      Some say it is the love of money that is the root of all evil. Others say that the only people, who believe that, are the ones who don't have any money. Regardless, it seems so much more important during a recession. More people are getting payday loans yet donations to foundations and charitable contributions have increased from some people.

      The banking system is now in need of bail out plan just to save it. Many banks are now struggling because of the recession affecting millions of the consumers and the business owners. The government created the $750 billion TARP program to bailout troubled financial institutions in order to stave off a possible depression. This is like how getting a payday loan in order to hold you over until your next payday can also stave off a possible depression. A string of catastrophic bank failures would just make things worse, but it seems hard to justify giving the banks funds after they use those funds to give out corporate bonuses and buy corporate jets. You don't see people doing this with a <a href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/02/09/banks-bailout-money-payday-loan/">payday loan</a> now, do you?

      The very best and hot issues of the day is the lower interest rate of the taxes rate given to the citizen of America isn’t this issues such prevail to the needs of the of the country I don’t think so.

      My fellow Americans, did you think about the issues in play before you cast your vote in the November 4 election? That this would be nice to think that most of you did, but I know that the reality of how much people think about their political choices is less than studied. Many of us, they may even think of too much expectation of about how will be the next presidential winner and may even have studied more about whether you should take out a payday advance than who to vote for. As a case in point, check out this brief audio snippet from a recent episode of “The Howard Stern Show,” posted courtesy of BPM Deejays of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Roving Reporter Sal sought the opinions of men and women on the street, to see whether they supported Barack Obama or John McCain for President. Admittedly, they were attempting to gauge whether African-Americans would automatically vote for Obama simply because he’s black. That point is driven home by the location Sal obtains his samples from: Harlem, New York. However, the trick Sal employs in his interviews is telling. By reversing the candidates’ positions on issues like the pro-life argument, stem cell research, the war in Iraq and who Sarah Palin is – attributing McCain’s positions to Obama – Sal gets people to admit that they support all kinds of ideas that Obama wants little or nothing to do with. He exposes the ugly truth that many of us are ignorant when it comes to the issues. We parrot popular opinions and flow along with our peer groups. But when it comes to things like presidential elections and your vote, I hope you thought about it considerably.

      Congratulations, Mr. Obama on becoming the 44th President of the United States of America. If you thought the arduous 22-month campaign was hard, wait until you sink your teeth into the issues that await you with the American economy. The financial system and the ailing economy must be stabilized, and to your credit, you have proposed a number of different stimulus packages in recent weeks. The two most likely to score points on both sides of the aisle may just be your ideas about temporarily exempting seniors from having to make annual withdrawals from their IRAs and 401(k)s after age 70 ½ and temporarily exempting the unemployed from having to pay tax on their unemployment benefits. But the largest issues should be keeping the bank bailout/credit repair that Bush started on track, stemming the tide of real estate foreclosures and change the outlook of financial regulation and oversight, making it “more transparent.” You have your work cut out for you, Mr. President-Elect. Oh, but for the carefree days of the campaign…

      One of the most discuss problems today, is the economic crisis and how the presidential candidates will solve it. We as a citizen of the country can help in making a resolution to this problem by making a wise decision in electing president that will lead the country. With our turbulent economy, we have to make actions on how we can solve it. Every one of us will suffer. Way back in the past, In 1932 Franklin Delano Roosevelt was President of the United States as the country was twirling into a severe recession. Is the U.S. better off today than it was back then? FDR’s “New Deal” economic policies radically reformed the way the U.S. Economy works. The government’s role in the economy evolved to a dire extent that America had never seen. In the short-term, Roosevelt's policies provided the country with a needed lift. On the other hand, it can also be argued that his policies have left long-term damage to the country. Paul Rubin gave his opinion on a Wall Street Journal article, suggesting that while our current state of the U.S. economy is not in the same state it was in 1932, both share many of the same aspects: stock market in a whirlwind, credit markets locking down and Sen. Barack Obama, a Democratic presidential candidate running on a platform that will put increased government regulations in place and into problem areas like the economy. Supporters of the free market economy are concerned that Obama’s governmental “hand-on” policies will not provide the long-term direction that the American economy so desperately needs. Those who support the standards of the free-market system will no doubt say we are in for the same economic disaster as it was back in 1932.

