James F. "Jim" Michie replied to Smiley and West's discussion Hot Stuff: Taxing the Rich"You got it right again, Brother West. No question about it. Barack Obama is really good at "talking-the-talk" as the con-man that he turned out to be. So now he wants "the millionaires to pay more." Well…"
James F. "Jim" Michie replied to Smiley and West's discussion After the Speech"A shouted AMEN to that, my friend. A mystery, truly a mystery as to why President Obama can't seem to bring himself to recognize the growing plight of the poor and, yes, the hungry and the homeless."
James F. "Jim" Michie replied to Smiley and West's discussion After the Speech"I agree with both of you, but what really hurts those who supported this man in 2008, including myself, is how deeply disappointed we all are over the fact that Barack Obama will not stand up to the global corporatist oligarchy that obviously…"

James F. "Jim" Michie replied to Smiley and West's discussion CBC MEETING"An interesting discussion, but with the African American unemployment rate at 17.3 percent, I find it inexcusable that Mr. Obama would so conspicuously delay his meeting with the CBC for too many months. My view is that he just did not want to…"

Walter Simtec Simmons said… Hi My friend. Welcome to the speakout.
We put too much power and discretion into the hands of the legislators and elected officials without a prepared agenda from the community, city, and state to follow. Political Parties cannot set an agenda for the American people. Their job is to implement. There should be more organization at the grass root level to address the issues that affect the American People as a whole. The development of our youth cannot be limited to the time they spend in the public school system. In order to make America a more perfect union, we must seriously clean it up and dispel the myths. The question is, are we ready to do that? Lets talk that talk and walk that walk. “ I am no better and neither are you, we’re all the same what ever we do. Republican, Democrat, Tea Party and then, makes not different what group I’m in”
“I am still everyday people”.
How can we move forward with a progressive agenda that benefits all whom it affects?
