Dear Friends,
I have once again been chastised for not highlighting all of the great things that President Obama has accomplished. Rachel Maddow did a great job recounting the accomplishments on her show on Friday night. Today, President Obama addressed the Netroots Nation 2010 convention in Las Vegas (here), a convention of left wing bloggers. The post that I highlighted in my previous blog was made from that convention. He included in his video speech to the convention several clips from the prior night's Rachel Maddow Show.
In his speech, President Obama makes the point that "the fundamental truth of our democracy - that change doesn't come from the top down, it comes from the bottom up." He went on to ask that we hold him accountable and that we make our voices heard. We need to do just that.
Here is the President's speech which is worth listening to and keeping in mind as we impatiently wait for change to occur.
Thanks for reading and please comment,
The Unabashed Liberal
