Okay, interesting enough. But, I'm MORE interested in John Kass's explanation as to why Blago (BANK OF AMERICA SLAYER--arrested WITHOUT INDICTMENT HOURS AFTER THREATENING TO PULL STATE BIZ OUTTA THEIR BAILED OUT SAFES IF THEY SHUT THE UNION WORKERS OUTTA THE GLASS FACTORY)lost his attorney the other day.
Isn't it journalism's JOB to police BOTH the repug and the Democratic wings of our oligarchy?

Read Kass's article this morning and had the exact same reaction as the 3:30 comment above.

We talk about helping those who over spent there means and purchased a house, what about us that stayed within our means and did not purchase a house. Do we now get the same great give away deal so I can now purchase a home. Thanks, Galen

On the Economy, and the quickest way to see effects: Why not do away with ALL capital gains on SAVINGS? This will induce people to SAVE more, and...Bring back the Intrest writeoffs on Credit Card Accounts - this will help people pay off their debts .. MORE SAVINGS and LESS DEPT to consumers...I think these two strategies will help the economy as much as adding infrastructure projects and the common denominator for the future of the US economy: Getting away from foreign Oil use...we must become independent Energy consumers !!! thank you G Broussard.

I know that my comment will not be posted because this always happen when I state my honest opinion, but I am going to write it anyway: I was watching John King this morning while getting dress and I do not agree on the comment he made about president clinton. I remember that the eight years he was in office we had eight wonderful years. When he left office and what he did is in all libraries in the country, he left 587 trillion dollars in surplus for the people of the united states, and told president bush that the money was for the people of the united states for him to use this money for the people. How well the news reporters forget this, bush in the first three months in office used that money for the war in Iraq and got us deeply in debt, when president clinton got us out of debt. we all of the united states know this. Clinton was a good president and the republicans know that he was a good president. But the people and I mean all the people the poor as well as the middle class are watching the republican and what they are doing now. Those old and I mean the real old republican needs to retired their time has been up. We also know about the one world goverment that the republicans are trying to bring into the world. We know what that European Unity is and how it works. We are not as stupid people. You may have some of the people fooled but not everyone. All this reporting about the new president everymove is nothing but getting the people upset and excited, you people have never done so much reporting on any other president like this, yes, president Obama is a black president and why don't the news media give him and his family the same respect as you gave to the white president. This goes to show that prejuice will never leave the united states in this life time. EU we as I said before know what that is.
