Went to the Super Committee hearing earlier today!

[ObamaKerryDem]

My seats weren't nearly as good as last time (MUCH bigger venue, with a whole floor section devoted to media, blocking much of the way..ugh, lol) so my pictures suck-but will share them here when I upload them later on! Couldn't stay for the whole thing-but JK's opening statement was GREAT! :) So eloquent (as always), yet concise and on point. I especially liked how he addressed the need to balance the budget WITHOUT hurting people in the process (i.e not cutting benefits, etc). I continue to feel reassured with JK and people like Clyburn (who also gave a terrific opening today), Van Hollen, etc on board. I just hope their voices are heard in the end..!

Has anyone here seen the whole thing yet or read the transcript? I unfortunately wasn't able to stay for all of the Q and A part, so I missed if JK asked a question (boo! :()

Oh and the website for the committee has been launched!:

I will try to continue to attend as many hearings as possible while I am here in DC. This is such an important moment!