    15. John Matro  04/01/2008 03:13 PM Report

      Many people are calling for the impeachment of Bush/Cheney and a particularly well-written plea by former presidential candidate George McGovern appeared in the Washington Post. But in spite of solid legal grounds for impeachment, Congress will never move to impeach. These are the major reasons why I believe this is so:

      (1) Nancy Pelosi would become president if Bush/Cheney were impeached, and any move on Pelosi's part to support such a movement would have the appearance of being self-serving.

      (2) President Pelosi would inherit the significant mess that this administration has made and doesn't want to be in the position of having to clean it up so close to a general election. It is politically expedient to use Bush/Cheney as whipping boys which will help Democrats to gain the Presidency and Congressional seats in the next election.

      (3) Few want Pelosi, an unpopular Speaker Of The House, with a poor record, to be President.

      (4) Lack of partisan support.

      While most Americans would like to see Bush/Cheney replaced, the wrong Speaker Of The House is in place to move into the White House.

      i was willing to give you a chance, but my decision is in....you need to be replaced for the good of the democratic party. I find nothing you say of interest.

      80% of the word "knows" what? That Global Warming is being questioned by many more knowledgeable than Al Gore.

      This lady is a lightweight. Not a leader; and certainly not an intellectual. She's where she is because she's great at fund raising for the party.

    18. what's that about  03/22/2008 01:30 AM Report

      Nancy's being an embarrassing and ineffectual ass. Making too typically American hubristic noises over there in Tibet. Moral superiority - even staged - on our part is hollow and worse counter-productive, as it opens us up further exposure of what a paper tiger and hypocrit we are. When the murdered Tibetans exceed the murdered Iraqis then we should still "cork-it." She and McCain both need to get their naive arrogant declarations back here where they are even more meaningless. Where the hell do we get these adolescents. Are there no adults left?

    19. Carol J  02/29/2008 02:13 PM Report

      To Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, a high government office, I was hoping that Ms Pelosi was tongue tied and had hoped she would correct herself. Please I never heard of the following government offices called FannieMac and FreddieMae. How about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Also, Charlie you pay $100.00 a gallon for gasoline/oil. Paying a $100.00 for a barrel of oil is $101.00 too, too much. Take Care.

    20. Karen  02/29/2008 01:47 PM Report

      Speaker Pelosi and her Democrat majority have been a severe disappointment. Her answers last night explained why they haven't gotten anything done: they are waiting for the President to agree with them so they can act! Her responses (not that she answered Charlie's questions) were nothing but more rehash of earlier Democratic whining. I learned only that Nothing Has Changed! It doesn't appear that they will be the "change" party unless Barack replaces many party leaders.

    21. astonished  02/29/2008 12:23 PM Report

      Amazed and disappointed at the apparent undemocratic selectivity of the C Rose blog monitors to totally obliterate any evidence that Pelosi was a quest 2/28/2008. Whose performance didn't pass muster? Hers? His? Or the blogs? Whatever, they need a new line of work. Censorship in their line of work comes close to neutralizing their-line-of-work.

    22. DIG  02/29/2008 04:12 AM Report

      I guess it depends on personal bias, but CR went after Nancy very aggressively IMO. He doesn't come close to asking tough questions with the same attack style of Bush.

      As for personal bias, as much as I respected and appreciated CR's relationship with William Buckley, he gave much of his personal bias away.

      At least we can now put aside any remaining doubt about where his loyalties lie.

    23. Jerry Mahoney  02/29/2008 02:42 AM Report

      "Incredible as it may seem amidst talk of recessions,

      job cuts and stagnant wages, NumbersUSA's Capitol Hill Team finds reports

      and signs everywhere that House Speaker Pelosi is negotiating to give

      millions of U.S. jobs to foreign workers," NumbersUSA President Roy Beck

      said today.

      The Democratic Pelosi's backroom deals appear to be motivated by fear that

      a group of freshmen Democrats may get most Republicans to help them force a

      vote on the enforcement-only SAVE Act (Secure America with Verification

      Enforcement). That bill -- with 147 bi-partisan signers in the House and

      Senate -- primarily would drive millions of illegal aliens out of their

      jobs. But Pelosi is trying to ensure that if the bill comes to a vote it

      will include huge increases in H-2B and H-1B visas for foreign workers of

      all kinds, and that it will include millions of legal work permits for all

      the illegal aliens currently holding a job.

