Can it be true - Obama is taking action?
A lot of rhetoric is all we've heard from Obama since the BP disaster. As president, Bush Jr. liked to say, "I'm the decider..." Well, it's about time Obama take the authority he has been given by the electorate and take action against the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Obama needs to do what's right and place restrictions on further off-shore oil exploration, fund a concerted "green energy" initiative. He needs to use his presidential authority to do what the Republican minority has refused to do thus far, i.e. bring our troops home, close Guantanamo, stop funding a top-heavy Pentagon and bring back "real" regulation to the financial industry. Speaking big without an equally big stick is just a sign of impotence.

"Sicko" - Healthcare Reform Equals a Strong Economy!
Watch Michael Moore's "Sicko" and learn what's really at stake if our legislators don't enact real healthcare reform. Moore does not play favors, poking fun wherever the money leads. You’ll laugh till it hurts!
The topic is timely, given Obama’s initiative to offer the public healthcare at affordable prices. Our country’s financial crisis was due in part by the unabashed greed and corruption of a “profits at any cost” philosophy. American businesses need the competitive edge that a public healthcare option would provide. Big pharmaceuticals, HMOs and the healthcare industry pour millions into lobbying to maintain the status quo. They are protecting their bottom line while making basic healthcare out of reach for working families.
Join Saugerties neighbors and friends at the Inquiring Minds Bookstore at the corner of Main and Partition Streets in the Village of Saugerties, July 19, 2009 at 7:00PM to watch Michael Moore’s “Sicko”. The atmosphere is casual with lively conversation about the need to support real healthcare reform. The “agent provocateur”, as described in Rolling Stone magazine also created documentaries including Roger & Me, Bowling for Columbine, and Fahrenheit 9/11.
