Hartmann: If Obama Doesn't Want to Lead the Revolution - Young People Will

30 years ago - Ronald Reagan led a counter-revolution in America against the revolutions of the New Deal and the Great Society. It was a counter-revolution that ripped our economy from the hands of the middle class....and handed it off to the wealthiest corporate CEOs and Banksters in the world - letting America's oligarchs run the show. Now - thirty years later - we know how that counter-revolution turned out - and the backlash - or revolution - against Reagan, and subsequent Presidents who carried on his principles, is underway. The Streets of lower Manhattan are buzzing today with America's next generation of leaders - young people in their twenties - who will inevitably determine the direction of this nation - but first - must wrestle back power from Reagan's oligarchs who work on Wall Street. This is the revolution that they - and even older Americans - hoped for when Barack Obama pledged to "fundamentally change the United States and the world" when he was elected President in 2008. But so far - this pledge has been unfulfilled. Turns out - Barack Obama was not that much of a revolutionary. But ultimately - it was never about him - it was about us - and in particular it was about the young people - because all revolutions - even Reagan's - don't originate from one man - they originate from the people - from the bottom up.

Hartmann: Is Fall TV putting Women "In their Place?"

Sarah Seltzer, Alternet joins Thom Hartmann. Have you noticed the bevy of playboy bunnies and sexy stewardesses occupying TV's new Fall lineup? There's an interesting theme common to several of these new shows - they glorify a time in our recent past when women were "in their place" and men ran things - without doing the relatively nuanced job that the creator of the genre, Mad Men, did of showing what a toll this took on women in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s before the women's movement had really taken hold and gotten power. From re-hashing "Charlie's Angels" - to a show about Playboy bunnies - to a show about sexy stewardess at Pan Am - the fall line-up is imagining an America that really never was - and seems, frankly, somewhat misogynist. So why is that?
