Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. I wish everyone a very safe and happy holiday. I hope that you re able to spend it with your loved ones. This is short list, it is not exhaustive. This is what I m thankful for: I m thankful for a wonderful, loving wife and family. I could not be more blessed. I m thankful that I m not writing George Bush s autobiography. How do you make eight years of failure sound good? I am thankful for our wonderful troops overseas here at home. I m hopeful that the troops at Fort Hood are getting the support that they need. I m thankful that Bernie Madoff got none of my money. I m sad that Wall Street CEO s didn t personally invest in his schemes. I m thankful that Joe the Plumber s 10 minutes is up. I m thankful that neither John McCain nor Sarah Palin became president. I m thankful that Barack Obama is our president. I m thankful that the House has passed healthcare legislation. I m glad that Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln and Ben Nelson don t represent me or my state. I m glad that progressives rejected Joe Lieberman. I m just sorry they couldn t convince the rest of the state not to vote for him. I am thankful for Senator Al Franken who has stood up for working women and against big corporations. I am thankful that I belong to a party that does not hold litmus test for entry. I am in thankful that the economy is improving. I m extremely hopeful that the economy will begin making jobs in the first quarter of next year. We need jobs. We desperately need millions of jobs. We need slow, and stay sustain growth not for two or three years but for an extended period of time. We need green jobs. We need jobs that cannot be shipped overseas. We need American companies to begin to invest Americans again.

BTW, how did a couple of nobodies crash the White House State dinner? Did the Secret Service take the night off? Did they know the kitchen help and sneak in that way? I don t understand how this happens in a post 9/11 world.
