"It was really a back and forth discussion," said Massimino. "It was not, one side makes a presentation and the other side listens and takes notes. It was really probing."
editor@truthdig.com comes with the facts:
By Sepharad , June 23 at 12:25 pm # Folktruther, husband and I are mostly spending time visiting with our young granddaughters, so I m not posting much, just keeping up with reading threads, but wanted to ask a couple questions re your post of June 19, 11:57: I haven t read anything about Congress appropriating $400,000,000 for regime change in Iran. In what terms have they couched such a request, and where? Re Dennis Roth advocating a coalition of countries to legitimize attacking Iran the only book of his I ve read is The Missing Peace . In which book does he mention attacking Iran? In any case, I would think that these tens of thousands of people demonstrating in the Iranian streets would illustrate conclusively the lack of wisdom (not to mention morality)of attacking that country. Cannot think of a faster way to set in stone the enmity of moderate, responsible, intelligent people than bombing their country. (I do realize there are people in and out of Israel and the U.S. who support bombing Iran s nuclear installlations, but I think it would be a horrible mistake to do so as well as morally indefensible especially if any of the facilities are below populated areas.
But The Huffington Post News Team says that's not all:
The Huffington Post | Rachel Weiner First Posted: 06-14-09 10:18 AM | Updated: 06-21-09 02:53 PM
Lee S. Gliddon, Jr. does a quick recap:
We cannot allow that to happen, and we are counting on your help to stop it! Thanks for your defense of Free Speech and your outstanding support of the MRC.
rsinderbrand says it all comes down to this:
Jason June 9th, 2009 10:19 am ET So Voight says our president is "weak" but at the same time, he's also "oppressive". Are there any thinking republicans left? Ones that can voice a framework of ideas instead of just spouting negatives (contadictory negatives at that). We've had 8 years of so-called "strong" defense but that didn't get us anywhere but in debt and the wars have not ended. I'll take Obamas approach any day.
Lee S. Gliddon, Jr. has another idea:
Forward this message to 30-35 friends urging them to stand with you in defense of our Free Speech Rights by clicking here now . Every petition that is signed between now and noon on Monday will be added to the nearly 400,000 we already have and presented directly to the Senate Commerce committee leadership!
Cynthia Kouril brings some great news:
(a) If an accused after arraignment makes an irregular pleading, or after a plea of guilty sets up matter inconsistent with the plea, or if it appears that he has entered the plea of guilty improvidently or through lack of understanding of its meaning and effect, or if he fails or refuses to plead, a plea of not guilty shall be entered in the record, and the court shall proceed as though he had pleaded not guilty.
However, Eman AbdElRahman thinks differently:
I work next to Cairo University and this area has transformed over night. The bumpy streets leading to the University are now as smooth as silk. Even buildings around the area have been given a fresh layer of paint, but not the whole building, just the side that faces to the street. […] That all sounds great but do you know what that means for the citizens of Cairo? No one is going anywhere on Thursday. I’ve heard that schools are taking the day off and some businesses are closing. Since Obama will be criss-crossing through Cairo in a car, police and presidential guard will be closing down streets and areas where he will be expected to be.
CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart brings more details:
Champly June 14th, 2009 5:55 pm ET Hey I am with all of the Obamots here. Free health care for everyone. Free, Free, Free. And lets have free food. I want those $100 steaks the Obama's serve at the White House from time to time. I want one every day. And MIchelle Obama has the neatest shows, costing $350 or so. I need a pair to lift my self esteem. Lord knows what a falling level of self esteem will cost in mental health benefit from my government health plan. Probably thousands of dollars. And I want you Obamots to pay for it. Every last dime.

