GUESS AGAIN!!! IT’S THE HEADLINES FOR ABCNews – April 18, 2009!!!
Does anyone else see bias agenda, lack of professionalism and just cheap entertainment in place of quality news reporting that is informative and without bias or sleeze? ABC, do a reality check-up – PLEASE!

George why are you not following up on some of the money that was put out for bill on some of these companys and report on what they are spending our money on? Also why isn’t the jobs going to roads instead I find its going on all kind of things and our roads have not got a dime. Why do we need to fund stuiped things our governer in Utah is put some of that money on a dam fence to hold out deer and elk instead he could put it into repairing our need Highways? is so dam wasteful!! whats up with all of this.

Huge fan.Would like to see and and hear more from you.

Gee Gayle,
If you want people to pay attention to your comments, try using proper grammar and spelling.

Although i do think the quality of news reporting in our country is really bad, I do have to respond to the person above who posted quotes. I want back to check, and the quotes are all from the entertainment section.
But really, Oprah on twitter is newsworthy?

1)Can you please ask Rahm how or what he did to make over $20 million in 2 years on Wall St?
2)Can you ask Rahm what the Obama admin would have done on 9/10/2001 if they had KSM in custody and knew he had knowledge of the impending attack the next day, yet wouldn’t talk?
And to follow up,would they have gone out to the podium and told the American people that, despite the carnage, our moral principles were upheld because we didn’t waterboard KSM?

I thought the news was supposed to be unbias. ABC once again is showing their bias towards the left. It is amazing that they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. I now get my news from the fair and unbiased Fox News!

Sorry ABC, the day that Oprah decided to use her popularity to support a socialist candidate for president, we stopped watching her on TV and stopped buying the products of those who finance her show.

Thanks for asking, George! I would like to know what the administration is going to do with regard to credit card companies and capping the fees and interest rates that they can charge, because logically, it follows that people will be leaning on their credit cards as times get tough economically. That can snowball out of control quickly for people, if fees and rates are allowed to just go up and up.

Can extra taxes help the economy return to its normal pace? Too much taxes for too many unemployed in this country!

J House – You are right in your assessment and it is imperative to understand the reason why such a desperate action had to be implemented.
I am going to go through your argument point by point.
I will try and explain my point from my background as an accountant.Financial Reporting has been an area which has proven to be quite difficult in coming to an international agreement hence the false accounting and reporting.
1) America has something good to her advantage – people and moreso stability and the unlimited resources to bounce back never underestimate that.
In accounting terminology there comes a time when this debts are written off – I am going to keep it simple and not go further-
2)The bailout for those industries was necessary to keep them afloat as you must have learnt some of them are slowly showing signs of recovery. What the Government failed to assess was the extent of human greed and human motives.
In Economics according to Keynes there comes a time for intervention- this happens to be one of those times – The banks lost trust in each other and were more or less going to hold the country to ransom by not loaning each othe money and the Government had to step in.
The banks when healthy again will be returning the money.
3) I couldn’t agree more but we have got to be realistic – most jobs created by the Govenment doesn’t pay much – but jobs it does create, it gives one a sense of dignity and purpose. I work for a private sector and at times I wonder why no one appears to be bothered about how much one gets paid – knowing full well that the salary you are earning could also benefit another family if renumeration were fairly assesed and paid. If that were a possibilty imagine how many more people would be encouraged to pursue their dreams.
I am nt saying the Governments actions have been right to date but one thing I am cetain about is that they have the right intentions – tough decisions for now but in the long term I am sure more people would see the wisdom in some of the Governments decision.
Righr now my analogy would be that of a wild fire which needs to all the water or whatever to stop the fire spreading by. I can assure you that this Government would see to it that the factors that created the upset are removed.
I am an Independent but for once in a long time I am now understanding politics and I do thank President Obama for that and in all sincerity I do understand what he is trying to accomplish. -
Please bear in mind that my frame of reference has been accounting and economics
In the meantime can all be patient and remain optimistic.

Please ask why they can’t have a tax of 10% straight accross the board? We will never really fix it. Or it would hurt the rich! We are so over taxed.

Ask Rahm why do the banks get billions of our taxpayer dollars and all my 86 year old mother gets is two hundred and fifty dollars. I find that insulting.

Please ask someone how Bank of America can receive bailout money from the taxes I pay and then turn around and increase the APR on my credit card? Am I paying Bank of America more money so they can pay back the bailout loan or pay bonuses to Executives? Will the government take those loan recovery monies and decrease my taxes? I feel as if I keep paying and paying and paying for bad decisions and greedy corporations.

yep, I studied hard, and I can spell ‘dissent’ and ‘assemble’…my bluetooth keyboard just sucks.

Since when is having moms and children at rallies a sign for non racist activity??? That’s complete nonsense. What? Only guys are racists??? I would think that the signs those protesters held up, which were targeted directly at President Obama, and reflected racism LOUD and CLEAR reflected the overall sentiment!

ChrisB,
You mean signs like ‘no more bailouts’ and ‘don’t tax me bro’?
I saw one sign in Atlanta that was critical of Obama said ‘who is barry sotero?’…that is racist?
Osama bin lyin? that is racist? What does that sign have to do with Obama (I never saw it among the thousands of anti-tax and spend signs I did see.)
You are clueless…even the liberal AJC didn’t find racism in the protests…wonder why?
Go to Flickr and READ the signs yourself…when you can find a racist one from the Atlanta rally, please post the link here.
Prove to the other posters that I must be lying.
There is no point tryng to convince you anyway…you don’t want to argue facts.

Jacq,
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘when we become friends’?
Do you know we already buy Ven. oil by the millions of barrels? We’re friends, alright.
Ven. is no threat to the U.S. Chavez is no threat to the U.S. (that is why Bush ignored him)
If it makes you feel good to see the US President play friends with folks like Chavez, then by all means, feel good about it.
All in all, it doesn’t make a bit of difference whether he likes us or not.
U.S. needs Ven oil….Ven needs US dollars.
We’ll see where playing nice with the leaders of Iran and NK get us…that DOES make a difference.
Last time I checked, NK just threw out UN nuclear inspectors and are planning to increase their nuclear stockpile.
Looks like the ball is in the President’s court.

Hello. I have always admired Mr. Stephanopoulos but today my stomach is turning today. I’m viewing the April 19, 2009, roundtable and hearing each of the commentators referring to President Barack Obama as simply ‘Obama’. The only commentator calling him President Obama is Sam Donaldson. Why is this? Also I noticed he’s referred to as ‘Obama’ a lot on this website.

Oprah on Twitter..and so what?
I see a person, with 543,943 Followers, and she follows ONLY …10 people? And one of them it’s you? Why?
For promotion, right?
Dear Sir, that’s ridiculousness.
Even you, with 450,030 Followers, are you Following just 8,251 only.
In Greece (because your names origin is from Greece) we call it “Υπεροψία”, that means “arrogance”, and that’s not Cool.
Have a nice day.
