2. I love enthusiasm.
I also love reality.

As long as the mindset of greed and wealth
dominates this country and the world, nothing
much is going to change.

Yesterday I heard Bill Moyers quote a guy who
says that you can have wealth or democracy..
but not both.

10. That is strange for Bill Moyers to say that.
He surly meant concentrated wealth at the top not distributed wealth to the middle class.
The way to lose democracy is to lose your middle class. In every society it is when the
wealth of the nation is accessible to the middle class, that democracy thrives.

Democracy falters when the middle class loses its economic clout.
This is what we are experiencing in our country at this time.

3. Like the saying goes, it's simple, but it won't be easy.
We're in for a rough ride, even with Obama at the helm.


And I'm with Sue. Great statement the wealth or democracy.

4. Snow White wakes up, Dopey isn't, sneezy doesn't and the rest of the fairy tales
end happily ever after.

6. Kat, you got it so right!
January 20th, 2009 we turn the page on maybe the worse period in our great country's history.
We begin the slow process to restore our competence at home and our dignity abroad.
We are America again.

We and our new president have great, great challenges ahead. But we can do this "block by block,
county by county, state by state" until we have changed our country and the world.

Yes we can.

9. Obama will need a big majority of REAL DEMS on the Hill to do that
DLC types have to be outnumbered by real DEMS adhering to real DEM principals. Support your local congressional contender for all you're worth. Obama needs a posse to fix what cheney broke with the help of too many DLC types.
