Plugging a comedians rally, bringing a comedian in to explain illegal immigration, John Kerry/biden Stating America does not understand the issues.

This is what the Liberals/Progressives thinks of its followers.

Vote Dem or Rep, but do not vote for these idiots

Kirby, you are quite, quite, wrong.

I am assuming that you are male. (If I'm wrong, mea culpa)

As a woman, let me tell you-I know Obama. He is 'that guy'. Every single one of my women friends recognizes him-including those who voted for him, who are now sorry, and fearful-because they thought that they had learned their lessons.

He comes out of nowhere, he comes on strong. He knows you-he cannot live without you. He is too good to be true, and sweeps you off your feet.

In short order, every little thing that goes wrong is YOUR fault. If he's two hours late, it is your problem because you are too fixated on time. If he is rude, it is because you were not properly attentive.

The abuse escalates-but it is your fault, because you made him angry.

Nothing is Obama's fault, and those who have lost faith in him are to blame, because they are too critical. They have no right to complain because they have no jobs-they should stop whining.

Talk to any woman you know about "him". You will recognize Obama.

And that is truly, truly frightening for our country. We are headed by a narcissist who has no concept, whatsoever, that he is to blame for his failures. Hell, he does not even recognize his failures.

I pray that we survive his presidency-the Iranians are taking full advantage of this disaster-so that we can right the ship.

Huh? I must not be a woman because this statement makes no sense. He admited making mistakes plenty of times, unlike his predesessor (W) who can't do no wrong, he he. Obama tried to govern like Bill Clinton, toward the center, but unlike Clinton he unable to create empathy from the public for his cause.

Everyone guesses wrong from time to time, that is not the issue. The broader issue is Is he smart enough to learn from his mistakes and improve or is he too damn stubborn and stuck to his gun.

no joe, I'm not a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but I sense some serious psychological projection in your post.

I'm not sure what past jilted lover or ex-husband or male relative you're projecting onto him, but I think your characterization of Obama is spurious as all get out.

Surprise in Seattle-you are still in his thrall.

Forkchops-not me. I was lucky-married my high school sweetheart. ALL of my girlfiriends had 'that guy' in their lives. One was unfortunate enough to actually marry him. It was she who first recognized Obama-then, finally, to the relief of everyone who loved her, she filed for divorce.

Hey, I guess I just realized Obama was responsible for something-that was, actually, good!

The only thing that could be more idiotic than voting for this "progressive, ie. socialistic" fraud would be voting for him a second time.

While we're at it I certainly hope some Americans wake up and realize where this country is headed with morons like this...and Pelosi, and formerly Bush, in charge.

We need to clean house and vote ALL incumbents out of office. Soon after we need to ensure that congress and the senate pass laws on term limits. Presidents have them, governors, and mayors have them. Why not congress and the senate?

Because they want to get rich and control everyone's lives. You are free to be successful in the US as long as you don't disturb the honey pot of these calculating criminals, "politicians" for you PC people.

Be gay all you want...don't force your beliefs on me. Be muslim, Christian, Catholic, who cares...don't force your crap onto me. I think everyone in this country has forgotten how to live and let live while we're so busy kissing the asses of every minority we forget that there is a majority being left behind. Disgraceful.

I have been kidding the liberals that they get their politics from comedians and Sat Nite Live TV. Is this where Obama gets his politics??? Or do the comedians get their politics from him....Bill Ayers and Van Jones are not going to be happy if they lose their influence to Jon Stewart....

Forkchops... I haven't seen you around here before... but BOY do you have NJNB's number!

NJNB: You & I go back a couple of years and I have read more than my share of your insane 'theories'... but I gotta tell you GF this one takes the cake as being the MOST OUTRAGEOUS EVAAA!

BTW: I'll take a plaid sky over ONE that is continually FALLING anytime and where were you and your precious poll numbers this morning when it came out that there was a 6% drop amongst likely Republican voters? Let me guess... the hand was not cooperating... yet you seems to have made a miraculous recovery in a V E R Y short time span...

We ALL missed your wisdom & insight... lol

Oh I see, he reminds you of OTHER people's ex-boyfriends and ex-husbands. Well, I guess that makes your completely random character defamation perfectly logical then.

Nah, Fiesty-still typing, (and baking, by the way-you know what I mean) with one hand. Lot's of typos to fix. . .

glad you're here. I was a little disappointed in you earlier-I came out, in full force, against that idiot in Ohio who tried to capitalize on his vulgarity-and denounced the idiot in Maine today. I would have hoped you would have lumped them both into the same category.

I'm surprised at you, Fiesty.

What ever will I do NJNB... NOW I won't sleep tonight because you are 'disappointed' with me...

The same could be said of you... ya know!

On another note... still waiting for you to defend the FALLING poll numbers?

By "comedians" I presume you mean people like Glenn Beck.

well, Fiesty, I've been off line all day, but I went over to realcelarpolitics to see what you are talking about -

and, I don't know what you are talking about.

The only race changes, in terms of polls, are within the margin of error.

Likewise, the generic ballot changes.

And Obama's approval ratings.

So, what are you talking about? Please tell me it isn't Gallup-because Gallup is bouncing all over the place. They are having serious weighting problems.

Cook has made some changes-all bad for the Dems. Well, except for Delaware, but that is old news. are you talking about Ohio? Because if you are, I don't see a problem-the big 'average buster' was Quinnipiac-and everybody knows that they are having weighting problems. Nonetheless, Kasich is ahead, and I don't buy the 'tightening' issue by a long shot. The two pollsters that found that race a statistical tie are not noted for accuracy.

Anyway, I'm signing off for tonight. If you give me some details of your questions tomorrow, I'll be able to answer later in the afternoon. Tomorrow and Friday are 'doctor days".

yuck.

Greek Prince? Funny that Bill O'Reilly said something similar as a guest on Jon Stewart's show only a few nights back. As usual, Bill O is WRONG, and I hope someone rubs his nose in it.

The more I hear that particular viewpoint, the more I disagree.

And brace yourself for a rally in DC that will blow the doors off Glenn Beck's rally. My family is coming in from across the entire US, and I promise you....we will be there too. Even my ultra-conservative friends agree it is time to return some sanity and common sense. Common sense is NOT a "Liberal" value.....it is a true American value. We are tired of extreme view points on either side of the aisle that are "framing the argument".

The whole name calling, fear mongering, "we can't AFFORD IT!!!" (except for Military expenditures or tax cuts for the richest 2%) thing....not working.... Dumb is not the new "smart" and sensationalizing "made up" news does nothing to serve the discourse in America.

Come....join us for an afternoon of civil discourse and calm, rational discussion with your American brothers and sisters.

See you there.

im surprised obama didn't plug the one nation working together march - i'll name a few of his Friends that are endorsing it - naacp , seiu union ,Chicago democratic socialist of America,democracy for america,national council of la raza and my favorite the communist party usa (cpusa) - go to the one nation woking together web site and see it for youre self .

I would not walk across the street to see Barack Obama or Jon Stewart. They are both symbols for what is wrong with this country. 70% of the country agrees with me. You and your liberal friends are in the minority on this issue. I am disappointed to see the country so divided, but so be it. We will beat you and take back our country in November and 2012. There is always Canada if you can't stand conservative government.

This is not a matter of Glenn Beck or jon Stewart.

It is the fact that the President of the United States has to utilize a Comedy Channel for his advancement.

That is sad and completely pathetic.

