Ellen: tips to avoid Alzheimer's: http://www.usaweekend.com/article/20100917/HEALTH/9190314/Stay-Sharp
Julia: all Alzheimer's patients had abnormally high aluminum levels in brains... TV dinner trays, aluminum pop cans, cook ware, all bad. Anti-perspirants with aluminum cholorhydrate. If you stink you might have low manganese levels. Coffee is bad. Avoid mercury amalgam. MSG in food causes the spongiform encephalitis like Alzheimer's.
Hydration.
What you want is the phenols and polyphenols like in green tea, much better than coffee.
Red wine: what is good is the resveratrol. Anything that is burgundy colored: beets, Pomegranate...
Stay away from factory farmed beef... Spongiform encephalitis also. Also Nutrisweet, aspartame.

Neil: Grizzly bears in far north only eat brain and eggs of the fish they catch.
Julia: But it is not cannibalizing ....
Neil: re. enlightenment. One day can be as complex as a lifetime. If you stare at a small square of earth, you can see as much complexity as in any cosmic panorama.
Mira: what is the FDA up to do change the qualifications for the label "organic"?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOups0dfdwM
Julia: Codex Alimentarius, terribly dangerous. Fight Senate Bill 510 "Food Safety Act". Agenda to have the agenda of Archer Daniels and Monsanto enacted through federal regulations.
GMO Salmon
Julia: it is horrible. see: http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2010/09/20/genetically-modified-salmon/
There is no way to keep these GMOs really sterile.
They do reproduce... And distort the natural species. Selective breeding not GMO is safe.
Consider the Irish Potato Famine. Monoculture reduces the ability of a species to deal with diseases.
Judy: Archer Daniels Midland and Monsanto are big sponsors of public tv.
Julia: ADM are the ones mowing down the rain forest in Brazil.
Vandana Shiva said "stay away from the universities, they are all bought out by the big corporations."

Lauren: doesn't it eat you up inside, all this anger? ...
Once you deeply accept that you will die, you can live less in fear.
Viddle 35 years ago the doctors told me I was going to die. It was a wonderful thing to happen to me. I never felt so free, so unburdened by worries and cares. Turning point in my life. That's when I decided to have children.
Judy: what is happening to the world and what should we be doing about it?
Ellen: " If I am not for myself, who will be? If I am only for myself, What am I? If not now, when?" Hillel. Also in the Talmud: it is not for you to finish the job, but neither is it for you to fail to begin it.
Marilyn: Viktor Frankel said you have to have a meaning, you have to be working towards something. You have to be trying to find that meaning that will light up your life.
... In the concentration camps you saw both the worst and the best of human beings.
Ellen: I had heard that suffering enobles one. But I But when I was 22, alone in Paris, cold, with no friendship or kindness around me, longing for warmth of human kindness, it seemed rather to me that suffering degrades one, and makes us mean and small. I was so miserable , it came to me that if I needed "light" , I would have to be the light... Next day I had the worst student at the Berlitz School, but I decided to be kind to her, just because I needed there to be kindness. ... She became my dear friend. What was the miracle? Not that she transformed into a dear friend, but that I got the idea of being "light". So where did that come from.?
Lauren: suffering brought you to God, and that was the Source of your insight.
Marilyn: Frankel said there are three paths to meaning: work, love, and suffering.
Mira: Joanna Macy, founded "Deep Ecology" movement out of concern for the earth. "Act simply and boldly for the sake of all human beings."

Marilyn: what was meaningful for you today?
Judy: I want to go to India and visit Servas, an organization of people interested in peace.

