The main stream news media in this country does not live up to its responsibility to keep the people informed, and separate the rascals from the obviously biased individuals in our society who are the first to give lip-service to loud and garrulous pronouncements of patriotism when cloaking their evil deeds in that flimsy fabric, but when it comes to others they quickly deny that possibility exist. When the main stream news media is hesitant or just plain reluctant to report the truth from the lies it results in a misinformed citizenry who only get their news from such as Fox 10 which spews lies about death panels and birtherism. If these jug heads who daily disrespect and disparage their president were so patriotic, they would realize that they undermine the credibility of this country in the eyes of the other nations around the globe when it comes time to negotiate with them and shows us as a less credible and less desirable trading partner. Hatred is a disease which is seated in the brain and feeds upon its host until it is thoroughly consumed. If only the haters would realize that state of mind undermines their health and well-being. They would wake up one morning and find that throbbing headache has suddenly disappeared and the possibility of attaining Heaven is now real. Know for sure that life is short and our six feet under is one more step away. " For whom the bells toll, it tolls for thee."

We the people realize what Obama has been trying to do and we know who is responsible for the mess we are in. Congress is owned by the 1% and they are trying to do everything in their power to prevent good things to happen to the 99% of their constituents who are depending on them for their life changing economic fairness. They cannot relate as to how a fair salary with security changes familys' every day lives. They use filibusters to screw us from getting anything done. I am embarrassed, enraged and have gotten literally sick from aggrevating the past few years over what is going on (yes, cancer). I have three nieces who were orphaned at 10, 12 and 14. Know what Ronnie Reagan did to them in 1980? I know how families struggle.

He has spent most of his time doing triage on our economy. Everyone seems to think that with the bailout and other financial programs that we would return to a life of excess like we had. News Flash: It kept us from falling off a cliff into an abyss. Unlike the Bush administrations "go spend money", this was a little deeper and harder to sort out. Go watch "too big to fail" if you want to have an idea of how quickly all this happened, then come up with a better plan.

When President Obama does good, the Republicans scream "bloody murder" on him. When Prez Obama came to office, unemployment was on a freefall. Junior Bush was doing NOTHING FOR THE ECOMONY, he was wasted President who cares about the 1percent and no one else.
President Obama should give all the credit for ecomony, especially for helping out the auto industry. But as long there are "ignorant and stupid" Republicans and Tea Parties whose intelligence is small as a pea, well it will continue. I give kokos to President Obama. He deserves all the credit, but it comes back to the color of his skin, PERIOD!!!

President Obama doesn't get any credit from the Republicans, they would just as soon he weren't around. By the way, those yahoos in the House who do nothing with their time but bring up Obamacare for the 41st time, they take a 5 week vacation after doing NOTHING all year long. Would we get by with this in any job we had??? No way, maybe it's time we threw the yokels out and let them find a job for $10 an hour with no benefits. See how they could live--not very long--we need to get behind President Obama and put people back to work so our economy will be better for all not just the 1%.

Ed, Your opening segment analysis of the earnings disparity in the US was absolutely brilliant! Sensible, substantive, and compassionate -- just like you! If the Democratic strategists had any brains (which I question sometimes), they would simply clone you, bottle up your message, and distribute it to every household in America. So glad you're back - keep up the great work!

Of course not!!! The Re-thug-licans apparently are doing a very good job of BSing the American people with the crap they are selling. We MUST turn this around and take back our country from the scumbags who are trying to plunder it for the benefit of the rich and the super-rich--starting in 2014.
