He's still going,



The near-filibuster, which began at 10:25 AM, became so popular that it temporarily shut down the Senate video server.


If your an American, even if your against reformism, you gotta support this, if nothing more than a symbolic rebellion that could turn into more. Thank God this guy is in the Senate.

You guys gotta watch this, he's kicking ass. Going over how people WITH jobs are getting less, having to eat only 2 meals a day, can't visit sick loved ones, work 2 jobs, and so on and so forth, also how credit cards need to be used by many people because they can't afford basic neccessities of life.

Believe it or not--I'm on Bernie's side.

Tax breaks for the rich--right now--is STUPID.

"Why don't we remember who made this country and who sent us here."

"American people work harder than any other industrial country in the world."

"How many here in congress know what a dented can store is?"

"It seams like health care reform and financial reform was a real boom for the lobbyists around here."

"Obamas credibility has been severely damaged."

"They want to get rid of all traces of social legislation which working families fought tooth and nail to develop."

"If your 75 years and you have no money, good luck to you getting your health insurance."

"We're gonna cut back on health care, education, child care, pell programs, we don't have enough money for working money and their needs, were gonna cut back on food stamps we don't have enough money for unemployment, we gotta a higher priority, we've gotta give tax brakes to billionaires, thats what this place is all about, they fund the campains they get whats due them."

"Enough is enough, how much do you want, how much do you need, how many yachts can you own, how many homes can you have, is'nt it enough that the top 1% earns 23.5% of the income of the country, how much more do they want? Is'nt it enough that the top 1% has more wealth that the bottom 90%, how much more do they want."

"How can I get by on one house? I need five houses, ten houses! I need three jet planes to take me all over the world! Sorry, American people. We've got the money, we've got the power, we've got the lobbyists here and on Wall Street. Tough luck. That's the world, get used to it. Rich get richer. Middle class shrinks."

I know some of you might think I'm making a big deal out of this but its for a reason, this is the first time Obama was seriously threatened by the left in congress, not just through silly words, but through this action, not only that but he's creating a spektical, something which needs to be done, and when one stands up, more will too.

It seams I'm not the only one making a big deal out of this, aparently so does the American people, this thing was historically popular.

I'm gonna go so far as to say that this is the begining of a little civil war within the democratic party, between the team-Obama, team-democrat corporatists and the Progressives. You allready have Obama trying to get support for his compromise by getting Clinton's backing, its becoming clear that when it comes to progressives, he's done, all he has left are corporatist democrats and those who want the democrats to win no matter what the policies are (a minority). I'm saying this without reservations, but good stuff will come from this.

Or maybe I just can't help having hope.