Jordan's Crossing (Swifton Commons... Seymore & Reading)
Hi Jody,Listen, folks around me are dispirited about the election. Could you come over Wednesday or some Wednesday soon and talk about how you keep yourself fueled to do activism? I haven't seen you, but I figure you have it sorted out.I'd phone you but don't have your number. Below, mine.ellen
from jody grundy, big pol. activist here and friend of the WEEKLY:
Hi Ellen,
Been thinking of you and your great work on many fronts. Can you pass the word that folks should come out to Jordan's Crossing on Sunday afternoon, be there before 4. Big rally, bus show and tell with Gov Strickland and his running mate, Yvette McGee-Brown, dynamite woman.
Also virtually all our Dem candidates or reps will be there.
Please pass the word, we want to raise the energy level.
Also, I am co-chairing Southwest Ohio for Fisher for Senate with Paul De Marco. After the tough primary which I sat out, I decided to jump in on this as getting this Senate seat could make such a huge difference. ....

Mayan Elder Hunbatz Men Now Teaching in the United States
For many years Hunbatz Men has been devoted to revive the wisdom and culture of the ancient Mayas. He is an authentic Maya, born in Wenkal, Yucatan, Mexico, and was raised to be a shaman, a holy man, since the age of one. He is a respected ceremonial leader as well as a Mayan Daykeeper- an authority on History, Chronology, Calendars and Cosmic Knowledge in Mayan civilization. He authored the book Secrets of Mayan Science/Religion and some other books putting the Mayan cosmology and philosophy in a twentieth century perspective. He is founder of all the Mayan Mysteries Schools of the world and has started re-consecrating the sacred sites of the Mayan culture throughout Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Belize.
His native language is Maya Itza, a language that is mantric, onomatopoeic and reversible, i.e., the intonation of each word invokes the sacred aspect of life it describes, each word sounds like what it describes and each word can be reversed resulting in another word that deepens one's understanding of the original word.
Hunbatz Men has widely lectured throughout North and South America and Europe. His lectures include topics like: Mayan mathematics, astrology, and philosophy; the letters "T", "O", and "G: as the origin of humanity; Mayan sexual education, social organization, and ceremonial centers; Kundalini Maya; sacred symbols of Tamuanchan; the 1992 Sun Walk from Alaska to Mexico City; new commercial ventures that will be available to Native Americans and other minorities in the United States; and the importance of communicating the Native American thought and its dissemination throughout the world.
When Hunbatz presents a lecture he carefully ties a hand woven band around his head, and he asks permission from the Creator to help him understand everything, especially the high knowledge and our connection with the Earth, Time spent with Hunbatz Men is a unique blend of sacred and experiential ceremony liberally sprinkled with Mayan chants, prophecies, cosmic and solar wisdom, and language lessons.

Round-the-World Family Walking for Alzheimers Cure
(these are the folks who took their 2 daughters on a round the world year tour last year. Wonderful people. Ellen)
Dear Ellen,
I hope everything is going well for you this wonderful late summer day.
The Shusterman/Greenwell household has committed to walk as part of the JD Cloud Team to raise money for this year's Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk. We are committed to raising as much money as possible to help end this tragically debilitating disease.
I am not asking for $500.00, $100.00 or even $50.00. I am asking you for simply $10.00 or $15.00. If we all contribute a small amount, the impact will be large. My email request is kind of like the volunteer who comes to the door and you give the 10 spot that you pull out of your wallet. This is my virtual knocking on your door. There is always power in small numbers multiplied many times. Together we can all make a difference.
The link below will take you to the page where a tax-deductible contribution can be made. Once there, click on the donate button and then enter my name.

Thank you in advance for your part to help end this terrible disease.

