President Obama On Dedication Of King Memorial

2011-10-17T02:35:00.000Z

Please take the time to watch this speech and take it to heart. We have a great man as our president in these hard times and cannot afford to sit out and wait for a right-wing take-over of our government from which those of us not now rich may never recover.

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

2010-01-18T19:54:00.007Z

This in my opinion is the single most powerful statement by President Obama of the unbroken links between today's fight for justice such as better access to health care and the much more perilous burdens Dr. King's generation and those preceding it had to bear. The video speaks for itself:

President Obama explains the bank fees he is pushing through to be applied to the largest financial firms that benefited from the TARP program and whose continued existence is largely a function of the massive assistance granted to it by the Treasury and Federal Reserve and ultimately the US taxpayers. This fee will complete the recovery of all of the 750B$ of TARP funds + interest over a period

The President today in his opening remarks to the sixth full press conference of his presidency made a powerful moral and literal case for the American people's outrage at the violent suppression of the freedom of assembly and speech by the Iranian government of it's own people. In my opinion this statement is far more powerful than the cheap and easy words of Senator McCain or his stooge Senator
