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:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
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."
President Obama isn't feeling enough heat from his base, and his naturally concilatory nature isn't conducive to fighting for what is right for this country. Which is: making the rich pay their fair share, and investing in infrastructure (that includes converting the U.S. to a clean energy economy as Germany is doing), shoring up Medicare and Medicaid, and making the social safety net as strong as it is in northern Europe and Iceland. Eliminating homelessness. A debt jublilee for students and underwater mortgages. And forgetting about the deficit--it's a fake issue. (On FSTV, there was a program on this past Saturday, Pirate Radio, where Ellen Brown, in simple language, demystifies the deficit and the Federal Reserve System.) I can dream, can't I?
Sorry, Pirate Television.
I didn't like having to vote no, but as long as the tea party radicals retain control of the House it will never pass. I am going to go out on a limb here and decalr that in November not only will Obama be re-elected, but the Democrats will retake control of the House and retain control of the senate. Only then will we see some progress.
Well I hope we will see some progress, I just hope its the right kind. I don't want the lives of so many ruined by the welfare state. And I'm sick to death of all these undeclared wars!! Stop the madness!!
The 1% will never allow any President to be for the people ,the president is helpless any president not just President Obama ,unless of course a president like JFK comes along.
