Liberal Angst?
By Louise
NPR is reporting that White House aides and communications director Dan Pfeiffer says the White House is sure 'Liberal Angst' over healthcare will go away once Obama signs the upcoming Healthcare bill. According to Dan Pfeiffer, White House communications director, "We're not overly concerned about these things, first and foremost because there isn't an election tomorrow, not an election the next day." People close to the negotiations say that the House will roll over on the public option, and is only asking that federal antitrust protections be stripped from insurance companies, and that the insurance exchange be run federally rather than by the states - pretty much dropping all the other progressive provisions in the House bill so it can get through a Senate controlled by bought-off corporate-owned shills like Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, and Mary Landreau.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
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:
"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."