      "I want every American to be aware of Speaker Pelosi's callous attitude

      toward the 23 million, less-educated working-age Americans who do not

      currently have a job," Beck said. "This group of Americans without any

      college education and without a job increased by 2 million between 2000 and

      2005 at the same time Congress was importing 1.5 million foreign workers of

      the same education level, according to research by the Center for

      Immigration Studies.

      "Nobody in Congress has a worse grade (F-minus) than Nancy Pelosi when it

      comes to protecting American jobs, American wages and American working

      conditions from the downward pressures of massive immigration. As the head

      Democrat, she stands in stark contrast to most of the newly elected

      Democrats who are pledged to protecting American workers and fighting

      illegal immigration. Unfortunately, Pelosi, the most radical Member of

      Congress on the immigration issue, is using her power as Speaker of the

      House to try to wreak even more damage on the most vulnerable of American

      workers and legal immigrant workers in this country. I urge all concerned

      Americans to contact their Members of Congress and express opposition to

      Rep. Pelosi's outrageous push for more foreign work visas."

      This lady (Pelosi), is the biggest liar, and the WORST speaker of the House EVER!!!!! For one thing, NOBODY in WWII Even came close to our borders (Pearl Harbor not being on the mainland). Pres. Bush is protecting us not only now, but his decisions are protecting us for the future!!! Nancy Pelosi isnt "reading" the us public and her own "approval rating", people want HER out even more than Bush!!! Pelosi is a hipocrite in the largest extension of the word!!! She says one thing, and does another completely! Please, how can she be taken seriously. Thank God she will be outta there at the next election!

      I have never seen, EVER, a more amateur interview than this one. Mr. Rose asked the Speaker questions and then proceeded to interrupt and cut off NEARLY ALL of her responses!! Interviewing 101 class, rule number one is - let your interview subject actually answer the question you ask. I mean, if you're not going to let the subject answer any of your questions, doesn't that also mean that you don't think your own questions are even worth answering? Why did Mr. Rose even bother to ask her anything if he wasn't going to let her answer anyway? Truly the worst single interview I have ever seen in my life. If Mr. Rose was in ANY way compensated for this interview, he should return the check. And, of coarse, send an apology to the Speaker and anyone else he interviews in this fashion. Wow. REALLY BAD.

      I was very excited to say the least to here that Volcker will be advising Obama. I am sure you are quite interested yourself.

      You think you could get Volcker to come on your show again?

      Dear Charlie Rose: I would like to remove Rachel's comment from the top of the list and instead thank you for introducing me to Barak Obama. I first saw him here as far as I can remember over two years ago. At the time you were recommending his book and enjoyed your dialog with him so much that I picked it up and loved it. At the time I have to be honest I joked I would never get to vote for such an honest man. So once again thank you for putting me ahead of the curve. You are truely someone special.

      Dear Charley Rose: We have repeatedly called upon Senator O'Bama to specifically disavow his relationship with far North 46th Ward Chicago Alderman Joseph "Joey" Moore, an agent in Chicago politics of the Mannheim Road, DuPage County criminal organization, and to disavow O'Bama's former law client, financier and indicted defendant Antoin "Tony'' Rezko. Resko remains now locked up in the Federal Criminal Lockup in Chicago's Loop, awaiting trial in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. O'Bama continues to run for the Democratic Presidential nomination. This message is intendended to address your pro-O'Bama guests and has nothing to do with ethnicity, with race, with religion or with whatever O'Bama's parent's named him! Both of these associates of the Senator are white. Both reside in the Chicago area. I represented candidate Michael Harrington, a young African American, in successful litigation against Moore during Harrington's candidacy, contesting Joey "the Mooch" Moore's seat on the Chicago City Council. I am also familiar with Tonie Rezko's racketeering history. O'Bama has a long history with Moore and with Rezko. It is not enough for O'Bama to merely mumble upon the revelation about his associations that ""I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it." See Chicago Sun Times, November 6th, 2005 and January 10, 2008 front page article on Chicago criminals. We have been forced to endure the deceit, incompetency and stupidity of the Young Bush Administration. All of us make mistakes in our associations in life. Mistakes, after full and fair explanation, can be forgiven. Whether Senator O'Bama's platform and idea's are vague and frustrating are an arguable political issue. We deserve specific, explicate assurance that criminal racketeers like the Sicilian crime organization, Alderman Moore, or Tonie Rezko. who have poped up in the Senator's past, are not going to show up with offices and power in an O'Bama administration.

