That's all this tape over on C-Span takes -- to hear the 29 minute or so speech the President gave Thursday night. It tells you what he's been doing, what he thinks he's been doing, what he plans to do next -- and points out what the other side says they will do, what they did between 2001-2009, and what must be stopped.
The next time someone mentions that Pledge, ask them: "Where is the Republican party going to get this 700 Billion dollars to give $100,000 a year to every millionaire and billionaire in America? China? South Korea? The World Bank?"
Skip a few humor videos this weekend, and watch this.
You are correct, Mr. President -- I did not elect you to do what is easy -- I elected you to do what is right. I thought you were an adult, and that I could trust you with the job. I expect you to mark which things are most critical, to get rolling on them, and then to figure out what will keep this country on course and safe in the century to come.
He can't be here to help me fight my battles with the CDC or the IDSA -- he's got bigger battles ahead. All I can do for him is vote, and entourage you to not give up yet. Get out there in November and vote!
This is an adult job -- it can't be done overnight. It took eight years for the Republicans, in full control, to run this country deeply into a ditch. It's gonna take time to get the country moving well again, much less in the right direction.
Let's give them at least two more years to try and fix those eight years of hell. Do you really want to put back into office the people who let AIG and Exxon Mobile help them write their new pledge? Remember those names?
Does everybody have amnesia or something?

The collective amnesiac/ADD that prevails is a continual source of frustration (to put it politely). Even FDR needed more than 2 years to even start having major progress.

FDR is probably not a name to be using with Tea Baggers, either.
I wish I could even think about going to the rally to restore sanity. Being with others out there who want moderation and discourse to return would be encouraging.