Earlier I argued about demeaning the office of the President saying we can because like a prom queen he is elected. Pretty darn effective evidence when he chose to demean it on his own.

I truly hope the next president uses some wrestling show since it will be legitimate. (mcMahon reference)!

Feisty readhead you finish reading that big bad book yet? Thing is written for a three year old.

Obama plugged Jon Stewart?

Yep, Handgunner, one buffoon plugging anothwer buffoon.

You're all wrong. 92% of the contry understands that 16% of poll respondants represent 75% of likely voters in 24% of all elections. If you fall in the additional 8% of the country that diasgrees, then you are as useless as the 73% of cult members who drink 32% of the kool-aid sold in this country.

84% of all adults know that this is true.

I’m trying to understand the message sent by Obama by plugging Jon Stewart’s little rally. Is this an attempt to legitimize this farce? Does the fact that Stewart puts the words “Restoring Sanity,” in the title of his rally make it any less provocative? Throw in Colbert’s “Keeping Fear Alive” rally and now we have somehow achieved balance? So, my understanding is that according to our President, in order to end the current polarization in our country, to mend this massive ideological divide and the vitriol that it is producing is to propagate and celebrate an event that has the specific purpose of insulting and belittling the concerns of a huge portion of the country’s population. This is the actions of our great unifier? This is his answer? Of course I expect this nonsense from John Stewart and Stephen Colbert; it’s what they do for a living and although I think their views, like most liberals, are juvenile, I have no problem with them exercising their freedoms of speech and assembly. However, to have the President hold them and their rally up as models of civility that should be emulated across the country epitomizes the arrogance, condescension and intellectual inferiority with which this administration views the citizens. The Tea Parties and their offspring have been vilified by every liberal voice in Washington without a modicum of evidence to support claims racism and bigotry; unless unknowingly to me a few Joker smiles and Hitler mustaches constitute racism. Despite this fact they remain civil as they come together in a festive manner to protest out of control spending and the eventual tax increases that come along with it and when it’s all over, they clean up their mess and go back home; come to Washington after an SEIU/AFL-CIO paid for rally and see what’s left behind. Now, it seems that the strategy of this administration and the leftists in Washington, Hollywood and the media has shifted in part from vilification to humiliation; after all, if you cannot turn them into Timothy McVeighs the next best thing is to turn them into bumbling clueless fools set upon by a fog of irrational emotion. Sorry lefties, emotion is your fuel; logic belongs to the right. Look, if Washington royalty wants to call upon their jester, Stephen Colbert, to entertain them in their royal halls of Congress, it doesn’t bother me all that much because it takes their attention away from screwing up this country. If they want Colbert to come before them and juggle, do back flips, spin a freakin Frisbee on his nose or whatever else I’m fine with it; but the President of the United States should not be contributing to the further dividing of this country.

No Joe No Bo

In short order, every little thing that goes wrong is YOUR fault. If he's two hours late, it is your problem because you are too fixated on time. If he is rude, it is because you were not properly attentive.

Thank you, Bo Bo. I now understand your often times angry, hypocritical view of politics. I'm sorry you have selected such bad men in your lifetime who obviously abused you pretty bad. Perhaps daddy didn't buy you that pony either? Try to keep your reverse misogyny out of your politics.

Not to mention that claiming some kind of special knowledge about the president of the U.S. soley because you are a woman and not a man is rather sexist.

Consider some anger management among other forms of counseling.

Article:

He continued that most people -- like the people who will be at the rally -- have more pressing concerns than to worry about the the political beliefs of others.

"They're looking after their families," Obama said,... "they may not be following every single issue because they just don't have time"

Very well Mr. President. We'll let you handle things. We're too busy being slovenly consumer employee taxpayers. We have no time to quibble over political differences, so we'll just let you do your thing.

Cue Judas Preist's "You Got Another Thing Comin.."

So now fox news and talk radio are thriving off of criticizing the president? Please Mr. President. Get off your high horse. These guys were doing perfectly well before you ever took power. PS: Smooth move to change the subject and dodge the real issues by deflecting attention away from hard questions.

One more thing: Bush weathered 8 years of name calling, disrespect, and ruthless treatment from the media. Obama is so thin skinned that it's not enough for him to have the mainstream media in his back pocket. He still goes after Fox and talk radio. What does he want? A 100% monopoly? This aint Cuba. It's America. Better get used to it. It's funny to watch liberals whine about how Obama gets criticized, or say that it's sedition. If that's true, they were the biggest culprits 2 short years ago. It's really easy for them to criticize Bush. In fact, if there was a gold medal for surviving media crucifixion, Bush would deserve it. Now Obama, their own hero, is in the ring and taking a beating. He can't handle a fraction of the same criticism Bush did. And he still whines about the fraction. What about open mindedness and tolerance? Or was that just a trojan horse? Pretty sure this = the funny hypocrisy of the decade.

Isn't Glenn Beck a comedian???

Greek Prince, an obvious tea bagger -someone please ask these clowns what programs they intend to cut when they seize power, says '70% of the country agrees with me'- meaning him on telling me and others to go to Canada and get out of HIS country! I don't think so nor do I believe that 70% of anything except slugs agrees with his hate mongering racist ranting.

Return Sanity to Government and our polity. So attend John Stewart's rally if you can and if you cannot then follow it online. But do something to eradicate hater mongering which only exists as cable news makes money off covering their biased, offensive reporting.

I think it is hilarious that the notion of restoring "sanity" has cause so much anger from republicans and tea party members. On top of that, these posts PROVE the the rally, and the President are right. All the extremists are coming out, all angry, yelling about this. While the majority of the country sits back and laughs at them. You are all proving Jon Stewart and the President right . . . you are showing everyone that you are an extremist with your insults, false accusations, and old catch phrases. So by all means, keep proving us right.

On a side note, I absolutely LOVE all the candidates the Tea Party is supporting (sarcasm). LOL. Have you seen the latest one? The guy threatened to kill a reporter, and justifies it by stating that he is an angry man. Wonderful decision guys, really . . . top notch. *golf clap* So lets recap. The Tea Party now has a guy that threatens to kill people, a hypocrite who tells you what to do with your life while asking that you ignore her past mistakes, and a leader with absolutely no ideas but the uncanny ability to put meaningless words together that make the "grizzly bear" crowd swoon. Keep up the good work, Tea Party . . . you are truly doing the Lord's work.

When I see a headline such as "Obams plugs Jon Stewart" it makes me wonder if it is a homosexual thing!

Lol

lol, Cali, if everyone exept the president and Jon Stewart are extremists, doesnt that kind of make the president and Jon Jtewart the real extremists?

"They're looking after their families," Obama said, "they don't go around calling people names, they don't make stuff up, they may not be following every single issue because they just don't have time, but they are expecting some common sense and some courtesy."

Yes they dont do that. That is what they have Obama for. Except instead of common sense and courtesy they prefer making laws without reading them and coersion.

Wow did some person compare Barack Obama to an abusive boyfriend?

NoJoNoBo NJ. claims she and her girlfriends have had enough "experience" with his type to recognize him as an emotional abuser.

JoAnnaSmith1

Obama's constant infatuation with Fox is getting to be quite disturbing.

Infatuation?

It’s Fox Noise that has the obsessive mania about the President. Like I said before, indirectly. too bad Fox Noise and the rest of their "drones of doom and gloom" will consume anything FOX NOISE serves up. If you believe everything Fox says you're in too deep and will be incomplete.

