On to three immediate challenges

The potentially greatest and most immediate threat to the Nation is the"Sequester". It will destroy the economy like nothing we have seen to date if not defanged during the lame duck session.

The Fillibuster: Harry has 1 chance to bring sanity to the Senate's Rules. Otherwise the Republican minority will continue their obstructionist ways more or less unhindered. Will Harry come thru? He has disappointed too many times to take a good guess.

Iran: We can not let Neo-con-war-mongers of BOTH Parties to bomb Iran! They most certainly will if there is no public outcry.



PS: Thank you all for the best wishes and prayers. I've been hospitalized since Sunday for this new Chemo regimen, the first Chemo was in effective,this one is much harsher, but I'll make.