Sometime Salonista and A.T. Teacher Nancy Dawley: Support League of Women Voters Annual Fund Raiser
As you may know, I am deeply involved as a volunteer with the League of Women Voters and its nonpartisan voter services. Our 17th annual Visions for Greater Cincinnati dinner, the largest fund raising event benefiting our 501(c)(3) Education Fund, is Thursday, October 7 at 6 pm in the Westin Hotel Taft Ballroom. This promises to be an unforgettable evening for a great cause, and I hope you will make plans to attend. Sponsorship tables of ten are $1,000; single tickets are $75 for League members and $100 for nonmembers. Reservations can be made online through October 1 at www.lwvcincinnati.org; click on Upcoming Events.
The League may be best known for its annual nonpartisan voter guide, Who & What of Elections, to be released at the event. Other Education Fund services are the online voter guide www.smartvoter.org, phone hotline 281-VOTE, speakers' bureau, and directory of public officials They Represent Us. Regardless of your party affiliation, I hope that you, like hundreds of thousands of other Hamilton County residents every year, will take advantage of our unbiased sources of information during the upcoming elections to help make your own voting decisions.
Doug Bolton, publisher of the Cincinnati Business Courier, will be the evening's keynote speaker, discussing "Opportunities for Greater Cincinnati Innovation Leadership." The 2010 Daniel J. Ransohoff Civic Award will be presented to the Leadership Cincinnati Class 27 project team creating the St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy. Special guest will be renowned wildlife artistJohn Ruthven, who is donating several works to be auctioned during dinner by Jonas Karp of Main Auction Galleries.
Call or email me with any questions, and thank you for your consideration. A recent press release is attached and I'd be appreciative if you could forward it to others who may be interested. Our volunteers couldn't continue to provide the voter services our community depends on without the support of civic-minded citizens like you.

We would love to see you out here Saturday! :)
Best,
Scott
Canvass for Driehaus, Fisher, and other Dem. Candidates EVERY Saturday at 11 or at 1:00 . Show up at the office at 11 am or 1 pm. (I'll be doing Saturdays at 11.) This is the MOST effective way to help the campaign. So important to support the President's team. So important to elect Democrats to the leadership positions in Columbus because they will do the redistrictingfor the next decade! ellen
Dems. Campaign Office at Knowlton's Corner
4015 Hamilton Avenue, Northside (Knowlton's Corner) formerly Shoetopia location. Right at the corner of Blue Rock. (Across the st. from old Crazy Ladies' Bookstore)
Now we have regular hours from 1 PM to 9 PM, Monday through Saturday. Right now, we don't have the phones set up so we're using Scott's number 614-477-6835 as the "office number." Our biggest need right now is to get volunteers to staff the office, so we have to call lots of people to get them to come by and sign up.
Thanks for your interest,
Mary-Pat Hester
Want to do a terrific service? Stop in the HQ at Knowlton's Corner between 1 and 8 pm, help them make calls. Fun and important. Ellen
ALSO
We will be having phone banking here at the Lloyd House (3901 Clifton Ave. 45220) after the Salon for 45 minutes starting next week. Come to the Salon pot luck at 5:45, or just come at 7:30 for phone banking. Bring your cell phone. There will be call lists and scripts. Ellen
New Phone Banking online tool for Democratic Campaign ...
Last night I left the salon early to get training in the virtual phone bank software at the Northiside campaign office (corner Blue Rock and Hamilton).
Kscott Gabbard Seeborg showed me the ropes. This is way cool. It means that anyone can do phone banking from anywhere if they have a phone and a computer!
Please join us every Wed night from next Wednesday Sept 16 until the election. Bring your cell phone and your laptop, if you have them, or just come.
This is a very important election. Don't let the noisy Tea Party people drown us out and cause us low morale. We are the majority. Calling is hugely powerful... Person to person is better than TV ads.
... But it is also great to give money as well. ellen