President Obama sure told the truth about FOX News: "Fox News is 'destructive' to America"

Just look at all the manufactured unhinged rightwing philosophies FOX propagates. First Glen Beck gives a rally to restore honer. Then turns around and calls the President a Nazi and a Marxist, smears Van Jones, Valerie Jarrett, The First Lady, Michelle Obama, Cass Sustein as well as other members in his administration and suggests the violence will come from the left.
Lady JoAnnaSmith1 you don't see that Fox is rubbish.

Fox has talked about the President, his wife, and beautiful little daughters.

Yes, It a good idea of Jon Stewart to restore sanity.

You righties constantly say you're the desperate ones because you're afraid. Even Newt

You know, I don’t remember any time in American history where we had such a threat to our basic way of life: A genuinely radical, secular socialist machine ramming things through with no regard for American values or the beliefs of the American people; says Newt.

Lol lets see Beverly....

Stephen Colbert testifying about Immigration and now this.

The Democratic party either thinks you are only made up of 18year old potheads or idiots.

Please as much as we hate Bush, when did he or any other sitting President ateempt to "get the vote" via comedians?

Christ this has become a race to stupidity.

Jo Anna:

I agree with you. It is really weird in my book to have a President focus on Fox the way he does!

He needs to stay above that kind of BS and stop blaming others for the problems we face as a nation.

I don't think it helps him one bit to lower himself to that level! I would like to ask a shrink why the leader of the free world has such an obsession!

A news organization following the activities of the President is exactly what they are suppose to do. Fox is the only one doing their job.

Fox's constant infatuation with Obama has been quite disturbing for years...

A news organization following the activities of the President is exactly what they are suppose to do. Fox is the only one doing their job.

Wow.... I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. News is all BS. The daily show and colbert report both show each side of the news, and they make it funny so you can stand all the stupid sh*t they show on the news.

Fox had politicians on whining about how Stephen Colbert wasted time with his testimony to congress... just to follow the story with an update on LINDSAY LOHAN. GOOD GOD!

nice Blog...

Again a nice BLOG. For every news story on Media Matters and tripe blogs, thew News Busters has one. For all its lies and mis-truths why hasn't CNN or ABC,NBC,CBS reported them?

Only MSNBC (which is toast) and Media Matters has reported these untruths. If you Run Chris Matthews and Media Matters you will see where they lied about him and hillary.

Furthermore as President of the United States why would you care?

Hell bush was an idiot and never paid this much attention.

Are you saying that President Bush had a better handle on the office than President Obama?

Beveryly in Chicago,

You didn't just use Van Jones the radical racist in an argument about sanity in this country did you? What a joke.

You need to be voted off the island. Fox news is not nearly as tilted to the right as almost every other media outlet is slam dunk firm to the far left. What a surprise since the media is mostly controlled by you and your left wing counterparts.

You left wing nutjobs are the ones tearing at the heart of America's core values.

All your PC garbage and lend a hand nonsense that's fake. What you idiots don't seem to realize is that once you populate the entire country with illegals and muslims who do you think are the first to have their freedoms stripped completely?

Do you think sharia law is going to afford you liberal nut jobs the type of freedom you enjoy today? No it will not. You freak show left wing nut jobs will be the first ones wearing burkas or having your dopey heads lopped off. Bunch of contrarion morons.

Ah the ole Bill O'Reilly "your audience are pothead slackers" cutdown. Get out the Vote is a slogan used by non partisan organizations like League of Women Voters, Rock the Vote, and Long Distance Voter.

Comedians can help voters register to vote and become involved with issues they care about most just like any other public or private figure. Here is food for thought about one of those "jokes" whose audience consists of "potheads" and/or "idiots".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Stewart

After graduating from the College of William & Mary in 1984, Stewart held numerous jobs. He was a contingency planner for the New Jersey Department of Human Services, contract administrator for City University of New York, puppeteer for children with disabilities, caterer, busboy, shelf stocker at Woolworth's, and bartender at a local blue-collar bar, the Franklin Corner Tavern. During part of this time, Stewart roomed with future congressman Anthony Weiner, who, to date, is the only politician to receive campaign donations from the Daily Show host.

First off who is Bill Oreilly?

Jon Stewart I know from watching Tosh.0 (which is hilarious).

Why would you take any information from a comedian? Even if he has a better resume than the President (apparently jon stewart had real jobs, unlike the President).

Just noticed Greg Giraldo Overdosed, also know he was a left wing guy, should we take his advice?

Listen UP JoAnna - STOP trying to hack my account will ya!

I have more virus protections than you can imagine for the very reason of trolls like U!

Nice post Adidas. Everyone needs to vote and mercilously ridicule their friends who don't. I don't care who you are or what your politics are, there is no excuse not to vote. Even if you can't find it in yourselves to vote major party, there are always 3rd parties and write-ins. No vote is wasted, they all make a statement. VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!

So next week, the cast of "SouthPark" will help the nation straighten out the economy.

Infomania, Tosh.0, The Soup. Ah Green Screen broadcasts. The live audience looks plain silly sitting in front of Toshie and the green backdrop.

Still dont understand why working for a CHURCH (Catholic) based community organization, working as a research associate at the Business International Corporation, writing publications/newsletters, working as an educator, and working for a law firm doesnt constitute as "real" jobs.

What do you say to the young high school student who wishes to become a marine biologist or *GASP* a SOCIAL WORKER?? Tell them to go into business or you will be a loser NOAA Fisheries Hydrologist, a loser Case Manager, or a villanous Elementary School Teacher?

Hey justwonderin

Your post is obviously incorrect. According to South Park resident "wunderkind" Eric Cartman, "We all die in 2012."

Indy Lib; ....yeah your right, but I did hear that Stewy from "Family Guy" will address congress on 4 November 2013,just to see if anyboby's left. ..And Yes, in 2012 , I will vote for a Robin Williams/ Howard Stern ticket ,regardless of party. ( this post makes as much sense as any I've read)........HEY! How about Jeff Dunham with his dummies!......"Uncle Walter" looks just like joey biden!

Fox tells the truth about Obama and his criminal, traitorous associates. This is why Obama is so upset. He cannot stand the light of day like most evil men. This is why he won't produce his official birth certificate or his college records. He has things to hide. Fox brings into focus the truth about the progressives (socialists) and their agenda to fundamentally change America in France on Spain (socialist countries). Thank God for Fox Network.

Greek Prince:

Pretty sick and hate filled screed. But since you seem to have bought it all, there's no use arguing or even reading your spew. Ignore list for you, buddy. Pretty bad knowin' ya.

"Fox news is not nearly as tilted to the right as almost every other media outlet is slam dunk firm to the far left."

LOL What, is it opposite day!? Absolutely, inarguably backwards.

I keep hearing about the "Liberal Media" but when I do some checking, the "Liberal Media" is basically owned by 4 or 5 massive corporations. And I'd never assume to consider Rupert Murdoch or Ted Turner Liberal.

Should we instead be asking ourselves.... what exactly do these mega-corporations stand to gain (other than obscene profits and viewer share) for broadcasting the profane and outrageous?

Wait, I just answered my own question.

We turned our TV OFF for a month as an experiment. We may never turn it back on again.

I am glad that House Democrats could not vote on the Tax Cuts nor the budget, but today they managed to vote on their recess by a slim margin, rather than finish fiscal matters.

Way to go!

