And Bill O said he would apologize when The WMC apologize for not defending Gov. Palin for all the trashing that took place and still is…..You rock Bill O!! You called them hypocrites…very appropriate…when the shoe fits…wear it WMC!

Hi, Jazzy, I’ve been out of the house all day, and I’m using a few minutes here to get caught up. I, too noticed that President Obama calls on the press and most of the time tells who they represent. I was impressed and think it is a lot more efficient that everybody in the room shouting all at once. He must have a seating chart on his podium. I think it’s a good touch. I don’t know how they are chosen, but I suspect each president does it differently. Probably, they pick some that they know will be favorable. As far as the stimulus package, I have been reading every economist that I can get my hands on. Highly paid sound bite pundits aren’t a very good source of factual material because, most often they have an agenda of their own. I go to Peterson, Brookings, The Economist, Yale Global, and several good sites that have good, objective material. The economists are mostly worried that it isn’t enough. And, we certainly will have to shore up our banking and house mortgage systems, and restructure them..this time with rules and regulations, and oversight that works. As the President has stated, yes it’s a lot of money going into lots of different areas, but I am reluctant to call it pork as such. We are going to have to jump start our manufacturing sector, for instance. This will help get the Research & Development revved up again. We are one of the only developed nations in the world (if not the only one) that doesn’t subsidize our manufacturing sector, and it is one of the 4 corners of our whole economy system. If we get any farther behind, we are going to be in even more trouble than we are right now. Schools, infrastructure, medical research, healthcare—-all of these areas are in deep trouble with their funding. So, the stimulus is only the beginning of, what I am calling, a re-structure of our whole system. It’s risky and scary. But, if we sit around and do nothing as some are suggesting, it can get worse…much worse. I received a youtube this a.m. that is a real eye opener. Because, we have a lot of countries gaining on us as far as competitive edge and because they are surpassing our schooling systems and methods. I think it is a real reality check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Wu2kWwSY&feature=email It is time to update our attitudes. It is time to remember what got us through the worse periods of our history. We need to come together and think about what the bottom line is. We can go up or down; it’s our choice.The world is moving with technology so quickly that it’s on the verge of leaving us behind.

Rather than making fun of the venerable Ms. Thomas, O’Reilly and the rest of Fox news need to be explaining why there was a producer at their network who has been arrested for possession of child pornography featuring three year old girls being bound and anally raped. The producer in question had already been caught with child pornography (on offense which got him booted out of the University of Michigan) and faced charges in the past. Does Feaux News not do criminal background checks on its employees? http://dcist.com/2009/02/fox_news_producer_arrested_on_kiddi.php

If Oreilly goes to Rushs head he ll find one full of oxycodone…he s all doped out the reason he talks nonsense..and Oreilly isnt that young himself I thought he was and old Man?

I am not sure I quite understand all of these posts. I realize that I am probably not as intelligent as the majority of you all on this blog, but did I just read roughly 185 posts filled with atrocious name-calling and bashing of Bill O’Reilly for his crime of name calling and bashing?

I hope that with the new administration, the attack-style journalism on TV that became so popular in the last 8 years, loses its appeal and ratings. What I never understood is even when the Republicans were in power their journalists and commentators were so vicious. Usually that is a tactic for the desperate. But perhaps they were desperate to cover up the eventual truth that the Republican policies of a war and greedy elitism would lead us into the grim national situation we all find ourselves in at this moment.

Liza dear, do you honestly believe that one-sided journalism and greed is limited to Republicans/The Right? Surely you can’t believe that. Greed and narrow-mindedness knows no boundries: political or ideological. I don’t believe we can lay the blame for our current situation on any party or group. Except maybe ourselves for allowing the misconduct on both sides of the aisle to carry own at the tax payer’s expense!

I am an old lady. If that is the worst thing you can say about me, I am also a happy lady. Insults? Angry words from mouths that have nothing of interest to say. Namaste.

Bill Reilly is a IDIOT THAT NEEDS TO RETIRE! What a bully!
