“Are all the little spinmeisters heard from? The fact is that scientists are no better than the lemmings of the Progressives, rushing to a consensus on global warming. Science is, of course, all about consensus. Just ask Galileo.”

“Since the AARP sold out to pharmaceutical firms on Medicare Part D, the organisation has zero credibility on health issues.”

“Perhaps we can send John Kerry there again. Maybe the Afghans will keep him this time. We have to look at this with optimism and hope.”

“In the interests of fairness, the Obama Administration should suspend the First Amendment for the duration of Mr. Obama's presidency. He should certainly use the full power of the U.S. government to harass and intimidate all Fox News personnel, even the janitors. The full panoply of early a.m. enhanced interrogations by the FBI; IRS audits; and forced listening to the sermons and diatribes of Obama's favourite pastor, Rev. Wright, and audio tapes of the collected writings and bombings of Bill Ayers, with a few rants from Van Jones should be thrown in for good measure.”

“Since Chuck Schumer is one of the most partisan people in Congress, and is one of the more seriously compromised by the contributions he solicits from the finance industry, it is always wise to check his contributors before paying attention to anything he says. He is one of the reasons that the Democratic Party is seen as possibly even more corrupt than Republicans when they were in the majority. His performance leading to the AIG meltdown was disgraceful.”

“It's a shame people like Chuck Schumer, who has been bought so many times by people in http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/join.html?autojoin=1n=1 financial world, are in the senate, screwing up Americans' health care. The only way we are likely to get a decent healthcare system in this country is for the President to use his bully pulpit and shame our sticky-fingered Congress to have but one goal: serve the American public.”

“Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell are the last people who should be outraged at what AIG does or does not do re bonuses. According to facts, the AIG bonuses ranged from $1,000 to $6.5 million. On the other hand, the average earmark was $13 million per Congressma­n/woman/se­nator. That is a figure which should disgust. Obama is disingenuous in the extreme, and thinks we are incredibly stupid, by allowing earmarks. No Congressman is worth $13 million.

What do you suppose a Congressman gets for delivering $13 million to his/her district or state. Finder's fees? You think? Sweetheart deals on their mortgages? Some already do. Waivers on laws regarding their holdings? Some already do. But they probably want more. They know what Samuel Gompers said when asked what Labor wanted.

Of course, Gompers was talking about people who worked for a living. All Congress does is take raises after helping to cause a financial catastrophe and putting thousands of Americans out of work. Did they do it alone? No, but at least that is the one bipartisan thing Congress and the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell can take credit for. They allowed a disaster to happen on their watch, and then they put their hands in our pockets yet again.

The President should be ashamed for not calling them on it, but then he is the product of the Illinois legislature and the U.S. Senate and he may not know right from wrong, either.”
