‘This Week’ EXCLUSIVE: White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod

Ask Axelrod how the administration thinks it has handled Wall Street. Ask if he believes some people responsible for the financial meltdown should not face charges. Ask if he thinks the administration is doing enough to assure Main Street that Wall Street is dealt with sternly and appropriately.

George,
Please ask him what Obama’s admin considers “fair days pay for a fair days’ work” as applied to Wall Street.

Ask why has Congress voted themselves a second raise in two years. Shouldn’t minimum wage be raised so We the People can spend?

AND here is the KEY paragraph. BUT OF COURSE the LAP DOG media wont report it.
According to the Federal Election Commission, he is a generous contributor to Democratic candidates and causes. The FEC said he made over $87,000 in contributions to President Barack Obama’s campaign, the Democratic National Committee and various campaigns on behalf of Hillary Rodham Clinton, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer and New Jersey U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez in the past five years. The Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog group, said he has given a total of $118,000 since 2004 — all but one contribution, for $5,000, to Democrats.

I wish George would stop having conservatives like Peggy Noonan and George Will at his round table discussions. They are both pretty out of touch with the mainstream and reflect the old-school privileged white Eastern viewpoint. If George wants to get some new young viewers, he is going to have to find some intelligent, creative minds who don’t say the same thing they’ve been saying for the past 30 years. David Brooks is better. Andrew Sullivan is better. There’s got to be someone better than George and Peggy who could be on this show. They need to retire, along with Pat Buchanan. They are just the same old same old.

Wall Street was “betting and insuring” assets THAT WERE NOT THERE. Corrected from my last statement.

Why doesn’t George ask the tough questions of Axelrod? Obama/Congress allowed some of the largest Wall St banks to pay back their TARP money hence losing the controls on outrageous compensation – then those banks went elsewhere(FED?) where they could borrow money without strings – once again the government chose a special interest group over the general public’s welfare – NOTHING has been done on the compensation plans – once again the government stick turns out to be nothing more than a limp noodle… shame, shame

Ed Taylor, I suppose your not an eastern white are you? You must be some sort of hate monger then like southern whites? Is what you really mean to say, “I wish these white republicans were not getting their voice heard so much because I really disagree with them. Just because you don’t understand does not mean other people are in the wrong. Try wrapping your thoughts around other viewpoints that might not be so inviting at first, but with thought and common sense, actually have a basis in fact and historical lessons.

Watching today the 18th and George Will’s comment snide or otherwise regard the stimulous check we with SS and no COLA will get was rude and unthinking. I always watch THIS WEEK especially the round table but this coment was unthinking for me. For the first time since being on SS and my monthly net income is $972.57. After bills being paid in full each month and now with no COLA for at least one year I had to apply for food stamps. And I am 80 years young, even embarrassed to let it be known about the food stamps. Only problem here, as of yet I don’t know if I will get more than the ‘mimimum’ which is $16.00 a month. How can the government believe anyone can stretch that through 30 days. But in the arena I’ll take whatever I get as in any port in the storm and am looking foward to seeing that stimulous and it will go into my very very meager savings account. When I hear about all these zillions of dollars going to these CEO’s it makes me sick as well as hearing that congress is giving themselves and their staff a raise???