      Pelosi is monumentally disappointing for me. Giving Shrub a pass on impeachment neuters her whole political raison de etre. Redemption for us, her, the nation, the world is down the toilet. Does Shrub/Cheney have something on her? ..<pgrph>.. And corruption led by earmarks marks her disdain for us all by assuming we all are as venal and for sale as she and her cohorts. <<< pgrph >>> For a compelling 156 page pamphlet on the seriousness of our political abyss, read THE END OF AMERICA, by Naomi Wolf. It's powerful and poignant. It stays with you!!

      Did she say this "We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as "Americans"."

      Did she say this, if so you got to be nuts. why should hard working Americans pay taxes and windfall on the hard earned dollars to give to some poor scmuck who broke the law sneaking into our country? Ms. Peloski you are splapping the American people in the face. You have no business in politics.

      as a disinterested observor, Pelosi did not answer the question about what will happen in Iraq if the troops are removed- sounded like she wished them to remain

      Nancy Pelosi is a smooth, polished poltician, especially when Charlie Rose lofts softballs at her for the entire interview. Ask her some tough questions for a change or at least make her answer the questions you DID ask.

      What a person and the good she is doing for the United States. There will be lives saved as a result of her work. Somebody tough has to clean up the mess we are in. Thank goodness that there are people like Nancy Pelosi. Republicans have to first realize that the bleeding has to stop. 3000 lost in the towers and now how many lost in the war up to 5-6000 now, total of 8000 American lives lost. HELLO??? I knew it back when the office went to the Bush. All those mothers whose sons have past away, Now how would they vote? For Bush? It is a little different now isn't it? A person like Nancy is answering the call. Thank goodness we have a true American fighting for the value of an American life. Hey Bush those lives are worth something, Like living! Are the Republicans blind? The voice of the American people have spoken, Nancy is just doing their will. It is about time we have somebody who is a true Patriotic American to combat the evil of the present Adminstration. Make our country great again Nancy, and may god bless you, as for the Republicans, forgive them father they know not what they do..........

      I am impressed by the intelligence of Mrs. Pelosi, she is one strong woman that deserves our unlimited respect and support for what she is doing for Democratic party vis-a-vis America. She is honest and very determined in taming the current quagmire we are into. I pray more power to her, we have lost tremendous number of man power as well as finace for the worng war (Iraq war).

      Yes we have a woman for the first time as Speaker of the House. Unfortunately she is also the first harridan in that seat as well. She is only bettered by Hilary in divisiveness and innuendo. The coming year is going to be quite a ride!!!

      A very poor interview. Not only did Pelosi not answer most of the questions asked, many of her replies were instead vicious personal attacks on the president.

      She certainly is entitled to her personal political preferences. But it is very bad for our country that she does not have the ability to voice them and argue them in an intelligent and polite manner.

      Ted Koppel would never have accepted the evasive answers to your direct and open ended questions that Ms. Pelosi provided. She circumvented "Dingell"; "HR passed (I think one)"; "Congress's low approval rating" but trashed free speech for which you did not take her to task. I lean Democratic, but I don't think the Speaker has the much in the way of leadership abilities even tho the MSM adores her.

