The Cuban government takes 30 cents of every dollar in U.S. remittances that enters the country as a usury fee.
Morning AB! Thanks for the thread, as always. There seems to be a reasonable balance on the shows this AM, compared to recent weeks. It is obvious that one or two will be talking about the tea parties.
Fox should dump the chump they have on the show and get a conservative.
If Cheney can get a word in edgewise.
Gregory asks about Zero’s reaction to the Chavez “gift.”
Summers just answers that Zero is incredibly popular. He then continues with talking points and cliches.
I’m watching Napolitano and she seems to be digging the hole deeper on the Vets memo. Have to get a transcript of this. She’s such a liar. She’s got to go now.
Wallace and Hayden are having a good conversation on FNS. Hayden is truly stunned by what Obambi did in releasing those memo’s and is talking about the effects on CIA operatives.
He is talking about the good that came out of the methods and how they worked.
Napolitano is like a repeat of Janet Reno.
Do not hold your breath (bad for the health).
Summers uses lots of words and says absolutely nothing.
Larry Summers is basically saying that the banks are not competent to decide whether they are capable of paying back the money.
Gregory points out that the $2 trillion in saving that Zero keeps talking about is a phony.
Summers refers to Washington games.
He is utterly unresponsive to the charge, but he does manage to use the word “inherited.”
Interesting that her primary example of a real terrorist is Timothy McVeigh. Nowhere close to Arizona, but in her mind McVeigh sets the standard as she explained the other day, saying how fearful she was after the OKC bombing.
Summers says that allowing the “Bush” tax cuts to expire will only raise taxes for those making over $250,000.
There are more lies in this particular response than I can possibly relate.
How in the world did Summers get a reputation for being smart?
Listening to him is like living in Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Larry Summers reminds me of Suzanne Summers on Three’s Company
Thanks. It never ceases to amaze me how Democrats always seem to put people in positions of power even though they are ignorant and ill informed. Summers is but one example.
Summers thinks like a girl.
Wallace asking Grahmnesty and RAT Senator NcHaskell about Obama’s apology tour.
Gregory’s questions are not half bad, but his follow up is virtually non-existent, which means it is all for naught and the interview becomes empty rambling by whoever the administration spinner happens to be.
That thing with Summers was just terrible and pretty much content free, although he did reveal that a central part of their health care proposal is to have the government decide which procedures are “cost effective.”
Take a breath Miss Lyndsey.
Can someone please point me to where I can find “the biggest tax cuts in history” that the Narcissist in Chief and his minions keep claiming to have passed?
They gave a a rebate, but NOT a cut in rates, right?
That is exactly right, gov.
You are correct. Just keep thinking “symbolism over substance” and “perception over reality” and it will all make sense.
President zero does not have to actually do anything. Just talking about it counts as having solved any problem.

Looks like both the components of the Totus will be on today: Rhambo and Axeldork. It pays to know your enemy so if I get the chance I will watch their every move.
Uhh...unless you are talking about unsafe sex. Aids and abortion patients will go to the front of the (long) waiting lines.
Did I hear Summer’s correctly? Did he say Obama would find savings by,
“...taking costs out of Medicare budget. But the really important issue for the long run, David, is changing the way we deliver health care in this country. You know, there’s been a whole set of studies done, they look at health care frequency of certain procedures whether it’s tonsillectomies or hysterectomies in different parts of the country. And what you see is, in some parts of the country, procedures are done three times as frequently and there’s no benefit in terms of the health of the population. And by doing the right kind of cost effectiveness, ... we could take as much as $700billion a year out of our health care system.”
He says that will more than pay for our universal health care coverage. Boy, talk about intrusive! My kid can’t have his tonsils out because Indiana is limited to the same number of tonsillectomies as other states? A woman’s doctor can’t decide for himself whether his patient needs a hysterectomy?
There, right there... a government bureaucrat with a stat sheet is making decisions for doctors.
Yes, you heard Summers correctly.
And if you transcribed that while listening, that is simply amazing.
There can only be a small group of selected elites who share in all the gravy at the top. the govt. needs to control all production,everyone else must be paid the same, look the same, think the same and no on can listen to any conservative thought at all.
It's called the Obama nationalist socialist regime evolving towards fascism and its coming at us in warp speed!
Richard Stengel is creepy.
Well, there would probably be a Soviet-elitist type of clause.
If anyone is listening to the discussion about leaking the memos on Fox News Sunday.......can anyone believe that Juan Williams thinks this is right?
Absolutely no calculation is involved regarding the willingness of men and women to get into or stay in the health care professions.
Just like government calculations of tax revenue ignoring dynamic effects of tax policies, these ‘national health’ gurus are ignoring the obvious.
Available MEDICAL CARE will be extremely different and worse than what Americans receive today.
Harold Ford, Jr. says we should not question Zero’s intentions.
He doesn’t say why we shouldn’t, just that we shouldn’t.
The MSM talking point is pushing the “obama is going to cut programs” as a counter to the tea parties.
Clearly Obama and co., and the dinosaur media minions, do not “get it.” (btw minions ala a tacky hollywood cliche is most appropriate for the MSM. They might as well be igor)
Obama is going to cut (and count) military programs, faith based programs, anti-abortion programs, alternative to stem cell research programs, and any other conservative favored program.
The WH thinks they can spin the tea party outrage in their favor. Again obama is trying to jump in front of a parade.
NPR must have upped Juan’s intake of kool-aid. He is making a bigger fool of himself than usual. A child could defeat his “argument.”
One of the talking heads on C-spam,pretty smart guy to boot, diagnosed what they are doing. Peter Morici from the UNIV. of Md., Georgetown, and others,figured out that its all about control.
If the banks pay back tarp and other zero percentage loans(morici chastised those who could not figure out how the banks are making money with "free" money from the govt. duhhhhh...) Barky loses control! No wonder they don't want the dough back.
Earlier on C-spam one the drive-bys Michael Shear of the Wa Post who has the Whitehouse beat almost fell off his chair defending barky on everything from faux economics to knee padding fat hugo in the islands,a rather disgusting display of driveby-ism while the gal from the Christian Scientist Monitor just stood by with a glazed look on her face.
Somewhat hilarious actually.
Manipulation possibly? (snow melted and gone hopefully)
Sounds similar to jail house talk, "dont question da boss man"
Just guessin', might be way off ... LOL
It is obvious that this policy is going to lead to a major terrorist atack sooner rather than later.
Ever since Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C came on the scene with is his say one thing and do another, he has become media darling. Anytime he is one I don’t watch, if he is on ABC with George or Fox with Chris that’s it for that network for the rest of the day. I’ve all grown tired of Graham and being surprised by his double dealing and two-faced-ness and his saying something that I agreed with being turned upside down by his idiotic voting. I am bone tired, no dead tired of seeing and hearing Sens. Lindsey Graham.
