From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
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."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
The People are fed up, and though Obama is a slightly prefereable candidate, he's also bought and paid for. The candidates that could make a real diference are the 1's running for congress. More progressive members in congress might help break the gridlock. Unfortunately, I don't see congressional races getting a lot of media traction anywhere.
Obama is much better chocie than Corp cut- deregulation loving -womens rights taking Ss gutting. . GOP Mitt Ryan & Santorum But I fear GOP Kochs -Dick Armeys and their billionaire pals have more dirty tricks up their sleeve . I put nothing past them They have Fox Beck Hannity Rush & Tea Bagger congress working hard to crush Obama as they vowed years ago. Economy was not # ! goal Nor were jobs . GOP has done all the can to prevent a recovery. Now that economy is slowly improving Its driving them nuts . Paul Ryan may be Mitts VP . That spells total disaster for middle class, healthc are, education, Medicare and wages . GOP loves anti union / Right to work laws aka Work for LESS. Just listen to what they propose to do TO America
Oh please There is NO comaprison You ignore Obama accomplsihemts. Affter taking on worst crash in 80 yrs . Bin laden- top Al qauda dead. Middle class tax cuts / Obama Saved US auto industry & its 1.1 jobs . Economy is slowly coming back. Obama 's Foreign policy has been mostly successful Works very hard- has shown guts & accomplished what Bush Cheney were too weak to do .Bin laden & Iraq.. Obama did not lie us into Iraq killing & wasting trillions . .Did not give unfunded corp cuts- loopholes or threaten to gut SS or our kids education . Mitt Ryan are more of the same or worse GOP policies that failed so horribly - led to disaster - depresion/ long wars - corp perks - lies- greed -deregulation.
The Right Wing canidates are so out of touch with the comon man that they have no concept where the %99 of us are. The never have had food insecurity where we wondered where we will get food for the next meal. They never had to stand in the welfare or unemployment line. They never had to explain to a bill collector that they just dont have the money to pay for that doctor bill right now. This is the reason I think Obama will win. He has lived with catistrophic illness with his mother. He has seen foodstamps putting food on the table. As a comunity activist he saw the pain of the middle and lower classes. Obama isnt perfict.... Wallstreet is doing a good job of buying him, but he is still one of us margomally.
bought and paid for?
-sad but seems apparently true -but by whom? The Koch Brothers? or their "competitors"? -I just don't get it.
And have the Change Disciples just been thrown a bone for these three years? and are we getting another one thrown if he is (hopefully) re-elected? to make us "99%" BELIEVE that we actually have fighting chance at survival???
I know it seems like Obama has made a few strides, with much apparent opposition, but I have never bought that the Democrats have been weak, they appear to be just as in the pocket (at maybe a lesser degree?) as the Republicans! Sometimes I feel as much like sheep as the ones that swallow Republican crap! Is there only so far a leash that Obama is allowed???