If That 'Mosque' ISN'T Built, This Is No Longer America
OpenMike 9/11/10
Michael Moore's daily blog
I am opposed to the building of the "mosque" two blocks from Ground Zero.
I want it built on Ground Zero.
Why? Because I believe in an America that protects those who are the victims of hate and prejudice. I believe in an America that says you have the right to worship whatever God you have, wherever you want to worship. And I believe in an America that says to the world that we are a loving and generous people and if a bunch of murderers steal your religion from you and use it as their excuse to kill 3,000 souls, then I want to help you get your religion back. And I want to put it at the spot where it was stolen from you.
There's been so much that's been said about this manufactured controversy, I really don't want to waste any time on this day of remembrance talking about it. But I hate bigotry and I hate liars, and so in case you missed any of the truth that's been lost in this, let me point out a few facts:
1. I love the Burlington Coat Factory. I've gotten some great winter coats there at a very reasonable price. Muslims have been holding their daily prayers there since 2009. No one ever complained about that. This is not going to be a "mosque," it's going to be a community center. It will have the same prayer room in it that's already there. But to even have to assure people that "it's not going to be mosque" is so offensive, I now wish they would just build a 111-story mosque there. That would be better than the lame and disgusting way the developer has left Ground Zero an empty hole until recently. The remains of over 1,100 people still haven't been found. That site is a sacred graveyard, and to be building another monument to commerce on it is a sacrilege. Why wasn't the entire site turned into a memorial peace park? People died there, and many of their remains are still strewn about, all these years later.
2. Guess who has helped the Muslims organize their plans for this community center? The JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER of Manhattan! Their rabbi has been advising them since the beginning. It's been a picture-perfect example of the kind of world we all want to live in. Peter Stuyvessant, New York's "founder," tried to expel the first Jews who arrived in Manhattan. Then the Dutch said, no, that's a bit much. So then Stuyvessant said ok, you can stay, but you cannot build a synagogue anywhere in Manhattan. Do your stupid Friday night thing at home. The first Jewish temple was not allowed to be built until 1730. Then there was a revolution, and the founding fathers said this country has to be secular -- no religious nuts or state religions. George Washington (inaugurated around the corner from Ground Zero) wanted to make a statement about this his very first year in office, and wrote this to American Jews:
"The citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy -- a policy worthy of imitation. ...
"It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens ...
"May the children of the stock of Abraham who dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants -- while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid."
3. The Imam in charge of this project is the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. Read about his past here.
4. Around five dozen Muslims died at the World Trade Center on 9/11. Hundreds of members of their families still grieve and suffer. The 19 killers did not care what religion anyone belonged to when they took those lives.
5. I've never read a sadder headline in the New York Times than the one on the front page this past Monday: "American Muslims Ask, Will We Ever Belong?" That should make all of us so ashamed that even a single one of our fellow citizens should ever have to worry about if they "belong" here.
6. There is a McDonald's two blocks from Ground Zero. Trust me, McDonald's has killed far more people than the terrorists.
7. During an economic depression or a time of war, fascists are extremely skilled at whipping up fear and hate and getting the working class to blame "the other" for their troubles. Lincoln's enemies told poor Southern whites that he was "a Catholic." FDR's opponents said he was Jewish and called him "Jewsevelt." One in five Americans now believe Obama is a Muslim and 41% of Republicans don't believe he was born here.
8. Blaming a whole group for the actions of just one of that group is anti-American. Timothy McVeigh was Catholic. Should Oklahoma City prohibit the building of a Catholic Church near the site of the former federal building that McVeigh blew up?
9. Let's face it, all religions have their whackos. Catholics have O'Reilly, Gingrich, Hannity and Clarence Thomas (in fact all five conservatives who dominate the Supreme Court are Catholic). Protestants have Pat Robertson and too many to list here. The Mormons have Glenn Beck. Jews have Crazy Eddie. But we don't judge whole religions on just the actions of their whackos. Unless they're Methodists.
10. If I should ever, God forbid, perish in a terrorist incident, and you or some nutty group uses my death as your justification to attack or discriminate against anyone in my name, I will come back and haunt you worse than Linda Blair marrying Freddy Krueger and moving into your bedroom to spawn Chucky. John Lennon was right when he asked us to imagine a world with "nothing to kill or die for and no religion, too." I heard Deepak Chopra this week say that "God gave humans the truth, and the devil came and he said, 'Let's give it a name and call it religion.' " But John Adams said it best when he wrote a sort of letter to the future (which he called "Posterity"): "Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." I'm guessing ol' John Adams is up there repenting nonstop right now.
Friends, we all have a responsibility NOW to make sure that Muslim community center gets built. Once again, 70% of the country (the same number that initially supported the Iraq War) is on the wrong side and want the "mosque" moved. Enormous pressure has been put on the Imam to stop his project. We have to turn this thing around. Are we going to let the bullies and thugs win another one? Aren't you fed up by now? When would be a good time to take our country back from the haters?
I say right now. Let's each of us make a statement by donating to the building of this community center! It's a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization and you can donate a dollar or ten dollars (or more) right now through a secure pay pal account by clicking here. I will personally match the first $10,000 raised (forward your PayPalreceipt to webguy@michaelmoore.com). If each one of you reading this blog/email donated just a couple of dollars, that would give the center over $6 million, more than what Donald Trump has offered to buy the Imam out. C'mon everyone, let's pitch in and help those who are being debased for simply wanting to do something good. We could all make a huge statement of love on this solemn day.
I lost a co-worker on 9/11. I write this today in his memory.

