This is the picture I used on my first blog post back in August of '09! Here I am with over 12,000 views and over 200 posts! Thanks so much my fellow bloggers for your friendship and especially for my liberal friends, thank you and keep doing what you do, spreading our message of hope and change!
Addressing a town hall meeting in Elyria, Ohio today, President Obama was speaking to us, his base. His tone was different, he admits mistakes, he says he hears us, he IS on our side. He will be accused of being in campaign mode, but ya know what, let 'em talk!
What happened in Massachusetts was a wake up call, I believe we are going to see a new President Obama this year, the Obama we liberals voted for. While the right is crying he is TOO liberal, the truth is, he was too conservative. It's what the polls are saying and it's why dems lost the Senate seat in Massachusetts. President Obama HAS to move to left of center or he will continue to alienate his base. He is on a course correction, and that will prove to be a wise move.
Obama also mentioned in Ohio that a key part of his State of the Union address will be about pushing for major reform of the financial regulatory system. Last week, he proposed a tax on banks to recoup taxpayer bailout funds. He said, "I want to charge Wall Street a modest fee to repay taxpayers in full for saving their skin in a time of need. You can rest assured, we're going to get that money -- your money -- back, each and every dime." He said a fight is brewing but he is up for the fight, "I didn't run for president to turn away from these challenges. I didn't run for president to kick them down the road. I ran for president to confront them, once and for all", he said.
We even have some rightwingers giving the thumbs up for Obamas course correction, Mike Huckabee said “Let me go out on a limb and tell you, this is probably the beginning of the re-election of Barack Obama.”
Then we have Billo on his show tonight talking about the FALL of the Democratic Party!!! Oh yea, he's naming all the left leaning cable shows and newspapers, they are on the decline he says! You see what he's doing, when the right gets scared, they fearmonger. That's all they have! They TRY to make the left look bad and think that makes them look good. LMFAO!!!
So anyway, thanks again my loyal friends for visiting my humble little blog. I appreciate each and every one of you!
