“This was a contrived event by this family. The news media (cable news) has descended to the abyss.
There was no confirmation of the facts of the story. The networks were falling over each other
to cover this "fake' story. Shep has become a caricature as he has bought into Fox News.
One minute I was watching the Obama Town Hall meeting in New Orleans, the next minute I was watching an empty balloon fly across the western sky.

It is so sad.”

“Sometimes it is better to admit to a mistake and move forward. This situation appears to be one
of those times.

Someone should take leadership at ASU and admit the mistake and move on.

for ASU, there is no way to spin the initial decision. Admit the mistake and move on.”

“Easter should be Passover. The eggs and bunnies represent reprodction as practiced by the
non-christians (heathens).

Easter is basically a hybrid of various heathen events and church events.

The bunny and colored eggs, and candy has nothing to do with Christ.

Easter has become a commercial ritual holiday. A big commercial holiday.

Sorry .”

“Based on the above article, it appears Mr. Crow is a bit behind on the times.

Basically, America has been run and guided by people like Crow. They are the "keepers of the gate".
They insure that things remain the same as much as possible. They live in that dream like time of the 50's and sixties.

The sheer onslaught of Latinos and other minorities coming to America and the election of African Americans and women will be difficult to control.

People like Crow will slowly melt into the ever changing landscape of change.”

“What Baldwin said is true. Overall the cable news networks are not good in covering any issues other than breaking news.

Maddow, I can't watch for all the cutesy jibber-jabber. Keith was a good balance to the Bush media
cabal. He no longer covers any issues that need to be covered.

Cable news channels are not good. As far as television goes, however, it is all we have at this time.”

“You have an excellentb pen name. for your comments.”

“Again, lets not go overboard with this fantasy.”

“Lets not go overboard with this fanatasy.”

“Obama should have listened to Axelrod. The team that got Obama into the White House was
led by Axelrod.

Geithner will always come down on the side of banks and Wall Street.

Sometimes you should "dance with the one that brought you".”

“Dodd and Durbin have over stayed their welcome.

They both have gone bad.”

“I don't know what Geithner knwe and when, I do know that Obama has spent a lot of capital on
this guy.”

“Geitner may not be bad, but the media portrays all his photos as sinister.”

“I don't get your hypothesis. It is incongruent....period.

Obama's team let him down. You don't make appointments based on columnists. You make
appointments based on vetting, reviewing and vetting again.

My theory is , there are some in Obama's administration who may have known about some of the
issues his appointees had. At any rate, those mis-steps slowed Obama's march.

His after election team is not as competent as his campaign staff was. There were very minimal
mistakes made during the two year campaign. It was only after his staff was enlarged did the mistakes begin. There were more mistakes in his firts 45 days after the election, than during the two year campaign.”

“Drivel, yes ....sad but true. The cable news channels are the worst. There is very little intelligent reporting of news, and they all report the same identicals stories.

The Reporters are barely literate and you can easily tell they are not intelligent about their subject matter. It's more like a beauty contest.”

“Obama should remove the American military from Afghansitan, Pakistan, and Iraq. These situations are a waste of lives and resources.”

“Rupert Murdoch and News Corp, with their ownership waivers ,have done media creep all over the globe. In America , Fox News and the New York Post spew the worst ideological garbage in America disguised as news.

Murdoch (News Corp) has also purchased the Wall Street Journal. They have initiated its' transformation from one of America's best known business information newspaper to a tool of the far right wing in disguise.”

“This article is mis-leading. There is money in the Stimulus Bill for the Corp of Engineers.
Conceiveably some of these fund can be used for work in New Orleans on Corp of Engineers
projects. Also I recently tread there is Katrina repair monies already allocated, are held up in beaureaucy and red tape.

There is funding for Katrina repairs, but remember you now have Governor Jindal in Louisianna.
Based on his recent statements and party affiliation, I don't have a lot of hope for New Prleans nor Louisianna.”

“This article demonstrates the level to which MSM and corrupt politicians will go to deny equal access and protection under the law and the Constitution. There has been an orchestrated , concerted, slimy effort to deny Burris the Senate seat and now to "make " him resign.

Note that in this article as well as all the others appearing in MSM, there is no sound evidence of illegal activity. There is however, conjecture, smear and fear mongering, name calling, and hate speech regarding Burris.

With everything that is ocurring in America, we are/have dis-regarded our basic principals of decency and the Constitution. While many have never had any decency, the Constitution has always held this country together.

If we lose sight of the principles of the constitution's equal protection clause, we lose .........”

“Reid , in essence planted his Staff member in Buriss's office under the disguise of helping Burris.
After he was unable to deny Burriss the seat thriugh legal means, Reid seorted to surreptitious means.

When people complain about a lack of integrity in politics, there appears to be good reason. The closer you observe the more you can see.

It is not a pretty sight.”

“Senator Reid and Dick Durbin attempted to deny Buriss the Senatae seat, illegally. When that track failed, Reid then snaked up to Burris and planted one of his staff in Buriss's office.

Bad move on Buriss's part. The trap was set. In addition to being able to monitor every move Burris made, information from Burris's office was available to Reid at all times.

Now at the most advantagious time, you bite Burris by "having your staff member resign".

Politicians at that level(Reid and Durbin) didn't get there selling Boy Scout Cookies.”

“This is not rocket science, and it's not nuanced. Follow the bouncing ball.

News Corp is the parent company of the New York Post. News Corp is also the owner of Fox News.

Rupert Murdoch is the owner of News Corp.

Fox News=New York Post=Rupert Murdoch=the Anti-Obama news cabal.”

“Boerhnor and Congressional Republicans have placed themselves between a "Barack and a hard place". Well, you know what I mean.

Now I understand why there was a constant refrain about passing the Stimulus Bill by the President's Day break.

Obama timed the Stimulus Bill so that the U S Congress would be on break in their home districts for the Presidents Day Break.

Local media all over America is doing stories on the impact of the stimulus Bill in their cities and states. School Boards are announcing that they will not layoff Teachers and support personnel due to passage of the Stimulus Bill. State governments are announcing how many State Employees jobs will be saved and highway projects are being considered at the State level.

Remember the meeting Obama had with all the Governors? Obama was smart to involve the Governors . The States already have the mechanisms and structure in place to get the "shovel ready" projects started. This thing is like a Tsunummi. The Republicans in the House and Senate can either join in or get swept away.

Citizens are able to read about the results of the Stimulus Bill and judge for themselves. They can then compare their elected officials stances and votes on the bill.”

“The Republicans are playing "bait and switch. They knew the Democrats had enough votes to pass the Stimulus Bill. They also knew that regardlees of what they said and did on the House and Senate
floors, their states and constituents will benefit from the Stimulus Bill.

They had the best of two worlds. They pretended to have morals and convictions to trick the less politically educated (their constituents), while behind the scenes take advantage of the Bill they railed against.

It is the political American way.”

“How can someone so smart make such a dumb decision to escalate war in Afghanistan?

I feel this increase in militarism in Afghanistan is a huge mistake. Obama may have the support of "war hawks", but he has lost his moral authority with this decision.

No matter what else Obama does, he has nothing on which to stand from this point. Killing people half-way around the world is still killing.”
