Robert Reich: The Enthusiasm Gap.

Read what Robert Borsage has to say about the Republican leadership and the big banks.  Click an the link below to read the full article.   The Tea Baggers are organized and make a big splash in the media every day.  People like us, who by far are the majority in this country sit by,  don’t make a stir and the media ignores us.

Republican leaders — led by the perpetually tanned John Boehner, House Republican leader, and his whip Eric Cantor — are looking to sell themeselves to big bankers angry about financial reform.

Cantor says: a lot of bankers who supported Obama are feeling “buyers' remorse.” His answer? Buy us.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Boehner pitched Jamie Dimon, head of JP Morgan Chase for Republicans, arguing that Republicans are there for him, standing up to block any financial reforms, opposed to taxes on big banks, opposed to cracking down on speculation, opposed to protecting consumers. And, Rs have proven that they will stay bought.

Have the tea baggers heard about this? Seems like an odd alliance — folks justifiably outraged at the bank bailout with conservatives who are openly solicting bank money in exchange from blocking any and all reforms.

Why didn’t we get the leadership we expected and really needed after the eight year Bush debacle?

I would like to hear some real comments from some serious readers of my blog.  The only comments that I seem to get these days are spam that wants me to direct you to web sites that promote porn, fake meds or who want to install viruses, and they are a nuisance delete so they won’t be posted.  I really would like to hear from  my readers who have something interesting to say..

Follow the link below.  You can read the speech that President Obama should give when he makes up his mind

about what we should do in Afghanistan.  Neither he nor any of his speechwriters wrote this,

and the odds are that he won’t say anything like this, but we can hope.

To this retired lawyer it is clear that William Safire, even in dealing with language origins and usage, is still unable to transcend his right-wing political biases.

This is an excerpt from a letter to the New York Times, and I think that it puts the term “Judicial Activism” into its proper perspective.  The right wing pundits are forever complaining about “Judicial Activism” if a Supreme Court decision is rendered that they disagree with.
