      Hey, it's cool; there's a question mark at the end. Is Gretchen Carlson a man?

        I'm just waiting for the right-wing freak-out about Obama as an egomaniac when he announces his Afghanstan policy from the Oval Office in primetime BY HIMSELF! Oh, that narcissist! It's always just about himself ... *sigh*

      "Fair and Balanced" hypocrits at Fox News is at it again. This time using an airhead to do their dirty work (attack and criticize the President).
      These people speak of their own President as if he is the enemy, when all he is trying to do is fulfill his campaign promises and restore America's standing around the world.
      I am convinced that many white people would rather America self-destruct than let a black man cuise it to safety.
      You didn't hear all of this criticism during former President Bush eight years of betraying the American people. In fact, Bush is the worst President in modern history.
      Now we have a President who is trying to clean up the mess left by Bush.... and all the Republicans and conservatives want to do is obstruct (they also want him to fail).
      These people who are in the public's eye, like Carlson, are lying and misleading the American people because of their dislike for the President, a dislike that is not based on anthing other than the color of the President's skin. They would rather be led by the devil.

          But Pres. Obama just happening to be the first black President gives FoxNews card-blanche to go ALL in with their "nasty", "smear" attacks every single day of every single hour. The Democrat Party is just FoxNews' cover so they can "smear" an American President 24/7, LOL.

          I concede that being a democrat is a part of Republicans ridicule of Obama, but I contend Obama's color is the overiding factor. What is going on today is deeper than politics. Why do you think they are attacking Acorn too?

      And FoxNews should be reminded of how "real" Journalists and Cable News Groups "respect" an American President at ALL times rather Democrat or Republican, LOL.

      It's as if these Republicans and FoxNews have separated themselves into what they ALL believe is their "pure", "just", and "RIGHTFUL" country called their United States of America, and they ONLY know what is best in their America. Wow, what a fantastic belief to have TWO Americas, instead of ONE - LOL.

      These people are "great" with "deception" and MSM just get played day after day after day. Boy, if only the Democrats and President Obama could just "harness" these Republicans' playbook of "deception" for America, LOL.

        If the Democrats wanted to use Republicans' words and actions against them in the next Presidential election they would have a lifetime of data.
        You could start with the general election with Republican candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin. 98% of their campaign was attacks, criticism and negative ads. Their vision for America and policies took a back seat in their campaign.
        It is a fact that most of what they accused their opponent of was falsehoods, and in many cases out-right lies. For example: There is tons of footage at lynch mob rallies of John and Sarah calling a fellow American Presidential hopeful a "communist", "Marist" and "un-American". On top of that both of them sat back and did nothing while some in attendance yelled "off with his head", "kill the ni*%er" and "he is a terrorist" referring to Barack Obama (John finally said something about a week later). Since losing the Presidency to Barack Obama all they do is criticize and attack while trying to obstruct him from doing his job.
        Republicans in general have abandoned their "core principles, values and responsibility" to the American people and replaced it out-right lies, distortion and miss-representation, and the do so with no shame and no regard to TV cameras.
        They show no interest to the well being of the American people, instead most of their time is spent attacking and criticizing the President. Republicans are proud to go on the record and state that they opposed universal affordable healthcare for the American people. Not caring or knowing how that will look in the next election. One politician, ignoring the well being of the American people, said "Healthcare will be Obama's waterloo". Meaning.. if we deny Obama a Healthcare victory his presidency will be a failure. Republicans are more interested in an Obama failure then they are about the good the welfare of the American people.
        As I said above there is plenty of data and it grows by the day. Stupidity is an on going thing with Republicans today and they are providing America with a lot of nonsense that could be used against them in the future.

      Maybe they're replaying some tape around 2004 and just dubbed in the world Obama, because this would have been a perfect statement for GWB.

        George W. Bush -- how many nicknames did he use to describe himself?
        I remember "The Decider," and "The Commander Guy" just off the top of my head.

        But there was NOTHING egotistical about that at all . . .

      Slightly off-topic, but I thought this would be a good time to point out that from 1994 to 2004, Jacoby annually used his Boson Globe column to attack "liberal hate speech" and "Hate Speech of the left," particularly the use of words like "Nazi" or Fascist."

      "Ah, yes, the reductio ad Hitlerum. Why meet a conservative with facts or logic when you can simply tar him with the Nazi brush?"

      I was not too surprised to find that since the right wing has become particularly fond of the "Nazi" smear, Jacoby seems to have lost interest in the subject.

      The real story is not how Obama is being handled in China but why the Chinese own so much of our debt and we can thank GWB for that!

          Amen to that. It's been 2 decades of growth in China thanks mainly to the debt we have here in America. The ONLY way to reduce our debt to China is to diminish our lifestyle here.