Amie Parnes explains:
Like presidents before him, when Obama reveals the current title on his nightstand, good things happen for that book.
The Heritage Foundation - Nile Gardiner,... points out another thing aside from that:
News conference by President Obama, ExCel Center, London, United Kingdom, April 2, 2009. [4] I would like to think that with my election and the early decisions that we've made, that you're starting to see some restoration of America's standing in the world. And although, as you know, I always mistrust polls, international polls seem to indicate that you're seeing people more hopeful about America's leadership.
CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart sees it this way:
Lynn June 14th, 2009 5:00 pm ET Pence should shut up and try to figure out health care.
Rachel Pastan sees it this way:
Larry Kramer Homo Sex in Colonial America No, there was no right word for it that you wanted to use for it if you were doing it. Buggery and...
Marc Ambinder scans the other's answers and reply:
My biggest gripe with the 'gay rights establishment' was the hypocrisy over who they officially chose to mourn, and get angry about. Matthew Shepard was the death that galvanized everyone. That was correct to do. But what about Sakia Gunn, the 15-year old African-American lesbian murdered in Newark in 2003? What about Steven Goedereis, a 29-year old man, murdered the same year Shepard was. His 2 teen killers alleged that the victim came onto him. It was the same old 'gay panic' motive, which was not supported by evidence and turned out to be a blatant lie. This man was targeted, and stomped so badly that blood shot up to an overhang. At the highly publicized trial, not one representative from a glbt organization could even be bothered to attend. I remember Mr. Goedereis' surviving partner contacting me and thanking me for being the only one that seemed to take an interest in the case.
Robert brings some great news:
No mention, no awareness, of the imperative within Islamic texts and teachings to subjugate Infidels.We also know that military power alone is not going to solve the problems in Afghanistan and Pakistan. That is why we plan to invest $1.5 billion each year over the next five years to partner with Pakistanis to build schools and hospitals, roads and businesses, and hundreds of millions to help those who have been displaced. And that is why we are providing more than $2.8 billion to help Afghans develop their economy and deliver services that people depend upon.

Obama From: Allahpundit Mike Lux Lindsey Ellerson Mike Allen Mark Silva Arthur Delaney Mark Silva Jill Lawrence Noreply@blogger.com (Tom Schaller) CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney JoAnne Allen Chris Edwards Cynthia Kouril Mark Silva Mark Silva /26737487
Allahpundit is absolutely sure that:
Ahmadinejad is not even the only guy in Iran s oppressive Islamo-Fascist regime. He s just one of them. Mir Hossein Mousavi also has a bloodstained history with him. He served as Prime Minister for the Khomeinist regime from 1981-1989. He was well-liked by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Mousavi helped to found Hezbollah and is an accomplice to the crime of killing 30,000 political prisoners. Khomeini issued a fatwa that calls for the killing of Salman Rushdie for publishing his book The Satanic Verses . Mousavi called Salman Rushdie an American mercenary and supports Khomeini s call to execute him.
Meanwhile, Mike Lux came up with this idea:
-Obama, in his first two months got the biggest stimulus bill in American history passed, along with the popular Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the SCHIP reauthorization, plus he reversed restrictions on embryonic stem-cell research.
Lindsey Ellerson comes with a new idea:
Posted by: Dewde | May 23, 2009 1:45:52 AM What makes any sane person think that the government can manage health care. Look at what the government has done to Social Security, Medicare, Public Housing, and now AIG. With this kind of a track record they have proven that they aren’t even capable of successfully operating the local burger stand. To start with where will the money come from and not cause an increase to the government debt any more than it is? In his entire 8 years in office Bush increased the debt of the US Government by roughly 4.8 Trillion dollars. In his first 60 days in office Obama has increased the debt of the government by 412.8 Billion dollars. At this rate he will increase the debt of the Government by 2.4 Trillion dollars in his first year alone and 9.9 Trillion dollars by the end of his 4 year term in office. Since the debt owed by the Government was 10.6 Trillion dollars when he took office an additional 9.9 Trillion will almost double the debt in just 4 years. This is money that the Government does not have. It was recently reported that the interest alone on the debt is nearing $1 Billion a day, that $365 Billion a year which when you look at it in those terms is a very large chunk of the federal budget. At this rate there is absolutely no money available for health care. Get real and realize that it is time to stop spending and do what should have been done long ago, cut all spending which is not specifically authorized in the constitution. There is NO money for healthcare, there is NO money for Cap and Trade, there is NO money for education reform or any other dreams in the upcoming budget. Look at what the government has done to Social Security, Medicare, Public Housing, and now AIG.
Still being unsure, Mike Allen asks:
One Cheney supporter referred to confusion and bewilderment among conservatives that Bush has not taken the same tack.
Mark Silva objects:
On Monday, the president will "start with the recognition that the health care system status quo is unsustainable and he'll outline the case for health care reform,'' White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today. "He'll make clear why we can't afford to wait another year or another administration to bring down costs that are crushing families, businesses, and government.''
Arthur Delaney remembers that:
But the benefits come with a price tag. After basic training, Johnston will have to serve one weekend a month and two weeks a year. And she will face the prospect of a war-zone deployment every few years in a six-year commitment.
Mark Silva thinks about it:
Seriously folks, do you Republicans really vote by listening to any of the "stars" or party "elites" such as Rush, Voight, or Gingrich? Same goes for the Democrats on the other side. Both sides sound like little brats...my daddy can beat up your daddy. I vote for myself and hat I think is morally right...not what some party tells me is right (or left:)). Posted by: lochnessmonster | June 9, 2009 5:47 PM
Mike Lux can't forget that:
-Truman, even though he was of the same party and followed many of the same policies, generally got worse coverage because he didn't succeed as much. Few of his domestic initiatives were enacted; he got bogged down in the Korean War; Republicans capitalized on his unpopularity to win congressional elections in 1946; his party lost in the 1952 landslide to Eisenhower.
As Jill Lawrence says:
research board website shows more than half the members are doctors).Obama spent considerable time at the AMA anticipating and countering lines of attack like that. "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period," he said. "If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period."
Allahpundit comes with a new idea:

