Hi Readers,
As you know I'm a Progressive Liberal Democrat and PROUD of it! I also tell it like it is both with my Diary here and My blog, The Non-Trad Manifesto, the link,http://www.blondmama.blogspot.com, I don't see any other way to communicate but to tell the truth and be a genuine person. That's why I like Barack Obama. He grew up with genuine people not the wealthy preening people that look down at those without wealth. He was on Food Stamps because his mother became a single parent because his dad left him and his mother. He was born with a rusty spoon in his mouth, like me. But we both polished our spoons with education but his was more extended then mine so his spoon has such a shiny sheen that it actually glitters.
This is my second go round as part of Team Obama. I feel more tension now then in 2008. It has made me more then ever feel like putting his message out there so people get to know the truth not the Tea Party spin that is spewn by Fox "News" and Mitt Romney operatives. He has accomplished more in three years then Bush did in eight! Let me tell you some of them: In The Economy He created more than 3 million private sector jobs as of December 2011! and he passed the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. In four more years he can build the economy more by making green decisions in the work place among other ideas.
For better education he has doubled the funding for Pell Grants and capped the maximum monthly student loan repayment at 10 % of income.
In National Security he brought the Iraq War to a responsible end and refocused the fight on al-Qaeda. He ended "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". He is helping veterans find good jobs and improving access to quality health care.
This is a GREEN president and he proved it by nearly doubling the fuel efficiency of America's cars and light trucks. But his greatest green inititive was the establishing the first-ever national standards on mercury and other toxic emissions from power plants!
Let's talk Health Care. Most of you know that he passed a Health Care Plan but some of the parts won't be enacted until 2014 (if the Supreme Court don't kill it) So I will just talk about what's being done now. He has expanded the health care access to 32 million more Americans. The bill allows children up to 26 to stay on their parent's health plan. He is ending insurance company abuses like denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions or cancelling coverage for sick people. He is covering preventive care like mammograms and the like!
He sounds like a winner to me! You have to think like an employer, if your worker is improving the company, seeing to it that people that want to harm the company is being dwindled, and creating new jobs to help the company prosper. If you are a smart employer, you think, "I got to keep this guy around! The other guy that wants his job will destroy the company! I just can't let him in!" Be the SMART employer!
