Ms. Couric has credibility?

Ms Couric, we are angry due to the progressive attempts to “remake” America, a country apart, and one that is the sole beacon of freedom and hope in the world. We are angry at the huge amount of public debt being piled up by this administration that will result in the tax enslavement of our children and grandchildren. We are angry that liberal bleeding hearts are trying to tell US citizens what they must do regarding their health, banks, cars, power usage, etc. Get it? Besides, anger and toughness is the only thing liberals understand; and frankly, I do not think all of us are near angry enough!

Oh, How I wish they would understand the values that made this country great.  How wise our founders were, yes, even WHITE men.  They were not perfect, but they were wise as a group.  They overcame at a special time. 

Katie, any person that lives close to the land KNOWS that what’s going on doesn’t make sense.  All the knowledge of things in the world doesn’t make one WISE…  watching and learning does.  I’m a social worker—I help people for a living—and what is being proposed doesn’t stand the test in SOCIAL WORK 101.  NEVER make the client’s problem your own.  You lose your objectivity, and you become too emotionally involved.  The client’s problem STAYS the client’s problem.  Doesn’t mean you can’t help, just means you are very careful NOT to do TOO MUCH.  How many trillions have to be borrowed before it’s TOO MUCH???

It is an unfortunate fact that most Americans only turned off “American Idol” & (their namesake) “The Biggest LOSER” when they hurried to cast their votes for this Muslim.

I’m angry that our representatives chose to represent Obama instead of us. And that Obama seems to be working for Soros and the UN instead of the United States.

That is the story, Katie!  Do your job and follow that and leave us alone.

How is this possible???????

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2009/10/23/eight-figure-couric-demands-humility-seven-figure-wall-streeters

Katie Couric has demanded “humility” from Wall Streeters making seven-figure incomes.  This from a woman pulling down . . . eight figures [an estimated $15 million/year] from CBS while cementing the Evening News’ caboose status.

Couric made her hypocritical plea in her “Notebook” segment yesterday, commenting on Pres. Obama’s pay czar’s plan to cut compensation for employees of financial firms that have received bail-out bucks [emphasis added]:

  Critics of the proposed cuts say the big salaries attract the best talent – and that capitalism keeps the government out of private sector pay.

  But Wall Street’s seven figure Svengali got us into this mess in the first place. And taxpayers kept them afloat. Now isn’t the time to pat themselves on the back. A little humility, not hubris, is in order.

We can debate the merits of the Obama admin plan.  And it’s true that, as far as I know, neither CBS nor its corporate parents received bailout funds [in contrast with, say, Keith Olbermann’s corporate parent GE, whose GE Finance arm got a $139 billion government loan guarantee].

Even so, is it really Couric’s place to preach humility to others for what she sees as their inflated salaries?

“The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the
oppressed.”—Steve Biko

Couric is standing up for the Liberal Marxists, what does that say about her and the rest of the Lame Stream Media.

Hi Barb, I have made the case for G.E. and Jeffery Immelt, who should have been up on charges of Treason for selling Iran sophisticated electronic parts and equipment “during the Embargo” our of G.E.‘s Britain Office. As a result we have had massive boycotts of G.E. Products, which have worked.

Even after all this with Immelt, he was invited to join the White House…he also owns all the T.V. stations such as; NBC, MSNB, and several other Cable channels…And they get a Bail Out???

This Administration is out for one thing (and it is not the American People), a One World Currency, thus the massive spending of money we do not have), and a One World Government, turning our sovereignty to the U.N…Not to mention the myth of Global Warming so he can pass Cap and Trade, which will allow his goals to be reached, ObamaCare was the first steps.

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” – Thomas Jefferson

Not meaning to change the subject, this Nigerian Terrorist on the NWA flight, is banned from Great Briton for his ties to terror, G.B. put him in the Airline Tides database. He then flew from Nigeria to Amsterdam, and on to the U.S. (Detroit). Thankfully the bombing did not work, however that is NOT what is really important. If Briton denied him entry into the U.K., so why or how was he allowed to continue his trip. Nigeria does not do any real security procedures, but The Netherlands should have.

Worse yet, the father of the bomber contacted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria and reported to the Americans that his son had become radicalized, and was in warning the U.S. that he most likely was involved with Al Qaeda in Yemen.

Mind you, our Government has yet to refer to this young man as a Terrorist, just as they did the same with Major Nedal at the Ft. Hood killings, and despite his contacts with an Al Qaeda Yemeni Cleric.

Fox News interviewed DHS Secretary Napolitano by Peter Jackson Jr. and other Fox News anchors, she attempted to dodge all their questions as to what happened, and why he was not on our No Fly List, but was on our Tides list (a database of suspected people who are considered terrorists, or have terror ties, I would love to know how he was missed. Peter Johnson would not let up on her claims the list was part of the Bush Admin…It has been a year since Bush was in office, it is now up to the new DHS to take care of business.