noreply@blogger.com (Tom Schaller) also takes into account the following fact:
For example, there s the matter of what might be made of the polling about President Bush the Younger, within a fairly short period after 9/11 and for some time into 2003, up to the point where it became painfully clear to all but his true believers that there were no WMDs in Iraq, not even behind the door, under the couch or on the other side of the curtains.
CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney says it all comes down to this:
Claudia in Houson June 1st, 2009 9:38 pm ET Cheney was wrong for the country but was right for Halliburton and no one can dispute that fact. Since Cheney wants to do some lying, then maybe he can tell the truth about he and Halliburton.

Thinking that's not all, Cynthia Kouril adds:
The New York Times is reporting that the Obama Administration is considering changing the law to permit prisoners at Gitmo to plead guilty to death penalty cases without need for a trial. This is apparently a reaction to the stated desires of five Gitmo prisoners to become "martyrs."
While it may be true, noreply@blogger.com (Tom Schaller) thinks:
Another element of this is that some people are just worried about lots of things (the economy, earthquakes, etc.) and people who are "worriers" will also worry about terrorism. So when they are answering questions like this they may be responding to a general concern about events over which they have little control -- not about terrorism as such.
Mark Silva is rather skeptical:
"Obama promised to bring people together,'' the L.A. Times' Tina Daunt notes, "and he'll certainly be doing that tonight, when former DreamWorks partners Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen reunite to co-host dinner with President Barack Obama.
However, Mark Silva states that:
Americans may be wondering the same thing, on a broader scale.A Rasmussen poll last week showed that only 39% believed that stimulus spending would help the economy, compared with 44% who said it wouldn't.

As Max Boot says:
In the course of talking about democracy Obama even mentioned discrimination against Copts in Egypt ( Among some Muslims, there is a disturbing tendency to measure one s own faith by the rejection of another s ). This was the extent of his (indirect) criticism of his host, the dictator Hosni Mubarak. Perhaps he should have said more about Egypt s denial of basic human rights to its people as Bush once did. The problem, however, is that if you talk about human rights in Egypt, the question becomes: What are you willing to do to back it up? Personally, I thought the U.S. should have made Mubarak pay for such outrageous actions as the jailing of liberal opposition leader Ayman Nour by cutting his subsidies. But there was no appetite in the Bush administration for such action and there isn t in the Obama administration either. If we are going to support the Mubarak regime, it makes sense to soft-pedal criticism of it a point that even Bush tacitly acknowledged in his second term.

