My take on Perry and secession treason, Obama’s repeated pivoting, the Wisconsin recall, and the extremely unpopular Congress. If you want to receive my adVantage Points every weekday morning in your inbox, email info@movementvision.org

Rick “The Pot” Perry Calls Kettle Black - story
A guy who has flirted with secession has no place calling the Federal Reserve, or anyone else for that matter, treasonous for saving America’s economy.
Wisconsin Recall Election Today – story
In the Badger State, working people are tired of being badgered by Republican demagogues taking from the middle class and giving to the rich. Regardless of the outcome in the recall elections, there’s no question the anti-worker policies of Republicans nationwide have fired up the electorate, making 2012 a very tough year for the GOP.
Congressional Approval Rating at Historic Low - story
Enough talk about Obama’s approval rating. He looks like Mr. Popularity compared with Congress. Commentators need to spend a bit more time talking about Congressional approval ratings — especially the heinously low approval of Republicans in Congress.
Obama Really Shifting Tone This Time? - story
I’d love to see Obama shift to aggressively fighting for jobs and the middle class and calling out the GOP for their pro-super rich elitist agenda. But if you claim to “pivot” every week, those pivots look less and less pivotal.

I jsut saw you on Fox and you are a real ass. Typical socialist.
Just watched you on Fox News. Your facial expressions give you away. Just another condescending spoiled Socialist Brat.
Before you are critical of Rick Perry you need to know Texas law and the Rights given to Texas after the Civil War
Obviously Mrs. Kohn’s take on politics and which side she resonates with has a lot to do with her personal agenda. This is why Americans are divided today more so than they where whith previous administrations. If you’re gay or lesbian then you’ll resonate with gay and lesbian causes. If you’re heteralsexual then of course you’re stance is somewhat expected. Mrs. Kohn, your idea of a dialogue is merely defending your cause and pushing down others. Thank God you live in the United States and not in another country that would not allow you to express your personal feelings. Why cant you see the other side, or more importantly why won’t you allow others that don’t share your point of view to do the same?
