Thank You, Mr. President! Give them Hell!

Yesterday, our President, finally did what I have been waiting for. He evoked "Give Em Hell Harry," Harry Truman style and called out the Republicans, for their inability to get the debt ceiling and economic crisis done. You know the President was right in what he said, because the Republican leaders and pundits are screaming foul. For two years the right has tried to take away women's rights, decrease social programs, cut education and attack the President at every turn. My President did what I wanted yesterday and started to call them out. The response was typical for Congress. Boehner and Cantor, came out immediately and stated that they will still stand with the corporations and elite and will not put elimination of tax breaks on the table. That is all I need to know about the Republicans and Tea Party. They will take from the Average American and continue welfare for corporations and wealthy. They will place the most vulnerable in our society at risk, but will do nothing to their wealthy friends. For my part I E-mailed the White House and followed it up with a phone call to voice my support for President Obama. I stated emphatically, that I stand behind him and am willing to support him in every way. This is what we all need to do. If you are a middle class American, elderly, poor, white , black, Asian, Hispanic or any other person that does not fall into the elite wealthy or corporate greed leader ,category then you should do the same. Call the President. E-mail him. Let him know loud and clear that we are with him in this fight. It is our fight. We will not let our country become further enslaved by special interest. Stand up and speak out now. Speak out loud and let everyone know. This is a fight we have to win if we are to keep the American promise. We cannot  lose.