However, The Huffington Post News Editors states that:

kkeckcnn brings a word of caution:
Johnny, Houston, Texas May 23rd, 2009 4:01 pm ET I've always maintained that George Bush is a really fine person. He does have a good heart. His problem started when the GOP figured they could ride his family name into the White House. And they did. George Bush did the best a C- mind could do when confronted with A+ challenges.
MichaelJames explains:
However, TA & JKF states that:

Thinking that's not all, Patrick Disney adds:
Pye Ian: "This Planet Is Screaming For Change, Morrison...": Iranian Rage As Bait For US Engagement. The momentum now is clearly in favor of assisting a beleaguered, sophisticated class of young, educated, ambitious, mobilized and networked Iranian class who are boiling over with a textbook example of an outright rage against the machine.
js609163 intervenes and adds:
peter May 26th, 2009 4:47 pm ET Obama and Reid should thank this Republican Governor for not showing up to meet Obama because the news cast would be crazy reporting their ignorances as usual. I am glad this governor respect the whole nine yard rules of the game when it come to what should be done and what not is important. This is just nonesense because no matter Reps will do Reid will still hold his seat when all the dists settled in 2010. Obama/Clinton 2012.
Allahpundit tells the real story:
Remember the argument was that Bush would leave Obama with a mess that he would have to deal with. The truth is that Bush left Obama with a victory that he can take credit for even though he was against it. What a difference a lefty President can do for the media’s attitude.

Carol E. Lee is rather skeptical:

As Max Boot says:
In the course of talking about democracy Obama even mentioned discrimination against Copts in Egypt ( Among some Muslims, there is a disturbing tendency to measure one s own faith by the rejection of another s ). This was the extent of his (indirect) criticism of his host, the dictator Hosni Mubarak. Perhaps he should have said more about Egypt s denial of basic human rights to its people as Bush once did. The problem, however, is that if you talk about human rights in Egypt, the question becomes: What are you willing to do to back it up? Personally, I thought the U.S. should have made Mubarak pay for such outrageous actions as the jailing of liberal opposition leader Ayman Nour by cutting his subsidies. But there was no appetite in the Bush administration for such action and there isn t in the Obama administration either. If we are going to support the Mubarak regime, it makes sense to soft-pedal criticism of it a point that even Bush tacitly acknowledged in his second term.

Anyone with an education and an open mind (who doesn't have some financial reason for thinking otherwise) can not deny that Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in generations.

Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity – men and women – to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams.
Greg Mankiw is not really sure about that:

How to Decentralize Monetary Policy On Inequality How to Recapitalize the Financial System My Personal Work Incentives On Dogs, Names, and Boston How to Identify My Car
For example, Robert considers:

- Mubarak will meet Obama at Koubbah Palace only , he won t attend the speech in Cairo University according to Al-Muslamany s TV show on Dream TV 2 !!!! - I think his absence from the speech will raise many question marks about his condition after the death of his grandchild.
Robert gives a bit of an idea about it:
Assuming that such stereotypes actually exist, and that negativity toward Islam among non-Muslims isn't entirely a reaction to jihad violence and Islamic supremacism, why is this his responsibility? Is it his responsibility as President to fight against negative stereotypes of Christians as ignorant racist yahoos? Is it his responsibility as President to fight against negative stereotypes of Hindus? Jews? Black Americans? American Southerners? Californians? Or is it only his responsibility to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam? If the latter, why? On what basis? By what justification?
CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart says it all comes down to this:
An Office of Management and Busget representative tells CNN that in the next two to three weeks, the administration expects to use the new site, data.gov , to host more than 200,000 'datasets' groupings of governmental information like the results of the last government survey of residential energy use.

The Caucus brings some great news:

As a result of that, Pareene belives:
So yeah, this is just more typical liberal whining about how the guy who never really pretended to be anything more than a mainstream liberalish Democrat has turned out to be a mainstream liberalish Democrat, but still: WE WERE PROMISED A STEALTH SOCIALIST!

