Goldman and Citi are two of Obama's largest corporate donors. Government can create its own money or force producers to give them more. That's the only way they can create jobs. Or maybe they can just continue to create more regulations that require more monitors. Or increase the size of the...

I am not sure that I shoud pocket the opinion of a union created in 2009 when they discuss rich people's income. That was an awesome Chuck infusion by the way!

So...back in the 1930's and 1940's when we taxed millionaires much higher rates all of the problems were solved? Everyone was good to go? How about if we taxed millionaires 95% today...would it fund all of our current budget obligations and pay down the defecit? That is, assuming that taxing...

To work is to be punished. Income taxes, FICA and Medicare taxes from my paycheck. And then my employer gets taxed payrol and more FICA just for employing me. I am lower middle class and the government gets a hefty chunk in my name whether its directly from me or from my employer. Once I start...

Understood. There will need to be massive changes to entitlement spending if we are to come close to balancing the budget.

He had security clearances as a US senator while he was on Senate committees for foriegn relations and most certainly for his time on the Homeland Security Senate Committee. He was even on the Veteran's Affairs Committee. He had security clearances when he made his statements. Military...

I'm sure that he does. However, I don't see the national security threat from Libya pre-bombing. Whether or not Qaddafi remains in power there is enormous potential for a new national security threat. Obama liked to state that Iraq and Afghanistan were recruiting tools for terrorists. Another...

I never said that someone somewhere shouldn't have done something in Libya. But that can be said for a lot of places. My concern (and others) is that Obama didn't properly make a case for the attacks. We are now invested in the outcome. Its not so much the attacks its what happens down the road...

What does that even mean?

Judging may be that. However, before going into Iraq and Afghanistan the case of national security interests was presented. Obama never even tried to do that. I don't know what makes Libya "special" to bomb over when Sudan is sitting down the block. The reason we have no idea what's going on is...

I don't think he would. He has high ratings from the ACLU, labor unions & others. The Almanac of American Politics gives him heavily ( high 70's low 80's) liberal ratings in economics, social ideology and foriegn affairs. These scores have not changed much since the 1980's. So his scores as a...

I think that the real question is was this Libya bombing necessary? Obama I can't post URL's yet but it is from the LA Times. Google "Obama won't send men into harm's way"

It would make watching Leno a lot more interesting though.
