Right On MaryT,
Did you hear what our beloved POTUS said about nurses today? He was great!! It's so exciting to see him use the "internets" to continue to educate WE the people.

lol no, i missed it....i knew i'd have to watch it with my grandmother, so i watched on msnsbc so she could hear it...but she still wanted to stop and talk about everything...and talk and talk...so i paused it....and then all of a sudden they cut in with the republics' plan, and by the time i switched over to the internets he was saying goodbye. so as usual i will have to catch it later!

someone asked on the last blog why we are bowing to the republicans in the house and senate; here's my answer

because the corporations own them. as long as they CAN, they WILL accept huge contributions from corporations, who have been granted status as PEOPLE in terms of WHETHER they can contribute, but are deemed to be ENTITIES when it comes to their donation limits. so THAT is why we see so much cowering. it has nothing to do with bowing to republicans, other than the corporations fully support keeping us down and them up, which has become the republican mantra because of the corporations taking over the republican party.

if we work for election finance reform laws, we would see a huge change in this. changecongress.org and publicampaign.org are working to get corporations back to being JUST huge entities, not quite so powerful. JOIN THEM!!! let congress know what you won't tolerate any more!

Marytnurse, You're so correct! (won't say 'right'!)

Someone posted how many corporation boards Senator Evan Bayh's wife sits on, having huge salaries...
She probably carries more influence than would a lobbyist!

I'd hope that in lieu of regular campaigning, which requires many miles of travel in aircraft at HUGE cost of pollution to environment, why not have CSPAN, PBS, and local Government-service-channels provide air time for debates?
Not HAVE big expensive conventions, etc.?
Could it be done in America?

Loved the webcast | Report to Admin

By Life as a Wave Mar 26th 2009 at 1:12 pm EDT (Updated Mar 26th 2009 at 1:12 pm EDT)

I absolutely loved the webcast and how our president is reaching out to us on many fronts.

My frustration with the status quo, especially our conservadems, has reached new heights recently. To me it's a crime to get in the way of what we the people have so clearly called for.

I must have faith that what got our president to where he is today will be what drives us through and past the old and crusty thinking that has brought us to where we are today.

It is indeed a new era ... people need to wake up and get on board ... so call your representatives ... let them know ...

ENOUGH is enough

Get out of the way ... let our future vision become our present day reality.

Love you all :-)

Carl

hello Vero! I will repeat from my last thread.

Yes, He just keeps turning the tears on for me! Just cannot believe that he makes himself so available to us---as he promised of course--and as I believed.

Yet the REALITY that OUR BO is up there and cajoling us to keep at it and take responsibility to shape our country is beyond the greatest leadership we have Ever Had in this country. This is the world's smartest cookie ever to present himself up for leadership!

Thank you, thank you, and thank you ALL here for all that hard work in bringing about This Reality!

In 2 small months this unique human has already turned the red tide blue!

Besitos y abrasos para todo!

He does make himself available to us.

Isn't it strange how he's not doing anything more than just being real. He's being honest. And he's being a leader. He's not President for the trappings and the title. He's President to make our lives better. To help us keep trying to perfect our Union.

What's wrong with many of our other politicans that they can't do this. It's much harder being fake, than being real.

Re: Our Prez | Report to Admin

By Cheryl from Boston Feels the Gift Mar 26th 2009 at 2:04 pm EDT (Updated Mar 26th 2009 at 2:04 pm EDT)

Indeed! Much harder being fake than real...!

That is why they won't trip him up because he doesn't have to keep track of his lies because he tell the truth as he knows it!

Nonetheless, we are being called upon folks to make those calls to Congress: 202-224-3121 That we support the President's Budget Plan!

Nice to see you around Vero. I don't make it in here much these days.

Congratulations to our President for a job well done. This kind of outreach to the American people is much appreciated. Go, folks - organize, make phone calls, get pledge forms signed and let everyone know - we, the American people, share our President's vison for the future. We are done with obstructionism and game playing. Tell Congress to pay attention or we will have an answer for them at the ballot box.

Re: The right vision | Report to Admin

By Lee Church Mar 26th 2009 at 3:19 pm EDT (Updated Mar 26th 2009 at 3:19 pm EDT)

your comment is very profound.

It IS indeed a watershed in that traditional media has had to cover an 'internet' event which frames up their increasing obsolescence.

For the MSM to become relevant they will need to add more value than dressing as clowns, presenting holograms and word clouds.

It will take actual 'journalism' and they will need to learn that from scratch.

thanks for pointing out that things are changing!

I get a kick out of CNBC, especially when they have split screens of 10 different pundits and they all try to talk at the same time. Whoever thought of this concept at CNBC should be fired. Have you ever seen so many unlikeable people on screen at the same time? (except maybe for an episode of Survivor)

Just incase anyone missed the "GOP Budget Plan" it went something like this:

*crickets*

That's right folks NOTHING, but stay tuned for next week when they REALLY release their REAL plan.

Now for your enjoyment I will repost from last thread what one of these GOP budget planning meetings would look like:

Bohner: Come on guys, doesn't anyone have ANYTHING???

McConnell: Well I got out the old Bush budget and I think we should just go with it.

Bohner: Dammit Cantor turn that damned Brittany Spears crap off, we're trying to figure this out!

McCain: I say SPENDING FREEZE on everything but military spending.

Cantor: Who the hell invited McLame, I mean McCain?

Bohner: What do you think Mitch? Mitch??? Someone wake his ass up!

Cantor: How about we just attack like usual and have Michael Steele say some more dumb things and maybe they will all forget about our budget?

McConnell: Yeah distractions. I like it!

Bohner: Okay lets rap this up I got a tanning appointment in 20 minutes