Mark, sorry to hear that you have drank the kool aid. I guess I won't get a Christmas card from you this year. LOL

I thank you all. I avoided news source for years and only read newspapers. I watched some MSNBC and thought they were like President Obama said...."Special Bowlers".

Watched Grete Von something and bill oreilly. Not a fan of that jackass, but thank you for pointing out fox.

Enjoy your life leading your dream and earning crap.

A research Student or Professor deserves what they get.

Being a Teacher is absolving your personal demons for not doing what you teach.

Amazes me how many cocktail parties I attend with ASU "educators" because I donate. They continually argue about who is smarter and how the world should be.

I love pointing out how lowly they truly are and their so called eliteness is bullcrap. by the end of the night they hate me.

Funniest thing is my donation is allways cashed in the morning.

After consulting in the corporate world, higher education makes me want to puke.I do not have a Masters nor a Doctorate, but I do have 3 bachelors and retired at 33 :)

I hate to censor anyone, but these 'birthers' should no longer be allowed to present their opinions in any forum.

Obama's constant infatuation with Fox is getting to be quite disturbing.

Funny thing, joanna(agent)smith, I thought Fox was pretty obsessed with president Obama...and nazis, getting people to buy gold so they can get a big kickback, claiming "fair and balanced" while giving the GOP a million bucks, birth certificates, death panels, blah blah blah...

Fox tells the truth about Obama and his criminal, traitorous associates

Hope FOX is using a condom while they 'drive you home'..... at least have a towel handy while you masturbate to Glenn Beck on FOX. You wouldnt want to mess up your TV screen.

M Fisher:

Infatuation is hardly the term I would use that describes President Obama's interest in Fox. Fox is a shameful example of a public media organization. They should be filing returns as a 501(c) special interest group.

Richard Nixon refused a recount in his race with Kennedy, despite evidence that he actually won, because it would have been bad for the nation during the Cold War. The source for this is none other than Chris Matthews=he wrote an excellent book entitled "Kennedy vs. Nixon" This was published before he lost his mind, I might add.

Richard Nixon resigned from office, despite the weakness of the charges against him, because the harm being done to the country outweighed the harm done by a presidential resignation. He cited, again, the dangers of the Cold War.

To equate Obama with Nixon is an insult. Think Caligula, the mad Emperor.

Attacking Fox news and not exactly promoting Comedy Central, but saying it's more sane...

Comedy Central not only has more reliable facts than Fox News, it also happens to be funny. Fox News is only funny in a sort of "Worst movies ever festival" sort of way.

Lordy, you just defended a more idiotic channe than fox.

Well bashing the President to the right is a bliss

Colbert had a message for you

Rightes want to bid immigrants an unfair adieu

Greedy businesses ask Imigrants to come

into America's bosom

Then ask them to leave at the same time

Just because the greedy want to save a dime

You can't see that as wrong

Maybe it's you who has too much in your bong

Hey Bev!

Am I the only one lmfao at the trolls working overtime these days?

Appears our resident 'poll dancer' has found herself some comrade's and is feeling quite at home!

Oh well.. you know what they say about misery lovin themselves some company!

I dare say absolutely not. RMAOFWL. I guess these drones of doom and gloom migrate here to get their bonuses. Anyhow I'm glad our resident 'poll dancer' is much happier here ; now that she's found new friends.

lol only thing funnier than you two posting to each other is that you "VOTED" for yourselves.

LORDY, how lonely can a human be.

That's because Comedy Central actually has MORE real news on it than FOX's does! If Right Wingnut Murdock doesn't approve of it it doesn't get broadcast on FOX and that's the end of that tune!

Paul -

Thank God we have MSNBC to balance out Fox. I'll bet all 14 listeners would agree, don't you think? Are Matthews, Maddow and Ubermann journalists? No, they are commenttors just like Fox has.

funniest part is that comcast has announced MSNBC is toat :)

Paul-977599

It should matter. Faux News is a bastardization of what free speech and journalism are supposed to be about. We need to return to sanity by recognizing the damage done by polarization of the electorate for the sake of making a profit.

How has fox news lied? post something not by Media Matters?

Honestly never watched it, I hate talking heads.

Richard Nixon lost his presidency being a psychotic like this.

Please tell me why you think this okay now?

Fox News doesn't lie, per se. What they do is take a lie (such as "Obama is a Muslim") and adds a question mark at the end. Then they keep asking and asking and asking until the viewers do doubt whether Obama is a Christian or not.

A lie is a lie. I have no idea how many lies Media Matters claims to have found FAUX NEWS spreading, but I am sure I would be hard pressed to know of one that they hadn't already made a point of.

It's interesting that MSNBC is not the counterpart to Fox News, Comedy Central is. At least Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert actually interview conservatives, liberals, heads of state, and real experts in their fields. Fox News only interviews Republicans and usually so that they can make a pitch. MSNBC is not organizing a ralley on the mall because they are a legitimate news organization. Fox News has promoted tea party events and Glenn Beck since Obama was elected.

Please enlighten me. I do not watch myself, but tell me what they lie about? With facts?

I know this website lies, therefore; MSNBC TV lies.

You know, Pau. I normally just ignore you, however. . .

for the benefit of those who are not on the board regularly, let me say that it takes a 9/11 Truther to despise the freedom of the press enshrined in our Constitution.

Fox news is not worshipping at Obama's feet? Good for them. At least one network isn't made up of Obama acolytes.

As for the rest of them. . .

I'd say Obama's actions not an indictment from Fox has more to do with a lot of Americans doubting his religious affiliation and loyalty to this country than anything else.

Paul you are totally wrong. The MSM is is a bastardization of what free speech and journalism are supposed to be about. The lies told by MSNBC/Obama News are blatant and disgusting. Their attacks on Sarah Palin are disgusting. This is why Fox News is the No. 1 in news viewership.

I am a fiscal conservative and can honestly I could give a crap about his birthplace. I Started calling him a liar during his campaign, when he switched points during a debate with Hillary.

Since then it has been continous.

Transparency (nope White House Visitor Logs edited or lost), not a tax(yet in court a tax), Earmarks (omnibus), Tim Geithner telling Dodd to remove the No Wall Street bonuses....

Take Cap and Trade...he is lieing.

The President acts like an Environmentalist and wants Cap and Trade.

Now go look at what market is going to control Cap & Trade...look at who was on the board and owns a large percentage.

One financial Company escaped the wall street fall out. Goldman Sach's. Now go look at their 2007-2009 donations, and who sits on and owns 10% the CCX. Also go look at who received 80% and 98% of AIG's TARPII payments. (not complaining I bought 10k shares of AIG at .39 cents in 2008).

Fox News and Glenn Beck plugged his rally enough. Why would Obama plug someone who called him a racist with a deep seated hatred for white culture?

I was thinking he would favor the spirit of the rally and support his citizens and not the emcee, who stated from the onset that there would be no political talk at the rally... He could have totally shut down Beck. Could you imagine the stupid look on his face if Obama said anything favorable about that rally?

If that's not up his alley, why didn't he acknowledge the Sharpton rally?

I'm just saying that he want out of his way to plug this as the best possible way to make sure his buddies were covered. Stewart is safe... he pokes fun, then hides in his shell when he overextends. He throws up the "what, I'm just a humble comedian" routine when he wants to avoid conflict. That's what Obama's looking for. Obama is also plugging it because the "date of no importance" just happens to come little more than a week before elections and he's hoping for people who don't like his policies to come out in droves and support all his crook Democrat friends.

