The Liberal Media Attacks!........ State Schools?!?!

[JazMerkin]

OK so you are basing your argument on this guy Krayeske not being a member of the media? Maybe it is a reasonable question from a student but it was an improper time to ask it and Krayeske didn't take into account #1 the money that (men AND women's) basketball makes for the school and #2 If Jim Calhoun is making such great money then he's more than likely forking over a great deal of it to the State and Federal Government via taxes.

Kirkland you bring up a good point, I wonder why the LIBERAL MEDIA ignoring how the LIBERAL government is handing out billions in welfare to keep companies afloat

They ignored trillions that Bush handed out in welfare, now they're doing the same to Obama. So they're equal opportunity enablers.

Apart from America's news channel that hosts ex-CIA and military people discussing war games and revolution against the Obama tyranny :

FDR got in office in 1933 and the unemployment rate didn't fall below 10% until 1941 and for his entire time as President the average unemployment was 13%.....FDR was a great leader, there is no doubt about it but I just figure those numbers say something else about his handling of the economy.

How anyone can carry the water for Jimmy Carter is beyond me...he caused the reccession in the 1980's and he took a weak stance on the energy crisis.

No he didnt,Reagans early tax cuts did.
Which is why he rescinded them

I can remember a time when it was unpatriotic or worse to even criticise a US president with the nation at war.

When FDR took office the unemployment rate was 26% so he did a fantastic job reducing it. Of course the thing that finally ended the Depression-era bad economy was the huge government spending programme known as World War Two.

Jimmy Carter did cause the recession by putting interest rates up to double digits. It was the only way to end the double digit inflation caused by his GOP predecessors. That was the act of a strong leader, as was his handling of the energy crisis. What do you think would have been a "strong" response to the 1970s energy crisis Lyle?

Anybody else notice that while Beck is using his catch phrases and bullet points,he never gives an example? "disenfranchised" "tyranny" "incompetence" et all?
Its allmost like he's reading a pre-prepared script
Oh wait,he was

I'm sorry Kirkland, I didn't know how truly difficult it was for Jimbo to be on tv and tell Americans to wear sweaters and turn the thermostat down....what a patriot.

Glenn Beck is irrelevant...luckily for Obama he's loved by virtually all of the media and he is never questioned or criticized by them

So some freelance nutter at a sports game shows the media is run by liberals while a bunch of fruit loops discussing overthrowing the government on a primetime show on America's most-watched news channel is irrelevant. I see.

What would a "strong" reponse to the 1970s energy crisis have looked like?

What do you want me to say about Glenn Beck? I really don't care about the guy, I don't watch Fox News.....I watch The Simpsons on FOX but I don't watch Fox News at all....I couldn't even tell you what # channel it is. I do enjoy watching MSNBC though (channel 59 here) because the doe eyed adoration that people like Olberman and Chris Matthews have for Obama is comical....Kirkland, do you get a tingly feeling up your leg when Obama speaks?

A strong response would have been for the President to get off his ass and do something...diplomacy anyone Make a deal or make a move for fucks sake don't just sit back and tell Americans that wearing a fucking sweater and turning the thermostat down is going to help things out that was grossly negligent and incompotent on the part of Jimmy Carter

Or maybe they should grossly deregulate the banking and Oil industries.
Oh wait,the outgoing administration did that
Maybe deregulating the food industry will help cut down the amount of poisonous recalls of food
Damn again,the previous administration did that,and recalls skyrocketed
Again,Lyle,not Rush Limbaugh mythos,like telling me there really was a Minatour,name something that deregs,and tax breaks have actually fixed,not ruined

[El Kabong]

Oh excuse me I forgot that bureaucracy cures all ills and soon it will be doing exactly that with Universal Healthcare....I LOVE going to Court, I LOVE going to the Post Office, I LOVE going to the DMV, I LOVE going to the IRS, and soon thanks to Obama and co. I can get the same attitude while I am sick and in dire need of medical attention.

That's exactly what Carter did. He did a deal with the Saudis and over the next few years the Saudis ramped up oil production, flooding the world market and causing the oil price to drop to a few dollars a barrel. This meant that interest rates could be dropped without inflation picking up again and also had the benefit of taking away huge quantities of hard currency from the Soviet Union, something that Gorbachov said was the main thing that allowed him to overrule the rest of the Politburo and start glasnost, which led to the end of the Cold War. Carter just wasn't around to reap the benefits of his earlier work.

I Love having my medical attention denied by health care tycoons,.I just adore paying a fortune for health insurance that really isnt health insurance but bargaining power,I love having my water poisoned,and my air,and my food
I love having no recompense to sue for recompense.

Trainer if that's the way you see it then fine....but don't sit there and expect me to accept everything O-ba-ma does with open arms, I'm going to question everything he and his liberal buddies do

Obama has his question marks no doubt. I've been less than impressed with what he has said so far on Israel/Palestine for instance.

But in terms of dealing with the economy there is no doubt that change is neccessary and a big rethink is in order. Bush allowed this situation to slide by and didn't batter an eyelid. At least Obama is getting out there and attempting to rectify things. You had better hope Obama pulls you through 'coz things really don't look too peachy looking at America from afar. It's sink or swim time. God knows what another Republican administration would have led too. It doesn't bear thinking about.
