“Perhaps the reason you don't find him funny is he's not a slap stick comic, you have to "think" to find his humor funny. Same reason most Americans don't find English comics funny the humor is to complicated.”

“People are so petty, if our first lady didn't look sharp at every appearance you'd have something NEGATIVE to say about that. Her husband makes a salary and what he spends it on is his business! Just because the country is on hard times doesn't mean the Obama's have to pretend they're broke. Bad enough they haven't been able to enjoy many of the perks other first family's have. Noticed last night they used previous first family china because god forbid they follow tradition and order Obama white house china! Why would anyone want our first family looking or acting like poor peasants!”

“That dress is unforgettable! And our First Lady looked stunning in it!! I see someone did they best to try and take unflattering photos of her in it DIDN'T WORK.”

“Both these women are reasonably attractive -- WHICH I suspect is the only reason they've made it this far being crazy.”

“DUMB AND DUMBER on stage together how nice.”

“I'll go with you, LOL.”

“What a buzz kill the day before THANKSGIVING!”

“So proud of our President and First Lady such a CLASS those two. I'm sure there is no shortage of kill joys on here tonight so I'm not going to kill by buzz by reading there posts. In these times of misery it was nice to have a break and enjoy being an American.”

“I don't think it was a concern for most Americans until we reached the point people could no longer afford or be guaranteed health insurance. People also weren't connecting the dots for a long time. Took a while for many to realize that the low raise or no raises over the pass few years was a direct connection to the rise in cost for employers providing health care for their employees. So here we are when the boat is ready to sink before our government acts. But if the republicans had they're way we still wouldn't be addressing it.”

“Just another B list performer doing something outrageous for publicity.”

“So true and if Pres. Obama loses the majority his agenda will be stopped in it's tracks. We've already seen the GOP strategy they will NEVER support a thing this Presidents tries to do.”

“Progressives -- we get a good laugh at the expense of these wing nuts. But I for one will not underestimate them, we have way to many uneducated and uninformed voters knocking around. The media LOVES to cover these wacko rallies and people are to easily influenced in this country. If people think they're winning the fight there will be no shortage of people jumping on they're crazy train.

History tells us young people and minority groups don't turnout in mid term elections. If this comes to pass it will be a disaster. We've already seen the GOP strategy, they will NEVER support a thing this President tries to do. If Pres. Obama loses a majority in the house he'll be stopped in his tracks, which has been their plan from day one. So laughing is fine but ignoring these people we can not, we'd better be ready to engage and fight back. We must get democrats out in droves to vote come mid terms because believe me there will be no shortage of republicans turning out.”

“I don't want another American shipped off to the forsaken place. But I'll trust this President's decision because unlike his predecessor I know he's thought this through and this must be the only option. This President is no war monger. But Mr. President the majority of Americans want our troops out of that place and another 8 years won't cut it. A clear sooner than later exit strategy is a MUST.”

“Obviously you weren't listening to what he said during the campaign. He never said he would be ending the war in Afghanistan to the contrary. But what he did say was he would implement a new strategy in Afghanistan that included a clear exit strategy.”

“Before we can stop the spending we have to stop the bleeding! The banks aren't loaning money, people aren't creating jobs and if the government doesn't step in who will? I'm not concerned about what they spend, so long as it's smart spending. This recession is bad enough I don't even want to imagine what it would be like going through a DEPRESSION.”

“Obviously they've figured out a way to make money if this were to happen. BEWARE -- these crocks are up to something AGAIN.”

“Peek into her life? I don't know what she could have told us in a book we don't already know. Dysfunctional family, holds grudges, spiteful, not very bright and left her state high and dry so she could go and make a ton of money selling a book....wh­ich she didn't write.”

“We're the only educated nation in the world who thinks we can have it all without paying for it. The quickest way for a politician to lose their job is suggest raising taxes. Had candidate Obama not promised a middle class tax cut I doubt he would have been elected.”

“"October's deficit was bigger than Bush's last entire year. One month".

We've not forgotten Bush had a nice surplus when he arrived in WA. And had he continued on that path instead of starting an unnecessary war that bankrupted the country we would not be in this situation. This continued growing deficit is a result of Bush starting one!

Republicans would love to lay this current mess at Pres. Obama feet simply because he's now the President. Not going to fly, we know why we're in this mess and it will forever be the balm of one man, BUSH!”

“No argument here, both bail outs should have demanded banks loan money!!”

“Thanks for venting! Always good to remember how we got here.”

“And replace them with who? I'm not going to waste my time ragging on Pres. Obama's economic team because what I know is, there is NO one equipped to sort out this mess short term. It's a crap shot at this point, try this see if it works if not try something else.”

“I would disagree, we don't need more parties, what we need is real campaign reform. So long as lobbyists can buy politicians doesn't matter how many parties there are they'll just be more politicians to buy.”

“I think it's fair to say Pres. Obama is taking on very tough issues-- some were not of his chosing but most were he's choosing. He could have just focused on the economy and the wars and I think most people would have understood that and would have no problem giving him another term time to tackle his campaign promises. But no, he's taking on what he inherited AND taking on what he promised during his campaign -- health care reform, climate change, an energy policy and re-vamping our education system --- which frankly doesn't seem like a good plan if his only concern was to be re-elected.”

“I was pretty much going to say the same thing, thanks. I would stress again "the world economy" and trade agreements, both are something FDR didn't have to deal with.”