And Fox news, 1 station, takes so much crap from all the other stations and all of their commentators. Think about that, it takes one station to counter the 5-10 stations of misinformation you get!

Mytjoe, really do you think anyone really believes you that Fox is the only true station? Don't be absurd. MSNBC now, let's see what does MSNBC mean? Do they say they are a NEWS station like Fox does (Fox News Channel)? No. MSNBC is commentary. They have some news on during the day. But News is not Glen Beck or Hannity. Fox is an entertainment channel. It should be called that - Fox entertainment station. Not news. Fox truly sways the truth to their fringe. They call it commentary when they bring up some pointed questions, so they don't have to say it is a lie, but it is interpreted as a truth by the viewers. And even on their News with what's his name Shepard, his innuendos when stating his "truth" and "unbiased" news is very evident to anyone who objects to the rest of the station's agenda. And yes, it is an agenda. It is a big corporation, big oil, big rightwing republican, big money agenda. There is no other station that equals anything close to Fox. You are enticed by its lies and innuendos, they have lured you in with their scary tactics. Turn it off. Think about your true values. Don't be fooled by the soft sell of Glen Beck, his dramatic tears, oh boo hoo, the letters he scrambles to make new words that somehow mean the evil new government, his fake religious stance, or even the barking of Hannity who sounds like a sports commentator, and his talking over anything said that is not Fox-like. Just the fact that Fox opinions fit your value system at this moment in your life does not make it the true news. And Fox saying that it is fair and unbiased does not make it fair and unbiased - because in fact, that is a lie. And others need to POINT that out, that Fox lies. Or there would be no "other side." News should be unbiased. A news channel should have only news on. One hour of news per day does not constitute a news channel. Even their name is misleading... just like them.

Obama IS a racist with a deep seated hatred of White people. He has done more to divide this nation along racial and class lines than any other president. He has been a complete and utter failure both to his progressive supporters and the rest of the country.

The Tea Party are the racists and THEY'RE doing the dividing! In all the videos of their Beck rally I didn't see the first black person in the crowd!

I was in Washington when they held the first tea party rally and let me tell you from first hand experience that was the biggest bunch of wingnuts of ANY persuasion I'd ever seen!! There were more conspiracy theories floating about than the X-Files!

Nora

What are you smoking? There were more blacks at the Glen Beck Restoring Honor Rally that there was at the AL Sharpton rally. Did you see any video of the Restoring Honor Rally that any of the news(?) stations played? They all showed plenty of "African-Americans, Latinos and any other ethencity. This was Not a TEA PARTY Rally. It was for AMERICA! There were all religions there and not one nasty political remark or sign was displayed! The American Flag was held and displayed by everyone! Faith! Hope! Charity! those were the things that were discussed and also above all "GOD!" That why people went! They want America to become "one nation Under God" again! Restoring Honor! Millions were raised for the families of our wounded soldiers!

God Bless America!

Those facts don't fit into Nora'a agenda or with what she and her ilk wants others to believe.

@restorehopeandwhatever (or whoever might have these figures)

I'd really like to see the breakdown of money taken in/put out for that Beck Rally "for America". How much was sister Sarah paid, MLK's niece (or whoever that was), how much was actually sent to his charity and how much your boy Becky put in his own pocket?

Any proof of your statements/pseudo-observations, Nora, or are you repeating what someone else said?

Not once in the above stated crap, do I hear anything but name-calling and hatred. You Faux News defenders need to ask them what their solutions are? The Becks, Hannitys, Limbaughs? What are they good for. And you are so brain-washed that you would vote against your own interests because Obama is black or not a tea-partier? You're jerks.

For the one asking when has Fox lied: This was about a year ago. I was watching the local news that had a clip of Obama where someone was asking him why do you hate Republicans. Obama responded I do not hate Republicans. Then I switched over to Fox who had the same clip but they edited the "NOT". So now Obama supposedly said I do hate Republicans. At that point Hannity asks his crew "Why does Obama hate Republicans".

Now I watch all the news programs - and Fox news was the only one that had edited that clip. Presenting false facts is lying. I could go on but all my notes are at home and I am at work. Yes I keep notes!

I agree that a return to sanity would be a wonderful thing, but the Jon Stewart rally will likely be nothing but a sham.

I think that's exactly what Hillary heard when she was channeling Eleanor the night after she said she had to face gunfire in Bosnia.

Hilarious how the hardcore viners now get to hit the lite weight First Readers.

God Bless election season.

Texas patriot-be kind to Pat. Pat is having a nervous breakdown. It gets worse, daily, when the polls are posted. I do not know what will happen to Pat on November 3. I only hope Pat's family is standing by for intervention.

Pat, I could not have said it better myself. I gave you a thumbs up. These other guys are selfish, greedy, and wanting to crush this country. Stay true.

Have you ever watched Fox News or just qoute what the other news channels tell you what Fox News says?

I watch CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and every other news show. Fox never said any that you give them credit for but through creative editing the other channels paint Fox worse. They might have insinuated some of the list. They might have asked the viewers if they thought what is on you list. But they never said it as a fact.

In fact, if I want news on cable, 75% of the content between 6 and 8 pm EST on Fox is as good and unbiased as any other news at that time I have ever watched. This is including broadcast news from the big 3 when national news was limited to a hour a night, 30 minutes each at 6 and 10. I also will tell you something else. I watch Hannity as much as I watch Olbermann. If you add the two together they might add up as much as I watch Nancy Grace.

There is Kool-Aid on all the channels for the mindless minions to drink up as if it was the last day on earth.

I'm having a nervous breakdown? Really nojoe? And what makes you say that? Oh, wait a minute, I know. Because someone the other day told me to take some pill and of course you just have to repeat what you heard. That is so you - to repeat BS. You can't think for yourself. You repeat garbage all day.

You can't handle the truth can you, of what "your party" has become. Actually you never really cared. But I applaud you. You represent the teabaggers quite well. Ignorant. Hateful. Condescending. Know-nothing.

I repeat what Fox "news" has said. And I get accused of having a nervous breakdown, instead of you questioning your leaders over at Fox. Wake up.

Hi Feisty, how are you? I've been under the gun @ work the last few days. But the week is flying.

I don't care what nj has to say. I have her on "ignore" but since you had mentioned her getting personal, I read what she said.

She's typical of her party. She fits in well as one of their smear mongers.

Don't ever take her ****.

Pat, go to my response to your post below.

We used to have really good conversations. As the mid-terms draw nearer, you are becoming more difficult to read, but I read all your posts, just the same.

You might not have liked what I said, but I was defending you. I don't like to see you attacked.

I would hate to think that I could find no one better to quote than Eleanor Roosevelt, a devout socialist. Your distortions about Fox News are simply talking points that you have heard on NBC/Obama News. Why don't you watch Fox News for yourself and find out what is really happening in this country?

Trust me Pat! She is positively coming unhinged!

Never worry my friend we ALL got your back...

I used to have one iota of respect for her.... NOW she's hit the third rail...

Pat, watch Fox News and then post the distortions that you find. Think for yourself and don't let Madcow and the other MSNBC liberal zealots tell you what to think.

Why not your letting Murdock and the Koch boys think for you Greek!

Thank God for you Pat, Boston... This blog seems to be taken over by the far, far right at night... It's scarey to see this much hatred in print...

You too Fiesty... We've got to keep watchin our backs... Many paid bloggers, I'm sure.

Yes we must be paid because we disagree with you. If you liberals are so darn smart, why not learn how to make a living.

