      Thomas Friedman is an idiot. They guy does his stuttering shtick on the Tavis Smiley show...did he know that Tavis Smiley stuttered for many years!?

      Then he does the same thing on the Daily Show...Anyone know his email address? Stuttering is nothing to make fun of.

      Look at Schumer!! scary, scary, scary.....the past 2 years was not Bush Administration. it's this bunch of Democrats doing the whole show at the American Government. who pulled this 911 trick, who pulled these economic traps with de-regulations, trading empty promises and empty titles of debts, build-up to the crescendo of 'crisis'. American peoples are really really retards to believe that Bush really shot his own feet! Schumer oversold tonight with tons of hand gestures!! 20/20 hindsight to give audiences a full story of the past month economic tsunami?!! i don't buy his story, the explanation is foolish and it came 2 weeks too late from a senior senator. It is those who went thru every bad moment and every angle of news reporting, and of course suffered the tremendous losses, know better. Where was Schumer in the past 2 years or 10 years? Quotation from Thomas Friedman? the other night at the interview by Tavis, Friedman mocked President Bush's stuttering and not pronouncing the word 'conservation' on this topic of green revolution, da da. Friedman is getting quite, quite flat. Ideas are a dime a dozen, there are tons from Paul Krugman too. Compare Friedman with Bush, of course Bush is the master. yes, M-A-S-T-E-R, Mr. Friedman.

      Usury is the problem Charlie. "USURY" a poll in Florida showed 25% of people are paying as much as 25% on their credit card debt. German Banks were charging 22% when Hitler blamed the Jewish bankers and gained control of the government and pulled off the Hollocaust, and started WW II. No economy based on borrowing at usury rates can survive. The high interest rates soak up all the cash and bankrupt the middle and lower classes. The old testiment says charging interest is a sin this isn't a new problem. It is greed. Bernard

      Charlie.... what is going on with you asking questions and then wanting to answer them yourself. You interrupt people constantly and inject your own answer - and don't let them talk. You have to "guess" what they are going to say. Why are you in competition with your guests? They are brilliant and know what they're talking about. They don't need you to guess. And we don't need you to talk over them so we can't hear their answers. We also understand their answers and don't need you to rephrase everything like we won't get what they said unless you simplify it - or whatever it is you're trying to do. It's annoying. Watch the Schumer interview over yourself - you'll be amazed at how rude you can be. Get a grip. Trust the people you have on to be able to answer the questions. You're ridiculous - why have guests? Stop it.

      Dear Mr. Rose:

      I have followed your program for years. This year, I stopped watching a few months ago because of what appeared to be bias and slanted interviews on behalf of Barack Obama.

      I tuned in to your interview of Tom Brokaw last night. Finally, after months of giving Obama a pass, you asked some hard questions of "what we do not know about Obama":

      What and why we do not know about Obama.

      1. Occidental College records — Not released

      2. Columbia College records — Not released

      3. Columbia Thesis paper — ‘not available’

      4. Harvard College records — Not released

      5. Selective Service Registration — Not released

      6. Medical records — Not released

      7. Illinois State Senate schedule — ‘not available’

      8. Law practice client list — Not released

      9. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate - - Not released

      10. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth — Not released

      11. Harvard Law Review articles published — None

      12. University of Chicago scholarly articles — None

      13. Your Record of baptism– Not released or ‘not available’

      14. Your Illinois State Senate records–’not available’

      15. AND NOW: Obama’s recent trip to Hawaii to visit his ailing grandmother resulted in the Governor of Hawaii ordering his state records to be sealed until after the election.

      16. His association with William Ayers, which is well documented (one of Bill Ayers' books is dedicated to Sirhan, Sirhan - Robert Kennedy's assassin)

      17. His long association with Khalida - the LA Times has a videotape of Obama praising him at a dinner - but won't release it

      18. His ties to Acorn - which go back to his "community organizing" days and with Ayers.

      19. Well documented voter fraud - especially in my state of Texas.

      20. Millions of dollars in campaign donations that are untraceable due to Obama's campaign accepting prepaid cash cards.

      On and on and on it goes, Mr. Rose. All of the things we do not know about Obama - or do know - but the media refuses to do its job - on behalf of the American citizen.

      A deeply concerned American - not about Obama's Race - but about all of the unanswered questions surrounding of an un-vetted candidate, a 600 million dollar marketing machine, that American voters know nothing about.

      Will you please ask Mr. Chuck Schumer, if everything he "knows" about Obama and his history, is Obama is a man he would want raising his grandchildren?
