“I guess you aren't kept abreast of the news. Obama saved us from a Depression. the jobless number is down more than expected, the dow is over 10,000, the GDP is up.

My question is how do people without jobs pay for mortgages no matter how low the principal is lowered. This guy is another 20/20 hindsight guy. I have no interest in hearing these fools who didn't predict September 2008. NOW EVERYBODY has the answers. It too a long time to get into this mess and it will take a long time to get in this mess.

You have to convice me why I should vote for the same people that put us in this mess. That would be a little stupid don't you think. Obama has 4 years and has gotten a lot done so far. Jobs are a lagging indicator. The american public didn't take the time to update to skills of the 21st century. Obama can't fix that for you. Take the Tea Party and beg the Private Sector to give you a job. If you ask Obama for a job you are asking for the gov to get bigger, something the Right is vehemently against! On well. We all have to suck it up. We are fresh out of "magic Bullets" no matter who you put into office.”

“Um EVERYBODY else has been talking NOT Obama. He was waiting to see if Karzi was going to be re-elcted and he was. Now he is factoring that bit of bad news into it. All generals ask for more troops and all neocons want endless wars as they never have a domestic agenda. Obama seems to be on the right track,but we won't know untill HE MAKES the decision, not the press, not HP, not the bloggers. These are the hard decisions we elected him to make. My money is on Obama making the RIGHT decision. Lord knows Bush and Cheney did not.”

“I am really tired of political answers. Obama looking for the Right answer, now the political one. We can't hold our politicians feet to the fire when circumstances on the ground change. The fact that the corrupt Karzi government was re-elected is a HUGE deal. why should we lose our men propping up a corrupt government that is working aginst us. Obama has the guts to do the right thing.”

“Boy, you read fast!”

“Why did he wait 3 weeks to mention this? hummmm”

“Moral of the story: Don't threaten the President. Especially don't threaten the President if you have 43 guns in your house. I guess the gun enthusiast in here have fotgotten the story of the young man in Pittsburgh who assassinated 3 Police Officers because he thought Obama was going to take his guns. You have to take these threats seriously. I disliked Bush as a President, but I would neer want anyone to harm him. These are Americans we are talking about.”

“All the conservative orgs bought up the book. Now they are all giving them away. What a Hoax. lol”

“Talk to your State Legislators. They all got Stimulus money. Example, Bobby Jindal got $2 billion he has spent $648,000. Got to Recovery.gov and see what YOUR State is doing with the money. The republican govenors are sitting on the money so they can say it's not working. The only think working in America right now is OBAMA! Cut him some slack. We all sat around for 8 years doing nothing, not we want magic.”

“As if Anyone of Fox has any intelligence to discuss Iran. Bill O'Reilly came from Insider Edition - whoo - really brainy show. There isn't an ounce of intelligence on Fox. This guy is better off. People must start to get really stupid after working for Fox for too long. I don't know how people stomach that network. Murdock is not going to ruin the WSJ with his BS. I will read the Economist and nothing with Murdock's mitts on it.”

“For those of us that live among civilized people of all races and colors, it is hard to believe that in America we still have these knuckledraggers. It's amazing. Having a president of color has certainly bubbled up the ignorant. They can't control themselves. I think "they want their Country" back. But somebody tell them - they don't look Indian! lol lol”

“who's having so many kids and who is paying for them?”

“I would ask this judge if HIS parents were blood relatives?????”

“the problem is that Jindal has $2 billion in Stimulus to help the people of LA.

To date he has spent $648,000 on his citizens who are hurting. I think he is letting his ambitions to run for President keep him from fulfulling his duties as the Governor NOW!”

“Being a Monster isn't against the law. Executing an innocent person is not good. If this "monster" never broke any laws the governor has a huge problem.”

“It's a little tough when you have the Opposition working AGAINST you all the time. For example - Every STATE has refused to take any of the prisoners. All the countries still hate bush and don't want to take HIS prisoners so what would you do? Obama made the mistake of thinking our people in Congress were grown up and wanted to do what's best for the Country. Why he is finding out is that the GOP ONLY cares about getting re-elected to do nothing yet again. This certainly makes an already difficult job damn near impossible. Obama can't be bipartisan by himself. We have Three branches of government for a reason. Number 1 the Presidency and Number 3 the Surpeme Court are working for the country. Number 2 the Congress is as usual working for re-election and themselves. We the people have the power to change that by calling the opposition party and telling them to get on the train or get out of the way of progress.”

