Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
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."
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 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."
A little to late. This should have been his policies six years ago
It was a dud as expected. He's dropped the ball way to many times. Personally, I hope he spends the next two years playing golf and leaves us alone.
If Status Quobama had led this country against Wall Street there would be a DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY in BOTH HOUSES!
But you could tell from his "Transition" team that the FIX WAS IN!
It still is!
President Obama has been blocked at every turn by big business and the politicians that support them, the Republican Party has been at the heart of holding us hostage and will continue to do so unless we make our voice heard loud and clear. Obama wasted the first two yrs of his first term trying to negotiate with terrorists AKA the GOP and corporations they have more power and influence that I have seen in my lifetime. We do not live under a dictatorship where one man alone can make huge changes. Every President needs the cooperation of the Senate and Congress to pass legislation and authorize funds to rebuild our infrastructure and any other major spending bill. I agree with most of what he spoke about but am totally against the TPP, we need to demand to see what's in it after all it will affect all of us. I don't even think POTUS has even had the time to read the whole deal himself (how in the world could he) and is being advised by the wrong side.
only fools (clueless ideologs) fault him for the fact that his proposals won't pass a gop-led congress. realists understand that he puts the ideas out there, inviting sniping from the right. his proposals, if not "passable,' appeal to majority of voters. absolutists and simplists of left or right are doomed to be wrong on most things.
