what a way to wake up

anastasia: I'll say one thing,Obama is bound to make enough mistakes during his presidency,these flawed appointments could have been avoided.Why he's giving his opponents freebies baffles me

Czuch: I'd normally agree with you on this one,but Hudson lost 3 members of her family recently in a savage attack,if heart and soul have any value,she delivered

Artful Dodger: I've always been a fan of the KISS method

" you know the Germans always make good stuff"

Artful Dodger: If you really want to improve your "image in the world"................hire Vince(the sham wow guy) as Sec of State

Czuch: People tend to confuse "global warming" with "heat"...............a cold winter and the nay sayers feel the argument has been quashed.I'm not completely sold on the "global warming prophacy,but the unusually cold and stormy winter we are enduring is not a valid argument,quite the contrary actually.I can understand how some may think "hey,if it was a warm winter you'd also say it validates the argument,you want it both ways"

The truth is,our very erratic weather patterns are example enough.

Artful Dodger: The Wrath of Gore

Artful Dodger: It will give you more credability when you pounce on his policies later

Artful Dodger: I second that emotion

Czuch: I personally think you can kiss any return on your investment goodbye.I'm not even sure the Iraqi govt is in your corner as much as has been depicted by the BUSH tenure.If I put myself in the position of someone who to this day supports the whole Iraq experience,I'd be mad as hell at there luke warm support.Didn't they recently state the USA would not get preferential treatment in the oil contracts? for that alone I'd send them back to the stonage

Czuch: And may I add,it wasn't just Democrats who wanted to leave Iraq...............I think there were other options available once it was determined to be bad judgement.Other nations might have been agreeable to a different direction,and helped stabalize the situation.........it just always seemed to me like a gambler who had blown their money,but kept doubling up the bets to recoup what they originally arrived at the casino with.Where's the Iraq oil money that was supposed to help in the operation? Think of all the billions spent in Iraq that would be so valuable now

Czuch: So,you think Democrats wanted to leave Iraq to make Bush look bad,and not due to the thousands of lives being lost after it was determined the initial threat and reason for war was false? GOOD GOD

Czuch: I disagree,Bush's support didn't start to REALLY plummet until after the war began.Once the public came to realise how much they'd been misled on so many levels,he tanked.

Democrats supported the war,but only based on what they were fed as facts.

Czuch: Yes,so basically he only hopes he succeeds by implimenting a Republican agenda.It seems he'd be unhappy with a flourishing USA if it is achieved by a liberal agenda

anastasia: Limbaugh's feelings on success,he basically says he only wants Obama to succeed if he rules with a Republican agenda,regardless of the country doing well under Obama's watch.

Charles Martel: He'll have his share,I won't be surprised at all by the inevitable backlash when people learn he's flesh and blood and can't walk on water.

Artful Dodger: I've heard experts suggest otherwise,regardless,he took away the toy,he has much bigger fish to fry

Artful Dodger: He took the oath again strictly to short curcuit the usual suspects who latch onto these types of things,it happens in both parties.He has much more important issues on his plate.This had the potential to create needless white noise.

If he'd said it jokingly,it would be no big deal,but he pursues it with a straight face.

Ted Kennedy was taken out of the Statuary Hall luncheon after suffering an apparent seizure -- a few minutes after Sen. Robert Byrd was removed in his wheelchair under the supervision of medical personnel.

"He was there when the voting rights act passed….so I would be lying to you if I did not say that right now a part of me is with him, I think that’s true for all of us," Obama told dignitaries gathered at his Congressional lunch . "It’s a joyous time but it’s also a sobering time..My prayers are with him and his family."

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who attended the lunch, said he had heard Kennedy was "doing better," citing Kennedy's fellow Massachusetts Democrat John Kerry.

House Chaplain Daniel Coughlin, who observed Kennedy's treatment by paramedics, said he appeared to be conscious and "responding" to treatment.

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) said Kennedy's hand began shaking and he appeared to have "seizure" or "a stroke" and was almost immediately helped by emergency personnel.