She actually told Fox that the system worked after the attempt…What in the hell is that type of statement? Would the “System” worked had he succeeded? NO!

Under Bush, the DHS had all of our agencies working together and sharing information, Obama has now undone that order, and are now prohibited from info sharing…THAT is why it was never picked up on.

I do not care what anyone thinks of Bush, but he had the right idea, more terror plots were thwarted during his term in office after the WTC attacks, due to the media, there are hundreds more the Lame Stream Media never reported.

A few weeks back, Briton’s Mi-6 have told the U.S. of 24 more airline attacks by terrorists, yet we had not heard that from our Media or Government, until Fox obtained the report.

If you all recall, Obama thought it best to “Talk” to Iran, other Muslim countries and Dictators…And how has that worked out for him? Did he actually think Iran would listen…during their talks, the secretly built even more uranium processing facilities. Not to mention the development of more and more powerful missile delivery systems…And still nothing from the Admin., not ever an embargo.

Then there was the other Nigerian man who was allowed to board planes “without a passport” from, on the same flight the Bomber made.

I believe Obama is protecting Muslims; I have posted a link before which shows Obama on several occasions using a meeting room in the White House where he and other Muslims are praying to Allah. This is a difficult prayer (done 5 times a day) yet Obama knows the prayer and rituals which accompany them).

The FIRST job of any American President is to protect our citizens, not going very well, is it?

“Not meaning to change the subject, this Nigerian Terrorist on the NWA flight, is banned from Great Briton for his ties to terror, G.B. put him in the Airline Tides database. He then flew from Nigeria to Amsterdam, and on to the U.S. (Detroit). .”

I have no doubt that the spin doctors of the Obama Administration are busily trying to figure out how they can blame this…as in everything else on George Bush.

The whole terrorist incident does not not really seem to be of any importance to the Obamas.  Thank goodness it’s obviously not interfering with their 10 day vacation in HI in their wonderful rental house that someone is paying $4000 a day for. OOOooopps.  Add the $2000 or $3000 a day for Obama friends and family members.

Couric….you tried to dance around the topic.  Seems you are starting to see that the liberal agenda is not working. Ditto to the many great comments already left here !!! 
Liberals: weak on terrorism, weak on protecting our homeland, weak on economy, weak on fiscal responsibility, weak on unifying the country, weak on appointments (homosexual safe schools czar), weak on support of constitution, rule of law, and weak on moral principles !!!! We can’t afford another Jimmy Carter.

Yes, we’re angry. Why? Because we see our freedoms fading away. At whom? Congress and the Administration. What are we doing about it? Web sites, blogs, TEA parties, Fair Tax movements, gun rights movements, Congressional overthrow in 2010….

Visit http://www.keepyourpowderdry.net for more Q & A.

Everyone here seems to agree…Thank God! As Peter Finch playing the role of Howard Beale said in the movie, “I’m Angry as hell, and I am not going to take it anymore”.

Well, I have been that way since Obama was elected, why…because I had already been doing my research on him on Lexis-Nexis Search, if it has ever been in print, media, magazines, police reports, FBI…ect. it can be found in Lexis-Nexis.

It was not a pretty sight, I saw a follower and not a leader, but had strong political ties, especially in Corrupt Chicago dirty politics.

I saw a Marxist with Communist ties, and far too weak to be the President of the United States, with a damning, dangerous agenda. He has not let my expectations down…In fact I believe our Commander in Chief may well be an Undocumented Worker (in their PC terms).

Unlike most of our Government, I have read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, ObamaCare and forced insurance and/or monetary fines and the threat of Jail for not having coverage, is Unconstitutional.

Harry Reid stuck a page in the Bill which would deny any future Senate/President to change or resend any part of Health Care (if passed), is also NEVER been done before, which is also unconstitutional…they just make up the rules as they go!

Our freedoms do not matter to these people, and they are further eroding.

Did you ever find anything that showed Obama had taken and passed the bar exam?  I have not been able to find anything saying he ever passed the bar exam.  Looked at the Google site, and saw that both Hillary C, and Michelle O. took and passed the bar exam on their second try.

In defense of Katy, she attracts an audience to the spiels of her advertisers, and they buy! If y’all were selling something and she could bring you purchasers would you not reward her?
How much? As much as your profit margin permitted.

It is essential that we elect a conservative congress in 2010, and that they undo all the evil perpetrated by the Rothschild employees currently in power.
But, we will not, as they control the media and we are both apathetic and, politcally pathetic.

We will do not much but grouse, as per the germans under Hitler, the russians under Stalin, and at some point they will forbid us even to grouse.

