I put my thoughts about the president’s speech in writing last night. Just scroll down to yesterday’s blog to read my anger. Of course, on today’s show, I had a bit more to say. We listened back to some of the pertinent points and did some fact-checking too, with a little help from the AP.
I also opened the phone lines and took some calls…
We checked in with Harvey Wasserman, author of Solartopia! whose latest missive, “Corporate Apocalypse vs. Solartopian Survival” is on FreePress.org and other sites today. We spoke about what President Obama could have and should have said last night.
In hour two, environmental attorney and co-host of Ring of Fire Radio, Mike Papantonio checked in with an update on the class action lawsuit he’s filed against BP, as he leads the charge to hold them criminally responsible for this disaster.
Tomorrow night, John Fugelsang returns…and we’ll see what else the day brings. Radio or not….
