The Weekly Addresses
In this week’s address, the President discussed the progress we’ve made because of the Affordable Care Act.
In his weekly message, Governor Markell celebrated the progress made over the past eight years and highlighted the vision for a bright future for the state.
This week, The President sat down with will known YouTube creators to be interviewed and reflect on The State of the Union, headed to a local elementary school with The First Lady to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, and to Motor City to celebrate the comeback of the American auto industry.
And here is the delayed West Wing Week from last week. It is a special State of the Union edition of West Wing Week, where we follow the President to the Capitol to deliver his final State of the Union address, and then head west to Omaha, to discuss middle class economics from the living room & then from the big stage at the University of Nebraska. We’ll also visit Baton Rouge, and take to the web like never before, through the President’s very first edition of Facebook Live and then with his own Twitter Q&A.
I do so enjoy fiction novels and fictional recasting’s of history and reality. In this latest contrivance Delaware is emerging from the abyss of economic doldrums and lower paying jobs into the “darkness” of miraculous job replacement (albeit at half the pay) and awakening to the new opportunity of a $48 million giveaway to corporate extortioners. There should be some crumbs dropping from the “head-table” onto the floor for locally struggling businesses to fight over. That should keep them alert and ready for those everyday challenges they will continue to face. And surely we mustn’t forget the “educational reform” taxpayer giveaway knowing that we’ve strengthened and rewarded the Pearson’s, RODELS, Gates’s, TFA’s et-al. In our climb from the depths of the abyss into a murky darkness we also must now focus on translating “early-child” education and “child-care” needs into another opening of the taxpayer wallet for “quality” programs brought to you by RTTT early-child addition. Yes it’s “always sunny in Philadelphia” but cloudy and overcast in Dover. When reality becomes overbearingly depressing and frustrating, just curl up with a good fiction novel that will satisfy that impetuous desire to fix things. It’s easier that way.
