The stimulus is one of the reasons Obama was voted in.  I mean, he campaigned under putting money into the infrastructure of America.  You can't act all surprised about it now.


Thank God Obama got this stimulus legislations passed.  At least now the people of Beverly Hills have a shot at taking some of those tacky looking cracks in their roads out with a regrind and repave of the roads ins Beverly Hills for $10 million!  Oh..and the thousands of jobs that will be created in "Old Sacramento" by the tunnel proposed to connect them for $750 million.
It's not the small or large amounts of money..its the "criticial" nature of the "shovel ready" proposed projects.  Oops..almost left out the $6 billion for a high speed rail link between Disneyland and Las Vegas!  In my own State of New Jersey.$5 million for an "emergency" swewer program for Edison, NJ!  Where is the emergency; if it was an "emergency" what the hell are local officials waiting for...oops...YOUR tax dollars!  Yep..since there are really is no other reasons I can think of why so many were so convicted by his elequence, and old professional pundits got "chills up their legs when Barrack spoke" you must be right.. these are the reasons why Obama was voted into the Oval Office.  Excuse me....?   This is "Stimulus"?

High speed rail between California and Las Vegs....hmmmm.let's consider this....one of the hardest hit cities in the USA by this economic malaise....Las Vegas....the largest patronizers of the city come from where?....but, Lord knows we wouldn't want to confuse with facts! or logic when your political leanings seem to determine each and every one of your posts. There are part of the plan that deserve attention....the ones you chose are not great examples.

Status: offline 		I have sent numerous emails to Fox to complain that they are too dern "balanced" in their newscasts.  I want to see more informed "commentary" instead of news such as we are lucky to get from a Wolf Blitzer on CNN, or that perky little gal on CBS..Kathie Couric, and that nice young man Anderson Cooper, Goria Vanderbuilts' youngest child. , .  Thank God I can be told what I should know by these "journalists".  Shame on Fox!

Or CBS, or News Week, or the New York Times, or CNN, or Reuters... the majority are far to the left of the general population. That's why more balanced outlets such as FOX NEWS consistently have much better ratings than any of them.

I'll tell you how it falls short of mine.

A couple weeks ago I was watching one of Blagojevich's statements being shown live on Fox.

Now, keep in mind this was not a commentary, not a talk show, but a live news broadcast.

The news anchor kept inserting voiceovers throughout mocking and criticizing the governor.

Now I'm no fan of Blagojevich, but that was the most juvenile and unprofessional thing I've ever seen.

I honestly had to doublecheck to make sure I wasn't watching an SNL re-run parodying Fox.



(Sorry for continuing the hijack Owner, but I couldn't resist throwing this in.)

They do not produce a single peace of news or break stories or investigate.Nothing.

Fox just comments on,spins,distorts,partially deletes (and makes shit up,ie,lies) about news stories from other outfits.

They sit,wait and throw bricks when the opportunity pops up,but otherwise produce nothing on their own.

"Fair and Balanced" is a cruel joke they play on America.Another joke they played on America,....bush.

Judging by their ratings, even Liberals depend on FOX NEWS for fair and balanced coverage over all the other cable news that's out there.

So apparently, you bitch about Fox News on forums like this one by day, and then you go and watch Shepard Smith and Bill O'Reilly at night...

Yeah, it's sort of like watching the freak show at the carnival.

You could be pointing out clowns like Chris "Thrill up his leg" Mathews or Keith "Bush Rant" Overmann.

Oh, and if you hurry it's probably still not too late to get your official CNN "Obama raises a hand and lifts a nation" t-shirt

I`m part of those numbers, too.

I also heard a guy from Nielson say that more than half the people who tune into Rush,listen for less than 60 seconds(on average),which meant they were channel surfing and not on board with the Rush`ns.

Those folks, are also counted by the Rush`ns,as ditto heads.They`re clueless and won`t admit this anyway.It`s automatic.

I wouldn't put such habits as news watching in such personal terms and if you ever catch me watching Fox News call the cops...I have been abducted and replaced by an impostor.
Old Rupert was smart in hiring Ailes to run Fox and to tune into the paranoia those who watch the station seem to feed on. Keep watching...I am sure Rupert could use a few more bucks!....

You know I was worried that the Long Ears would be too smart and people wouldn't catch them in all their political deception and bullshit before they forgot just how pissed off everyone was with the Long Trunks.

I might be wrong on that point though...

Status: offline 		  When the show was hannity and colmes nobody could rationally argue the democrat side wasn't presented equally.  Even in its current form of just "Hannity" the panel usually has 2 liberals for the all American panel.  This is very unlike shows on MSNBC with hosts such as KEITH who just about always refuses to have someone he disagrees with him on the show.  The most recent example had him saying they can buy air time for commercials on his show to air there opposing POV.  Guess Keith's argument is to weak to standup against them or ratings so low he needs the incoming $$$$?