Anyway, it s obviously silly that such a huge percentage of the country thinks it s likely to suffer from a terrorist attack, as even the largest imaginable attack would actually affect a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the country s population. But there you have it.
CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney can't forget that:
mike June 2nd, 2009 12:28 am ET Obama is a very smart man, he Knows that he and the democrats have already destroyed Cheney's legacy. So, deep down he understands why Cheney is trying to save what little reputation he has left! What baffles me about Cheney is why was he silent during his tenure as vice president, and is deciding to speak out now? Wasn't it his job to defend the very policies he was advocating, and implementing at the time?
CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart considers that:

Obama From: Dipinion Allison Benedikt CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney Edhornick Michelle Malkin Kristina Wong Eman AbdElRahman Kristina Wong Kristina Wong The Huffington Post News Editors Danielle Cavallucci Tips@hotair.com (Hot Air Network, LLC) Ronald Maxwell Amie Parnes Rsinderbrand Erika Lovley /26715738
dipinion scans the other's answers and reply:
The new proposals from Obama came as the drive for health care reform reaches a pivotal juncture in Congress. On Monday, the Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to receive Congressional Budget Office estimates on a slew of health-care options. On Wednesday, the committee is expected to unveil proposed legislation.
Still not being convinced, Allison Benedikt replies:
As has already been pointed out: the drunkenness of the subjects is a non-factor. Mel Gibson might need a fifth of bourbon to call a lady sugar tits out loud, but you know he's always thinking it. And in terms of the editing: Well, sure, one has to assume that Blumenthal didn't care much for presenting a cross-section of opinion, but that doesn't make what he did present untrue.
For this reason, CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney says:
T Mckinley June 2nd, 2009 12:16 am ET I applaud our DEMOCRATALLY ELECTED President for standing up to former U.S. emperor Darth Haliburton and his lies. By now it is evident who was REALLY running the show during GWB's 8 years as our alledged "President."
Thinking that's not all, edhornick adds:
james June 6th, 2009 5:03 pm ET just tink the gulf war that saddam started never came to end even to this day people need to get story straight , read the veterans benefits book bush did not start war.
Michelle Malkin is not really sure about that:

In other words, Kristina Wong puts it this way:
Posted by: CarlinPA | May 25, 2009 9:48:27 PM I think Obama is entitled to play golf but at a time of war it was in the poorest of taste for him to do it today. The man is lacking in social graces.
Eman AbdElRahman also takes into account the following fact:
» Puerto Rico (U.S.) » Qatar » Republic of Congo » Reunion » Romania » Russia » Rwanda » Saint Helena » Saint Lucia » San Marino
Kristina Wong notices:
The President said he â€" and his daughters â€" have been watching with amazement the images that the crew has been sending back from the Hubble.
For this reason, Kristina Wong says:
The bottom line, the president told residents of the Badger State: the time is now. He wants a health care reform bill on his desk by October.
Before going any further, The Huffington Post News Editors wants to get this straight:
Share Print Comments New York Times : WHEN a Fox News anchor, reacting to his own network's surging e-mail traffic, warns urgently on-camera of a rise in hate-filled, "amped up" Americans who are "taking the extra step and getting the gun out," maybe we should listen. He has better sources in that underground than most. Read the whole story: New York Times
Similarly, Danielle Cavallucci adds:
- + oxi I'm a Fan of oxi I'm a fan of this user permalink "so many Americans who have enjoyed the spoils of the freedom they bled to preserve" Germany never attacked the U.S., so what freedom are you refering to?