Presenting the American Monetary Act (as of July 18, 2009)
©2009 American Monetary Institute, P.O. Box 601, Valatie, NY 12184
ami@taconic.net 518-392-5387
╲Over time, whoever controls the money system controls the nation.╡
Introduction
Dear Friends,
The World economy has been taken down and wrecked by the financial establishment and their economists;
and by their supporters in the media they own, and even by some in the executive and legislative branches, in
the name of ╲free markets╡ and insatiable greed. Shame! Shame on them all!
The American Monetary Act (the ╲Act╡) is a comprehensive reform of the present United States money
system, and it resolves the current banking crisis. ╲Reform╡ is not in its title, because the AMI considers
our monetary system to never have been adequately defined in law, but rather to have been put together
piecemeal under pressure from particular interests, mainly banking, in pursuit of their own private advantage,
without enough regard to our nationâ•˙s needs. That is the harsh judgment of history as made clear in The Lost
Science of Money, by Stephen Zarlenga (abbreviated LSM).*

GREENHOUSE GASSES
On Aug 26, 2010, at 11:53 PM, ginger lee frank wrote:
Nice beach party bacchanal picture you used there. Sorry I couldn't help out on the Green House Gasses issue at the beginning with Vlasta and David. Vlasta was speaking only of CO2, the most pervasive but least powerful of Global Warming gasses (with methane 30 times more potent and nitrous oxide hundreds of times more powerful). All GHG figures are computed in terms of CO2-eq, a carbon dioxide equivalent, so as to measure apples and apples, but this does not mean the culprit is always CO2. The UN estimates that 20% of the earth's global warming is caused by buildings (8%) and transportation (12%); but it ascribes 18% to livestock and meat/dairy production, a larger factor in global warming than either buildings or transportation. I'm not sure about David's soil degradation comment, but he may have been talking more about methane release. Recent international studies on soil erosion show that the process actually removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. "In landscapes subject to soil erosion, erosion acts like a conveyor belt, excavating subsoil, passing it through surface soils and burying it in hill-slope hollows. During its journey, the soil absorbs carbon from plant material and this becomes buried within the soil in depositional areas. Erosion, therefore, leads to more carbon being removed from the atmosphere than is emitted, creating what can be described as a 'sink' of atmospheric carbon. " The effect is small, only about 1.5% of what is released into the atmosphere annually from all sources. However, Arctic tundra is an enormous carbon sink threatening the atmosphere. As the earth warms and the permafrost of the tundra melts (a process which began just last year), the plant life there decomposes, releasing vast amounts of methane, spiking global warming (an amount equivalent to three times all the CO2 released into the atmosphere since the beginning of the industrial revolution). Just one reason why global warming must be reversed, and quickly.

