just curiosity, was Capt. Beau Biden drawing two salaries while he was serving as Attorney General, and Capt.? There are those who retire from a local government (either, state, county, city, etc.) with 6 figure pensions and are rehired for their previous jobs with full pay. I see nothing wrong with it in a private corporation, but have reservations about it when done with tax payer funding. does any one know this answer. and no I am not a Republican.

Political power is no joking matter; especially since it potentially affects you and I. Although we can't all be expected to be as intellectually astute as some proclaim to be, we should all be vigilent in ascertaining the truth. We should not let ourselves be taken for fools. Take the time and the effort to find out the facts in every situation, rather than just jump on the partisan bandwagon. Democracy can only be effective where there is an informed electorate. Do your own research rather than take the word of so called 'political experts.' Don't be a partisan 'chump.'

How many times have we heard that one on CNN? BUT - How many times did we hear about the members of Obama's cabinet who actually PAID taxes honestly? Not too much. Obama has apologized to every Muslim nation on earth - but we don't see it on MSNBC. Makes ya wonder don't it?

How do you apologise for that, in some way we actually murdered innoccent people how is that different from the Tower's when these people were not in any way connected to what happened to the towers. They did have a Tyrant running their Country did that mean they should die as well. We owe more than an apology for that mistake

I don't know if the liberal media has ever mentioned it. These double standards seem to be standard, business as usual, Democratic politics. Also, Ms. O'Donnell admits to being a Christian. Mr. Obama hasn't joined a Church yet. Let's compare fairly here.

Problem is that the Democrats had been the majority party in both the Senate and House since January 2007. Here we have O'Donnell and a joke about Witchcraft.People seem to have forgotten how many people were ga ga about the Blair Witch Project etc. A major cause of this Econnomic situation is a Housing bubble because of a huge inequality of Supply and Demand by marginal people purchasing Homes. Clinton made this possible in 1999 by making it possible for people to buy homes with no money down. If BMW,Mercedes and Porsche allowed people to buy their cars with no money down it wouldnt stop people from buying them and the POTUS couldnt stop them once the incentives were in place. It would also destroy these car makers just as it did Housing etc.People need to wake up because the Federal debt bubble is coming. Unemployment is not addressed when a majority of the eight hundred billion February Stimulus spent so far is spent on plugging State B
September 29 2010 at 7:15 PM Report abuse Permalink +22 rate up rate down ReplyInteresting how far you want to go back to take responsibility off the Bush Administration. With two wars, a huge medicare increase, the bank bailout and a huge tax cut, Bush passed along a $5 trillion deficit. Will conservatives ever see this, instead o saying the Democrats in Congress from 2007 on caused the recession? It started in 2006. Tell me how much affect Clinton had on banks making loans without checking resources and income and collateralizing those debts into marketable seecurities? Bank deregulation started with Carter and accelerated under Reagan and especially Bush 2. Most of what happened in the housing market was greed on the part of the lenders, the builders and a deregulation of the connection between banks and investment banks. Clinton takes some responsibility but most occurred under the GOP watch...the one which wishes to again be in power and continue the policies that failed.

Freddie Mae and Mac were being losded down with bad loans from Banking in 2004 and 2005. They had control and did nothing. They Blame Frank took his word that they were fine if you can believe a Republican took a Democrats word, not likely.
