“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
In 1995, Obama's first autobiography is released. In it he writes of his years in college, associating with radicals. "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets . . . When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling constraints. We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated."
[Obama, Barack, "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,
Random House, Pages 100-101]
"I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else's, I loved it not just for the many comforts of life here. I loved it for its decency, for its faith in the wisdom, justice and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place, but an idea, a cause worth fighting for. I was never the same again. I wasn't my own man anymore. I was my country's."
~John McCain

It Means you need to act like you have a pair John, and listen to Rep McCotter from Michigan. You are representing the AMERICAN PEOPLE. NOT the AMERICAN PRESIDENT. Time for you to realize that the Speaker of the House and her "coven" are playing a game of high stakes chicken with the Country's Economy.
Just because the President wants it doesn't make it RIGHT. I took the Red Pill (Matrix) John, how about you?
The Republicans caving in for our own Good, don't you dare vote YES in my name. Some BraveHearts/sarc
Remember Country First?
Janet, There might be a reason why the networks have been reporting the "Financial Crisis" the way they have.
They might have an invested interest in the outcome of the bail out bill.

REP McCotter
(R)Michigan, is great, if you get a chance watch the you tube video he is against the Paulson Splurge.
Watch it before they take it down again. This one is not going away. I wonder why the Left is so threatened by this video. I don't really wonder;)
