“So am I”

March 1, 2009 by admin · View Comments

“I know these steps won’t sit well with the special interests and lobbyists who are invested in the old way of doing business, and I know they’re gearing up for a fight as we speak. My message to them is this: ‘So am I.’” - President Barack Obama

President Obama is gearing up to fight the special interests who received tens of billions in dollars in taxpayer subsidies from the Bush Administration.

They will fight dirty with half-truths and downright lies just as they did during the stimulus debate.

For those of you on Facebook, I created a new group to help get fight the false rhetoric. The big oil, insurance, and banking industries have a lot of taxpayer subsidies to lose, and they will spend millions to keep them – a drop in the bucket compared to what they were getting from the prior administration.

Let’s stand together to help fight the false rhetoric by using this group as a rapid response network. Get your friends to join and let’s work together to set the record straight any time we see one of these false statements on Facebook.

The above video is an excerpt from President Obama’s February 28th weekly address.

Definitely worth a watch and a special thank you to Kevin Bondelli for finding it!

I attended the rally for Barack Obama yesterday in Hartford with Congressmen John Larson & Chris Murphy. It’s amazing to see the energy that Barack Obama is generating around the state ahead of the primary. Connecticut is adjusting to its new role as battleground election state quite well!

I brought my Macbook along and was able to broadcast the event live on Ustream.tv. For the uninitiated, Ustream is essentially a live version of YouTube. It takes video running off of just about any PC or Mac and creates embeddable flash players that can be placed on any website just like YouTube lets you do. Amazing tech.

Congressman Murphy:
