There are so many people with so many opinions on this matter that I thought it deserved it's own thread.

Tooky Amirault joins Dennis and Callahan to tell his amazing story

At a time of tension between their organizations, White House senior adviser David Axelrod met with Fox News chairman and chief executive officer Roger Ailes two weeks ago, sources tell POLITICO. The two met privately in Manhattan during the president’s visit to the United Nations. The two discussed news coverage and the relationship between the organizations. Ailes is the founder of Fox News. A key part of Axelrod’s portfolio is the president’s image and broad message. POLITICO has asked Fox for comment, and will update with reaction. White House officials have expressed pique with what they consider heavy coverage of...

In her speech in Copenhagen today, First Lady Michelle Obama said her trip to Denmark, along with the travel of her "dear friend" and "chit-chat buddy" Oprah Winfrey, as well as tomorrow's visit by President Obama, is a "sacrifice" on behalf of the children of Chicago and the United States. "As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days," the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project, "so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring...

Thank you Joe for speaking truth to power. Prepare to be detsroyed by the LIBS

This guy has been all over the news lately as a "industry whistleblower" but it's clear that he is just the latest tactic by the Obama administration to attack the American people. I know he's a big fan of Michael Moore and socialized medicine but has anyone dug up any monetary link to Obama or his thugs?

PORTSMOUTH — Tomorrow's visit by President Barack Obama will affect traffic, impact neighborhoods, slow commuters and impact public safety and public works employees, said Deputy Police Chief David “Lou” Ferland. “But Portsmouth's lucky to have the President coming to town,” he said. “I think it's a distinct honor.” Ferland said logistical details are still be finalized with regard to who among the throngs of spectators will go where and when. He said he's been in contact with multiple political groups, the largest of which now seems to be the Democratic National Committee which is coming to the city to support...

PORTSMOUTH - A White House spokesperson confirmed Wednesday that President Barack Obama will be in Portsmouth on Aug. 11 to hold a town hall-style meeting on heath care. "I can confirm the president is heading to Portsmouth on Aug. 11," said Moira Mack, a White House spokesperson. "The details of the event have yet to be finalized." Obama held similar forums of health care reform in Bristol, Va. and Raliegh, N.C. last week. Mack said she does not know if the event will be in the city, but said it will be in the "Portsmouth area."

I contend that Obama's response that the Cambridge police acted "stupidly" was not a mistake or poor judgement - I think it was calculated. Obama is desperately looking for something to steal the headlines from his disasterous healthcare plan and this kind of story his perfect. Obama's hope is that this will galvanize the media and "right wing critics" allowing Pelosi to push this plan through. I wouldn't be surprised if the White House actually planted that question. If you watched the presser you'll notice that the reporter almost didn't get to ask the questions - another reporter took her...

PORTSMOUTH — Hundreds of people gathered in Market Square on Wednesday to take part in the Tax Day Tea Party, which police called the largest protest they've ever seen in the city. "Other than the Christmas Tree lighting, I've never seen a crowd this size (in Market Square)," said Lt. Mike Schwartz, a 19-year city police department veteran who estimated the crowd at between 200 and 300 people. Tax Day Tea Party Led by local conservative radio pundit Jeff Chidester, the crowd waved signs in the air and shouted "Enough is enough!" Hundreds of similar protests were held nationwide in...

Was is just me or did the entire GOP just throw in the towel last night? From the moment Obama walked into the chamber, until the last talking head went to sleep, it seemed like the Republican party just decided to give. Up I couldn't believe my eyes or ears. As Obama walked into the chamber I saw Republicans lunge towards the aisle, straining for to touch the leaders garment. It was a cross between Jesus entering Jerusalem and the Beatles hitting the tarmac in the US for the first time. As Obama spoke, the Republican rose in applause multiple...

Having read FR for a few years now, I've found it to be extremely enlightening,educational and a fountain of information and entertainment. I've often discovered great nuggets of advise and opinion from various posters. During these tough Obama times, i was wondering if it would be useful to solicit thoughts and ideas from Freepers on how to make it through. I know this is not an investment site and all advise should be taken with a grain of salt, but I for one am just curious about the strategies other taxpaying, hard working, american citizens are using to maintain their...

Every since Henrietta ask Obama Claus for a kitchen and bath, people have been coming out of the woodwork to subsidize her laziness. That got me to thinking. FR has a wide readership maybe some here would like to help me pay some bills? I actually have a job, so I'm one up on Henrietta, but I can certainly use some help paying off some bills. Anyone interested? (remember, it's for the children)

I got a coffee from Starbucks at lunch and noticed that they changed their heat shield wrap to a patriotic Red/Blue. Within the margin was a quote. At first I thought "Oh, no, not more Obama! Can't I even enjoy a cup of coffee in peace. As I looked closer the words struck me... "My fellow citizens, our nation is poised for greatness. We must do what we know is right and do it with all our might. Let history say of us, 'These were golden years -- when the American Revolution was reborn, when freedom gained new life, when...

Duncan D. Hunter, son of longtime Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter, has won election to the house seat held by his father, who is retiring. The younger Hunter beat Democrat Mike Lumpkin in the 52nd Congressional District with just over 56 percent of the vote. "In the 52nd District, people want to see a secure border, they don't want to see amnesty, they don't want to see higher taxes for hard working people in East County San Diego, Poway, El Cajon. They want to see the government get out of their way so they can succeed. I think that message got...

Michelle Bachman kicking Chris Mathews ass - calling Obama an anti-american over and over again. get this on youtube!!

API is disturbed by the way many have reacted to the story on Mrs Obama’s call. Many have shown us by the way they have behaved towards API that they only think of their own interests because they have demanded that the audio recordings should be released immediately. We understand that the tapes should be released, but those who have demanded the release of the tapes seem not take into account that API may become a suing target.

Just watched a disgusting display of Joe the Plumber bashing on MSNBC. At the very end, Harold Ford Jr. says "hey, watch it guys there are a lot more Joes out there than use on TV. We should be careful." No kidding. Just like Palin. Americans need to rally to the defense of Joe by coming out in droves to support McCain and to put put the final nail in the MSM coffin

WASHINGTON - The chairman of the House Financial Services Committee declared Friday that an agreement on legislation to relieve a spreading financial crisis depends on House Republicans "dropping this revolt" against President Bush. Rep. Barney Frank said leading Democrats on Capitol Hill were shocked by the level of divisiveness that surfaced at a White House meeting Thursday, not long after key congressional players of both parties declared they'd achieved the broad outlines of an agreement on a bill implementing the administration's proposed $700 billion bailout plan.
