"...the United States needed to fundamentally change its approach to the Arab world, showing greater respect for its values and helping build a Palestinian state, if it hoped to overcome decades of pent-up anger."

Yeah, Yeah, we'll get right on it.

I hope Hillary Chamberlain is going to rescind our financial aid to Egypt and not try to kiss their ass.

The press can show someone picking roses or picking their nose.

CBS is a bastion of liberalism. Of course they will cut him slack.

Speaking of Iran

Baseball fans in NY or Boston can be pretty crazy at times but nowhere near as nasty as the those at an Iranian soccer match. The game was halted for a few minutes but shortly resumed. No big deal, I guess they're used to it. What a country.

That's nothing compared to South American soccer. Death is routine there not to mention the murder of the Colombian soccer player after he scored a goal for the wrong side. There are also the British soccer fans, hooligans who created mayhem in Europe.

For whatever the reasons Bush and Obama managed to push our national debt into outer space. Does it make a difference if it was by a wasteful war which accomplished little or by trying to spend our way out of a recession? The net result is the same. Now it's Obama turn to go home to Chicago. If Romney can avoid going to war with Iran (50/50), maybe he can start whittling it down or at least not add much to it. The Deomcrats and Republicans are so childish with their finger pointing and back and forth rhetoric.

Jim J, wishing there was a viable alternative party.

While Republicans tend to be better educated than Deomcrats you can come on down to the South and find some ignorant Republicans - there are plenty to be found. However, since poverty and ignorance (not intelligence or IQ) often go hand-in-hand, the Democrats win. I would also expect Stern to cherry-pick folks as is often done with the hilarious man-in-the-street interviews and polls.

The Democratic party is enslaving the vary people they claim they are saving.

You may not be a christian or religious in any way..but you cannot deny the truth spoken of in this video

The Deomcratic Party's platform is becoming more liberal with many stands contrary to conservative Christianity. Black christians are free to leave the Democratic party if they wish to do so. So why aren't they migrating to the Republican Party?

How Carter Beat Reagan

Darian Rachal said:

One of my fondest memories grin of the 1980 Reagan landslide was the 'stunned' expression on Dan Rather's face as the map of the US turned practically all 'red'; it was like he was in a state of shock, and I guess he probably really was. 8O

I'm hoping for an on air "double suicide" with Chris Matthews and Andrea Mitchell, this go round. wink

Obama's Dog Handler Makes $102K

Posted By Jim Johnson

Dave Snope said:

America's royal family continues it's unabetted abuse of the system:

The president’s dog gets its own high-paid staffer: “Bo made the news when he and his handler were flown to join the president on vacation in Maine,� Gray wrote about the Obama family dog. “It has been reported that the first family’s dog handler was paid $102,000, last year.�

Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.

In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.

Author Robert Keith Gray writes in “Presidential Perks Gone Royal� that Obama isn’t the only president to have taken advantage of the expensive trappings of his office. But the amount of money spent on the first family, he argues, has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in.

Gray told The Daily Caller that the $1.4 billion spent on the Obama family last year is the “total cost of the presidency,� factoring the cost of the “biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever,� a 50 percent increase in the numbers of appointed czars and an Air Force One “running with the frequency of a scheduled air line.�

“The most concerning thing, I think, is the use of taxpayer funds to actually abet his re-election,� Gray, who worked in the Eisenhower administration and for other Republican presidents, said in an interview with TheDC on Wednesday.

“The press has been so slow in picking up on this extraordinary increase in the president’s expenses,� Gray told TheDC.

Specifically, Gray said taxpayer dollars are subsidizing Obama’s re-election effort when he uses Air Force One to jet across the country campaigning.
