“I support Time magazine's decision. For those who label Bernanke as a loser, you are thinking on a very myopic level. In the global economy, we were faced with situations that had never occurred before--it's like playing the deck of cards with which you were dealt. We can not always choose that deck of cards--we can only work with what we have. It's not to say he was above the fray of mistakes; but given what he was dealt, he did one helluva job--IMHO--to save our global economy from collapse. Next on the agenda is to regulate the too-big-to-fail banks and to create jobs for the American people.”

“yeah, but it's been awhile...don't even know if I could properly identify them...can't remember if there was only one type of shroom from cow patties--or several--”

“GREAT times :-) Wish I could do it again.”

“"I just think that's over the edge and offensive to me. My wife is a private citizen and she's working for a movement that aims at reducing or finding a cure for breast cancer," he said. "It's just deeply offensive to me."

Sen. Lieberman: You are deeply offensive to the American public, and YOU are over the edge. Please, just get lost.”

“Agree”

“Not to mention...that our food supply is now killing us. For example, the meat supply is filled with antibiotics and GROWTH hormones...and "they" wonder why we are getting sick and are no longer resistant to diseases? Our canned food has more poison than the plastic bottles all ready banned. Our vegetables and fruit are so heavily laden with pesticides and other "producing" additives that we now poison ourselves by eating healthy items. Our clothing imports, our building imports--i.e., sheet rock--, children's toys laden with lead....oh my! But let's put the boogeyman on drug imports. In addition, how many times have drugs been recalled after having been on the market for many years--you know, the ones to be found unsafe for consumption. Geez Louise!”

“I say, vote everyone out of office that submitted pork projects or voted to ok the funding. Oh, wait! That would mean we no longer have a senate! How on earth would we little peons survive???”

“Why?”

“Spot on.”

“It never did make sense to me why the media was all over this private matter. No major criminal charges were placed, the accident happened near his home, and whose business is it, anyway? I hate the way the media castigated him. Disgusting. Leave he and his family alone to deal with their problems in their own way and own time.”

“To tell you the truth, I wish there were more journalists like Mike Taibbi. However, the whole systemic process of the media, government, and the very rich virtually control all facets of our lives. It is such a corrupt system that the whole thing needs to be dismantled. If the whole system was dismantled, our country's fraudulent foundation might be wiped out. Either way, it will be the masses who suffer through this indescriminate genocide. I have come to the conclusion, after watching the powers-that-be play with us like pawns on a chess board, that it doesn't matter who is president. It doesn't matter which members are part of congress. It doesn't matter that there are giant corporations willing to spread their wealth as the poison of pollution to our very survival in the global world. It doesn't matter where you turn: our food supply is seriously contaminated; they wonder why Americans are fat when the meat they eat is filled with antibiotics and GROWTH hormones--this is just for starters. I try to find the ray of light, the sense of hope, but instead I start to think about my own and my loved ones' survival in the event of catastrophe; and, what means do I have to make it all less painful?

Sorry for the negative post, but this s*** is just seriously depressing...”

“The poor children...may soon not have a mom or dad.”

“He represents nothing BUT a temper tantrum: red face, rolling eyes, tight mouth, clenched fists...he is a classic study in how anger can usurp all else, even "good".”

“Seriously, you need to retire and leave the governoring to capable people who do not have explosive tempers. Please...just go away.”

“That is absolutely awesome. We must NEVER forget who was in charge when America went into this economic tailspin (Hint: it was before Obama's time as President) Congratulations, President Obama! Keep up the good work and continue brainstorming jobs for the future so that Amercians can once again be gainfully employed.”

“Seriously...why do you post your comments here?”

“Especially if you are a dumb a$$ politician”

“Thank you.”

“So, we're trying to change the 9th amendment of the Constitution, a Bill of Rights?

Roe v. Wade is the historic Supreme Court decision overturning a Texas interpretation of abortion law and making abortion legal in the United States. The Roe v. Wade decision held that a woman, with her doctor, could choose abortion in earlier months of pregnancy without restriction, and with restrictions in later months, based on the right to privacy.

January 22, 1973.

All state laws limiting women's access to abortions during the first trimester of pregnancy were invalidated by Roe v. Wade. State laws limiting such access during the second trimester were upheld only when the restrictions were for the purpose of protecting the health of the pregnant woman. Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in the United States, which was not legal at all in many states and was limited by law in others

Roe v. Wade was decided primarily on the Ninth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a part of the Bill of Rights. The Court's decision in this case was that the Ninth Amendment, in stating that "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people," protected a person's right to privacy.”

“What a twit.”

“Bob Dylan & excerpts from a song, 1989:

"We live in a political world,
Love don't have any place.
We're living in times where men commit crimes,
And crime don't have a face.

We live in a political world,
Wisdom is thrown into jail,
It rots in a cell, is misguided as hell,
Leaving no one to pick up a trail.

We live in a political world
Where mercy walks the plank,
Life is in mirrors, death disappears
Up the steps into the nearest bank."”

“Just who in the hell do you think YOU are?”

“Murdoch's agenda is just another right-wing conglomerate gone haywire.”

“Murdoch can stick it up his a$$.”

“"There are certain things only a government can do," Obama says in the address. "And one of those things is ensuring that the foods we eat, and the medicines we take, are safe and do not cause us harm."

The announcements illustrate another shift in direction under Obama from the policies of the administration of President George W. Bush, which came under attack for ignoring worsening food safety problems and politicizing the work of the FDA. The changes also follow a series of high-profile and fatal outbreaks, including peanut products contaminated with salmonella that led to nine deaths in recent months.

"No parent should have to worry that their child is going to get sick from their lunch."

Obama says in his address that the FDA was "underfunded and understaffed" during the Bush administration and that outbreaks from contaminated food have risen to 350 a year compared to 100 a year in the early 1990s. He also says approximately 95 percent of the nation's 150,000 food processing plants go without inspections each year.

Obama has proposed an extra $1 billion in his 2010 budget for more inspectors, improved laboratories and other improvements at FDA."

We surely hope so.”
