Wake up and smell the coffee already.. you want a Bachmann revolution

in congress?..

If you are so disconnected and clueless to what is going on beneath the radar, then nothing I can say or anyone else can say is going to help.

The teabaggers are nothing compared to the undercurrent from far right partisans reaching their tentacles out.

If you thought you just got to sit back and wait for the President to do it all in this sweeping declaration from some omnipotent potentate.. YOU WERE WRONG.

1. I'm declaring Friday 11/6 "National Pet a Blue Dog Day!"

Call the blue dogs tomorrow! Tell them the overwhelming majority of Americans SUPPORT health care reform!!!

I also offer this handy dandy map of Conneticut for you to pick a county to lie and say you're from when you call Lieberman!! (just kidding!)



Ask all of them if they are familiar with the area known as NY-23!

2. Until we get the economy going, nothing can take place--we cannot

afford it.

I would call a summit of World Powers and there would be working
meetings to determine how we can deal with the Globalization Crisis
we have caused. It will take courage to stand up to the Wall Street
and the Elite Free Traders. Unless and until we do we are on our
way to becoming close to a Third World Country. In time the rest
of the world is going to slump because--we can no longer afford
to buy ALL THAT STUFF THEY MANUFACTURE AND SELL TO US. The job losses
here have destroyed our buying power.

I am not saying "Stop World, I Want To Get Off". I am saying
we must do something that creates FAIR TRADE. We must stop
bleeding jobs. If anyone thinks the "Recovery" is going
to bring us anywhere close to where we were before the Meltdwon,
I have a few bridges for sale.

The Trade Policy has to be restructured. Since I am not an
Isolationists I would like to work with other world leaders.
If they do not want to cooperate,--I am looking out for AMERICA.

The ecoomy would be my first step.Trade would be my starting point.

It is pointless to talk about any other program until we do something
with this economy. IMHO.

4. It is always about the economy, Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

But everyone wants everything at once.. and if it does not all happen at once, then nothing that has happened was worth anything.

We have to stop this somehow.

An example.. Ed on the Ed show.. great populist.. he himself has been moving the goalposts in the last couple of months.

July, if HCR did not through, then all was lost, failed presidency, failed party, failed idea. If you have not listened to him.. just google, and you will find his scripts.

Now, the unemployment rate predicts a failed presidency. Never mind since March we knew that the economy was going to go in spurts and stages.. But if it is not done now then all is lost, failed presidency, failed party, failed idea... Never mind seeing what we have accomplished and the end goal.

7. President Obama is tying the Health Care

Reform into the helping the Economy.

"Obama Says Health-Care Reform Essential to Repairing Economy"

By Michael A. Fletcher
President Obama urged Congress today to push past growing doubts and pass comprehensive health-care reform package this year, saying that a better opportunity to remake the nation's health care system may not arise for generations.

The president urged lawmakers Friday to take bolder steps to achieve health-care reform, and today in his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama called reform essential not only to expanding health care coverage to the 46 million Americans who lack it but also to restoring the nation's economic stability.

"This is an issue that affects the health and financial well-being of every single American and the stability of our entire economy," Obama said.

"Rising health care costs are undermining our businesses, exploding our deficits, and costing our nation more jobs with each passing month," he said.

Mr. Obama says there is an urgent need to pass the reform legislation before Congress, to allow small businesses to expand and put people to work."
