On “World News,” Bianna Golodryga interviewed billionaire Warren Buffett and his secretary about their role in the debate over taxes — and I talked about the president’s pitch live from Arizona:

There is no way this man will be re-elected even with ABC’s help. Whether you’re a repub, dem, independent or moderate you are paying more for medical, food, gas, insurance, housing, clothes, college, etc…that is if you have a job that earns you enough to pay for anything. America has nothing less than blood boiling rage for this fruad and the democrat party that has helped him tear down and tear apart our country. He will be defeated in the largest landslide blowout in history.

Nonsense. Over 46% of Americans APPROVE of the job the President is doing. Over 3 million jobs have been added since Obama’s policies hit full stride. Oil production in the country is up. Green energy production in the country is up. GM is back at the #1 car company in the world! Bin Laden is dead. Kaddafhi is gone. All of the world including Russia and China are onside against Iranian nuclear development. The stock market has gone up hugely since Obama’s policies began to kick in.

You’re more accurate describing the Republican George W. Bush and the American people’s attitude towards him.

Wonder how Buffett’s secretary feels about being used as a class-warfare prop by oBama and Buffett. I guess that was Warren’s payback to oBama for killing the Keystone pipeline that benefits him.

If you were interested enough or bright enough or genuine enough to actually research and learn (like for instance watch what she says in the video posted in this Political Punch blog that you’re ‘commenting’ on), you’d know she feels good about standing up for fairness. She knows full well she shouldn’t be taxed at 35% while the superrich make millions each year and are only taxed at 15%.

Maybe Michelle doesn’t have 16 hours a day to do research. Maybe she has a family, friends, a career, community commitments, hobbies, etc.

If you’re as bright as you claim, why aren’t you rich?

Really? Then why haven’t YOU had a job Obama’s entire term?

Poor Bob. His posts are so lame. At least you’ve quite trying to call people names all the time cause you got caught and put in your place so many times.

Hey Jake. If you are not aware, there is an administrative hearing today in Georgia in re to Obama’s placement on the states ballot. Obama’s attorney, MICHAEL JABLONSKI, filed a motion to quash several subpoenas several days ago. Judge Michael Malihi denied the motion and in which doing so created some headlines “Obama Ordered to Appear in Court”.

Yesterday Obama’s attorney sent a letter to the Secretary of State asking him in his capacity to cancel the hearing. He also informed the Secretary of State that neither him nor Obama would participate in this administrative hearing to which the SOS shot back a letter and said,

“Anything you and your client place in the record in response to the challenge will be beneficial to my review of the initial decision; however, if you and your client choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril.

I certainly appreciate you contacting me about your concerns, and thank you for your attention to this
matter.”

Me Thinks you guys should get a news truck over there. Sounds like it’s gonna be a circus.

Did another Republican start whining about class warfare? -after the Republicans have been shoveling wealth up the income ladder to the very top for the last 30 years, and all at the expense of working Americans? -time for another little number for you………………

First, I agree the tax code needs to be fixed, but Warren Buffets secretary is an “average citizen”? REALLY! If she paid at the 35% tax rate her taxable income was over $300,000. Thats average? It was a good sound bite but why didn’t the reporter call them on that?

“Yesterday Obama’s attorney sent a letter to the Secretary of State”

Democrats have targeted the Secretary of State position around the country. because you can win more elections with a populist message and a friendly Secretary of State than you can with a populist message.

Warren Buffets Secretary pays the exact same amount of Capitol Gains Tax as he does.

For every dollar that a member of President Obama’s campaign finance committee contributed to his campaign, that member’s company has received nearly $25,000 from the Obama administration. How’s that for a return on investment? — Peter Schweizer’s Throw Them All Out

Gillian, what dream world are you living in, Russia and China ARE NOT on our side, but support the Iranians, GM is only in the eyes of the government #1 Volts actual cost is $250000 per car, so the taxpayer subsidies it with $210000 per car. 10 more government backed Solar companies are going bankrupt, 800000 manufacturing and 1.6 million jobs have been lost since this administration took office. Gas prices went up from $1.80 to over $4.00 utility prices doubled. Health insurance went up by at least 50%, welfare recipients went up drastically, we went 5trillion dollar more into the hole, but all is fine and dandy in your world and improving.

well there shouldn’t be any big surprises there. our companies win because our government subsidizes our solar industry with the equivalent of BILLIONS of dollars. You should keep subsidizing oil though.

GM retakes ‘world’s largest automaker’ title from Toyota

Roaring back from bankruptcy reorganization, General Motors has retaken the title of world’s top-selling automaker. Volkswagen was second and Toyota, which had been No. 1, in previous years, fell to third.

General Motors took the top spot by selling just over 9 million cars and trucks across the globe, the Associated Press reports. Fast-growing Volkswagen had 8.2 million and Toyota, devastated by Japan’s earthquake and tsunami in March, sold 7.9 million. (USA Today)
