4. Well, I for one hope "Trojan Horse" is not the new DU meme for our President.

Although, reading the OP and responses does give me pause. Let me just say, I'm thankful that Barack Obama is our president, and very thankful for the BOG. And yes, I know about TPP, public option, etc., etc., and yet I still support him and am proud of all he's done for our country. I do not apologize for my support, and while I didn't bother to read Will Pitt's article (had enough of him long ago), I must say, I'm having a bit of a problem figuring out the Trojan Horse analogy. Wasn't that the one that ended the war between the Greeks and Trojans? Or perhaps it's the computer virus? Guess maybe I shoulda read Will's article, but pretty sure that would be a waste of time. Terrible meme, whatever the context. Again, I'm thankful for the BOG, and that handy-dandy ignore button.

Just as an aside--today's the 35th anniversary of the Mt. St. Helens eruption. Lived near there at the time, and it was quite a memorable occasion. Still have a bottle of ash I recovered from my front yard following the big blow. Okay, back to listening to Thom Hartmann!

Cheers and thumbs up!
