Open Blog Friday

Here are some stories to chew on today. I’ll respond when I can — during breaks during my 3-hour show today.
– President Bush’s speech in Israel. Was he referring to Barack Obama’s foreign policy?
– Tennessee Republican Party campaign ad against Michelle Obama: family members fair game?
– How about those t-shirts that 44 seniors from Livonia Michigan wore that say, “Puschin’ it to the Limit. Class of .08″ Should they have been suspended, banned from their prom?

Bush was referring to liberal foreign policy in general.
Obama is only one of many that wants to take the Carter approach.
Why should Obama’s wife be given a pass if she is acting as his surrogate and campaigning for him. If she limited her support to appearing with him at speeches or functions and stood in the background then it would be unprofessional to quote her. However when she regularly appears in public, gives speeches regarding policy or seeks votes or donations then every word she utters should be fair game. Hillary’s every word and comment was parsed, dissected and twisted at times Michelle Obama should be held to the same standard. The Democrats and the Mainstream media have never given the Bush Whitehouse a pass on their families comments neither should the Obama’s or Clinton’s be given one.
Worked many years on the flight deck and that guy did not mean to be flown across the deck like that. He probably was injured badly due to the sandpaper-like surface. The surface is very abrasive. He was just in the wrong place and that was not done on purpose.
If you are running for office, you are responsible for what your family members say while representing you on the campain trail. Clearly they have insight on what you really believe and how you feel!!
Here is the “play” on words for the High School T-Shirt debate.
“Like the phrase across the front of their T-shirts said, 44 Livonia high school seniors were “Puschin’ It To The Limit” on Thursday when they decided to wear coordinated shirts as part of a senior tradition.

But it wasn’t just the front of the shirts’ play on the word “Busch” that got them in trouble — it was the back, too, which read, “Class of .08 Seniors,” a reference to the blood-alcohol limit in Michigan.”
I realized that Puschin’ was spelled backwards, I just didn’t get the play on words until I looked it up.
You all are great. Keep up the good work.

Morning Aliyson..
Off point but hearing the news about Florida sinking,,? I have heard and read Much of Florida and mostly in the Southern and Coastal portions are 5 feet or more below sea level already.. So what do they expect? It would seem natural if the sea takes some of it’s acreage unless they build all the leveys higher. And that’s a bunch of leveys!! I think they went against nature there and simply have to pay the price. If it’s too good to be true its probably is.

