Thanksgiving Proclamation
P.V. left this in our inbox this afternoon: Last year I shared President Obama’s Thanksgiving Proclamation with the advanced English class I was teaching in Spain, where I was studying for graduate school. It was my way of celebrating Thanksgiving abroad and as everyone read aloud, I felt proud of my country and everything the United States has done for the world. Also, they thought it was pretty...

"Yes we can" inspired me
Morgan sent this in this morning and it kind of made our day: “We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can withstand the power of millions of voices calling for change. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We’ve been asked to pause for...

Your favorite POTUS quotes
Yesterday, we asked you to send in your favorite President Obama quotes for possible posterification. Here’s what we found in our inbox. V. said, “A personal favorite quote from POTUS is this one from his 2008 convention speech.” “America, we cannot turn back. Not with so much work to be done. Not with so many children to educate, and so many veterans to care for. Not with an...

I have a strong, marketable skill set and have been told by several prospective employers that I have “amazing promise” as a...

Why A.K. and Kate can't wait
Some more stories this morning from people who are done waiting for Republicans in Congress to take action on jobs: A.K. wrote in: I am a college freshman who is going into education. I keep hearing that my chances of finding a job, especially one that I can actually use my passions and my talents, are going to be slim to none. I am sick of hearing this. Teaching is the groundwork where we are...
