In spite of my initial disappointment with Obama for moving to the center on several issues, what really glued me to him was when I talked to the Obama campain and told them I was mad about the move to center and wanted my donations back. They were polite, didn’t argue and asked for my info so they could send it back. I couldn’t believe it. I changed my mind and told them to keep it.

What I was getting at before I was interrupted, this call from healthcareunited.org was consistent with the Obama campaign’s grassroots organization style. It may be, win or lose on November 4, Obama may continue to use this kind of organization and fundraising from small donors to build support for reform programs.

I received a phone call from a young man representing healthcareunited.org. It was a nice conversation. The guy actually made “room” to listen to what I had to say. He didn’t ask for anything, no money, nothing. He asked if I wouldn’t mind if he called back in a couple of weeks to talk about healthcare again.

He said that he worked with Barack Obama several years ago. I checked healthcareunited.org and found it legit.

Two unrelated points:

1) Unless Congress acts, I don’t think the SOFA agreement is binding on the next president.

2) We should focus less on how much we trust Obama and more on what we are going to do to pressure Obama and the congress to do what needs to be done for our country.

You’re right, I think, Lynne. Most all successful presidential candidates move toward the center to get elected. And Sirena is right in that he’s no messiah, but we’re in for rougher times than most expect, I fear. It would surprise me if the corrupt money system, that’s turning the entire world upside-down, survives. Why return for seconds? “Please sir, may I have another.”

Good luck, folks, buckle up.
