    ****First, immigration will truly never be tackled in this country due to the amount of profits corporations make due to paying someone less, here is the failure of capitalism. I support capitalism but it fails when a gov't allows big business to 'run the show.'

    Second, the GOP has failed in getting a person to run for President who 'the people' can relate to, especially this coming November.

    I ask myself this one question, whose the person running that I could sit down, have a beer, just talk with and relate to? Romney made over $200 million this past year, the only thought of discussion would be investments. I can't relate to this guy at all~

      Once again I have to say how much I admire Andrea Mitchell as a reporter.

      She balances the sources that she has on her show. And not in a left/right balance,but in an angle on options type balance.

      She has been covering the Iranian issue. Today she had Karim Sadjadpour from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. She has had the Washington Institute on.

      I like the way Mr.Sadjadpour said that the Istanbul meeting was like a preliminary consultation to schedule a very complicated surgery. It is like we are asking the Iranian's to undergo a complete hysterectomy. Interesting analogy.
