“The only sweeter irony would be if his opponent was supported by the beauty queen from the north,”

“BK was conducting some extracurricular nonsense on the side.

They are “Birds of a Feather" as you remember so was "Righteous Rudy"”

“Maybe we could have some pictures from the biological experimenting that the Japanese did on the Chinese.”

“Agreed.”

“They weren't civilians

Maybe we could ask the Chinese or Koreans civilians from that time how they feel about what the Japanese did to them as ask them how they feel about the use of the Atomic Bombs.”

“The only thing this shows is that Pres. Johnson was a human being affected by a terrible act who needed to get a release of emotion and fear out of his system before dealing with the burden that he had now been handed. In 46 years has the world grown as callous as to try to ridicule a man for being human??”

“That should be Vicks Vapor Rub under the eyes.”

“We live in a world where Ipecac and Vaseline under the eyes is now what passes for journalism in America.”

“This just goes to prove that the media is easily distracted by “Shiny Objects”. This is why the real issues go almost unreported. Flying Saucer Balloons, Tea Baggers etc.”

“As a native born still living here New Yorker I can say that the city has had it heart and soul ripped out. What once was unique and quirky about the city is long gone replaced by tacky, vulgar and the not at all “User friendly”.”

“"But right now, we have as much cause to worry about the President's priorities as the governor's shortcomin­gs."

Wrong. Obama as the President IS the real leader of the Democratic Party. He does need to make sure that the Governorship of one of the largest states remains in Democratic hands and does not revert back to the Republicans. Paterson has been a disaster. Yes he was thrust into a position without warning, but instead of showing much needed leadership he has allowed the state to drift without any idea from its citizens as to where it heading on any issue. Obama wants to make sure that the Democrats don't lose what it has taken them so long to obtain.”

“Why do most Republicans look like the people your mother told you to stay away from ??”

“We knew that already.”

“What the GOPers don't realize is that a time will come and they will be back in office, Do you think that we on the Left will forget what the Repubs have done?”

“So true.”

“While it may be true that TARP was passed under Bush, the Obama Administration went out of its way to stop any caps on the salaries and bounces of Wall Street. The public started to loss confidence with Obama with his appointment of Geithner. Why pick an insider especially one who conveniently forgot to pay his taxes by “mistake” as the face of your economic recovery team. This is looked at as the height of hubris by those who are looking to you to be on “Their side"”

“One of the biggest problems is that Obama doesn't seem to understand the lessons learned from the 2004 Presidential race. Kerry lost because the Repubs were allowed to spread their lies about him without any major push back until the damage was done. The same is true of Obama and his administration. Instead of immediately and forcefully calling out the lies at the top of their lungs they lay back until the Right has a stranglehold on the debate before any real push back. By that time it's already too late the most servere damage has already been done. I think the blame has to be laid at the feet of those advising him. It was said that Kennedy had the “Best and the Brightest" Obama seems to have the "Mediocre and the Dimmest" people advising him. Just look at the Bank bailout detachable. Were they so blind and deaf to think that giving billions to the Banks because they were too big to fall, and then have the banks give billions in bonuses to the very people who destroyed the banks, would really sit well with the average American struggling to stay afloat ? The constant kissing up to the Right is another problem. Bills that would have really helped the average American were and are gutted to appease the Republicans who then refuse to vote for them anyway. Obama needs to regain that “Fierce sense of urgency” and go back to being the man we had hope in.”

“Maybe the Japanese should be confronted with this http://www.centurychina.com/wiihist/germwar/germwar.htmm”

“Well if you wish to talk cover up Maybe we should look at what the Japanese were doing before condemning the US http://www.centurychina.com/wiihist/germwar/germwar.htmm”

“Maybe People should look at what the Japanese were doing before condemning the US http://www.centurychina.com/wiihist/germwar/germwar.htmm”

“Another giant and innovator gone. His passing leaves the world poorer and shifts to balance more towards the mediocrity that most people embrace as talent.”

“The Marx Brothers were clever, funny and anti - war all the things the Repubs are not.”

“Eliot, Please come back all is forgiven !!!!!!!!!!”

“New York's is also free.”

“So the gov't should tell you how to raise you children ?”
