My Comment

This excellent demonstration outlines the basic tax avoidance strategy and heartless takeover tactics employed by financial speculators like Mitt Romney in building their great personal fortunes at the expense of victim company employees and the average American taxpayer.

This is precisely why a financial legal expert like Elizabeth Warren is needed in the US Senate to drive and explain the new Obama tax proposal ‘ The Buffet Rule’, and to close the great loopholes in company tax law, so easily exploited by carpetbaggers like Romney and his ilk.

Will the DNC choose a woman as its Convention’s Keynote Speaker in Charlotte in 2012?

At the Democratic National Convention in New York in 1976, Barbara Jordan, an African American, and member of the US House of Representatives from Texas, delivered one of the then two keynote speeches. Astronaut John Glenn, gave the other.

In so doing, Ms Jordan became the first African American woman in 144 years, to deliver a keynote address to that body. The Democratic Party’s presidential candidate that year, Jimmy Carter, went on to win the presidential election.

In 1992, Barbara Jordan then an adjunct Professor at the University of Texas, was invited to deliver a second Keynote speech to the DNC National convention in New York.  The Democratic Party’s presidential candidate that year, Bill Clinton, went on to win the Presidency.

The 1992 Jordan speech is both remarkable and inspirational. It touches on issues as if it was prepared to be delivered today. It will appeal to Obama supporters and especially women, in light of  current events in the United States.

Barbara Jordan earned many honors prior to her death in 1996. Full details can been seen via the Wikipedia link.

Her 1992 speech would be a useful study for whomever is selected to deliver the 2012 DNC Keynote address in Charlotte. Change it seems, is always a work in progress.

Currently a petition is underway to support the Professor Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts for the 2012 Keynote speaker’s role. Link:

The Obama campaign’s first shot in the general election campaign of 2012

Telling Thoughts

The documentary ‘The Road We’ve Traveled’ represents the Obama campaign’s first shot in the general election campaign of 2012.  Directed  by Davis Guggenheim and narrated by actor Tom Hanks, it provides a snapshot of some of the experiences and major legislative achievements of the first three years of the Obama presidency.

Elizabeth Warren’s incredible work in setting up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and her significant TARP financial oversight management contributions on behalf of the President, are given the recognition she’s deserves with her cameo appearance in the film.

Producing  this story and releasing it at this time, was a fine idea.  I hope those who vote as Independents will study it closely and remember the words of Davis Guggenheim, when he said there was not enough time to include all of the President’s achievements.

The Road We’ve Traveled 17 mins.

President Obama demonstrated today that he is now prepared to start knocking down the myths and blatant untruths that have been promoted and exaggerated by GOP Presidential candidates in their over the top struggle to buy votes and financial support to become the Republican nominee to contest the 2012 Presidential election. The Barack Obama in this excerpt of his 28 min speech, is the man America saw on the campaign trail in 2008.

Today the President gave American workers the facts, and putting politics aside, he set the record straight. From today forward he will call it as it is – all the way to November 4.  That can only be good for his prospects. He clearly understands that the GOP  have nothing of substance to offer America. Nothing that is, except Wars and Debt, Corrupt corporate tolerance, Religious extremism, and a denial of Women’s basic human rights.

May I invite you to sign the petition to have Elizabeth Warren deliver the Keynote Address at the DNC convention in Charlotte NC to launch the 2012  Presidential Campaign.

Apologies to the producers of the smash hit musical, My Fair Lady, for borrowing the famous line delivered by actor Rex Harrison in his role of Professor Henry Higgins.

There is no doubting Elizabeth Warren’s ability to connect with people. Quite a gift and so important in representative politics.
