Words of wisdom; here is a sample:
This is an example of how news can be distorted. A current example is the howling over President Obama spending to pull the country out of a recession.
Since 1978, Democratic Presidents have been responsible for creating one trillion, three Hundred Eighty Billion dollars of deficit spending. Over the same period of time, Republicans Presidents have been responsible for creating Five Trillion, Eight Hundred Billion dollars of deficit spending! Are you surprised?

 

E-mail President Obama about your views on the role of government or current issues at www.my.barackobama.com

For a local, statewide plan, see www.healthywisconsin.net. We could do this locally if the country can't get the work done.
