On Ed just now: Firefighters just threw a shot across the bow
Perhaps...as many times in the past...the Unions will be our saving grace.
A gal can hope, anyway.

2. and Ed was just yelling to Obama..Mr President..stay with your base!
and he kept yelling..If you don't stay with your base you will pay for it in the mid terms and possibly all the way to 2012..

( I am paraphrasing )

New CBS poll shows Obama tanking on Health care..

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2010/01/11/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry6084856.shtml?tag=pop

Just 36 percent of Americans approve of Mr. Obama's handling of health care, according to the poll, conducted from Jan. 6 – 10. Fifty-four percent disapprove.

3. Ed also mentioned that Harry Reid was coming back to DC from Campaign trail
and he was surmising that the Union Leaders laid down the gauntlet, about this tax and this bill..and that Obama is in trouble with the bill!

8. Yes ..it will take the unions to save the middle class..now we must support the unions ..
call a local union ..or the national....ask what you can do to help..or just tell them you support them in this fight!

Then call your congress person and tell them you stand with the unions ..and the middle class ..no excise tax on Health care! None ..zero!

Thanks..

Fly..APFA retired...in solidarity with my Union brothers and sisters!

6. Let's hope!
But somehow I don't have any faith that we will get anything of substance from this administration.

11. "the Unions will be our saving grace"
After the 04 election, there were many here blaming the unions for not producing enough votes. It was quite disheartening.