“What I love about Obama is that he is willing to LISTEN to everyone's point of view. After all, Obama is not the expert in War. Obama questions and then listens. But make no mistake, the decision will be Obama's and Obama's alone since he will alone rise or fall on it and I have no doubt this President will make the right decision based on the facts on the ground at this point.

The only reason this came up is because of the Afghani election which is plagued with corruption! Obama rightly qeustions whether or not we should put precious American lives on the line to help ressurrect a government where the leaders aren't willing to help. This makes no sense. He called a halt and is waiting to see if there will be a runoff election. This is prudent and smart. The problem with the Bush wars is that they plodded ahead despite what the facts on the ground showed. They "stuck" to the plan to our detriment! Obama is a very smart man with a great temprement - Thanks God he is the President in these crucial times when we have problems on ALL fronts - both foreign and domestic. I can't imagine the shape we would be in if McCain were President and Palin were the Vice President (possilbly thie President since the stress literally made McCain sick)

Give this team the time they need to fix all these colossal messes.”

“I have grown weary of people suggesting that the SURGE worked. Here is why the SURGE is perceived to have worked: By the time Bush decided to SURGE, the Sunnis and Shiites had already had their "ethnic" cleansing. Prior to OUR INVASION, the Sunnis and the Shiites lived, worked and married together. AFTER our INVASION, they then separated by SIDES since We already decided that the Sunnis must be the bad guys since Saddam was one of them. Well the Sunnis killed all the Shiites in their neighborhoods and vice versa. The major killing had already been done but the time of the Surge.

This is like 2 weeks after the Riots in Watts were over and THEN the police show up in force and claim it was their efforts that stopped the riots! Hogwash!”

“Joe Biden needs to stay exactly where he is. He is doing what he is supposed to do.

Ayrianna if you want someone to make a statement, then encourage all the Number 2s at the Health Care companies to resign. That would show their contempt for what THEIR bosses are doing to the American people.

BTW - Biden is NOT questioning whether or not we should stay in Afghanistan, he is arguing that we should not escalate. Two very different scenarios!”

“You are correct! I read yesterday that is cost the American Taxpayer $1 million per soldier per year to run these wars. That does NOT include what we are paying to all the Contractors. It's not the financial system that is breaking this country, it's these 2 wars!”

“I think the disagreement is about the STRATEGY NOT being in Afghanistan. Biden is not in favor of sending 40,000 troops. He is in disagreement with McChrystal's plan not Obama's. Obama has not even revealed his plan. He has one more Security Council meeting. I think AH is jumping the gun. There is no indication that Obama and Biden are NOT on the same side. At least from my vantage point.”

“I totally disagree with the statement AND the logic. It's a little scary that people think they can tell other people to sacrefice their jobs to prove a point. This is the Vice President of the United States not an office worker who had a bad day. Transparency meets Internet meets 24/7 cable news has gone awry!”

“Somebody tell Steele and the GOP their talking points are rusty.
1. Medical malpractice payments is only 1% of the insurance company payments - big deal
2. Why don't they tell us how they would tear apart the current Individual State Regulation of Insurance to make it portable. Do they have a price on that.
3. Why he is wanting the govement OUT of Health Insurance - his GOP buddies are all over TV asking Obama (the government) to provide jobs. Why don't they ask the "free market" to provide jobs. Why are they going to the health care and financial companies and demanding jobs. They surely don't think the gov should be in the jobs business - they "free market" will take care of it.”

“Wow, Obama hasn't even made his decision and this article assumes that he will escalate and Joe should resign? I guess there is no news when they don't have Obama on TV every day, there is a news glut. I think it's funny. People are now just making up - would be news - if this or that happened. Where were all these psychics when we needed them the most - BEFORE THE FINANCIAL TSUNAMI? lol”

“Jersey was a mess long before Corzine took office. I moved here 13 years ago and everyone said it was a mess then. You can't blame Corzine. New Jersey is no different than all the other states suffereing from the Bush meltdown. Name one State that is thriving! NONE.”

“Forget his travel bills, I don't want pay for his food bill. I live in NJ and I know this - one would have to eat constantly to maintain that size. This guy is huge. I cannot imagine him adding the stress of running the State of NJ in such poor health. He is literally a heart attack waiting to happen. Just the right amount of stress on top of one fatty meal and this guy is toast. We don't need a governor who is sick. I think his weight is a HUGE problem (no pun intended). It shows terrible lack of discipline OR some deep seeded problems.”
