We just experienced eight years of Republican control with no tolerance for debate or criticism, much less bipartisanship and now they are acting less like an opposition party and more like an obstructionist party.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that President Barack Obama has increased the nation’s risk of terrorist attacks by jettisoning key elements of the Bush administration’s aggressive approach.

BRAVO JOHN STEWART….BRAVO! It is extremely refreshing to hear and see someone on T.V…..in the media, tell it like it is with no holds barred. John Stewart of The Daily Show called out Jim Cramer for pushing Bear Stearns stock right up until the company collapsed.

Eight million people are at risk of losing their homes because Wall Street abandoned responsible lending practices to gain short-term profits. The housing crisis is not just a problem for families facing foreclosure - it’s a problem for every homeowner in America. As long as foreclosures persist, home values will keep going down, and everyone loses. Here is one solution.

President Obama’s new budget represents a huge break with policy trends over the past 30 years and if he can get anything like the plan he announced on Thursday through Congress, he will set America on a fundamentally new course.

The Lang Report is tremendously grateful to and ecstatic about the permission it has been given by Dr. Robert P. Watson, Ph.D, to published his articles. The enclosed article was written prior to the current hoopla over the “stimulus bill” and the Republican Party’s defiant attitude and unwillingness to vote for it. Politics? You bet it is.

Bush ducked to avoid the tossed footwear.

In the movie, the war in Iraq is seen as W’s (Bush Jr,) way of redeeming himself in the eyes of his ‘Poppy’ (Bush Sr.) after a life of f**kups and bail-outs. Everything else….the WMDs, Iraq’s nuclear program and the terrorist threat is window dressing to his real motives.

I received this email yesterday from Robert Duncan, Chairman of the Republican National Committee using the accomplishments of outgoing (Yea!) President George Bush as a device to raise money for the RNC. If I was told afterwards that this was a joke I would have an easier time believing it to be so than a genuine plea for a donation, which, as it turns out, is legitimate.

Raul Castro officially replaced his brother, Fidel, as president in February which gave many Americans, especially Cuban-Americans cause for optimism that maybe now Cuba will begin to return to a more friendly, democratic country. However it seems that Raul is no pushover and may not be so quick to reconcile with the United States….at least not while Fidel is alive,
