Biden Reflects on Grief, Suicidal Thoughts 
Is Congress Sounding Dumber?
That should be an interesting show to watch. Wonder if Rep. Boehner will give the only answers he is capable of giving on your show:
NO and tax reductions this and tax reductions that…

President Obama is the most visible chief executive I’ve seen in my 35 years. While I enjoy and appreciate hearing his point of view from the “horse’s mouth,” I wonder if he runs the risk of jading the general public. At some point (and I fear the point is quickly approaching), the national audience may become jaded to his rhetoric and change the channel. Maybe an interesting question for Rahm Emanuel…

Yes, we have already changed the channel. George is so in love with Obama that he is like a little kid. He is just not worth watching any more and we will not and that is many of us. Cokie Roberts needs to get a new life. What you need to do is watch Fox News. Stephanopolus was in the Clinton administration and now he certainly should be in the Obama administration, because he learned to lie with the best of them.

So let me get this straight -
- Obama goes to Europe to apologize for and denigrate America.
- Obama bows to his Saudi king and benefactor, and lies about it when he notices Americans object to his submission.
- Obama refuses to visit Normandy, where so many Americans gave up their lives for liberty and to save Euros from themselves, because he didn’t want to OFFEND the Germans.
- Obama goes to Turkey, backs down from mentioning the Armenian genocide, goes to a mosque, removes his shoes, and more than likely stuck his ass in the air.
- Obama puts out a report targeting large swaths of Americans as ‘extemists’ to be monitored.
- Obama speaks at Georgetown, a JESUIT university, and TELLS them to hide all religious symbols? /

Looks like an interesting show- just want to add amongst the anti-president rhetoric that Obama is doing such a superb job transitioning this country from the dark days of the Bush era.
This president has done more in his first 100 days than any other pres. even if you don’t agree with everything – He brings light to the world but you have to OPEN your eyes to see it!!

Can George please let the President know that my family holds him up in prayer – and to say THANK YOU.Most importantly thank you ———-
And ABC news thank you for respecting the President of the United States – no doubt you don’t all agree with his ideas but you do respect him and that for me is tops.
I have often wondered why someone like the President would go into politics but the relity is that we need more good men and women like him

OMG
Your ridiculous rhetoric serves as a frightening example of what happens when one only listens to F(ixed)OX “News”!
Please! Get your facts straight before posting such outrageously incorrect sound bites from the FOX echo chamber!
Posted by: ChrisB | April 17, 2009, 6:30 pm 6:30 pm
Can you suggest to Boehner that he is acting like a school bully. Bullies tend to push and shove before asking questions and understanding the other person. He’s presenting a bad example to younger people who may be listening to him. Whether you like Pres. Obama or not, lets listen and learn to compromise and help make our country, our world better.

Ask Rahm Emanuel why the White House felt it was necessary to release documents regarding Bush administration’s treatment of terrorist inmates. Was it to distract the American people from the real issues facing us right now?
Posted by: Jim | April 17, 2009, 7:43 pm 7:43 pm
and may I just add one quick comment on the treatment of terrorist inmates…my fellow Americans, is it so soon that you forget 911?…my God..these terrorists torture and kill their own people, let alone ours….what should we do…put them up in a hotel with accommodations..please!!!!

Spitzer was on Morning Joe with great ideas about financial regulatory reform. WH should appoint him as financial regulattory reform czar.

I love these hypocrite posters who wonder why there is dissent. You haters had Bush Derangement Syndrome and I had to listen to you vent for 8 years. Now it’s my turn. 5 years ago this president was pulling a Blago in Illinois as a state legislator. He has never run anything. He has spent more money in 100 days than the previous 43 did their entire administrations. He has apologized to every country in the world for us defending and standing up with them. He has put war veterans on watch lists. He has never stood up against anything or for anything if it is a fight. The guy is an appeaser who is putting this country in danger and George S. is the biggest ass kisser in the media today.

Dear Barry – you do not appear to be a nice person and please keep your poor lanquage to yourself and have some decency and manners.
George, I think that you do try to be unbiased and present both sides of an issue. Thank you.
Posted by: Cathie | April 18, 2009, 12:03 pm 12:03 pm
Wow some of these comments are tough.
I feel you are unbiased.
I will keep watching “This Week”.

Please ask Rahm how or what he did to make $20 million in 2 yrs on Wall St.
Didn’t the President himself say Wall St pay was part of the problem?
Can you ask Rahm that, had we caught KSM and had him in custody on 9/10 and knew he had knowledge of the 9/11 attack but wouldn’t talk, would we have waterboarded him to get him to tell us?
And to follow up, would the President have then gone out to the podium and explained to the American people that, despite nearly 3,000 killed in an hour and a half, we upheld our principles and we still have moral authority over our enemy?
Posted by: J House | April 18, 2009, 10:44 pm 10:44 pm
The President has the audacity to hope that that moment never comes

I really felt the need for another perspective than the one offered on the panel this morning. I guess editorials have been written about how out of touch this particular Round Table is; and it is not necessarily about their ages. The best I can say about the group this morning is that at least I know how the upper 1% earners view the world. It was laughable to hear them talk about the tea parties and pontificate about what the American people are thinking.

If I understand what has happened this week with regard to climate change the Administration has said that I will need to buy the right to exhail from a windmill power co. But the Republicans in congress say no way let the Chinease and Indians stop exhailing and stop their cows from passing gass too.Everything old is new again The UN wanted New Zeland to put catalitic converters on their sheep a while back too.
Posted by: N.Jay | April 19, 2009, 12:50 pm 12:50 pm
John Boehner sounded like a corporate politician. If it was up to him, lets not do anything about green house gasses. Say it were looting. Well, India’s doing it along with other countries, so why should we stop? His values are purely fiscal, where is his moral conviction or ecological responsibility? remember lobbying rule 101. You don’t have to prove that you’re right, just that the other guy might be wrong. It makes me sick

On the subject of Torture – We do have the Geneva Convention Articles to guide behavior – Are we looking to update these?If we start having Presidents define what we should or shouldnt do we are institutionalizing their direction? IF there is a list – is it ok to do things that are not on the list?See where this can go? If we decided to hold a General Accountable for Abu Ghraib, why would we now, not hold our higher military and politicians, accountable for ordering torture actions. If we want soldiers to ‘think’ and understand if ever ordered to conduct an act outside the military articles…. then now, not being held accountable by our President, is not the way to deliver that message to our young military.

George, You let Emanuel slap you around. You should be just as tough on him as you are on republicans. It might give you more credibility in the future.
