I remember

I am not happy with the Obama Presidency.  I really expected more. I knew that the Republicans and big business were on the march and after eight years of Bush were turning the country to the kind of place they wanted to rule. With the election of Obama I hoped that he would fight hard for the middle and working class Americans. I was wrong. He seems stymied by all of the attacks of the Right. He seems incapable of fighting dirty against all the attacks.  What to do?  I really do not know but one thing is for sure. Then,then,then,I remember:



I remember the party that blocked health care for our nation's 9-11 first responders
I remember which party was in power during every single banking crisis since 1900.
I remember which party was in power during 17 of the 23 recessions since 1900, and 9 of the last 10 since 1950
I remember which party brought us the Wall Street bailout
I remember which party defended tax breaks for corporations that moved their operations and your jobs overseas.
I remember which party started a needless trillion dollar war in Iraq
I remember the party that took a record budget surplus, and turned it into a record budget deficit
I remember the party which dismantled the government agencies that protect our food supply.
I remember the party that has worked tirelessly to destroy Social Security, Medicare, public education, civil rights, and equal pay for women.

I remember which party cannot hear the screams of the people, but can hear the whispers of big business

I remember when the Americam dream of a good job and a home were in reach for all Americans.
I remember a time when reason ruled and people watched real news programs that told them the truth.
I remember when we all had HOPE.