But, no matter what their machinations, no matter how many they kill, enslave, impoverish, in the end they must face God’s judgment. And then they get theirs.  Eternal, irrevocable, punishment of the most awful kind. Earned and deserved.

Upside pragmatically, the defeat of evil must coincide with the triumph of virtue. But there is no party of virtue with which to align onesself.
The Jackass Party is blatant evil, and the Goofy Ornery Party is but slightly less perverted.

Lets call up Dr. Alan Keyes and see if he will be our Lee Kwan Yew.

I agree that our freedoms mean absolutely nothing to this administration. And neither does the health care of Americans. It is absolutely all about having total control power over the masses; as well as to destroy The American ecomony.  And the quicker, the better ! And why everyone is not able to wake up and figure that out by now, is beyond me.  I also am beginning to believe after listening to people like Van Jones and Anita Dunn, along with some of the other selected Commuist and Marxist loving Czars, that this current administration actually might welcome more disaster and terroism inside this country, as to speed up the wreckage of the American economy. Seriously. I cannot help but wonder with all of their politcal correctness and with all of their continuous wreckless spending, and higher taxes, and lower employment rates. 

And I also agree that American people do not seem to be angry enough yet; and I wonder just how much more we will take.  This administration is absolutely frigtening, and I believe that many of us, (who have been paying very close attention) are actually already living in a state of tyranny these days. It doesn’t look good for us unless we can manage to fire all of those theives and liars and lap dogs on The Hill, who are referring to themselves as representatives of the people of The United States.

cynical,

Do you just have an innate need to be heard? Or just to show everyone you are not only wrong but ignorant of the facts…I choose both!

You Obamanista’s are ruining a great country, Nobama is not cleaning anything up, he is making it worse…or do you approve of Marxism. The man could not run a McDonald’s much less a Country (My apologies to McDonald’s). He makes Bush 43 look like one of the greatest Presidents ever, at least he was not an appeaser, and our enemies were damned well afraid of Bush. I could care less if we are liked by other nations, they do not like us any more now than when GW was in office.

The Muslim loving Administration will not even call Major Hassan and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (NWA bomber attempt) terrorists, while both of them have Al Qaeda ties in Yemen with the same person (who has been called a Terror Leader by other Muslims)…Worse yet he allows them to have US Civil Liberties and Miranda Rights???

Janet Napolitano (DHS Secretary) cannot seem to make her mind up as to whether or not the “System” worked…One day she says it did work, a day later she says it failed, our Homeland Security is now a Joke! And what do they do, they blame Bush for Abdulmutallab not being on the No Fly List. Someone please explain to me how that is Bush’s fault, since he was not reported until his Father in Lagos reported him to the US Embassy in Nigeria in June of 2009.

Do you realize since the Boy King was inaugurated, we have had 14 reported Terror Incidents in 2009 alone…More than the eight years of Bush; it is due to obama being weak.

Personally I would at the very least have a President who knows how to tell the truth (at least a few times), and aligns himself with criminals in the Administration (not to mention the Liberal Marxists in both Houses), who have to buy votes to pass Bills, and a man who even has a SET…you know what I mean. Most of us are also sick of having a corrupt State Run Media.

As for you cynical, take your lies somewhere else, we deal in truth here.

Seems as though cynical’s remarks and replies to him have been deleted??? Okay with me

Wes, Re: Post#16
I noticed that as well, and it is more than okay with me too ! I find it so amazing, as well as upsetting,  that characters like TK/Cynical, Katie Couric (along with a long list the other mentally disturbed liberals), have not been able to finally wise up after a year of Obama’s completely obvious Marxist policies, which are further destroying our economy and freedoms.  Unless of course, those liberals are all actually hoping to be living under a Marxist dictatorship one day. Perhaps that is what they really and truely desire…for everyone to be equally poor (like in Cuba),as well as being dependent on the govt for everything.  (sigh)           

By the way, thanks for mentioning the Lexis Nexis website. Appreciated.

Diane,

I suppose that clear thinking Americans who can see through the BS by said Liberals/Marxists agendas (especially in the Media) think we are ignorant of what is going on…those of us who can see through the crap are not followers. We who post here, the majority are free intelligent thinkers who believe in what the founding fathers had in mind for making this the best country on earth. It explains why so many want to move here, and get away from Government Run Tyranny, and to enjoy the freedoms we have.

Those are now eroding, I may have not liked many of the things Clinton did in office, but he at least ran the country for the most part from the middle. Even he was against Hillary Care…

Our youth for too many years have been allowed to themselves to be indoctrinated, if you cannot pass a class on merit, they just promote you anyway (blame that on lazy Liberal Unionized Teachers). Who are most of the old Hippies of the 1960’s and the radicals who also came from that period. To them, everything is a “Right”, freedom of speech was allowed to go too far, it gave them the feeling it was okay to yell Fire in a crowded Theater.