Lord knows I am one of those 2 percenters you hate.

Why are you unable to make the money I did?

What makes you think I don't?

Pat,

You need to get back to watching your hateful, Liberal news because you are getting your news from the wrong sources. The liberal news media is telling you lies again!

Pat,

If I could vote 25 times, I couldn't agree with you more. I just kept scrolling down and down on this post trying to find someone, anyone, with some common decency.

It is sad that the people in this country are so hateful. If they are the vision of the Republican Party, it is quite obvious this country can do without all this hate. It is disgusting.

We are all entitled to our opinion and all entitled to express it. However, absolutely no one has license to attack others like rabid dogs.

There isn't a single person in this country who doesn't want our economy to turn around. What I do find pathetic is that there is so much hate and disrespect here. Not a single one of you can articulate what you feel can be done. All you say is get rid of our President. Well, face facts, WE elected this man to be OUR president. Fact, he is going to be our President until the next election. Fact, you hate mongers are making so much noise, you can't see how the majority of Americans are pretty close to puking every time you and the rest of the haters open your mouths.

You offer nothing positive, useful, sane. Just as the good Senators of the Republican group. All they say is they oppose anything that will do something for the people who trusted enough to put that dwindled down group of haters into office.

We have the opportunity to make a further change come Nov 2. We can eliminate even more of the obstructionists. They were all elected, Democrat, Republican, Independent, to represent us and do what is best for everyone in this country. Their focus is to obstruct anything OUR President tries to do. They are going to sit in Congress for another 2 years waiting for 2012? For the last 22 months, they have obstructed every initiative. They offer no alternative. Their only agenda is to undue everything that has been done.

Try something different instead of running your mouths off. Anyone have anything constructive to offer? Forget 2012. Everyone knows what the Republican party offers, nothing.

It is just sickening. Two years of this crap is way too long.

pat - too bad you didn't post links for your statements, In a court of law they would be dismissed as hearsay.

feisty - I am sure that you are just as good of a pole-dancer as your rival

Watch the Univ of Michigan play football at home, when the overhead shows the folks in the stadium. That is 110,000 people. Beck's rally was estimated at 87,000? Was that the last I heard? (I say no way. They did not have that many, maybe 8,700.) See what 110,000 people in one place look like. Then you can determine an estimate. And a million you know would be ten times that many. The restoring sanity rally is for everyone, not just liberals, you know. Again, "lamestream" commentators do find misstatements, falsehoods, hate talk, and outright lies coming out of Fox, Beck, and Limbaugh. I am glad there is some sanity out there. What would this country be like if Fox was the only choice? If that were the case, you might start seeing rings in middle class noses with the big corporations leading them around like animals. What you all are really saying in your dissing of mainstream media is that you are NOT for their freedom of speech, just yours. Now, really, isn't that what you are saying?

They won't take the Park service's estimate (who have estimated these gatherings for both sides for years) and now they won't take a company that specializes in computer estimates from photo's an video. The last I heard FOX and Beck were bandying figures about at close to half a million being there. That's rich! I'll believe the same folks that did the other survey as being a close estimate of Jon's rally just as I do with Beck's.

Good points, and herding democrats is like herding cats, as most people know.

However, I would easily bet that this campaign to "restore sanity" is going to far surpass the the "restoring honor" movement. Never bet against good comedy.

Well, you all should know, you are being herded by Fox.

Fox was launched in 1996. Liberals countered the same year with MSNBC.

For the record, MSNBC launched July 15, 1996. FOX News lanched October 7, 1996. So, what, we hit back first?

Conservatives launched the Tea Party. The liberals countered with the Coffee Party. Haven't heard much from them.

Maybe it's because the Coffee Party folks aren't whacked out of their freakin' skulls showing up in costume threatening violence against our elected officials?

By the way, I thought the Tea Party was supposed to be a grass-roots organization made up of both Republicans and Democrats who are just fed up. Now you tell us it's all Conservatives? Gee...I'm shocked.

not a Tea Party fan (to far Right) but what violence? I have yet to see any violence on any media.

I do know here in Phoenix we had people attacking cops during the SB1070 stuff and CNN/MSNBC/NBC called those protests peaceful.

I said "threatening violence"...not that there was violence.

Let's see...castrating the President...hanging Senator Patty Murray...

threatening violence? aw man.

Seriously threatening violence? While the liberal protests had violence and arrests?

just how much lunch money did you lose in high school?

Unless you have been a victim of profiling you have little sympathy for those "liberals" who oppose SB1070. If a cop wants to "check you out" they will pull you over for NOT SIGNALING within 100 FEET of a LANE CHANGE.

When taking a left hand turn at an intersection, stay in the left lane do not veer into the right lane.

High School? If a demitrix-era bully tries to shake someone down for their lunch money nowadays they will be expelled and arrested for menacing. A coworker of mine has a 17 year old son that grabbed a girl's boob and now that kid is a registered sex offender.

Its not 1994 anymore in case ya didnt know.

It's actually a 3.8% tax.

It only kicks in if (a) the home is worth $500,000 or more, and (b) you didn't actually live there (e.g. it's an investment property). If you're rich enough to own a half-million dollar house you don't live in, I have trouble feeling sorry for you.

Other kickers are length of owning the house. Our taxes have been raised all year but everyone focuses on Income and non of the other.

Fox has some democrat and liberal contributors like Alan Colmes and Juan Williams, what about MSNBC who do they have on regularly that has an opposing point of view? None that I have seen.

Beveryly in Chicago,

You didn't just use Van Jones the radical racist in an argument about sanity in this country did you? What a joke.

Remember the eyes are the mirror of the soul. I'm not laughing. Racism is not funny. Van Jones wouldn't happen to be a racist to you because he is Black? Van Jones speaks out, and doesn't take no sH!t like our favorite Uncle Tom on the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas or other sold out Blacks on FOX?

How do you photo shop video tape? You are completely gone.

Bri-1732738

Please post a url to any racist Tea Party sign which is racist and not photoshopped then explain to me why the liberal that has a prize to pay for the first tea party racist sign still hasn't paid the prize.

I'm glad you asked. Here you go; astound yourself;especially if you scroll to page 2.

I'm really offended with the sign that says there is a monkey in the zoo and one in the WH. the word monkey in reference to AA historically takes on the connotation of racist terms like coon. The President is not a monkey, witch doctor, pimp, nor is he minstrel.

The worst is that dude who spelled the "N" word incorrectly. You just can't make that out to be photoshopped or a lie. He admitted he did it after being caught and was kicked out. Ahhhh, but there are so many more to go. You can't have liberals complaining.

Tea Party Taking The Next Step

“We are setting the tone for taking back America with Liberty Concerts. We are not waiting until the first quarter of the year, we have already begun.” Dale Robertson, President and Founder of the Tea Party – TeaParty.org

‘Liberty Concerts’ is a venue designed to be the key to create a model for our Nation to Take Back America. The Tea Party does not intend to waste their time simply rallying. The Plan is to optimize the events, they will be fun and Citizens will be asked to run for office, with the focus of Restoring America, and thus, putting it on the Conservative track.

The goal is to shift attendees from being merely a presence at a rally, into involved Patriots recognizing the need to be engaged in the process of Self-Governance.

The Tea Party is gearing up for action. Robertson has a developing strategy to bring the Republic back under the control of ‘We The People.’ He is asking for thousands of Patriots across America, to run for office.

