“Good looking and maybe as good as the President at basketball ............ about as relevant criteria wise as S. Palin ready for the job because she is scoring big time with a tell all book. I believe Obama actually wrote his books however.

Time to get serious folks. A pretty face does not a leader make.”

“Cheers for Senator Boxer's chutzpah !!”

“I am increasingly aware that Chris Matthews is more about loving the sound of his own voice rather than contributing substantially to the political dialogue.

This dialogue is just another topic on his "look at ME" list.

He asks questions and then answers them ...... badgering his interviewee to agree with his 'right" answer. "You don't have to agree with me I know I'm right"

His discussion with David Plouffe was a clear example. He, Matthews, states that the administration's focus is political. Plouffe said that the President is focused on what needs to be done now for the country. Matthews continued to harass because Plouffe would not confirm his opinion. Matthews concluded that he was right, its all about politics and that Plouffe was mad at him.

His constant ginning up of Palin as the sparkling candidate for 2012 is just him having fun and campaigning for more exciting sensational press, not that he really believes that she is the best future leader of the free world.

He is not a credible journalist. He wants to be the new Rush.

I have turned him off.”

“here you go!

Oh well, Don't know how to add the photo.Great idea!”

“I am an Axe fan!”

“Not real. !!

blowups are different photos from the Barney Frank photo reference. if you are going to write silly stuff like this, at least get the imagery right so there is some assemblance of truth here.

I just wanted to see his ring.up close. Who cares where it came from!!”

“The reason Rachel Maddow understands that she is not Senate material is because extremely smart people often do not have patience for lengthy debate with those less gifted. They already have mentally sped ahead to the clear answer.

The reason also that B.O. was not destined for a long Senate career.

I know from whence I speak having married MENSA members. (Yes I was not smart enough to learn from the first mistake)”

“That wasn't funny and his "Obama" is so lame that SNL should look for someone more convincing. This character for another 7.25 years or even another 3.25 will be a turn off (of the TV)”

“So my question is, why is this and other forms of dishonesty not challenged - in the press or in Congress?

Couldn't Senator Cornyn be forced to cite sources in the proposed bills, for each and every assertion in this survey and in his (outrageous) letter? If he doesn't or won't then he should be forced to apologize on the Senate floor for his (their) chicanery.

I noticed that "insurance" is mentioned only once in each document. The survey asks if the responder thinks that their biggest worry is that "the cost of medical insurance is too high".

In the letter he asks - among other things " ....... should the federal government have the power to:

* Seriously undermine private health care insurers who currently serve tens of millions of Americans?

I personally think that this last issue is the point and purpose of their whole negative campaign - that and causing damage to the Obama administration.”

“On the other hand, if President Obama had spoken with Chris Wallace - Fox Speak will (or would have) used what ever the President said to fuel their continuing right wing vitriol BUT perhaps some - a few of those who take in a daily dose of Fox might have listened with an open mind and added his measured reason to the mix of information by which they judge this health reform effort.

How could that be bad?”

“Screaming insults- walking out how about the clear rudeness of cantor texting on his blackberry during the speech.

All of these activities if done during high school would warrant a trip to the principals office. Where are the grownups on the conservative side of the aisle?”

“So have we collectively forgotten how devastating it was to everyone to have a President shot, his brother shot, other heroes gone Martin, Malcolm and even pop-heroes - Lennon.

The guns at these rallies have only one purpose and that is to intimidate and raise the vitriol level up another notch. Why do their "rights" supersede those of all the other people there to engage in patriotic discourse. Peaceful people who come to help solves problems before us but talking and debating - calmly, rationally toward a common goal of bettering the life of all Americans. Yelling, screaming and yes intimidation with guns stops debate.

Maybe all we need bring for these guys to demonstrate their manhood is a ruler. Measure it and get over it.”

“Oh he understands full well how the system "works".

He ran and won the Presidency to CHANGE how Congress so called works. And, he is doing it in a measured thoughtful and sustainable way. The fringe Republicans need to grow up and get engaged instead of promoting bullyism at the forums where people are gathered to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/05/grassley-obama-too-inexpe_n_251738.html#ssml#ss their government.”

“I met Mr. Leroy & his designer years ago when I was asked to help solve some lighting problems. He was passionate then about the restaurant and I know it continued. It wasn't just the business it was the institution that he built.

It should continue in the LeRoy tradition and family. What can be done?”

“This woman could use some "re-education" herself. Her rants are slanderous, false and border on being unAmerican, although I hate to use that term because it sounds like McCarthyism

In simpler terms she should really "put a sock in it" She is not doing herself, her state or her party any good at all with these nonsensical messages!”

“Do all of these nominee problems highlight the fact that our tax code is WAY too complicated with many many loop holes.

I don't believe that all of these people are blatant tax dodgers//”

“There is a huge difference between mocking Bush as Apish in his leadership style and portraying anyone, including our new President as an ape who has been SHOT DEAD. How stupid are you JRRR. I did see the Bush Monkey jokes. Never saw any suggesting a violent death to him .”

“Why does anyone care. Its a 6 figure do dad”

“Pathetic!

Stick a pin in the guy he seems way over inflated.”

“Have you read any of her books or been aware of what she has done with her "fame" where in that has she ever appeared vindictive.”

“Sounds like we have our own Sarah Palin.

The Governor (and the press) handled this very badly.

Caroline Kennedy did not deserve the slamming that she got. She has lead a great, intellectual, life of service and the law. She would have been great. That fact that she stepped up for Obama after 50 years of working behind the scenes tells me that her heart was in it.”

“Give it a rest. Do we all understand now why she has worked outside the limelight?”

“This woman needs to get over it. Get a life. Go back to her day job.

Has she been to Anchorage yet - since her defeat?

Hopefully her 15 minutes of fame along with that of Plumber Joe are now almost OVER!!”

“Isn't there going to be an election to fill Rom Emanuel's Congressional seat? Couldn't the senate vacancy been filled at that time, two for one election cost?

This man - Burris - appears to be a self aggrandizing loser,”

“How sad.

Let the monument (to himself) carving begin!!!!”
