“I'm not sure who creeps me out more, SP or Gretchen Carlson practically salivating over her. yuuuuuk.”

“Gotta say, President Obama's nomination of this deluded yapper is my first serious complaint against him. No upside to that move at all.”

“Good call here. The headline said "blast" but the article said "respond" and the phrase Bill used was "it's not helpful."

In my book Bill still gets a thumbs down, and Keith a big hurrah, but I'm with you re accuracy in reporting.”

“lmao!”

“Liar.”

“I believe it's time for the sane among us to get off our computers, come out from behind the anonymity of our postings and take a stand against this craziness.

Let them see our faces, let them know our names.

Our children are watching us.”

“Let me get this straight. You're defending this guy?

And what's with the "I though 'Change 08' aimed to be different" ?
Obama has nothing to do with this. Nada. Zilch. Zero.
It's all your guy.”

“Sadly, I think it would be safe to say that Chris Matthews is no one's hero.”

“Worry, like a rocking chair will give you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere.

Too busy trying to fill the holes the GOP left the country in to worry. Where's your shovel?”

“At my monthly bookclub meeting this week, I took note of an interesting development.

Having read a war story the conversation eventually turned to politics and Afganistan. I listened as the intimate group of a dozen or so women in this very conservative city voiced concern with the war. I felt increasing amazement as many indicated a desire to "get out" and almost all questioned the whole mid-east/Iraq involvement from the beginning. There was very little argument.

The significance? 18 months ago bringing up the war was practically forbidden in this group; being an advocate for peace was barely tolerated.

While President Obama carefully determines the best plan of action in Afganistan, or "dithers", the tide of public sentiment is clearly shifting. More and more Americans are fed up with our outsourcing of treasure over there while people are struggling to survive over here. Perhaps for some the motivation is based on mistrust of the new administration. And perhaps our president knows just how to use that to help him accomplish what could not be accomplished a few short months ago...bein­g an intellectual is fine by me.

This I know, in bookclub this week the concensus was for peace and resolution in Afganistan - and I didn't say one word.”

“can't think of any”

“Chris is the echo chamber. Always has been.”

“In some ways worse, cause with fox you know it'sgonna be pure junk; but for some reason that 8% of the time that Matthews is on target I get tripped up before he drops me flat.
Inevitably I turn the channel furious that I ever turned him on.”

“huh?”

“I absolutely agree.
In my book CM actually represents what is wrong with a lot of MSM today. If he can't get an arguement going among his guests, he'll start one with himself.
Fickle, rude, two-faced.

Lawrence is gutsy and classy at the same time. And yet polite.”

“Sure I've got issues with Huck.

But there's nothing like "catching them doing something right" to bring about improved behavior.

He is right on this, and I am glad of it.”

“I actually came here looking for news about it, came up empty.

Disappointing on many levels.”

“Sam,

I'm desperately looking for something, anything, on HP tonight, that remotely resembles our president or his administration doing anything right.

Dozens of articles on Beck, Palin, Dobbs, et. al, all the people and pieces of poo that are being thrown in the path of progress of any kind... plenty of coverage on all mistakes and potential for more mistakes and possible mistakes and allegations of mistakes Mr. Obama is making, has made, could possibly make...

And some stuff about stuff that is just stuff.

But NOTHING not a word on what he is doing right, or what he is doing this minute....

What is going on?

Sam, I'm your fan. Please don't let me down. I don't like the direction this is going. I need answers.”

“I'm wondering why I can find a dozen articles on faux stars, tea-bag wanna-be's and former alaska governors on hp tonight but nary a word about our president in China.”

“way too much palin coverage on all fronts left right center

jeez don't we have problems to solve victories to celebrate causes to support

the most powerful form of correcting bad behavior - dogs or kids
consistancy - a quick, firm statement of negation followed by "time out"
no yelling, ranting, engaging, just ignore them until they do it right then
simple praise

true, some adults just have to be tuned out permanently
but don't we all have better things to do
(yes, you too, oprah, hp, babs?)”

“Hmmm....
wondering where the hp coverage of that meeting is as well?”

“I agree completely on principle, but differ in that this is "story worthy" or at least "photo worthy."

What an outstanding example of respectful leadership our president presents to the world. I couldn't be more proud.

Tragic, really, that many of those who most want to bring him down, find fault, etc. are supposed to be helping him run the country...”

“Yes.
Can be quite frustrating esp after spending time on thoughtful or heartfelt posts.”

“ah, but the unfettered, unregulated deficit spending of the repubs which led to the financial meltdown..­. that was no problem...

typical rightwing thinking, no shared responsibility”

“more likely his roots are in a non-English speaking country!