    42. Dr. Emile Piscitelli  06/28/2007 11:26 PM Report

      I just missed Mrs. Pelosi who graduated from Trinity College before I arrived as a young professor who taught theology there for 4 years. I think she is a very bright, beautiful woman and an astute politician. I wish she would focus on what the Democrats want to do and how they are going to get it done more than on the obvious failures of the present administration. My question is: Are we not being too arrogant when we think that the United States can be the moral leader of the world? Can we take responsiblity for the terrible things that happen to people in Darfur when we don't help the people in our own American City of New Orleans? What is Congress doing about the ridiculous injustices of the tax code? Congress has imposed this system on us, and it is a bit disingenuous for a member of congress to complain about it as if it come from some other source. Do we need Warren Buffet to tell us that the rich are not taxed enough and the working class is over taxed? We hear the politicians talking about education but they end up doing nothing about it. Let's make teacher's salaries tax-free. Let's encourage young people to go into teaching rather than Wall Street. Let's bring standards back into education. We are not competitive with people educated abroad because our schools are still a mess. Charlie said not a word about education. Charlie get off the science kick and let's talk about science and math in our increasingly irrelevant educational institutions. I have been teaching logic since 1972. In the last 10 years the students I teach cannot pass the same exams I was giving to students 20 years ago. Why? They are ill prepared for college work. Why can't politicians admit that they cannot solve all the problems we face in the US? If they would just stop adding to them, we might be better off. Some day we will be driving cars fueled by hydrogen made from water that produces water as a by-product. Our air will be cleaner and we won't have to fight wars to keep the Global Oil Market in tact. How I wish I could live to see that day.

      Pelosi did not answer Charley Roes question most of the time. I am of the impression that she tried to reply oh how the House would answer. She gives me the impression that she is Not a Leader, but one that wants other people opinion. From this interview and other times she has spoken, I think she is the main reason that the Democrates and the President have a low approval rating.

    44. Jim  06/28/2007 10:40 PM Report

      It was very interesting to hear her views, takinf credit for a lot of legistion which really added up to a lot of nothing...compared to what she was going to do in the first 100 days...(zero results) That was a big let down. She made reference how the Republicans were the main cause of delay with progress in Congress. The reality is that they are promoting issues which most people don't have an interest in and lack the support to pass. She was critical of talk radio and felt "the other view" should be presented. I listen to both Liberal and Conservative radio. I must say that the Liberal stations have the most hateful comentators. Ms. Pelosi's San Fransico Radio host Ray Tagliaferro (sp?)(KGO 810)is without a doubt the most vicious, hateful radio host I have ever heard in 35 years of listening to talk radio. He refers to the President with the most vile names ever heard....bar room drunk stuff. Is that the view she is looking for? The same thing goes on in Los Angeles. The Conservative morning talk show hosts discuss issues and raise issues. The Liberal stations have hosts who make nothing but jokes about the President and other Republicans and conservative views. Very little is offered in the way of solutions to problems. This seems to be true of the Democratic leadership in W.D.C. Ms. Peolsi needs to address the real situation and promote serious radio hosts who take the issues seriously...and bring their names out into the public arena. Jim (Democrat) from Santa Clarita.

      This was a very interesting interview. I look forward to more interviews with Democrats and liberals, which is lacking in so many other shows on TV. Conservatives dominate so much, even though they don't run everything any more.

      Pelosi is a very good speaker and communicator. I am so proud she is the first woman Speaker of the House. She represents women well. I hope that more women follow in her footsteps.

      very thoughtful interview but there should have been a question about why so many americans have lost faith in washington as a whole. it's a big reason that there is so much interest in a third party candidate like bloomberg

    47. Jim Poling  06/28/2007 04:40 PM Report

      I watched half the Pelosi interview and knew she was never going to get any tough questions and there were many to be asked.

      Having had the opportunity to meet Ms. Pelosi as a fund raiser for a non profit cause, I can sssure what Rose Show viewers saw last night was a cultivated stage presence and not the real Madame Speaker.

      To sum it up.....you would never want to be in a life boat with this self motivated pirana. Question everything and you will see the veneer crack...... and, then, stand back!

      Not one person's opinion.

      I stumbled on Charlie Rose last night during a deliberate Paris Hilton avoidance manouever. How fitting that in trying to skip over those who represent everything bad (amoral, cheap, phoney, trite, opportunistic and false)in American culture I found something honest-to-God good in the form of Ms. Pelosi. I have never before heard her speak and I am quite honestly stumped. I can't remember when I heard a political insider speak so candidly without buzzword,cliche or spin.

      I am wondering why Mr.Rose did not push the importantance of Mrs.Pelosi "breaking the marble cieling" when it was clearly something that his interviwee wanted to discuss. The topic was contained in the mentioning of her role as mother which became the easy way to contain such an important topic. What it truly means to be a woman at her level might be an interview in and of itself but I wish we were given a better taste.
