This
was at the end
of a previous post but it is worth repeating.
We are not going to have a Supreme
Court that will overturn Roe versus Wade. There will be no more Antonin Scalias
and Samuel Alitos added to this court.
We're not going to repeal health
reform. Nobody is going to kill Medicare and make old people in this generation
or any other generation fight it out on the open market to try to get
themselves health insurance. We are not going to do that.
We are not going to give a 20 percent
tax cut to millionaires and billionaires and expect programs like food stamps
and kid`s insurance to cover the cost of that tax cut.
We're not make you clear it with your
boss if you want to get birth control under the insurance plan that you`re on.
We are not going to redefine rape.
We are not going to amend the United
States Constitution to stop gay people from getting married.
We are not going to double Guantanamo.
We are not eliminating the Department
of Energy or the Department of Education or housing at the federal level.
We are not going to spend $2 trillion
on the military that the military does not want.
We are not scaling back on student
loans, because the country`s new plan is that you should borrow money from your
parents.
We are not vetoing the DREAM Act.
We are not self-deporting.
We are not letting Detroit go bankrupt.
We are not starting a trade war with
China on Inauguration Day in January.
We are not going to have, as a
president, a man who once led a mob of friends to run down a scared, gay kid,
to hold him down and forcibly cut his hair off with a pair of scissors while
that kid cried and screamed for help and there was no apology, not ever.
We are not going to have a Secretary of
State John Bolton. We are not bringing Dick Cheney back. We are not going to
have a foreign policy shop stocked with architects of the Iraq war. We are not
going to do it.
We had the chance to do that if we
wanted to do that, as a country.
And we said no, [on 6 November 2012],
loudly.
