse. Meanwhile, the US has little credibility global under Obama.
