According to DNC spokesman Hari Sevugan, these Democratic leaders, “will present the American people a handy 10-point blueprint for how the Republican-Tea Party would govern, based on actual positions taken and held by Republican-Tea Party members.” The blueprint includes repealing the health-care law, privatizing or phasing out Social Security, extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, repealing financial reform and abolishing the Education and Energy Departments.

Mr. [Rupert] Murdoch has a talent for making money, and I understand that their programming is geared toward making money.

The income distribution of the United States is far more unequal than most people realize. In fact it is so lopsided, it is hard to represent on a single graph. For more see http://www.lcurve.org.

The US population is represented along the length of the football field, arranged in order of income.

Median US family income (the family at the 50 yard line) is ~$40,000 (a stack of $100 bills 1.6 inches high.)

--The family on the 95 yard line earns about $100,000 per year, a stack of $100 bills about 4 inches high.

--At the 99 yard line the income is about $300,000, a stack of $100 bills about a foot high.

--The curve reaches $1 million (a 40 inch high stack of $100 bills) one foot from the goal line.

--From there it keeps going up...it goes up 50 km (~30 miles) on this scale!

Shirley Sherrod was wronged.

We do not need a Nanny State President Obama! Wanting doctors to report Americans BMI? It seems to me that this goes against the fouteenth amendment, recognizing our fundamental right to privacy, even if it is just children. A childs weight problem should be in the hands of the parents, not the government.

The government also wants to add more taxes to sodas and chips, where does it stop? When they find someone who is overweight are they going to order that person to lose weight?

I am all for losing weight and getting healthy but we do not need the government looking into our medical records and policing what we decide to eat.

I have just heard that the Obama Administration has given BP the green light to test the cap on the the oil leak. Lets hope and pray that it works and that this can finally come to an end. The draw back is that it will take years before the Gulf Shores get back to the way they were. I say thank you to whoever in the Obama Administration that gave BP the green light to go ahead. Let's hope it works!

Obama has given us progress, change, a direction. I'm asking any Republican or supporter, what are you offering that is better?
Health Care
Financial Reform
Stopping the Oil LEAK!

What you call the Liberal Media tells the true story, do Republicans have an alternative source that has the same respect at FOX or elsewhere?

In this Wallstreet Journal article you will see that President Obama had the chance to take action but chose not to. President Bush cannot be blamed for your choice not to act.

So President Obama you were right in saying that the blame is on you. You need to tell others in your administration this, like David Axelrod who loves to put all the blame on the Bush Administration.

I am glad that the unemployment numbers dropped to 9.5%. Although that is not a big drop, it was 9.7%, it shows continued improvement.

This is good in light of the Census workers who lost thier jobs. This could be because of workers that are hired during the Summer months for camps. I almost doubled the number of employees that we have for our Summer Day Camp program.

let's hope this is the beginning of a turn around in our economy. President Obama said this morning that "it is not happening fast enough for the American people."
