“I admire Pres. Obama for having the guts to stand up to corporate greed and corruption. He is David fighting Goliath!!! His election removed the covers and exposed the criminals who control the wealth in our country.

He won't win all the fights but if he can chip away some of their power ... it's a start.
He is fighting a centuries old institution ... the small percentage of Americans who control 95% of the wealth!

Bank CEOs belong to this elite group .. so do the leaders of oil companies, media empires, insurance companies etc. These people see the rest of us as undeserving peasants!”

“Well said! Instead of keeping us safe, they have lied to us, @!#$$! off the rest of the world and have undermined our security! Time for a new agency with new goals!”

“The CIA should be dismantled ... they are responsible for undermining and overthrowing democratically elected foreign governments ... so greedy American corporations can get their hands on the resources of other countries! HOODWINKING!!!

The government of Honduras, elected by the people, was overthrown by the CIA on behalf of Dole and Chiquita fruit corporations. They didn't want to see an increase in the minimum wage for farm workers!

They bribe people in other countries and pretend it is "foreign aid". Until this practice ends the world will never find peace and the majority of it's population will live in poverty.

Americans need to become educated about our government's foreign policies (especially from the Reagan to the Bush Jr. years!) and what our corporations are doing in other countries.”

“I don't watch talk shows on the corporate media anymore. The media has become a mouthpiece for the rightwing. (Except for Olberman and Maddow who are limited in what they can cover!)
Their role is to HOODWINK the public.

(Read HOODWINKED by John Perkins to find out what THEY are realy doing to us!)

President Obama's biggest obstacle is corruption in corporate America and in the propaganda spreading media, which they control.

Americans need to challenge CEOS the way they are being challenged in the U.K. and France .. Tax their bonuses into extinction!”

“Americans are ignorant to the power of their corporations and the corruption among CEOS and the politicians in Congress who they pay to vote in their favor.

Obama has no control over these entities ... that's where the anger should be directed.

The President does not have the power to pass legislation.

European politicians are not as corrupt as their American counterparts ... or the people over there are not as tolerant of corruption! Lobyists don't exist!!!

The biggest obstacle Pres Obama is facing is corruption in corporate America, the corporate controlled media, Congress, and the IGNORANT AMERICANS WHO BELIEVE THE PROPAGANDA BEING FED TO THEM DAILY OVER THE AIRWAVES!

Sad to say, HuffPo is not helping enough to tell people how they are being Hoodwinked!! There ar so many negative-misleading-spin-articles aimed at Pres O on this site now ... I might as well watch Beck! Maybe corporate interests are influencing this site too. Maybe I'll just stick to reading The Nation magazine!”

“Obama's presidency came too late! If he was in the White House for the past 8 YEARS ... we wouldn't be in this mess.

I'm tired of whiners who are standing on the sidelines and expect him to clean up the Bush mess in less than a year. If you want to help ...

Get in the trenches and help him fight the corruption of American corporations ... they are in control of EVERYTHING in our country. They shift the jobs to India and China where they can abuse workers!

Any journalist writing about jobs should explain to readers why there are less jobs for working Americans. Bill Clinton is partly responsible for NAFTA.

We don't even have call center jobs here anymore! Wake up America and stop blaming Obama.
He is not God ... he can't fight alone while we sit on the sofa cursing Glen Beck!!!!

We the People have the power to keep our dollars from companies who make goods abroad ... we also have the power to get rid of corrupt politicians! Wake Up America!!”

“No Public Option = Victory for the insurance company monopoly and corupt politicians.

The only losers will be ordinary Americans. Democracy?

Looks like wealthy minority rule!!!”

“Jobs for the good ole boys and girls!!!”

“Anyone who thinks the President has any power is under an illusion!
He can't fight corruption and greed ALONE!

If WE THE PEOPLE want a public option we have to join the fight against corrupt, self-serving, career politicians and the corporateocracy who fill their pockets and ... give high paying jobs to their friends and families.

This fight is not the American people versus Obama ....

It is Obama AND the American people versus the CORPORATEOCRACY .... the corporations have hijacked our democracy and polluted our system of government with corruption for their profits.

Read HOODWINKED by John Perkins for a better understanding of this thievery!!!”

“AWW Say it ain't so Joe ! Byeee! Joe the LIAR!”

“The DC sniper, who was executed a few weeks ago, was a veteran of the first Iraq war. The press never mentioned this much. He came back messed up and was never treated!

