This is the Future

[angee_is_mad]

So let's chill the fuck out and support our President and target the dinos who has the power to keep change from happening so that these kids will not be having these conversations when they get as old as us.

I found this in the Afrospear which made me go out and see who these darlings were. These are 10 and 11 yr olds.

Chill out for a few minutes and then go back to pointing fingers at each other.

Enjoy

[angee_is_mad]

2. More Obama bashing

than dino bashing on here lately.

[NYC_SKP]

3. No doubt.

Today was a bit gentler, but that past weeks have been hell.

Fucking stupid misdirected waste of energy, IMO.

:thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

11. Yep!

Sometimes it seems like I'm reading FreeRepublic, not DU.

Thank goodness there are still voices of reason here.

15. Dang, true, it takes a really thick skin...

I understand the moderators' dilemma in wanting it to be an open forum for discussion but this is also a place for people who think that Obama is not left enough and is just part of the whole big evil corporate empire.

Well, he got elected, we should be happy and then shift gears to be activist in pushing him and congress, but we don't have to be so damn angry and accusatory of him and of each other.

:donut:

4. The President needs to call out his own

Sorry, you really can't expect all his supporters to know who they have to yell out, unless the President points to them.

[Oregone]

6. I agree

Until he does, he is somewhat complicit

[AllentownJake]

7. Somewhat?

:rofl:

Until he names and names and attacks DINOs in the Senate with the bully puppet of the Presidency he's fucking an enabler.

8. There you go

with the bashing.

5. Obama needs to use some of that political jujitsu upside some Senate Blue Dog heads.

9. +1. My sister lives for Fleetwood Mac. On top of that I have a list of Conservadems &

untrustworthy Dems...and the wild cards.

[angee_is_mad]

10. Please post them

there are alot of people on here who need to see that list!

[vaberella]

12. Here is the list:

All the Dems who voted against this Bernie Sanders bill:

http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=1&vote=00191

This is an aside of a Senator we can depend on: Up & Coming worthy to look into as she's making moves in support of Obama's positions: Gillibrand supported Bernie Sanders bill and she's currently signed on a bill to repeal DADT---that Obama asked for. So she's so far real dependable for the Dems---most thought she was going to be a Repub in sheeps clothing...like the clowns below.

Some regular dirty dealears:
Baucus (D-MT), Nay ---> Of course.
Bayh (D-IN), Nay ---> of course.
Lieberman (ID-CT), Nay ---> "
Landrieu (D-LA), Nay ---> "
Hagan (D-NC), Nay ---> "
Shaheen (D-NH), Nay --> "

The Nelson's--little pariahs--They're both conservadem members.
Nelson (D-FL), Nay
Nelson (D-NE), Nay

Specter (D-PA), Nay


http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=111&session=1&vote=00174

Another area to look at the list of names. I collect the names based on bills rejected. Baucus and Bayh stand out the most. Although on the above bill Bayh supported it; Baucus did not. Neither did Specter.
Nelson (D-NE), Nay

13. During the OFA healthcare meetings

We watched a video with the President telling us specifically to call our reps and senators. He didn't name names, but he still told us to call nevertheless. So whoever said he's complicit doesn't know what he's talking about.

14. Damn..even a great thread like this had to be driven off course.

Anyway thanks for posting this Angee. I am a huge Fleetwood Mac fan and these kids did Stevie justice. I just read on another site that the children got to meet Stevie. Here's some details about it if anyone is interested.

From the PS22 Blogspot....

Meeting Stevie at MSG

After having her breath taken away by the PS22 Chorus "Landslide" video, Stevie Nicks and the rest of Fleetwood Mac had us down to Madison Square Garden on Thursday for a musical rendezvous! She took the time to shake hands and hug (Elijah even got a kiss, the happy boy!) every single member of the chorus when she greeted us. She told the kids about the first time she saw their video of "Landslide," and how it brought her to tears.

Stevie went on to say how watching the PS22 Chorus version of "Landslide" on the internet took her back to when she was first starting her career in music, in her late twenties. ("I know that seems incredibly old to you guys," she joked.) She told the chorus how she wrote "Landslide" and put it on a little dinky tape recorder and then gave it to guitarist Lindsay Buckingham. And he would shape it into something completely beautiful. Her message to the kids was that a completely humble beginning led her to where she is now, playing at Madison Square Garden, one of the biggest stadiums in the world. And now the kids' humble beginning has brought them there too. She was repeatedly telling the kids that anything is possible, and all their dreams can come true.

Ms. Nicks also spoke about what it was like to be a woman in a male dominated music industry. She revealed her strength, saying, "I never allowed myself to be treated like a second class citizen." The kids were really taken with her and obviously inspired. And they ALL loved the way she smelled, and told her so! It was adorable.

Then the PS22 Chorus took the stage at Madison Square Garden, with Stevie Nicks as an audience. You could see the sheer delight all over her face as the kids did an utterly gorgeous version of "Landslide," including a one-line intro from another Fleetwood Mac song, "Silver Springs," as a little surprise.

Stevie burst on to the stage after the kids were finished and expressed her enthusiasm for the performance. I wish I could remember all the amazing things she said, but one quote that I am sure of, as it was the last thing she said to the kids after they sang (I had it written down):


"I will never forget it, and being in your presence.... as long as I live."


After that, the band took the stage for their soundcheck which the kids got to watch! They sounded incredible, and it was just an unforgettable thrill to be exchanging these private performances. After the band left the stage, the kids were taken to a back room of MSG to eat dinner with the crew and band, where on the way we ran into drummer Mick Fleetwood and the previously mentioned Lindsay Buckingham, who both had some very kind words about the kids as well! When all was said and done, the kids left the arena with Fleetwood Mac T-shirts and an experience of a lifetime....

Later on, when the band took the stage for the actual performance, Stevie dedicated "Landslide" to the kids, and spoke about how she watched them on Nightline the night before. Here is an account from the kind person who let me know about it: "She came out and dedicated the song to them. Said how lucky she was to be able to hear them perform for her earlier in the day and how proud and touched she was by their total involvement in their performance."
