Today in Politics: If you see America as big and bold and generous, Mr. President, why is the next Democratic Convention being held in a Non-Union hotel?

Okay. The President is beleaguered by a Congress full of monsters who see this rightist shift in the Democratic Party as its occasion to uncover its true nature of racists, mass murderers, anticonstitutionalists experts in greed and ignoramuses in economics, citizenship, culture and religion among much else. Okay. A law that would have put hundreds of thousands of people at work under a governmental aegis, also as police and as firefighters didn't even make it out of the committee (doesn't the president want to support business and sees a lesser role played by government in economics as well? And why is that?). Okay, you have jackasses like Perry obsess about the President and hanging the Federal Reserve Board like the secessionist racist economy destroyer he is: it's appalling that in 2011 I still have to hear idiots make a particular "race" or "races"* an electoral ticket choice to defeat or destroy, let alone people having to fight for their equality based on their sexual preference, which is no one's business but theirs. Okay, the President answered back by encouraging Perry to be cautious (well appreciated) but left the intimation in his sentence that all European descent people are like Perry wide open in his statement. Okay, there's angry Palestinians about. But then, if we go back to pre-1967 borders, Jerusalem is no longer the capital of the future Palestinian state, is it, but a city in Jordan.
Not okay, money and greed make people think up of names like Department of Competitiveness in an effort to condense at least two departments, when in times of economic trouble we should be expanding them and adding new governmental jobs. Not okay, the military is being cut; Not okay, so are entitlements; not okay, unions are being damaged, even by the Governor of New York, who asked them to choose between cuts or hundreds of thousands of firings (which is...!). Okay, we're up for a fight, don't we know it. But, Mr. President, are you or those like you in the Democratic Party? If things continue like this, all we can do is urge you to reconsider and return to the true mission the Democratic Party and not only the Democratic Party held up for itself, like the New Deal, or, as a columnist of The Nation advises, maybe we should all look for a new party to carry on the self-same mission. Changing the hotel for the convention is a good start.

*there are no races, we're all human beings.It's as stupid a concept as calling a brown cow and a black and white cow different races. Or a dalmatian and a collie.Do we?
