I am a fan of Olbermann. He is real good in his job.

You are joking, right? He may be the only one in the Media who has been fired more times than in all of the media up to this year.

He is crude, rude, a political hack, vulgar, dishonest person in the Lamestream Media there is…And in the company of many just as bad, Matthews (worked for Carter), Maddow, and others. Their ratings are lower than RFD-TV. As with all the so-called media, it is not news if you do not give equal time to the other side, thus they all the MSM have in essence become a State Run Media.

Last week, the CBO finally came out with the real numbers on the Bush Era, as it turns out Bush only left Obama with $840 Billion in Debt. The $700 Billion in TARP, was fully supported by all Democrats/Liberals by an overwhelming majority, the loudest supporter was Senator Obama.

In fact it was past the Fiscal Year, thus counted on Obama’s watch due to the votes for TARP was passed with barley any Republican support…to me perhaps Bush’s biggest mistake.

Economics 101 tells you, there is no way to ‘spend’ your way out of a recession, you do not add taxes to businesses, doing so can cause a depression. Obama said his Stimulus package would keep unemployment below 8%, but it went to 10.2% with the stimulus. What has brought the unemployment numbers down, is directly related to Government hiring. We currently have 17.6 million people who have lost their jobs, mostly due to the rise in Capital Gains Taxes.

Americans have less freedoms than ever before, and it will only get worse till Obama is replaced with someone who gives a damn about this country.

To wesley #2 Maybe he IS joking. Sarcasm is hard to read,,so is tongue-in-cheek humor,in black & white. Then again, maybe he deserves to be scorched,as you just did. You can pick-up RFD-TV??
WOW!!ha-ha I watch when they talk ‘bout horses.
I’ve started to watch CNBC & MSNBC recently.WHY?

        THE OLYMPICS         why else??

Shane_b1968 complained that his blogs were removed
& his complaint showed up as a “Reply”????
I used a 4-letter word & AIM changed it to ####,,
I apologize for “Conduct Unbecoming”

Yeah, we actually get it locally, and on Dish Network (RFD-TV).

I missed the US/Canada Hockey game due to it being on MSNBC…had I known I would have watched live. But since so few actually saw it, it was replayed after midnight the following night and caught it on CNBC. Helluva game!

He must have posted he “reply” using another IP address, that one may now be blocked as well. Aim reads as many of our comments as possible, if they have seen yours, it was a one time thing…frankly I never saw it, but I am sure you were forgiven by the sight…it is the ones who use the ultra foul language often who get booted.

No apologiy for me is needed, we all get frustrated at the morons who invade our space. I never go to their sites and post.

Wesley #4,Was that the MEN’s game or the womens game???.I saw the womens game,won by Canada. I think I saw the mens game (no short term memory)Ha
Think it will come down to US vs Canada in the Gold medal game????  Bring back the AMATEURS!!!
I read some sites to get all sides,whether I agree or not,but I usually post only here cause I am such a SLOW typist,Ha-ha
I live in the Adirondacks,,if you don’t have (a)dish,,you don’t have,,period.  too far for cable.
My local news calls the local kids in the Olympics,,TEAM US,as in WE. If you add the medals won by kids from No.NY,VT.& NH,,it’s more than China,the Swiss,& a Doz. other countries. I’ll bet they can’t do RODEO,,ha-ha   GO TEAM USA

Morning Major, it was the Men’s Hockey game…last night the US beat the Fins in Men’s hockey 6-1 (scored 5 goals in 6:25 in first period), so Team USA are in the finals. It will be USA vs Canada on Sunday @ 3pm (Eastern) on NBC local. Rodeo <laughing> I would love to see them try.

USA has done exceedingly well in the Nordic competitions

Adirondacks, huh…nice part of NY, some beautiful country up there.

While working overseas, I bought 102 acres in the East Texas hill country for retirement, too good of a deal to turn down. Hated to sell my beach house with private beach south of Port Isabel on S. Padre Island, Spring Breakers were blocked out.

Hate living in big cities…no longer in Dallas, was moved to Houston…too big and too spread out, wife drives 45 miles to work, 90 round trip.

To Wesley,just a bit outside Houston,ha
    I still do not know why New Yawkers call it
“House”ton in stead of Houston,,fuggeddahbouddit!
The only way a schlub like me,working for the hourly wage,could get to a “Beach House” is to get an Invite,,ha! So,you & the little lady go 45 mi.in 1 direction?? As our “Hero” bus operator,,
Ralph Kramden,used to say,“A meer bag of shells”.
In NY, to buy a good home in a “Good” neighborhood
that won’t change in a few years,,maybe one that can be used as a retirement home also,,one has to move farther & farther away from “The City”. I have friends who have bought homes in the Poconos,
near E.Stroudsberg. They drive a few mi. to I-80,
then left lane all the way to I-95,at 75 mph & all
of them are going the same speed,so no tickets.
These guys pulled out busses at 4 AM -noon,no rush
hour each way. I asked how long it takes & they said 1 & 1/2 hrs in & 2 hrs out(day traffic)WOW!!
Can you imagine being on the road to work at 2AM?

(laughing), that was back when working in the arm pits of the world, earned extra danger pay. When I was moved to Corpus Christi, that was as cheap a home as in the city and I had more than two hour drive into the office. (preferred solitude) My days in the field I would run through a truck every year.

Quite a large sum of money went into that Beach House, one never recovers what they pay or the improvements made. While we were never rich, we were not worried about funds for the first time in my life, and paid the price for getting to that point. I suppose I could have put a sum of money into off shore banks, but that is not who I am…therefore the Government was making more off of me than I was… Since my medical retirement, even with pretty good insurance, many of the co-pays for extremely expensive procedures were large. Many tests performed were not in my insurance plan, cost was dear. We grew up dirt poor, began working before child labor laws, along with luck, driven, ambitious and doing the crap work paid off.

Now we are just plain ole middle class, if we ever do build the retirement house in the hill country, the housing economy will need to change for the better. With Obama in the White House, it may now be a pipe dream. He is so hell bent on this unpopular health care bill, and the following Can and Trade, to the point of giving up Democrat seats and possibly the majority tells me we could all be in the poor house again.

What good is money if it is no longer worth anything? I have worked too hard for too long to see our retirement funds being cut in half while like most people we are living from paycheck to paycheck. I wasn’t smart enough back then when gold was at $350 to buy it, now it is over $1,100.00…too late for that. Technically I was there long enough for full retirement, but the company says 70 years old for full retirement (a policy change). Medical retirement is much less, and getting lesser with the economy dropping like a lead balloon.

If it were still possible to continue working 110-120 hours per week, or spending months and years overseas, I would do it again.

I strongly admire you for what you do, your attitude, work ethic, respect for others. Although I really do not know you personally, I believe you to be a good decent man. Those are traits quickly disappearing in our country, and practically non existent in Government.
