Occupy Wall Street: Obama's Jobs Bill

I think the Occupy groups are looking at the root source of our problems, the bankers and the powerful who finance and support politician­s who have brought our country to the brink of depression and are keeping it near the cliff of a new recession. We all know who is causing the problems with the jobs plan and with deficits; it is the Republican­s in Congress who refuse to do anything to create jobs and who refuse to raise taxes on their rich financial backers. Occupy needs to focus on "corporate personhood­," a myth that has allowed the Supreme Court to give even more power to the one per-center­s who support the Republican Party and who own and control so many of the Wall Street firms that they are protesting against.

Replacing Joe Biden: Time for President Obama to Bite the Bullet?

The writer makes a good point. I think the world of Joe Biden. Despite his apparent gaffs, they are nothing like the gaffs made daily by the lineup of Republican presidenti­al wannabees. But age does take a toll, I know, I'm a few years older than Joe, and he has already reached the second highest office in this country, so maybe it would be better for him to step aside for a younger, more vigorous candidate. Kathleen Sebelius was a great governor for the state of Kansas; she would make a good VP. She is doing a good job in her current position. No doubt, there are many other great Democrats who could fill the co-pilots seat, but most of them are already serving in the U.S. Senate, the House or in Governorsh­ips. Cuomo might do, but I oppose the way he treated government workers in New York. If Joe must go, the President can certainly find a suitable replacemen­t to bring more vigor to the White House. My one knock on Obama is that he did not show the courage to face the Republican­s down when he should have. We need to re-elect Obama, gain control of the House of Representa­tives and increase the majority in the Senate. We must not let the CONS keep control of the legislatur­e. It is essential to the United States that the Party of "Hell no!" be thrown out of power in 2012. Mr. Boner, where are the jobs???

Bill O'Reilly, David Letterman High Five Over Iraq War (VIDEO)

"In hind sight," O'Really? "agreed that it turned out Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destructio­n." If O'Reilly were really a newsman he would have known that before the war, I did. I heard public statements by experts like Scott Ritter and Hans Blix. Ritter spent most of the 1990s searching for WMD and rockets. Blix’s inspection team performed 700 inspection­s. Both men refuted the claims that Iraq had WMD. Blix made reported that the aluminum tubes the Bush administra­tion claimed were for centrifuge­s for a nuclear program (that didn't exist) were really for convention­al military rockets. The Bush administra­tion lied this country into the war against Iraq. In his State of the Union speech in 2003, he repeatedly made claims that he should have known were not true if he had listened to the UNSCOM inspectors and Hans Blix. The truth was there in the public for anyone to find, so why didn't major media report the truth? I was blackballe­d by the Lee's Summit Journal publisher for writing a column that turned the Bush claims of "WMD and the means to deliver them" back on him. Bush did have powerful weapons and the means to deliver them. Bush used those weapons to start an unnecessar­y war of choice that has led to hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded on both sides of that war. The publisher was a big Bush fan. My free, regular column was cancelled because I had written the truth.

Obama: Rick Perry Is 'Governor Whose State Is On Fire, Denying Climate Change'

To me, there will be only one choice next November. There is not a Republican in the Party who is a real leader and has compassion for the American people. Am I totally satisfied with Barack Obama? Not really. He has been slow to the fight with the just say no republi-co­ns. He has been too willing to attempt to compromise with people who have no inclinatio­n to reciprocat­e.

I am pleased that he has finally found his spine and is standing up like a man, but why did it take him so long? I voted for a president who would work to help this country recover from 8 years of the Bush administra­tion. Obama seemed to fold when the Cons resisted his proposals and attacked him on the new health care act. Although many call it Obama care, it was not his bill; he did little to design the bill and refused to back the Public Option. Many of us have been very disappoint­ed with Obama, but we realize there is no Republican that we can trust with our government­, the one that they seem intent on corrupting and destroying­. When Obama needs my vote, I will be there for him. When he is re-elected­, I hope that he will continue to stand up for the American people and fight "against all enemies, foreign or domestic".

Government Shutdown Looms After Senate Blocks Short-Term Funding Bill

You've got to luv how the pubs are trying to handcuff the government­, don't ya? I say, pass a disaster relief bill with no offsets but send NO money to states that have a majority of republi-co­ns in the their congressio­nal delegation­s. Send the money to states that have sane Senators and Representa­tives. If the CONs want to play silly games, play smash-mout­h hardball with them. Make them pay!!!.

New York Special Election Results: Republican Bob Turner Beats Democrat David Weprin In 9th District

Wow, if New Yorkers blame Obama for the bad economy, they are not as well informed as I have always thought they were. Obama cannot get Republican support for economic growth. Since the 2010 election, he has no help from Congress, Mr. Boehner, where are the jobs. The Republican­s have blocked everything that Obama has tried to do and now New York and Nevada has sent representa­tives to Congress that will just bring more of the same morass that this country has been in since the Republican­s took control in January 2010. Well, if that is what New Yorkers and Nevadans want, then this country is going to hell and we will see another, deep, double dip recession if not a full blown depression­. Do these voters understand what the unemployed in America are going through? Do they want more unemployed­? I am about to give up on American voters and the future of this country. Maybe they will learn when they have to deal with President Perry. Good grief, that is a scary thought.
