The negative, pounding, organized, relentless GOP drumbeat against

Obamacare is blasting like a rocket into the stratosphere. They are desperate, strident and everywhere.

I watched David Frum on Bill Maher pound away at breakneck speed point after point why the American people hate it.....

The lack of push back whenever a Democratic surrogate is present is...stunning...allowed the GOP to seize the message when they could have said..."you lie." The GOP has gained traction in the polls..

Leadership opened the door that led to Summers withdrawal when

Tester, Warren, Brown, Merkley et al....stepped up and voiced their intention to vote no.

Once that happened, the long-running anti-Summers rumble among the base, turned onto a roar...

Have we changed, or have they? Is it possible for us to have another run at having our voices heard?

Thank you, Sen. Sharrod Brown, w/Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen Jeff Merkley for

declaring in advance - they will vote NO should President Obama nominate Larry Summers.

I am emailing my support to these senators.

Dear President Obama; The anti-war roar resonating from

coast to coast has been a long time coming...and no disrespect intended, but shouldn't be a surprise.

It seems as though huge numbers of people who voted for you twice, have drawn their red line in the sand.

Supporters tried to heard on a whole bevy of important issues- wondered why you refused to put single-payer on the table BEFORE the debate even started, to the curious and hugely shocking way the financial institutions were essentially given a pass.

Unfortunately, of all issues it is Syria that has mobilized public opinion across party lines and sadly created agreement between people who hate you..and people who hate war.

It is sir, a mess.

Signed a loving but disheartened supporter.

Am I the only person here watching the presser from Sweden?

Has anyone here heard the President's remarks....?

September 4, 2013

Presser from Sweden..is a very clear example of why President Obama

doesn't talk to me enough.

I need to hear from him in detail, in depth, listening as he weaves historical context...

5 minutes on the run, here and there, rose garden....are not working for me.

I like it when he takes a lot of quality time to talk to me....just like he is doing right now in Sweden.

US Rep Alan Grayson via Big Ed radio..."at a minimum, a Billion dollars"

Who thinks there won't be retaliation?

What happens the day after the strike?

No one who advocates striking Syria can predict the outcome.

The law of unintended consequences at play.

What moral authority - the USA is broke, we owe every country...

The vultures are starting to circle, the smell enticing.

They are ready, once again, to collectively dive bomb and strip the flesh from the bones.

Our President is once again the period at the end of the sentence. This time the topic is not his nation of birth, or his health care plan...Now it's his foreign policy.

They are so desperate to set a big trap....for now, and 2016....

Right before our eyes, we witness in real time....a no win situation.

Please forgive my rambling...I cannot tolerate or bear to listen to one more word from the GOP, and I think I am losing it.