Obama Will Triumph -- So Will America
By Frank Schaeffer
Before he'd served even one year President Obama lost the support
of the easily distracted left and engendered the white hot rage of
the hate-filled right. But some of us, from all walks of life and
ideological backgrounds -- including this white, straight, 57-year-
old, former religious right wing agitator, now progressive writer
and (given my background as the son of a famous evangelical leader)
this unlikely Obama supporter -- are sticking with our President.
Why?-- because he is succeeding.
We faithful Obama supporters still trust our initial impression of
him as a great, good and uniquely qualified man to lead us.
Obama's steady supporters will be proved right. Obama's critics
will be remembered as easily panicked and prematurely discouraged
at best and shriveled hate mongers at worst.
The Context of the Obama Presidency
Not since the days of the rise of fascism in Europe , the Second
World War and the Depression has any president faced more
adversity. Not since the Civil War has any president led a more
bitterly divided country. Not since the introduction of racial
integration has any president faced a more consistently short-
sighted and willfully ignorant opposition - from both the right
and left.
As the President's poll numbers have fallen so has his support from
some on the left that were hailing him as a Messiah not long ago;
all those lefty websites and commentators that were falling all
over themselves on behalf of our first black president during the
2008 election.
The left's lack of faith has become a self-fulfilling "prophecy"--
snipe at the President and then watch the poll numbers fall and
then pretend you didn't have anything to do with it!
Here is what Obama faced when he took office-- none of which was
his fault:
# An ideologically divided country to the point that America was
really two countries
# Two wars; one that was mishandled from the start, the other that
was unnecessary and immoral
# The worst economic crisis since the depression
# America 's standing in the world at the lowest point in history
# A country that had been misled into accepting the use of torture
of prisoners of war
# A health care system in free fall
# An educational system in free fall
# A global environmental crisis of history-altering proportions
(about which the Bush administration and the Republicans had done
nothing)
# An impasse between culture warriors from the right and left
# A huge financial deficit inherited from the terminally
irresponsible Bush administration.
And those were only some of the problems sitting on the
President's desk!
"Help" from the Right?
What did the Republicans and the religious right, libertarians and
half-baked conspiracy theorists -- that is what the Republicans
were reduced to by the time Obama took office -- do to "help" our
new president (and our country) succeed? They claimed that he
wasn't a real American, didn't have an American birth certificate,
wasn't born here, was secretly a Muslim, was white-hating "racist",
was secretly a communist, was actually the Anti-Christ, (!) and was
a reincarnation of Hitler and wanted "death panels" to kill the
elderly!
They not-so-subtly called for his assassination through the not-so-
subtle use of vile signs held at their rallies and even a bumper
sticker quoting Psalm 109:8. They organized "tea parties" to sound
off against imagined insults and all government in general and
gathered to howl at the moon. They were led by insurance industry
lobbyists and deranged (but well financed) "commentators" from
Glenn Beck to Rush Limbaugh.
The utterly discredited Roman Catholic bishops teamed up with the
utterly discredited evangelical leaders to denounce a president who
was trying to actually do something about the poor, the
environment, to diminish the number of abortions through
compassionate programs to help women and to care for the sick! And
in Congress the Republican leadership only knew one word: "No!"
In other words the reactionary white, rube, uneducated, crazy
American far right,combined with the educated but obtuse
neoconservative war mongers, religious right shills for big
business, libertarian Fed Reserve-hating gold bug, gun-loving
crazies, child-molesting acquiescent "bishops", frontier loons and
evangelical gay-hating flakes found one thing to briefly unite
them: their desire to stop an uppity black man from succeeding at
all costs!
"Help" from the Left?
What did the left do to help their newly elected president? Some of
them excoriated the President because they disagreed with the bad
choices he was being forced to make regarding a war in Afghanistan
that he'd inherited from the worst president in modern history!
Others stood up and bravely proclaimed that the President's
economic policies had "failed" before the President even instituted
them! Others said that since all gay rights battles had not been
fully won within virtually minutes of the President taking office,
they'd been "betrayed"! (Never mind that Obama's vocal support to
the gay community is stronger than any other president's has been.
Never mind that he signed a new hate crimes law!)
