20 years of sorrow, here we are

Fierce Planet Posted on August 15, 2021 by jnfrAugust 15, 2021

My heart has broken. Like most vets, I left part of me in AFG. Later we’ll debate the failures of last 20 yrs, but today our mission is clear: hold the airport as long as possible and get ALL U.S. citizens and as many Afghan partners out as we can. We will debate the rest later — Rep. Jason Crow (@RepJasonCrow) August 15, 2021 ETA: And listen to John Cole too.

Excellent.

A small victory, and late, but still historic. This makes me happy.

Did you realize that Obama cut taxes

Fierce Planet Posted on October 19, 2010 by jnfrOctober 19, 2010

One of the weirdest things about this very weird political season is that Republicans are excoriating President Obama for raising taxes. But he didn’t. A big part of the stimulus package was a tax cut for 95% of working families. For our house, it came to about $25 in every paycheck, every two weeks. The sad thing is that most people don’t realize it, and don’t give him credit for it. And so the lies continue to spread.

Obama is Clear

Fierce Planet Posted on February 5, 2009 by jnfrFebruary 5, 2009

Speaking at the Department of Energy today, President Obama spoke strongly about why we cannot return to the Bush-era policies that got us into the mess we are in today. …So let me be clear: Those ideas have been tested, and they have failed. They’ve taken us from surpluses to an annual deficit of over a trillion dollars, and they’ve brought our economy to a halt. And that’s precisely what the election we just had was all about. The American people have rendered their judgment. And now is the time to move forward, not back. Now is the time for … Continue reading →

Obama Understands

Fierce Planet Posted on February 4, 2009 by jnfrFebruary 4, 2009

President Obama had several interviews yesterday. This bit is from his interview on ABC News. He’s talking with Charlie Gibson about the stimulus bill. …The criticisms have generally been around some policy initiatives that were placed in the bill that I think are actually good policy, but some people may say is not going to actually stimulate jobs quickly enough. I think that there’s legitimate room for working through those issues over the next several weeks to make sure that we get the best possible bill. But here’s the thing that I think we have to understand. The economy is … Continue reading →

Bipartisanship

Fierce Planet Posted on January 26, 2009 by jnfrJanuary 26, 2009

Someone needs to remind the media that when Obama says he wants to change the tone in Washington and relieve some of the bickering, that doesn’t mean he’s going to change his own ideas about policy, and give the Republicans what they want just because they stamp their little feet. He has said, clearly and more than once, that he wants ideas that will work. And he will make the judgment about what works based on his own criteria. The reason the Republicans don’t have a lot of input into this stimulus bill is that they have no good, workable … Continue reading →

The Right to Choose

Fierce Planet Posted on January 22, 2009 by jnfrJanuary 22, 2009

Statement of President Obama on the 36th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters. I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose. While this is a sensitive and often divisive issue, no matter what our views, we are united in our determination to prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce the need for abortion, and support women and families in the choices they make. … Continue reading →