Byrd was conscious and had been having trouble eating, according to a witness.

Kennedy, who underwent brain cancer surgery last year, was taken to the Rayburn room after suffering an apparent convulsion before being rushed to a hospital, House officials told our Patrick O'Connor.

A police radio picked up a call for paramedics to help someone stricken with a seizure, O'Connor said

Czuch: Obama is smart,he is going to try and steamroll his agenda by gathering bi partisan support,and those who stand in the way will be considered to be standing in the way of American progress.

unite an conquer

This is the way to being to bridge the gap,good for Obama

Artful Dodger: I think you give too too little acknowledgement to the value of nuance in a presentation, Fox is Fox,according to you they're very misunderstood.I happen to think the general view of their presentation is in the ballpark.Where do you see Fox leaning?

Artful Dodger: And I'm still waiting for a proper explanation of the film 2001

Artful Dodger: You're far too diplomatic in your opinions

I don't know if I agree with being lumped into your "anti-Fox" gang.I often watch Fox,now and again I'm on board with their slant,(such as the present war in Gaza)but I've rarely come across anyone who isn't aware of the "slant" liberal or republican.I suppose I'm a "tweener" these days,so save the Coulter shtick for a hardcore lib

I don't think libs are the only ones underwhelmed by GW''s act

Artful Dodger: Rather blew it,it was sad to see,but it shouldn't diminish his entire career.Yes Rather didn't have the proper airtight background when he went out on a limb,but I don't think anyone doubts Bush was a weekend warrior with very little interest in serving in the military.

Artful Dodger: Yes,I intended to say counter balance to Hannity.It seems to me that the only reason people get worked up about Fox News is due their need to deny their right wing leanings.Who cares? do they think it somehow discredits their opinions?

It eems to drive both them (and you) nuts

Artful Dodger: Colmes is also gone now from prime time,they didn't replace him with a liberal counter balance.You can find studies till the cows come home,any intelligent individual who has watched both MSNBC and Fox(for a fair amount of time) can sense their leanings,it's not even subtle

Artful Dodger: Fox/MSNBC can be tossed out as a wash,concerning left/right leanings

Czuch: I saw him discuss,and make the same points on air at around 5pm est.I searched CNN to find the The McCafferty File section and he discusses it on his blog also

ABC has this report

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Inauguration/story?id=6665946&page=1

Czuch: Your post was almost a direct quote from The McCafferty File on CNN tonite.Do you consider CNN right wing?

Artful Dodger: once you begin to alter your lifestyle due to fear, the terrorists will have won.

Artful Dodger: re: "We as a society want to protects our personal lives so much that we are willing to allow for bad things to happen, to protect individual lives"

but is life worth living in a cage?

Artful Dodger: I consider this nutty

Artful Dodger: re:Yeah but what does the flat earth have to do with Coulter?

Did you intended to toss me such a gift?

Well first of all he,..........nah,it's not worth it

Pedro Martínez:

Artful Dodger: the earth is round

Artful Dodger: Oh come on

I'm a pretty open minded guy,The Drudge Report is my launch page,but Coulter is off the rails nutty compared to both Huffinton's page or personal outlook

Artful Dodger: I'll give you that,.........but I was refering to Huffington being as nutty as Coulter

Charles Martel: You're kidding,........right?

(V): I was half expecting you to say that shortly after they moved to the other pub a bomb exploded at the previous one.

Czuch: You sound conflicted

(V): I thought they just closed the pubs earlier,problem solved

Artful Dodger: W're on the same page on this topic,I know the guy you're speaking of,I've heard him many times but his names escapes me.It really turned my stomach when he mentioned how SOME Arab schools teach young children hate filled anti Jewish songs,they are raised to hate from infancy,the cycle must end!

Artful Dodger:

"They are fanitical murderers and the only thing they understand is the gun."

Sad but true,and peace puts them out of a job

Artful Dodger: trusted by whom? was a poll taken
