"Just Tell Them...
I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

Sadly, the speech Mr. Obama gave last night amounted to little more than a scolding. It was supposed to be about the future of health care in the U.S. But it wasn't. Not really. What the president did last evening, via live television, was to scold the nation for not being with him on .... some kind of "plan" that we haven't yet seen.
The scolding provoked Rep. Joe Wilson to blurt out the only line of the evening that will actually be remembered:
"You lie!"
What the *president* talked about made most Universal Care advocates scratch their heads ... along with Dennis Kucinich:
How on earth will padding the pockets of pharmaceutical and insurance companies help us dig our way out from under this health care mess we are in? The implication is preposterous, at best.
From what I saw last night... and read this morning....
The Right thinks our president is a liar.
The Left thinks he's confused.
Nobody is citing anything about Barack Obama's health care address that they saw as a clarion call or game changer.
It isn't often you meet a truly bold Ohio pol. So, as an Ohioan, I would like to call attention to one. State Rep. Dennis Kucinich has voted with the Blue Dogs against Obama's "stimulus" package.
In "real life" Dawg is a mom, a nurse, a pet rescuer and a tireless advocate for animal rights.
Dawg is happily married for thirty years and has raised three awesome children. She holds an advanced degree in Family Science, wherein her research was focused on women's support circles during parturition. Her dedication to Women's Rights is directly affected by her belief that motherhood should not be a sentence to isolation and disenfranchisement.
Dawg is on hiatus from political bloggery d/t the intense demands of her engagement in the No Kill movement at this time. However, she remains influenced by PUMA politics and reads the blogs of her fellow PUMAs (at right) regularly.
