“Well, folks, this year we need to kick out the incumbents who don't represent us and put in folks who do and maybe, just maybe, we can get the change we voted Obama in for.”

“Agreed, and if you don't like the current democrat in office, you still don't have to vote republican. Vote for a better democrat in the primaries.”

“Obama went out of his way to get the GOP to be a part of this - so much so that he has aggravated those who voted him into office. And the Republicans have done nothing but obstruct at every step of the way. Anyone who has been tracking these developments all year via real news sources knows this.”

“Negotiating with Democrats only HE HAD NO LEVERAGE and Reid had to pay a high price to get 60 votes. And this is with Big Pharma on the sidelines. Now imagine if the President didn't cut a deal with Big Pharma to keep it on the sidelines with its huge war chest. Failure pobably would have been certain because progressives didn't even fight the Teabaggers during the town halls. Many are carping about the Pharma deal but those dollars to be gained by Pharma are peanuts when you're talking about trillion dollar healthcare reform.”

"Dr. Nancy" Canceled On MSNBC

“Unless you're on a network that focuses on health issues and such, it's hard to keep a whole hour flying on a news network. When I first heard about it, I knew its ratings would be challenged. MSNBC needs to focus on straightforward news when it isn't doing it's main shows, the way CNN USED to do and the way the BBC does right now.”

Guitarsandmore replied on Dec 26, 2009 at 00:20:53

“Perhaps that could work, but MSNBC is the response to Faux News. Fox tells these giant lies and then they just sort of hang there in the air like a giant fart without any response. Then MSNBC comes along like air freshener and clears the air with the truth - the real story. I like that a lot.

We need MSNBC to reveal the truth and point out to the world how criminal the Republican/corporate America really is . Lies must not be allowed to foul the air.”

“He and Biden get daily security briefings, so it's not as though he's on a total vacation. He's just unencumbered himself with the huge crowd that works at the White House too - for 10 days only.”

“I classify this misguided soul in the same category as the 'shoe bomber' - kind of idiotic especially when even the passengers are so determined not to get killed these days. I'm waiting to see how punched up this guy is when they release his arrest photo because you know he caught it good. I'm also bracing for the security fallout - first, no liquids, next...?

“Obama has nothing on Dubya and his frequent absences from DC. He works harder than we can begin to realize and it is not as though he can ever take a vacation from his responsibilities as exemplified by the Daily briefings he and Biden get. People who say such foolish things know precious little about reality. They just want to spread the poison that is Hate.”
