1. Change the game by declassifying our history & opening prosecutions of government criminals.
It won't be an easy time, but everything else will follow.

2. Don't listen to "advice" from anonymous screen names on an Internet website.
Sorry...

I'm ashamed of myself.

Can't resist the cheap ones.

sheepishly,
Bright

3. Spend a weekend at Camp David and read everything you can about
FDR and what he did to pull America out of the Great Depression and become a three term President.

A year ago we thought we were on the slippery slope to The Great Depression V2.0. Seems something happened to change that... or slow it down.

We were in the Titanic, going over Niagara Falls... and somehow, we didn't hit bottom... and the bow has turned to point up. We don't have much momentum, yet, but at least we didn't shatter on the rocks below!

10. Get out of D.C. and read a couple of David Korten's books.
"The Great Turning" and "Agenda for a New Economy" would do just fine.

33. What can I say? I am not a one issue voter! LOL. How about this?
Stop compromising and support liberal democratic ideals instead of bipartisanship?

21. Advice..
... wise men don't need it and fools won't heed it.

Obama is getting plenty of advice, that is not his problem.

23. So, do you think everyone here is a fool?
Or you think Obama is getting the advice he needs already from the people around him?

36. The proof..
... is in the pudding. Obama projected 8% max unemployment as a reason to implement his stimulus program, and we're over 10 and heading higher. The anger and desparation are growing and there is now no way in hell things will be appreciably better in 2012.

You true believers enjoy your brief day in the sun. Obama' abject failure to handle the economic issues guarantees he is a one term president. Sadly, the next president will probably not even be a democrat.

Fool? No, just compromised.

28. Implement PAID Training/Apprentice Programs for Green/Healthcare jobs NOW...
...it will get people off the unemployment rolls, train them in new jobs so they will be ready to go when healthcare & global warming initiatives are approved. WIN/WIN/WIN

34. Stand up for your own initiatives ...
by cultivating the Democrats int stead of the Republicans. We voted for you because we did not want any more Republican ideas shattering our lives. We are your base not the Republicans. I don't want to hear "bipartisanship," I want you to lead and have some respect for your base. Otherwise you don't have my support anymore. If I never hear the word "bipartisanship" again, it will be too soon.