tips@hotair.com (Hot Air Network, LLC) brings some great news:
The situation in Afghanistan demonstrates America’s goals, and our need to work together. Over seven years ago, the United States pursued al Qaeda and the Taliban with broad international support. We did not go by choice, we went because of necessity. I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11. But let us be clear: al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet Al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with.
Still being unsure, Ronald Maxwell asks:
Exhale me them centuries hence, breathe me their breath, let not an atom be lost, O years and graves! O air and soil! O my dead, an aroma sweet!
Similarly, Amie Parnes adds:
Sales quickly rose by 40 percent and as of last week, the book had sold more than 95,000 copies.
For this reason, rsinderbrand says:
Scott Hall June 9th, 2009 10:27 am ET don't you have to be a prophet to be a "false" prophet? I don't consider Obama anything but our current president Good or bad, like him or not, he's just the president.
Erika Lovley objects:
Until Michelle Obama writes a mega-selling diet book be it First Ladies Don t Get Fat or The South Lawn Diet two questions loom: What do the Obamas eat at home, and how do they stay so thin?

The new proposals from Obama came as the drive for health care reform reaches a pivotal juncture in Congress. On Monday, the Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to receive Congressional Budget Office estimates on a slew of health-care options. On Wednesday, the committee is expected to unveil proposed legislation.
Still not being convinced, Allison Benedikt replies:
As has already been pointed out: the drunkenness of the subjects is a non-factor. Mel Gibson might need a fifth of bourbon to call a lady sugar tits out loud, but you know he's always thinking it. And in terms of the editing: Well, sure, one has to assume that Blumenthal didn't care much for presenting a cross-section of opinion, but that doesn't make what he did present untrue.
For this reason, CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney says:
T Mckinley June 2nd, 2009 12:16 am ET I applaud our DEMOCRATALLY ELECTED President for standing up to former U.S. emperor Darth Haliburton and his lies. By now it is evident who was REALLY running the show during GWB's 8 years as our alledged "President."
Thinking that's not all, edhornick adds:
james June 6th, 2009 5:03 pm ET just tink the gulf war that saddam started never came to end even to this day people need to get story straight , read the veterans benefits book bush did not start war.
Michelle Malkin is not really sure about that:
# 116 On June 4th, 2009 at 4:40 pm, chilloutyo said: On the possible Scipio quote, all I could find is this .
In other words, Kristina Wong puts it this way:
Posted by: CarlinPA | May 25, 2009 9:48:27 PM I think Obama is entitled to play golf but at a time of war it was in the poorest of taste for him to do it today. The man is lacking in social graces.
Eman AbdElRahman also takes into account the following fact:
» Puerto Rico (U.S.) » Qatar » Republic of Congo » Reunion » Romania » Russia » Rwanda » Saint Helena » Saint Lucia » San Marino
Kristina Wong notices:
The President said he â€" and his daughters â€" have been watching with amazement the images that the crew has been sending back from the Hubble.
For this reason, Kristina Wong says:
The bottom line, the president told residents of the Badger State: the time is now. He wants a health care reform bill on his desk by October.
Before going any further, The Huffington Post News Editors wants to get this straight:
Share Print Comments New York Times : WHEN a Fox News anchor, reacting to his own network's surging e-mail traffic, warns urgently on-camera of a rise in hate-filled, "amped up" Americans who are "taking the extra step and getting the gun out," maybe we should listen. He has better sources in that underground than most. Read the whole story: New York Times
Similarly, Danielle Cavallucci adds:
- + oxi I'm a Fan of oxi I'm a fan of this user permalink "so many Americans who have enjoyed the spoils of the freedom they bled to preserve" Germany never attacked the U.S., so what freedom are you refering to? I would rephrase and call it Europe's freedom. Reply Favorite Flag as abusive Posted 10:22 AM on 06/07/2009
tips@hotair.com (Hot Air Network, LLC) brings some great news:
The situation in Afghanistan demonstrates America’s goals, and our need to work together. Over seven years ago, the United States pursued al Qaeda and the Taliban with broad international support. We did not go by choice, we went because of necessity. I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11. But let us be clear: al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet Al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with.
Still being unsure, Ronald Maxwell asks:
Exhale me them centuries hence, breathe me their breath, let not an atom be lost, O years and graves! O air and soil! O my dead, an aroma sweet!
Similarly, Amie Parnes adds:
Sales quickly rose by 40 percent and as of last week, the book had sold more than 95,000 copies.
For this reason, rsinderbrand says:
Scott Hall June 9th, 2009 10:27 am ET don't you have to be a prophet to be a "false" prophet? I don't consider Obama anything but our current president Good or bad, like him or not, he's just the president.
Erika Lovley objects:
Until Michelle Obama writes a mega-selling diet book be it First Ladies Don t Get Fat or The South Lawn Diet two questions loom: What do the Obamas eat at home, and how do they stay so thin?