(He was responsible for the sniper deaths in the DC area).

A man who knew him when he lived in a shelter said at the time of his execution ... "This is what happens when mental illness is left untreated."

Our country failed him and his victims. We should not give death sentences to mentally ill veterans.”

“Last year we rallied behind Obama as he took down the Rethuglicans.

Now we are all behaving like observers in a school yard fight ... we encourage him to fight but we don't want to be a part of it. Some of us are running away!

We should all be putting pressure on the senators who are obstructing reform on behalf of the insurance companies who fill their pockets ... and give their families and friends high paying jobs (i.e. LIE berman!)

For ANY of Pres. O's leglislations to pass WE, THE PEOPLE, should be as engaged as we were last year in challenging corrupt politicians and CEOs.

The President is a figurehead. He promised change if WE STAND WITH HIM, he didn't say he could do it alone! If we become passive we deserve what we get!!!”

“Now we know for sure what she realy means by "real Americans" ... only people who look like her and her father!

I wonder what her parents think of her half-Native American husband? Do Eskimos count as "real Americans" ????

This is the kind of ignorance that results from a still mostly segregated America!

Sarah had a problem with non-whites in Hawaii. Wonder what she thinks of a bi-racial man from Hawaii becoming President !!!!!!!!!! LOL!”

“Our corporateocracy media is owned by 7 companies (used to be 50!) ... all headed by old Rethuglican men .... how many people still believe we ar getting unbiased news or discussions.

The media is nothing more than a right-wing censored entity, employing million-dollar-a-year-pay-to-play talking heads to spread lies and propagando to the uninformed and gullible!!!!!

Read HOODWINKED by John Perkins for the truth about our media and corporations ... they have kidnapped our democracy !!!”

“Now we know the truth about what happened in Panama, why is Noriaga (who worked with Omar Torrijos) still rotting in a U.S. jail.

His capture and imprisonment was celebrated by many Americans, because our corrupt , propaganda spreading media told us he was the enemy.

This is a human rights violation ... the illegal capture and imprisonment of a foreign leader based on corporate lies!!!”

“The Bush admin. never won an election ... they staged a coup twice and got away with it. His admin. was illegal just like Kharzi in Afghanistan ... Oh! I forgot ... he installed Kharzi as leader of that country !!!

What the Bushites did in our country is similar to what our corporations have been doing in Third World countries for decades . Using voter fraud, bribery, to install leaders who will serve their purpose of wealth/resources control. (Ref: Hoodwinked by John Perkins)

Pres. Obama outwitted them with his grassroots organization and the internet !”

“Mr Sullivan is A REAL AMERICAN ... he has the guts to call out the forces who would divide and destroy our country!”

“His wife is Latina! Doh!!!”

“LOL! Who cares about the high foreclosure rate in Florida or the high unemployment ... lets have fun on the beach!”

“Unemployment has reached crisis level in our country for several reasons:

Banks did not invest the bailout mone into small business loans .... small businesses hire people.

Greedy corporations have shifted jobs to countries where there are no laws to protect workers from abuse, and labor is cheap.

Unemployment has always been higher in the black community ... not because they don't want jobs ... the cause is an unequal playing field.

In many cases the people in charge of hiring are white. In a tight economy they pass jobs to their own.

A New York Time's article reports that blacks are losing jobs at an alarming rate in NY. They represent a large section of workers in low paying jobs, i.e. retail. restaurants etc.

It is easy to think because we have a few wealthy blacks all is well. We are all hurting (except for the wealthy). BRING BACK THE JOBS FROM INDIA AND CHINA !!!!!”

“Obstructing for his corporate insurance donors!!!! Time for corupt, self-serving politicians to leave the stage!!!”

“Chris Mathews is paid over 30 MILLION a year by his bosses (MSNBC is owned by GE).

His show like many others is all about ratings and his pockets. He will say things to undermine the Obama admin. to please his corporate bosses. I stopped watching these propaganda peddlers a long time ago!!!

Morality in journalism went out with the likes of Peter Jennings, Ted Koppel, Phil Donahoue etc. They refused to bow to corporate pressure to mislead the public with lies.

Mathews sunk to a new low!!!!”

“YES! Dobbs belongs to a small percentage of old white men who are having a hard time coming to terms with a changing world.

He represents the status quo .... they don't want change!!”

Get well Regis (enjoy the holidays with Mr. Trouble!) and come back soon before Kelly becomes too attached to Anderson Cooper or Sam Champion!”
