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."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"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."
Unfortunately as long as multi national can contribute to super pacs (chamber of commerce) foreign money will be part of us elections- remember bp is British petroleum. Shell is royal dutch shell. Can you say American Petroleum institue which has already threaten Obama if the pipeline to export Canadian oil to asia isn't built(keystone pipeline) with its 50 jobs
Voters can change our country by coming out in huge numbers. Obama took on 2008 global crash / depression / TARP scam- the worst economy in 80 yrs- huge debt due to corp cuts- loopholes, long failed wars based on lies and war profits .In spite of that he saved auto industry - 1 mil jobs , got Bin laden & 20 top al quada...and created more jobs in 3 yrs than Bush did in 8. Bush admin failed badly. Bush even gave corp cuts to CO's that shipped good jobs overeas . US has lived under Reaganomics Bush 1-2 GOP wealth favoring toxic policies since 1981 Reagan deregulation of the ruling class ..Wall St / Banks / International corps. FED chairmen Robt Rubin SOmmers Alan Greenspan Hank Paulson Bernacki ALL came from Goldman Sachs They sure took care of their own and screwed taxpayers royal. Wall St banks must be broken up- too corrupt, greedy and powerful . No more anti US trade policies.. Bring back Glass Steagal End SS tax cap @ 107 K Top folks must pay a bit more as they did under Clinton when economy was humming. In 2000 Bush inherited a balanced. budget, a huge surplus and millions of new jobs. After 2000 jobs -wages tanked.
I'm not overly optimistic about the Supreme Court reversing it's decision re Citizens United for some time. At least not until one or more of the right wing justices retires and hopefully is replaced by a more progressive justice who will side with the 4 who voted against this decision in 2010. More the reason to re-elect Obama.
