I will be having Breakfast with President Obama Tomorrow (Labor Day)

Last edited Sun Sep 6, 2015, 05:28 PM - Edit history (1)

I am so excited to be hearing the President speak tomorrow at the annual Labor Day Breakfast in Boston.

The Labor Day Breakfast is being held at the Park Plaza and begins at 9:00 AM.

As a member of the Greater Boston Labor Council who sits on the board of the Committee on Political Education, I will have a pretty good seat for the festivities.

The schedule includes our Senator, Elizabeth Warren, our Mayor and former President of the Greater Boston Building Trades, Marty Walsh and the President of the United States, Barak Obama.

This will be a great day.

Once you rediscover all the other things you've always been interested in, you'll forget all that cable nonsense. Then you can watch your vocabulary and your attention span grow.

Please consider bringing up the subject of vulture funds to the President. It can't be that a few Cayman Islands launderers are allowed to hold bondholders hostage in both sovereign cases (notably Argentina, which had been paying its bondholders religiously for 10 years until an extremist -probably bribed- Nixon judge stopped their payments last year) and corporate cases (Delphi Automotive, Caesar's Entertainment) to extort the issuers out of a 1600% payout or more.

It's criminal shakedown, pure and simple - besides which it's being done by some of the biggest donors to the Tea Party and GOP.

Have a great presidential breakfast, Louis! All the best.
