Maloney Reshma Radio Debate Aftermath

I am still trying to locate the audio of the radio non debate. I mean, come on. A radio debate at 11 AM on a Tuesday on a station no one has heard of?

But when I look at these two video clips, looks to me like Maloney is tired and "maxed out," as noted in the New York Daily News endorsement of my candidate. Reshma looks fresh and ready to go get things done. Her sharps stand out. She is whip smart, she is ready. She is prepared. She is reading the pulse of the nation right.

I demand a TV debate one evening before September 14. I think the two candidates owe that to this city.

I have not gotten my TV debate yet. But based on these two YouTube clips, I am declaring this a no contest. Maloney is nowhere in the picture.




The "debate" I am really waiting for is when Reshma is going to appear on NY1 for half an hour all by herself because Maloney has refused to show up. That is when the tidal wave of victory will begin. If you think the New York Daily News endorsement was a big deal, wait until Reshma shows up on NY1 for 30 minutes. You will be blown away. She will be talking about her vision for the future, about creating jobs.

Obama's Call For $50 Billion On Public Works

Official presidential portrait of Barack Obama...Image via WikipediaThis is what I am talking about.
New York Times: Obama To Call For $50 Billion Spending On Public Works: President Obama on Monday is to call for a down payment of $50 billion in government spending to start up a long-term public works plan for upgrading transportation networks — roads, rail and airport runways — over the next six years. ...... one part of a broader economic recovery package that Mr. Obama is to introduce during a speech in Cleveland on Wednesday. ..... cut existing subsidies for oil and gas exploration and production. ...... Obama wanted to rebuild 150,000 miles of roads, construct and maintain 4,000 miles of railway — enough track to span the continent — and rehabilitate or reconstruct 150 miles of airport runways
This is small, and this is not in broadband, but this is still something. This is a small step in the right direction. This is the direction to go.
