Sounds ok, but I'm afraid to trust at this point. :scared:

1. We know what he'd do, we know what he wants. We DON'T

know that he'll get the votes for this. Or, maybe we do. :(

2. Sorry to hear that; I'm not. In fact, I have new hope.

Our President sounds very determined, and I'll feed my optimism off of that. :hug:

m$m keeps saying the Prez threw down the gauntlet. Let it be so.

3. It's called "learned helplessness"...

You can reduce an animal or a human to a quivering lump of protoplasm by just randomly fucking with them enough in a situation where they either have no control over their own situation or feel that way..

That's pretty much what's happened to any progressive who's been watching politics for lo these last thirty years now.

5. I think we should back this President... he is our firewall against the Baggers and their agenda.

7. That is a fucking scary thought

Expect one of them to protect us from them.

It is insanity.

8. Firewalls don't cave.

We'll see on this one. Hope you're right this time.

6. It's called "Fool me twice, shame on me."

Hard to get that hope up again. But this was the first speech that resonated with me in a very long time. I don't know why I should believe him, but I'm hopeful.

9. talk is cheap...

actions speak louder than words...

...and finally, only time will tell.
