Dear Friends,
I have been out of the country for almost three weeks and when I returned, I found that the Barak Obama that I supported, campaigned for and voted for may have returned in my absence. The legislation that he is proposing still falls short of what is needed but it is clearly a great step forward, and I congratulate him for putting forth his plan.
But more than putting forth his plan, President Obama deserves credit for taking the fight to get his legislation passed to the American people. It is clear that the Republicans in Congress will not pass any plan that President Obama puts forth unless they fear the wrath of the voters in 2012. President Obama seems to understand that and is now going to the American people and letting them know who is holding the economy back and who is keeping the unemployment level high.
Here are a couple of segments from the Rachel Maddow Show last night that highlighted President Obama's speech at a bridge between Kentucky (home state of Senator McConnell) and John Boehner's district in Ohio.
I have hope that President Obama will continue to fight for a real jobs bill as he did yesterday.
Thanks for reading and please comment,
The Unabashed Liberal
