Absolutely. They are VERY harsh. Does the white house have a respoinsibility to speak to EVERY news channel? Bush could and did ignore msnbc once polls turned on him with the iraq war.
They're not obligated to speak to FoxNews, but I think they're just hurting themselves. Fox is boasting it's viewership is up 20% since last year. I'm sure there are plenty who watch Fox and voted for Obama so ostracizing them will eventually backfire, IMO. Besides, being afraid of "tough" questions really doesn't speak well towards Obama's administration. |

it's the super rich I hate. I'm not talking about someone with a few hundred thousand or million. billionares, I can't stand. People who are born into vast wealth and act like they're better than everyone by birthright, I can't stand those fuckers and have no respect for them.
So it's more a behavioral issue? Are you OK with someone like Bill Gates who is in the process of donating the vast majority of his earnings. From the media in general, he seems to be a pretty decent guy. Of course, I don't work with him... |

REALLY....i pay my taxes...i live at home so i save on rent..that way i can save and buy my own place...and i have worked hard and soon am gonna be in the tax bracket that Obama plans on inflicting on me as a reward for my hard work so that leeches like you can have health care  oooo i'm insecure  you came into this thread from the word go being defensive  Hard work is only one part of the equation. Smart work and politics are just as important. I've lost track of the number of people where I work who endlessly cry that they're not moving up. In general, they're the same ones who I hear saying, "Yeah, I told the boss how it really is!!" and they are usually not contributing anything or trying to better themselves. |

Does that really make him a racist?
I don't agree with the dude's opinion but respect the amount of balls expressing and living by it takes.
Yes, I think it makes him racist. And I've got no respect for his opinion because he's expressing it with his public office. He's free to believe what he wants. Using his public office to deny others who don't share his opinion is racist. He should be removed. |

skip & 33,
Is obama doing the right thing by sending 15k forces to afghanistan?
If the military says they need them, then of course he's doing the right thing. That's not to say it will give us a decisive victory. The more difficult decision with Afghanistan lies in the road ahead. As Dr. Gates noted, "I believe the decisions that the president will make for the next stage of the Afghanistan campaign will be among the most important of his presidency, so it is important that we take our time to do all we can to get this right." Let's just hope they don't take too long. If the decision is made to stay, then I think you give the military EVERYTHING they need to accomplish the mission. |
