Hello this is Hank Sanders, Alabama state Senator, and I’m still mad as hell. I say hell no! I ain’t going back to the cotton fields of Jim Crow days. I’m going forward with Ron Sparks, Jim Folsom and others who would do right by all of us. I hope you are mad as hell and will not go back, and you have the power to choose. I will stand until hell freezes over for Ron Sparks for Governor and Jim Folsom for Lt. Governor on November the 2nd.

“I heard if the Republicans win the election, their first act of business was going to be sending this monkey back to his cage …” These words were posted on a web site (ala.com) in response to a robo ad I sent. There is a mean spirit on the loose.
Rangel: It's disgraceful that he has to make any explanation for anything. The intrusion of the media and Republicans into the sacred relationship that worshipers have with their spiritual leaders I think is going to come back to haunt us. To think that we have to go into the lives and the beliefs of Rabbis and Priests and ministers and Imams is absolutely ridiculous. We've got a war on. We've got an economy that's splintered. I think the media should be more responsible and start dealing with those issues. I don't think many people care what reverend Wright thinks and I don't see why any candidate should have to explain what ..
Rep Waters: "One of the things we can't do is, we can't let them distract from what we're all about, and what we're trying to accomplish. We're trying to keep the focus on comprehensive, universal health care reform, and they're going all over the place. They are desperate, uh, they don't have leadership, uh, they really don't know what to do, and so, I think we're going to continue to see a lot of crazy things happening, like all of the, uh, outrage that has been demonstrated at these town hall meetings, like the kind of statement that Congresswoman Jenkins made, and let them define themselves, let them reveal who they are. The American public needs to see that."
Howard Dean said a public health insurance option is more important than bipartisanship, and that Democrats should pass health-care legislation that includes the option with 51 votes if necessary.
Dean added that Democrats should have "no intention" of working with Republicans if it's not the strongest possible legislation that could be passed with a simple majority.
Bernie Sanders went to the floor of the Senate last December to deliver the most important congressional address of 2010, a nine-hour long, filibuster-style condemnation of economic policies that favored the rich while burdening working Americans. The independent senator from Vermont electrified the nation with a call for economic justice that challenged Obama administration compromises with Republicans on issues of tax policy and declared: "There is a war going on in this country, and I am not referring to the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. I am talking about a war being waged by some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in this country against the working families of the United States of America, against the disappearing and shrinking middle class of our country."
Sorry but I'm going to have to throw a wet blanket on this "bipartisan" love fest.
Has anyone noticed but me that republicans are bipartisan when it's benefits them? Bipartisanship to republicans means you join us, we don't join you.
Mo, Dale, Teabaggers, how about joining with Democrats/liberals fighting for health care reform, or the Jobs bill, or bringing our troops home from Iraq? Bipartisanship is two way, not one way.
Words of caution and advice to my progressive/democratic friends. Make sure you identify yourselves as such so that you won't be lumped in with the Teabaggers. They are NOT your friend(s). Don't let yourself be used to enable the right wing/conservative agenda.
The president said the Republican Party was focused on things like tax cuts for the rich and cuts to education funding rather than helping middle class Americans and young people.
"If we don't have strong leaders in Congress who are supportive of this agenda, who are supportive of moving the country forward," the president said. "If instead we've got folks who want to move backwards to the same failed policies that got us into this mess in the first place, then it's going to be very difficult for me to keep making progress and do what folks want to see me do over the next two years."

This is from Obamas book
From Dreams From My Father:
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
>From Dreams From My Father :
"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."
>From Dreams From My Father:
"There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white."
>From Dreams From My Father:
"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."
>From Dreams From My Father:
"I never emulate white men and brown men
whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."
And FINALLY ........... and most scary:
>From Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
What about them apples?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about them? You tell me.
Never mind.
You quoted things said by other politicians Bentley etc etc here is what Obama said!
He is driving America to socialism!
Blah, blah, blab, blab, socialism, blah, blah, blab, blab, right wing, conservative blah blah, blab, blab.
You must have President Obama confused with Bush and Company. You know, the ones who took us to war based on DEAD WRONG INTELLIGENCE not once but twice, raided the surplus to give their rich cronies a tax cut, created debt as far as the eye can see, outted an under cover CIA agent, spied on the American people without a warrant and let an entire major American city drown. And you ask can I read? LOL!
I can and I agree. I am no Bush fan!! What Obama says in his book is as bad or worse than anything Bush did!
"What Obama says in his book is as bad or worse than anything Bush did."
This is the stupidity we are up against. Effup is still regurgitating right-wing mindless rhetoric. Effup never read this book, and has no idea what it is really about.
This is the republican't agenda. Create simple-minded wedge issues which distract from the real program of serving their rich masters. I am pretty sure Effup is not one of those people who have averaged $100,000 a year in tax cuts - you know, the job creators - since Bush tax cuts went in temporarily 10 years ago.
Effup is arguing that 'black' is the problem. For the simple-minded and the white Southern male who don't understand what's really going on (Rush and Fox), 'black' is crystal clear. You can see 'black', them, the problem. The blame.
Don't pay attention to the next round of tax cuts for the filthy rich! And then, we have to cut programs - we don't have any money coming in, 'cause we are Taxed Enough Already!
This is the stupidity that is driving the country into the ditch.
