59. We should really campaign hard to get back our money
The WH needs to remember how much it needed us back in November.

Although for many households, the donations were tiny, when they are added up, I am sure that they provided a big difference.

The notion that Obama doesn't "understand" the complexities of Single Payer Universal went out the window when he made speech after speech admitting that it was the best solution. And then for whatever unfathomable reason, he goes on in same speeches to say, because we already have a health care insurance industry, we must work with that. What the F____?!?

Maybe it is not unfathomable. Maybe he has been offered a deal - eight years in the WH in return for Geithner/Bernanke in the top economic positions and the continued milking of our populace via the Health Reform MANDATE, which will do everything for the insurance industry and nothing for us.
