“It's not just one man. He's doing what they want him to do. If Obama is as weak as you imply, being run by Lieberman, he doesn't deserve to be president.”

“Media is this woman's forte. This is where I hope she stays and that she gets out of politics. This is certainly more lucrative for her. Maybe that will be her draw to stay (and leave us all alone).”

“Are you insinuating that O isn't a media pig? The man has done more in the spotlight than any other prez in their first 11 months.

Just admit you are scared of her in 12. The dems are losing the moderates ~ the same ones that got O elected, are the same ones that are not happy with his wild spending.”

“Every once in a while HP puts the most absurd titles to articles on your home page ... "War President". Give me a break. This man , THIS MAN, is one of the very few who opposed going into Iraq. This man has made great strides in working toward a nuke free world. This man has stopped violating international treaties by stopping torture. There is probably very few politicians who exceed his intent to end conflict around the world and support humanitarian efforts. The media loves to make headlines but didn't have the "stones" to challenge Bush & Cheney with the knowing, willful, and intentional misleading of the American citizens in the real agendas in all endeavors that involved armed conflict & occupation of Iraq and negligent occupation of Afghanistan. It was all about oil & profits for military contractors. SO .... don't call our President a war President when he understands that the real threat are the WMD in Pakistan. If we leave that area now without stabilizing it ... then what would you call this President?”

“Think it is time for the rest of the Dems to take a lesson from Congressman Grayson. Mr. Grayson says nothing that is not true. He is not histrionic. He speaks directly at those who have been spitting in the face of our elected President. The Dems need to fight back with intellect. truth, and continual repetition of the positive efforts being made for the country. We finally have a President that is truly interested in the well being of the the American people and the GOP have positioned themselves toward turning this country into some kind of feudal territory of the global mega wealthy.”

“I am totally with you. The GOP has become the enemy of everything good this country has ever stood for and will drag down anyone trying to make a positive change in our society. Their tools: ignorant supporters - a baying pack of armed hounds bent on intimidation and threats of violence.”

“There is no surprise here. The GOP vowed after the election to oppose and obstruct every effort put forth by the Democratic Party and the Obama Administration. That is exactly what they have done. Don't know how they continue to hold office as they are not governing. They are not working for the people of their states. It even seems to me to be criminally negligent to not work to get health care for Americans who need it when the alternative is possibly death.”

“As an animal lover am passing this on. Just went on U-Tube after searching for Jon Stewart Global Warming and U-Tube came up with the title of a video as "Jon Stewart Jokes About Global Warming". But, that is not the video that played. It was "China's Shocking Dog and Cat Fur Trade". This is probably one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. We all need to be aware of it and pass the word not to support the trade that allows/participates in this attrocity.”

“Just made a service call. First, you listen to about 10 minutes of automation and they tell you it will be about 20 minutes until everything resets. So, when you call back in 30 minutes because it didn't resolve the problem, again automation until finally a human comes on & attempts to fix the problem then tells you it happens sometimes when the signal is intermittently interupted. When there is no reception then I ask OK then what? Well you will have to make an appt. for service. & is exactly as stated... can't get to you for a couple of days but will be there between a two hour interval.
The service call wasn't offered until pressed & nothing mentioned about a reduced service rate for the month as a result of no access.”

“Just take a look at the Faux News Network & everything controlled by RM, then tell us it doesn't matter. When those who own & control the networks look the other way & permit hate mongering & trolling for those to do harm against our government, then monopolies and deregulation of US communications has to be revisited and regulations replaced. Truth & accuracy used to be levels to aspire to.... Not anymore. It has been replaced with a mindset of "let's see how far we can push it!"”

“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.”

He may be a disgrace to his network, and Fox, by standing by him and his absurd statements will sooner than later become a disgrace. They are a disgrace.

But that disgrace you mention to America? No.
We should be proud of our recent recovery, of the party that is working in a deliberate way to regain a sense of fairness, of democracy and yes, of world leadership. We want the world afraid of us, but not of our bombs, but rathe ror our dynamism and intelligence.

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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fox blatently lies so much of the time that when they are (accidently) relatively honest it's almost irrelevant. And they even lie about really stupid little piddling things. It's just weird.

I mean what's with repeatedly pretending (lying) that Mark Foley, Mark Sanford and John Ensign are all Democrats? Do they believe that thinking or saying something often enough will make it true. Do they have so little respect for their audience that they think they will believe anything if they hear it on Fox.. These weasels are really nothing more than juvenile delinquents.”