Those that had stood in transfixed legions weeping with beatific
emotion on election night turned into an angry mob saying how
"disappointed" they were that they'd not all immediately been
translated to heaven the moment Obama stepped into the White House!
Where was the "change"? Contrary to their expectations they were
still mere mortals!
And the legion of young new supporters was too busy texting to pay
attention for longer than a nanosecond. "Governing"?! What the hell
does that word, uh, like mean?"
The President's critics left and right all had one thing in common:
impatience laced with little-to-no sense of history (let alone
reality) thrown in for good measure. Then of course there were the
white, snide know-it-all commentators/talking heads who just
couldn't imagine that maybe, just maybe they weren't as smart as
they thought they were and certainly not as smart as their
president. He hadn't consulted them, had he? So he must be wrong!
The Obama critics' ideological ideas defined their idea of reality
rather than reality defining their ideas-say, about what is
possible in one year in office after the hand that the President
had been dealt by fate, or to be exact by the American idiot nation
that voted Bush into office. twice!
Meanwhile back in the reality-based community - in just 12 short
months -- President Obama:
#Continued to draw down the misbegotten war in Iraq
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Thoughtfully and decisively picked the best of several bad choices
regarding the war in Afghanistan
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Gave a major precedent-setting speech supporting gay rights
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Restored America 's image around the globe
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Banned torture of American prisoners
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Stopped the free fall of the American economy
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Put the USA squarely back in the bilateral international community
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Put the USA squarely into the middle of the international effort
to halt global warming
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Stood up for educational reform
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Won a Nobel peace prize
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Moved the trial of terrorists back into the American judicial
system of checks and balances
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Did what had to be done to start the slow, torturous and almost
impossible process of health care reform that 7 presidents had
failed to even begin
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Responded to hatred from the right and left with measured good
humor and patience
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Stopped the free fall of job losses
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Showed immense personal courage in the face of an armed and
dangerous far right opposition that included the sort of disgusting
people that show up at public meetings carrying loaded weapons and
carrying Timothy McVeigh-inspired signs about the "blood of
tyrants" needing to "water the tree of liberty".
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
#Showed that he could not only make the tough military choices but
explain and defend them brilliantly
(But that wasn't good enough for his critics)
Other than those "disappointing" accomplishments -- IN ONE YEAR --
President Obama "failed"! Other than that he didn't "live up to
expectations"!
Who actually has failed...
...are the Americans that can't see the beginning of a miracle of
national rebirth right under their jaded noses. Who failed are the
smart ass ideologues of the left and right who began rooting for
this President to fail so that they could be proved right in their
dire and morbid predictions. Who failed are the movers and shakers
behind our obscenely dumb news cycles that have turned "news" into
just more stupid entertainment for an entertainment-besotted
infantile country.
Here's the good news: President Obama is succeeding without the
help of his lefty "supporters" or hate-filled Republican detractors!
The Future Looks Good
After Obama has served two full terms, (and he will), after his
wisdom in moving deliberately and cautiously with great subtlety on
all fronts -- with a canny and calculating eye to the possible
succeeds, (it will), after the economy is booming and new industries
are burgeoning, (they will be), after the doomsayers are all proved
not just wrong but silly: let the record show that not all
Americans were panicked into thinking the sky was falling.
Just because we didn't get everything we wanted in the first short
and fraught year Obama was in office not all of us gave up. Some of
us stayed the course. And we will be proved right.
PS. if you agree that Obama is shaping up to be a great president,
please pass this on and hang in there! Pass it on anyway to ensure
that his "report card" gets the attention it deserves.
