Hatred and racism are very dark and ugly emotions. These people are not well. Just ignore them.

How do we hold wall street accountable? NO matter what Obama & his team tires to do the bankers always find a way to evade it.

as stated by http://financeopinionss.blogspot.com it is time to create economic growth that we can all benefit from; not the top 1% of earners. An equitable economy is a better one.

Did anyone read the comments on the Daily Finance site? Blatant racism, unchecked by AOL or anyone else apparently.

I just looked here to see if anyone else noticed. Disturbing.

I know that hiding behind a computer can embolden some people... but there is something so wrong with a human being who has that kind of hate (coupled with lunacy) in them. I can't understand it. This is a troubled world...

Because nothing else they are doing for this country is very impressive.

Love their all American style!!! Best dressed first family since the Kennedys in that long ago era. Mrs. Kennedy was more partial to European designers where Mrs. Obama is all American in her dress and attitude. Gorgeous family!!

Michelle is way more youthful, energetic, relaxed and joyful than Jackie or any other FLOTUS in my lifetime. I also liked Betty Ford's honesty.
