WASHINGTON – Reversing a ban on oil drilling off most U.S. shores, President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced an expansive new policy that could put new oil and natural gas platforms in waters along the southern Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and part of Alaska

What the hell? I HOPE this isn’t the type of CHANGE we’re going to get from Obama. Maybe I was wrong to expect anything more from a black guy.

If any of my readers know a way I can get in touch with him directly I would appreciate you letting me know. I know I can get my drilling evidence in front of him personally (instead of filtered through the corporate whores that separate government from the public) he couldn’t ignore it.

Thanks.

What can I say? It’s about damn time.

From the L.A. Times

With a sense of generational history in the making, President Barack Obama today signed into law a sweeping healthcare overhaul that offers insurance to an estimated 32 million uninsured Americans and provides new guarantees of more secure coverage for all.

Obama, who sought passage of this legislation for more than a year, portrayed it as an achievement on an historic par with the passage of Social Security after the Great Depression and Medicare in the 1960s.

We won. America won. Despite fear-mongering and scare tactics from the right. If they had gotten their way America would, sadly, continue on as it had for the past 200 years. It makes me sick to even think about it. I’m sure the rich old white people of the GOP didn’t learn anything from it, though. Sometimes people are oblivious to things right in front of their faces.

Also, has anyone else noticed that doing the correct (I hate to use the word “right,” anymore) thing goes hand-in-hand with a collapsing economy? Guess it’s the universe keeping karma balanced.

It feels good to be back. Maybe now that medical care is free I can quit my job at JC Penny and commit to this blog full-time. I feel guilty sometimes for keeping so many of my thoughts to myself. People at work have basically shunned me because they can’t handle too much truth.