Daniel Nasaw does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:

Before going any further, Mike Allen wants to get this straight:
Perino said Cheney s situation was a little bit different than Bush s because he is not a former president, and because he has been so viciously attacked across the board by the Democrats.
Jonathan Martin,Lisa Lerer tells the real story:
Democrats from farm states are some of the same moderate members Obama must win to get almost any piece of his agenda through the Senate: Landrieu and Sens. Max Baucus of Montana, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, and Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor of Arkansas. Without their votes, Democrats can t move legislation over Republican filibusters such as the one sure to come if the health care plan that moves through the Senate includes a public option supported by the administration.
Having that in mind, noreply@blogger.com (Tom Schaller) wonders:
5. i ll try to come into the comment sections periodically, but mostly will do so if i ve been unclear or to explain what i did or why i did it that way.
However, Human Rights Watch thinks differently:
Acknowledging the suffering of both Israeli and Palestinian people, Obama pressed both sides to take steps to end their conflict. He said the US did not support “continued Israeli settlements†in the Occupied Territories, and urged Hamas to stop the use of violence. Obama implicitly called on Israel to end its blockade of Gaza, noting “the continuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza does not serve Israel’s security.â€
The Huffington Post News Editors brings more details:
Remarks like these aren't inherently violent. They can be picked up, however, by individuals who are. "I think it is perfectly obvious that the birther movement has gained a large following on the radical right," said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center. "It may have emerged form the right wing of the Republican Party. But the reality is that it has been adopted by the most noxious elements out there and certainly John Von Brunn represents that element."
CNN Associate Producer Martina Stewart shows how it is done:
What we as the public can do, and as responsible citizens of the world, is let the Iranian regime know that we aren't going to stand for this type of crap and that there is no seat at the table for a country that so blatantly twists election results to fit their needs.
noreply@blogger.com (Tom Schaller) can't forget that:

The Caucus does a quick recap:
About The Caucus The latest on President Obama, Congress and other political news from Washington and around the nation from the staff of The New York Times. Caucus Chatter: A Q A on reader comments.
Meanwhile, Chris Weigant came up with this idea:
" Zakat " is the Third Pillar of Islam, and can be roughly compared to the Christian concept both of alms-giving and of "tithing." Laws passed after 9/11 have restricted charity money flowing from American Muslims, because some of that "charity" money doesn't always wind up funding such charitable purposes -- some false charities funnel money to terrorist groups. Which is why the laws were beefed up. But Obama is saying "maybe the laws are a bit too strict, let's see if we can improve them." This is an issue that isn't even on America's radar, but one with huge implications to Muslims, making it both a symbolic issue and a substantial one.
In contrast, The Huffington Post News Editors replies:
Story continues below advertisement The first new and controversial provision would authorizes $108 billion in U.S.-backed loans to be distributed by the International Monetary Fund. This money is a high priority for the President, who made the loan commitment at the April 2 Group of 20 "G-20" meeting in London -- attended by leaders of major industrialized and developing economies -- in an attempt to demonstrate U.S. support for countries struggling to stay financially afloat in the global recession.
However, Susie Madrak thinks differently:
Not all physicians are propping themselves up Sun, 06/14/2009 - 22:26 â€" Ali I know many physicians in my rural community who are working 70 hours a week, they drive late model autos, live in modest homes and they rarely see their kids. AND I know several physicians who are in favor of socialized medicine. So don't group them all together. There's a huge difference between a southern cal plastic surgeon and a rural family medicine doc serving low income patients. Login or register to reply
