“All environmental issues are critical. Still haven't heard the cry go out to stop countries like Brazil, some African areas, the US northwest coast, etc. that are destroying the forests, to STOP ! These forests maintian the earth's moisture and are the breath of life for this planet along with the living oceans. Greed and short sightedness are turning this planet into a dessert.”

“How about a different focus ... really tired of people's problems. That is not a criticism of Oprah. She is wonderful at her focus issues, but now all those who have tried to copy her have shows doing these things. How about Harrry Connick, Jr. as a host with a focus on current issues with guest appearances by "experts" and with a talent aspect of the show, a little music (not rock but what Harry does, YoYo Ma etc., ... a little more sophisticated tone), good book discussions, etc., & what's happening in the arts. Let's get something different with some innovation that appeals to 30's up that isn't only about families. There is a whole population out here that has opted to live without children and have interests beyond the home. Let's reward those with a broader scope and give opportunities for others to grow in their interests by providing something different that may, in fact, appeal to them.”

“If this is how you define a "true patriot", we are all really in trouble.”

“Still think this woman is mentally ill.”

“Anyone viewing the melting of the glaciers and rise in water levels along the coast knows that global warming is NOT a scam. That said, it is time everyone begins to approach our behavior with common sense and care when it comes to the impact on our environment. Remember back in the early 70's when alot of these issues came to a head...ene­rgy shortages, clean water, over population, clean atmosphere & impact to the ozone layer. Then, all efforts to affect change came to a halt. Environmentalists were labeled as fanatics by those who were afraid it would impact a "bottom line" and the term (environment) became a "dirty" word to the extent that it is hardly used any more. Do not like those who are politicizi­ng/commerc­ializing "global warming" to the end that it will again create polarization on the issue and our planet and lives will pay for the irresponsibility of those who can't get past their pocket books and look for a new and responsible way to manufacture, create energy, and live responsibly. All new approaches will also create jobs and income, so let's get moving in a new direction and get out of our bad policy ruts.”

“Lintball, Wallace & the entire network are a disgrace to this country & everything we stand for.”

“Not gay but can not, for the life of me, figure out how one American can sit back and deny another American the right to live peacefully with the partner of their choice.

This is America ... We need to believe in equality for everyone & practice it.”

“Really enjoying this. Accident or not ... good going Gov. Think the legislature can always use a good swift kick in their complacency from time to time. Please, feel free to address correspondence to the US Congress.”

“CNN has become so petty & focusing on non-issues. It is almost embarassing to watch them anymore as they have become so uninformed on the news. Always switch back to MSNBC.

Hope MSNBC continues to rerun the early shows later in the evening. Watch them over & over to catch things I may have missed or want to listen more carefully to. Would like if they would rerun the weeks evening programs over the weekend in lieu of those awful crime programs.”

“What's the matter with people these days?”

“Just another politician that works for the big companies and does not represent his constituency.

This health care shouldn't be this difficult. It boils down to relgulating the insurance industry, tort reform, open the market up across state lines, and a good / solid public option through expansion of medicare. The opt out option is a built to fail gimmick to provide further special interest leverage. You don't think these insurance companies will pull out all of the stops to influence politicians with big contributions to kill the public option in the states? Come on. This stinks.”

“It is shameful what Polanski did. It was also illegal. He admitted committing illegal acts, then he ran. In our system of justice ... he is a criminal, so he is now paying his debt for committing those crimes.”

“Don't have a problem with entities within the Faux Network offering opinions. Do have a problem with them respresenting false/inaccurate information & intentional misrepresentation of facts as news. For people who don't have the time to check out the reports they hear, they take it as truth. It makes people angry & upset when there is probably nothing to get upset about. It creates hostility within the population and that is dangerous. Having issues with policies within government is not a problem & that is what our whole system is about. This hateful propaganda is something from a place I don't want to be associated with as a citizen of the United States.”

“Mr. C has alot of gall accusing another of "dithering" in Afghanistan when that is precisely what his Admin did from the time they got there. McCain made a slip at one of his town halls during the campaign stating, "I promise we will never again go to war over oil." (The media really gave him a pass on that one.) It was clear from the beginning of both of these occupations, that the 43rd Admin went in for advancement of their economic agenda and passed it off as protecting this country. How many of our military, civilians, and local citizens lost their lives over their bad judgement and dithering?”

“Congrats ... Love to see vision and action .... provided there IS a good plan and it isn't just another way to get money without a specific designation for the intended project.”

“Think it is outrageous that this man thinks he has any credibility as it relates to military action. The expertise this man has is how to misrepresent issues in order to create an environment where he & his cronies make millions off the lives of our military and peoples of other countries.”

“Pretty good. Great idea. Was also hoping someone takens P's book and debunks it. Have never seen anyone misrepresent issues and fail to acknowlege her own mistakes to the degree she actually appears to believe everything she says. It actually made me wonder if she was mentally balanced. Authors ... keep up the great work. Make that "good authors".”

“"On air talent" .... Not how I view it. Don't think anyone is too surprised at this. Dobbs would fit right in and that is not a compliment. Wish the cable companies would drop this entire network.”

“Great post, Mr. Moore. Have been very impressed with your tone when discussing our nation's issues and really appreciate the effort & research you have done. Agree entirely that we all should support our President and keep taking action to maintain the Democratic Congress. Also, we need to make sure that the voters get out in force for the two governor races, VA & NJ. Sometimes we get complacent between national elections and we can no longer do that. Keep up the good work with motivation and appearances / posts. They continue to rally good Americans to action.”

“Very accurate perspective.”

“Am very disappointed in Americans who feel that our President does not deserve this honor. Some have indicated that the nomination, which came within two weeks of his inauguration, was too soon & that "he hasn't accomplished anything yet." Well, let's acknowlege that this is a "peace prize". This man, an African American, worked and successfully won an election to our nation's highest office in a country with biases that go back a century and a half. He did this by bringing Americans together inspiring hope, a vision for peace and foreign policy through statesmanship, respect for other countries, and a promise to continue to work for the reduction of nuclear weapon proliferation. Internationally he has already inspired more confidence in his vision for world peace and methods to achieve it than the previous Administration that promoted intimidation and threat of military occupation. Quite possibly those who selected our President for this honor feel that President Obama has already succeeded in dialing back the international violence threat level simply by his foreign policy, world vision and ability and incentive to convey it. Congratulations Mr. President !!!”

“And let's not forget just what percentage of this state has been on fire the last few years.”

“"Anti- American" photos. People who do not acknowlege this man as a product of the United States of America and our democracy, as he was elected by a majority of US citizens, then the creators of this dispicable movement are anti-American.”

“Maybe it is time to acknowlege that the GOP has one goal in mind, bringing down the US government to be replaced by this MexAmeriCanada view they have of turning us into a third world entity with only a few of the mega wealthy running everything. It is the only thing that seems to account for their hatred of this country and what they are doing to achieve this end. Unfortunately their are a number of those in the general public who still think think this party has some integrity and are thinking only of those Repubs from the past who seemed to have dignity and a desire for the country to do well beyond their greedy / wealthy constituents.”

“How can Americans not be happy that our President was selected for this honor? For those who have denounced this by saying, "What has he done?" Well, I would say he has changed the whole tone of foreign policy substituting statesmanship and respect for the former saber rattling bullies, who felt entitled to run "ruffshod" over any country they felt like to line the pockets of the wealthy including those holding office. I would say the President has done quite alot, and that is just naming one thing including all of the efforts he has put forth to save this country and the world from economic depression.”