Today they are telling Americans that Health-Care is a “Right”, it is not in the Constitution, nor is giving rights to one group of people and not another. I have not seen in that wonderful document where it says, the Government is here to tell you how to live, what wages you can make, or that the redistribution of wealth is okay…and it sure as hell does not allow government to force their will upon you.

Just as it does not tell the Government they can just allow others to take your land away, owning land IS a right. I have yet to see where it says that the President, his/her Administration, the Senate or Congress to lie to you. Welfare is NOT a right either, but I can understand it if one is unable to work with no one to help, such as a family member. If you are able to work, you do not need welfare. We have become a “Give it to me for nothing” country.

When over 70% of the Country who do not want to change Health Care, it should not be forced upon us…It is not the Government’s job to force its will against those who put them in office. The only job growths in this country right now, are Government jobs. This country was in great financial shape until the dems took both houses in 2006. Owning a home is not a right either, and we are still doing the very same thing which brought the economy down in the first place, allowing people to buy homes they cannot afford, most that are being given mortgages (sub-prime) cannot even pay their utilities in an apartment.

As Thomas Jefferson said, “When you have a Government who runs the People, you have tyranny. When you have the People running the Government, you have freedom.”

BTW-Lexis-Nexis is not free, nor can just anyone use the system. I just happen to know people with access; my former company are members, and others I know.

This Socialist undertaking in America has been in the works for decades. There was and is a vast network of institutions and organizations that have coordinated this conspiracy right under the watchful eyes of our Justice system.
Apparently they have agents in every field and agency in this country and abroad.
Defeating this will take an act of GOD.
It may suprise you to know that this very form of media and political sychronisation has been tried and tested in many countries, that rely on substantial financial assistance from the U.N,IMF,IDB,World Bank and significantly the U.S for their Annual Budgets.
Selected Third World countries were used in testing this media and political system. The sad thing was when the opposition parties in these respective countries complained to the West begging them to persuade these Governments to allow the Opposition access to their Local Media, the U.S and E.U disregarded their pleas and continued to fund that partisan and biased media.
Today Americans face the same problem but on a grander scale.
Thank God America still is the bastion of democracy and every American is guaranteed the Right to Bear Arms.
Beware when “they” seek to remove that RIGHT.

A.B,

There is no doubt in my mind that it is in the works, taking our firearms away from us, earlier in the year when Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano released the “Internal Threat” memo to the FBI, CIA, NSA, and Police, it was quickly leaked to the public. I have a copy of the PDF file which was sent out.

There is still a copy of the DHS Memo on WND’s web site:

http://www.wnd.com/images/dhs-rightwing-extremism.pdf

From page 6 of the Memo:

“(U//FOUO) Open source reporting of wartime ammunition shortages has likely spurred
rightwing extremists—as well as law-abiding Americans—to make bulk purchases of
ammunition. These shortages have increased the cost of ammunition, further
exacerbating rightwing extremist paranoia and leading to further stockpiling activity.
Both rightwing extremists and law-abiding citizens share a belief that rising crime rates
attributed to a slumping economy make the purchase of legitimate firearms a wise move
at this time.

(U//FOUO) Weapons rights and gun-control legislation are likely to be hotly contested
subjects of political debate in light of the 2008 Supreme Court’s decision in District of
Columbia v. Heller in which the Court reaffirmed an individual’s right to keep and bear
arms under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but left open to debate the
precise contours of that right. Because debates over constitutional rights are intense, and
parties on all sides have deeply held, sincere, but vastly divergent beliefs, violent
extremists may attempt to co-opt the debate and use the controversy as a radicalization
tool.”

On page 7 it talks about returning Military who may join “Right Wing” Militias…Our own soldier being thought to be a threat?

The same month that memo was released, I suppose no one remembers Obama’s speech in that same month that “…he was building a ‘Civilian Army’ trained and equipped as well as the Military.”

Yeah, I saved that web page too (it had the contents of the speech), which mind you is no longer to be found on the Internet.

Do you also find it odd that obama is working with the government in Yemen to kill the Imam who had been in contact with Major Hasan before he killed 13 Soldiers and wounded 30 others at Ft. Hood, it is the same Imam who had been in touch with the NWA bomb attempt. When obama got word from Yemen that they thought they knew where he was staying, a Predator Drone made an air strike attempt to kill him, but later found he had not been in the building at the time of the air strike. Would it not have been better to capture him, Yemen is very disorganized and would be easy to get to him, but obama would rather see him dead than captured.

You are correct that this has been going on for quite some time now.