Robertson stated: “Even though the likelihood of their success is diminished by the lack of experience or financial support; the knowledge will be invaluable for the next election cycle and a point of pride for the American People.”

The Tea Party’s number one imperative, is to have candidates on the ballot. The second priority is to get out the vote, especially in Texas where Robertson lives and the home of over 800,000 members of the Tea Party……….

Robertson is molding the Tea Party events to empower Citizens so they will make a difference in the November 2010 elections. The ongoing tactics are to prioritize States, creating a durable model for ballot access, voter eligibility, precinct chair/county chairs, and candidate awareness. The Tea Party is actively seeking candidates that represent Conservative Constitutional Values. It appears the Major Parties can’t get in step with such a complex idea as Conservative Constitutional Values; therefore, the Tea Party will make it easy for the Independent Parties to break the glass ceiling and get on the ballot.

The ‘Liberty Concerts’ event taking place in Stafford, Texas is a developing prototype, which when successful, will allow the Tea Party to create a thriving event not in months but days. We will be quick on the draw, sure fired and ready to rock in a matter of only a few days. This Tea Party formula will work against incredible odds and will be nothing short of a miracle, but Robertson believes with all his heart all the pieces will fall into place.

Does the Tea Party really believe it can make a difference in November? “Some say, “talk is cheap” but 2 years ago when I started the modern day Tea Party no one believed it could work now 7 million strong, the world is listening and America is hoping, we will not fail.” Dale Robertson – TeaParty.org

http://washingtonindependent.com/73036/n-word-sign-dogs-would-be-tea-party-leader

They are also voter caging in Texas, that means the plan to knock minorites off the ballot like Katrine Harris did in Florida.

Houston, we have problem don't you think, Bri-1732738?

They're going where the money is first Diana! The tea party are made up mostly of upper middle class religious conservatives who have made good mostly and the tea party movement are scaring them with all the socialist rhetoric into trying to turn our country into a virtual theocracy.

I'm a moderate and I would gladly vote for a moderate candidate, even a republican one who represented most of the central American people but NOT the right wing fringe that are trying to make a power grab!

Well said Diana. I have to say that I am truly happy that there are young people out there who take the current situation seriously.

I sincerely hope that you and the other young people will get out and vote. You are our future.

We have entered the 21st Century and the world has changed so much and so fast. Our Congress is made up of old, narrow minded men. They fear change because they know they can not relate.

I am well over 50 and they are even too stuck for me. It is time for the younger generation to step up. President Obama is definitely the best person to lead this march into the new century. I know I will always support the President and believe in his vision. You and the others will ensure his vision doesn't fail.

There isn't much time till Nov 2. Get the word out.

And here is the old Pat, my friend, back again.I travel extensively in Europe-sadly, when wait staff, or hotel staff, spend a few minutes with my husband and me, they ask if we are 'North Americans". That is a compliment across the pond-as opposed to Americans.

They are unused to Americans with manners.

It's sad, really. "Please", "thank you", "excuse me", seem to be lacking in most of our citizens.

I'll tell you a funny story: my husband speaks fluent German-I do not. About ten years ago, we were in Germany, and he 'taught'me what to say to shopkeepers while he was on business. That evening, he asked me how I had done, and I told him, splendidly; although the village we were in did not boast many English speakers, I had made myself understood easily.

Then, he asked me what I had said to start the conversation.

"Bitte Shoen, ich sprechen zie nicht Doech-sprechen zie Englese?" I responded. My husband fell down laughing-tears streaming down his face. What you said, he told me, was "You're welcome. You and I don't speak German, do you speak English".

I guess it was the 'you're welcome' that made people so friendly to someone who so obviously did not speak German.

Wait...didn't you get caught yesterday NJ quoting an email that simply wasn't true? Did you ever own up to that, or are you pretending that it didn't happen? Now, I realize that you like to pretend that you are the only person who has ever done anything, but having frequented Europe myself, and having children that are there frequently, family still in Ireland, and a daughter who lived in both Ireland and Italy, I can safely say that you are not the ONLY person in the world that has ever said "please" or "thank you" in a foreign country. And, of course, there are those of us who are familiar with Germany who know that there are plenty of shopkeepers who speak English, and who probably laughed at your pretend German. Really, NJ, I do understand that you have to boost your esteem with these kinds of pretenses, but honestly, sweetie, you bore the life out of me. You owe both Pat and Paul and apology, and one who brags of manners the way that you do will recognize the truth of that.

um, newday? I don't quote e-mails. Why? Because I don't trust the source.

so, actually, I have no idea what the heck you are talking about.

I told a joke on myself-it is called 'self-deprecating humor', and is a sign of maturity.

I don't expect you to understand, so I will not wait for an apology.

Odd thing NJ, most people know that if you have to explain that you are being funny, you aren't. Do you not know that?

Ah yes, I checked. The Proctor and Gamble CEO forward that you were trying to pass off as another company leaving the United States due to President Obama. What about that NJ?

Gee, where did NJ go? Isn't funny how every time that gets brought up, she disappears?

Well done newdayDAWNING!

NoJo is another one of those intellectual cowards, throwing disinfromation bombs and then running for cover when confronted with facts.

Yes. I'm a 9/11 Truther, and I am damned proud to be one of the people willing to question my government and demand answers.

NDD: Our dear 'friend' with the wrist injury, has been playing a whole lot of cut & run & playing dumb of late...

Paul-977599 -
"Yes. I'm a 9/11 Truther, and I am damned proud to be one of the people willing to question my government and demand answers."

But only when it's Bush, huh? Did you want answers when it came out that Obama was friends with Cop killer Bill Ayers and the meetings they attended together? What he was listening to in Rev Wright's church? His appointments of several questionable friends to various made up posts and Czars? Are you a birther? Do you question ALL presidents allegiances or just Bush because the media told you to?

Hey, Mark? Obama may be 'trying'-but, in the real world, outside of school, that is not enough.

You have to succeed.

It is for that very reason that I always say that he is out of his element. He needs to go back to academia-where trying is enough.

You make a good point.

He's the President. He will be for another 2 years. If the majority of the people don't like his leadership, he won't be the president anymore.

If he were successful, would you be really disappointed with that? Just because you didn't agree with the policies?

He's a person, just like everyone else. I hope he has learned something from his mistakes. Perhaps he'll have some better ideas. There really isn't a president school you can attend. Unfortunately, it's on the job training. I thought GWB was completely incompetent. Very unpresidential.

I'm sure trying isn't enough if you're a constitutional law professor at University of Chicago either.

Hey Mark.. come around here more often will ya?

Drives the right wing drones bat sh!t crazy!

I'm a teacher! I don't have time!

Mark, since you are so smart, who is going to win the November elections? The superior libs or the dumb right wing tea party idiots? My friend, you and the rest of you libs out there are in for a beating. Get ready.

Mark, if your definition of success is that the economy is growing, the unemployment rate is shrinking, and international threats are contained, then, yes, I'd be grateful that Obama is succeeding.

He is not. His attitude about how to achieve the above success was doomed to fail.

I did not vote for Bill Clinton first time out-I thought that we were on the verge of lasting peace in the Middle East, thanks to GHWBush's leadership, and did not want to rock the boat. Thanks to that nut from Texas, that opportunity was lost.

