"Obama's presser will cost ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX about fifteen million dollars in ad revenue, about three and a half to four million dollars each, more or less depending on the popularity of their regularly scheduled programming."

I wasn't watching..would have been watching Idol but instead went over and watched for the first time, Tracy Ullman's show on Showtime..Very funny!! Will definately watch again. :)

Who is the woman on the far “right” side of this photo. The one with the refined Stalinist look on her face????

[April Lexington]

Great photo! The faces say it all. Everyone knows they are watching a failed presidency...

Who is the woman on the far “right” side of this photo. The one with the refined Stalinist look on her face????

I don't know who she is, but she is wearing the new "Palin" style glasses.

[April Lexington]

Thanks. My gut tells me she's no Sarah Palin!-

Valerie Jarrett I think.
Another refugee from Chicago politics.

This picture reminds me of the parents we used to see during thier kids's individual performances for musical instruments. They knew their kids weren't ready for prime time, and they were not enjoying their performances. They were waiting for the screwups which would happen.

[April Lexington]

I thought she looked familiar. Thanks.

Oboz0 is a puppet on the strings controlled by Rahm and his boss, George $oreA$$.

[Grampa Dave]

This Utube is so damn revealing about how Oboz0 is nothing but a puppet on electronic strings controlled by Rahm.

"Houston, we have a problem."

White House COS "pledging allegiance" to the USA on inauguration day.

[Grampa Dave]

Damn that is scary.

Well....I'm a staunch bitter gun owner & bible holding evil Conservative.

But, I don't see how that little 5 second clip proves anything....

“It isn’t all mortgage deductions — unless he changed the plan recently, but over a certain $ amount deductions — in other words the rich will be hit, doesn’t sound like you will be affected. I do, however, concur if you qualify (don’t owe more than the allowed amount for your age on your current home and live in an area that isn’t considered rural - where the allowed amount is much lower) check into a reverse mortgage.”

If you find specifics on this, please Freep Mail me.

We have been looking a reverse mortgage, and my wife is concerned about the loss of our mortgage interest tax deduction if we go for the reverse mortgage.

[Grampa Dave]

Regardless of the tax deduction, I wouldn’t pay off the mortgage.

The reason why: if the government keeps printing money at the rate it has been doing so, inflation is going to come back, big time.”

Presuming you have a fixed-rate mortgage, future payments will be with cheaper dollars. Don’t dip into your savings and lock up money in your house — it’s a lot harder to get it back

Your advice/suggestion is excellent for younger people with good job skills. We will be in some Jimmy Carter inflation with the Oboz0’s a Trillion here and a trillion there bs.

I give this advise to my sons, nephews and nieces who are 30-40 somehting.

However, it will not help those of us on pensions, ss and trying to live on what is left in our IRAs and 401ks.

Thanks for posting the photo of the large screen TOTUS.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!

What is clearly the most disturbing aspect of this post, is that I can read the words and clearly hear the music in my mind....
