President Obama appeared on Univision today. More:
""That’s how I got elected, and that’s how the big accomplishments like health care got done, was because we mobilized the American people to speak out. That’s how we were able to cut taxes for middle class families. So something that I’d really like to concentrate on in my second term is being in a much more constant conversation with the American people so that they can put pressure on Congress to help move some of these issues forward."

GWDF2 D15H8 Internal Bleeding Tests Sched 10/11
Given that I can, to my horror, see no signs of viable human Life (NO DISRESPECT TO ANYONE) ( http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2012/09/nd-life-that-which-joyfully-totally.html ) I'm holding at day 15 of the Death Fast for 8 days now, and expect to continue this indefinitely, month, longer. This morning on the scale at the Unity Health Care Center I verified that I'm maintaining the 15 day, .5lb per day weight loss of the 15 days of the Death Fast I endured.
I understand from beloved doc Cardile this morning that a colonscopy, and the one thru the throat, could point to some inexpensive therapy - targeted anti-biotic, for example. Even tho my fellow citizens would cover it, I'm forever unwilling for expensive care, when 4 billion of my sisters and brothers exist on $4 per day or less? Been there. Done that. Never again.
Oct 11 is a consultation, tests to be scheduled then.