I did not vote for Bob Dole, nor did I vote for the nut from Texas, the next time out-I went for Clinton, who showed that he could learn on the job. For six years, he was a darned good president. You can ask Fiesty, and Bev, or any of the regular "left" posters on the board about my feelings about bringing up politician's personal lives-suffice to say, I don't want to know, and I wish that the press would not feel compelled to tell me about it. And, no, I don't buy the line that "if he/she lies to his/her spouse, he will lie to me"-we have a different relationship. I keep reminding people that JFK was not, exactly, a monk. Nor was FDR. I do not care.

I don't think Obama is capable of learning on the job-so far, he has shown absolutely no propensity for it.

I hope I am wrong. There is a lot at stake. A nuclear Iran changes everything. Everything. And, Obama's self evaluation notwithstanding, Iran is not impressed.

Amen, Mark Grey. I hope my kids have teachers like you someday.

Prince,

Just because the conservatives are going to win a few seats doesn't make them right. Their platforms are just more popular.

I am disappointed at the liberal performance too. Both sides are too involved in posturing instead of actual problem solving.

My opinions on politics are sometimes so complicated that I can't articulate them well myself. (My opinion on Fox News is pretty strong and easy to understand though.) I'll really not the die hard liberal you might think. MSNBC has it's own troubles too.

However, when investors and big earners are given more of the resources, it doesn't create economic growth. I think GWB proved that. We don't actually make anything in America anymore. Labor is too expensive. But if someone were going to work in manufacturing, you'd have to make a living. It should pay enough to raise a family and have insurance...

My Dad claims that most talk of money on a national scale is mostly fictional. There is always funding for things those in power want. I don't think the conservatives were concerned at all with the deficit when they were in power. They literally wasted trillions in Iraq. All the unfinished project they left is really terrible. They just don't want spending on social programs.

After all these years, it just comes down to guns and butter...Unfortunately, I don't think the return for starting wars is very good, and I don't think big social programs are effective either.

I wondered what the benefit would be if the Federal Government just gave 10% right back to the communities. Not even States, but cities, townships and local municipalities. My small town can't afford a badly needed traffic light. One plane can cost A Billion Dollars. See what I mean about fictional money?

It just doesn't seem right. If we had some of that money right here, now, I think things would be better for many people.

As I look around the room I'm in, I think that most of this stuff wasn't made in America.

Rome didn't last forever either...

Mark, I'm assuming you're young. I felt the way that you did when Jimmy Carter gave his 'national malaise' speech. Yes, I know, he never said those words. The meaning was clear, though. I turned to my husband after he said something to the effect that 'the best days are behind us, but America is still America, and we will be together through the bad days to come" (not a quote, but a summation)-and said, "that's it? We don't get a chance?"

It bears remembering, Mark, that Obama never MADE professor at U of C-despite getting three bites at the apple-two more than every other candidate. He would not do the work necessary. Publish or perish-he would not publish-never wrote the book on race relations he was supposed to write. Five years late "Dreams of my Father" was written; NOT a book on race relations, but a book on himself.

That should tell you a lot.

No Jo,

GHWB was a much more capable leader that his son. I always wonder if he stayed out of things because he was embarrassed. I read that there is a kind of code that all the former presidents have. Even though you belong to a party, you are supposed to govern like a true leader, who respects and represents the real and important needs of everyone.

I'm going to have to agree with your assessment of Obama too. I hope he gets some things right. We're waiting.

I mentioned in my post to Greek that I'm not the great liberal either. We are presently trying out the idea that schools need lots of testing (instead of teaching) and many regulations. We may just be a front for the logging/paper industry. It isn't working too well.

You are also correct in mentioning that the road ahead is really tough. God help us all.

Mark

Mark, I'm happy that my assessment of you, from reading your posts, was right. It's great to have a reasonable person on board.

I'm a former teacher myself. I left the classroom when I had earned enough to continue my education-went back for a master's and PhD in economics-but I loved teaching.

I loved the kids, that is. The parents? yes, some. The administators? few. My fellow teachers? Not so many. The union? NOT AT ALL.

The restrictions they put on me and the time I had to spend with my kids, was ridiculous. God bless you for being motivated to go on despite them. Two hundred and ten minutes of 'face time'-three and a half hours out of a six hour day, which included lunch and recess duty-was not what I signed up for when I became a teacher. I wanted to teach, and the union precluded me. I got to teach two hours a day-the rest of the time I spent in endless, useless meetings and 'planning sessions'. I only hope your experience is better than mine.

Don't lose your enthusiasm. Remember, if we don't motivate them, they don't get motivated. Don't lose your edge-innovate. If you're bored, the kids are bored-so change things up.

Stay involved, and stay on the board when you can. You have a voice. A welcome one.

Emma, who the heck cares what new lies Obama is spewing? Not me. I turn the station when he comes on. I find him to be disgusting and revolting.

Greek Prince,

I owe you a drink. Truer word where never spoken! I don't care which party he is from, even if he was a Repub, I would say the same. The man is a total disgrace to this great country.

But I doubt that you would have changed the channel from FOX when GWB was spewing his crap and blowing our economy to bits!

Well said. I think we are done here.

Spot on Eric.

EricSimon, you are right. We are mad as hell and are not going to take your progressive BS any more. This administration hasbankrupted the country and attempted to turn the country to socialism. They have embarrassed themselves and the nation by bowing to foreign leaders. They have apologized for the success of the country in fighting tyranny around the world. They have coddled Islam and aided terrorists through their words and actions. They have done everything they could to destroy the economy and control every aspect of our lives. That is why we are mad as hell.

Oh Socialism,Socialism,Socialism, your wearing that one thin Greek! It's no more socialism than the tea party are fascists, or at least I HOPE they're not that far gone yet!

Nora, I agree. When you look at the policies of this administration they would be objectively classified as centrist. Certainly not socialist. Obama is a clear pragmatist that strives (sometimes to his demise) to make progress on a huge range of structural issues existant in this society. Many of these issues have nothing to do with a socialist/progressive agenda. He's doing this in a tattered economy that he had nothing to do with creating. The 'bankrupting' of this country has very little to do with him. It comes from long history of not aligning revenues to expenses; funding wars on credit, poorly timed tax cuts, lack of financial system oversight.

Poorly timed tax cuts ?? what are you nuts ??

Think of this , If state, Local & Federal goverments were taking about 50% less than their taking now out of everyone's pockets people might could afford a few more thing that might give them and their familes a better life.

Better life ??

Just maybe if they were taking less in taxes 20% of familes where both Husband & wife work would have a new option that they don't have now.

What option ??

Maybe the wife or husband could stay home and raise the kid's .

Why ??

Why not, the kids would be the winners their with a parent to take them to school , pick them up , work on home work... You Know... like it use to be...

Like it use to be ??

Yes, before we all were paying 50% of everything we make in taxes to State, Local, & federal .. and let's not forget all the fee's these days...

Fee's.. ??

Like paying for trash bags & dump stickers, drivers licence fee's thast keep on going up & up. and so on..

Could it work ???

Why not................................

How ??????????????????????

TEA PARTY !!

Vote people into office who understand what we all want and if washington changes them , vote them out next time around.

Who do we vote for ????????

Vote for the ones who want to down size goverment and take less of our money.

We all know goverment could run better and cost less.

Get it done and get out and vote with us....

Vote for who ???

Democrate or Republican ???

I really don't care who you vote for, just make sure they understand what we want and what we demand.

What if they say they understand , get into office and change their ways ???

Then we'll vote them out next time around, won't we.

Amen brother. They're all comedians. But with Stewart and Colbert you can actually have a laugh instead of getting your blood boiling (over nothing).
