Fired Up! Ready To Go! Hello, Minnesota!

Pres. Obama was on fire again today in Minnesota talking about Health Care. He rallied the crowd and gave a great speech mostly using the same talking points he used the other night in Congress. One new item he added was the Treasury report he talked about this morning.

When he first came out he asked the group who were first come first serve ticket holders if they were "Fired Up, Ready To Go?" and they responded with Yes We Can.

At the end of his speech he told the story of Greenwood, SC which quickly became a rally cry of the campaign "Fired Up, Ready to Go" and he closed with that chant.

Here is the video link and I will embed it when it becomes available.

Here is the video now:



I hope you enjoy it.

Congrats Sen. Franken

If Gov. Pawlenty will just sign the certificate and let Sen. Al Franken get to work in Washington and allow Minnesota to have it's second senator that it has been missing since November of last year. This will be true.

Michelle Bachmann Still Has Her Crazy On

Michelle Bachmann is still shining brightly in Congress for the people of Minnesota. I hope the idiots who re-elected her are proud of her. Geeze this woman just exemplifies stupid. In so many ways...

First there was this example of her brilliance... "I'm a foreign correspondent on enemy lines and I try to let everyone back here in Minnesota know exactly the nefarious activities that are taking place in Washington."

"I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax, because we need to fight back," said Bachmann. "Thomas Jefferson told us, having a revolution every now and then is a good thing. And the people - we the people - are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country."

Of course, she now says she was speaking rhetorically. Yeah, like when she was on Hardball, and said Chris Matthews took her words out of context, and twisted them around. I heard what she said, it was on tape and no one took her out of context.. that woman is NUTS.. certifiable NUTS.. Now, she does this, in the hearings this morning in Congress asking Sec. Geithner and Chairman Bernanke questions and then getting schooled by Barney Frank.
