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 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 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."
once again, the simplistic choices are frustrating. yes, he's lame duck, but so what?; the point is to get his proposals out to the public, then profit from gop opposition. it's politics, not idealistic posturing.
The progressive community knows whats RIGHT, so OBAMA should simply say what NEEDS TO BE SAID. Sooner or later the public will ultimately realize and cave to the True Progressive Agenda geared around the middleclass, seniors and lastly all the unequality which the 99% are faced with.
As long as we have politicians who support corporate America over We the People not much will get done just look at the last few years, we have been held hostage for too long. It won't matter who becomes POTUS in the next election if we still have businessman disguised as politicians making decsions for us and our planet.
Obama's SOTU speech was pointless, but because of Republicans; he'd run into just as much opposition if the Democrats were in control. America is an oligrarcy. We lost our democratic republic while we were busy watching so-called "reality" TV or playing video games while the corporate powers-that-be sought to divide us into a many opposing camps as possible.