Good Morning and Happy Friday!
Presidental children and other family members are off limits - UNTIL they put themselves in the game, which Michelle and Chelsea have all done.
The student that wanted to wear his blues - I have to side with the school. What if a student had gotten married and wanted to wear their wedding dress - He got to wear his blues at the military graduation - now this is the high school graduation.
Jimmy Carter just got back from talking with Hamas. Nancy Pelosi has been to Damascus. Most of the left coasters prefer “appeasement” to standing up to a bully.
The fact that Obama took it personal just shows what kind of a shallow, vain, narcissistic, self-important, person he is.
As my father has said, “When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one you hit yelps.” I’d say that Bush threw a rock and nailed Obama between the eyes. However, he may have been aiming for Carter.
Oh yeah, forgot to add…
Hi from Camp Victory, Iraq!
Obviously there is a lack of border security. Why couldn’t Brian have adopted from this country? Certainly there are many homeless monkeys in need of food and love right in our own back yard. I nearly choked on a banana when I heard the story!!!
Bewildered loyal follower,
Nancy Kaye
Bush Speech: Honestly, my first thought was that of Carter, because everyone told him not to go and he did anyway. But, I think Bush was dead right and I don’t know why Obama’s people went off the deep end over those words. Must be a guilt complex for being such a woos about national defense.
Michelle Obama: Yeah she is fair game because she puts herself in the middle of the campaign and she always comes across as a bitter anti-American clinging to her “Bible” and her stun guns.
T-Shirts: Who gives a chit? When I was a kid we were all the time getting kicked out of school because our hair might touch our ears or our paisley bell bottoms might distract the class. Hmmmm…… sounds like I am describing Bozo the Clown!
Hi Alisyn Sweetie!
Looking radiant in red this morning!
Any word if Hillary’s campaign is seeking the endorsement of the Mt Everest guy?
The comparison seems comparable. Seeking to reach the ultimate heights, has some trouble, then declared dead by the experts, but miraculiously comes back to life.
And of course Hillary shares her name with the first man to concur Mt Everest.
Wasn’t the guy’s name “Lincoln”, the name of a US President? and Hillary is trying to be President.
Both the Mt Everest guy and Hillary have been on Fox & friends.
I call first post!
Ok first things first, I don’t really think that Pres Bush was singling out Obama, I think that he was honestly just saying that you can not deal with people like Iran and Hezbollah. I do think in the past history shows that it just doesn’t work, of course I honestly think his dream of middle east children living in peace is unrealistic. Other than Israel-they have no desire for peace in my opinion. I think that Obama and Jimmy Carter and anyone else who thinks a sit down would work just is way out there-even if you could talk to them and get them to sign a treaty-as soon as you board the plane home its all over.
Secondly, I saw nothing wrong with the campaign ad in Tn-if you are however old she is 44 or whatever and you have never been proud of your country something is wrong and it should be pointed out. I remember not even knowing what Patriotism as such was when I was in 2nd grade but every time we stood for the Pledge of Allegiance and sang My Country Tis of Thee-I was proud to be American and salute my flag and my country. I don’t remember ever not feeling proud of my country-may not always agree with everything that goes on in it-but I think its still the greatest place in the world-and hey just as we have open door policy -the door swings both ways-if you aren’t happy you can leave.
Last but not least, the kids with the t-shirts-this one is tough for me to comment on-I hate to see anybody work their butt off 12 years and then not be able to graduate-but I think especially for underage kids to wear anything that advocates drinking is wrong-but hey at least they don’t want their classmates to go over the limit-guess you gotta give them kudos for that!
Alisyn, you look beautiful today!
Brians right - the Judge was just making a point! What’s it going to take to get to this kids - if that was his picture he is just barely underage - What if the next time he hits a car with one of your children in it.
I understand why the judge said that to the young offender, but her words were a little harsh. AND, how awful would she feel if the boy did kill himself. Brian, Steve and Ally are all correct, it’s a tough situation when someone continually throws his/her life away. It’s tough for those who are watching on the sidelines. My hope is the boy gets the message and straightens out his life, not kill himself.
Hi Alisyn,
President Bush’s speech touched many of us here in Israel.
The speech was broadcast live and then later in the evening two more times. I watched all three broadcasts, believing that this was a speech of momentous historical and political import. As a history teacher and as someone keenly aware of international politics, I, myself, and everyone I have spoken to about the speech believe that the president was cautioning the Europeans and the United Nations when he referred to failed policies of appeasement not only history but which has also been part and parcel of the policy and practice of both these players in the past few years.
One has to understand something about the psyche of many people here in Israel, where the specter of the Holocaust is never so far in the distance and where people’s awareness of the great historical appeasement by Chamberlain at Munich looms large as a lesson to be avoided in any future diplomatic undertakings.
That Barack Obama took President Bush’s remark as a personal and political swipe shows a real sense of political immaturity. Had Obama wished to show any maturity - and grit - he would have made a public declaration that he agreed with President Bush and that no one should make any mistake that he too believed that the United States and its allies needed to avoid any semblance of appeasement to sworn enemies, their clients, and their proxies.
Unfortunately, Obama and his knee-jerk cheering section - Pelosi, Biden, and Hillary Clinton - also dropped the ball.

Alisyn,
Not an Obama supporter: if family members enter the arena and make public statements they are indeed fair game. i.e. William Jefferson Clinton?
Alyson,
I am commenting regarding that judge that told the teenager he should “just kill himself”.
The sarcasm I believe the judge was using doesn’t come across when you see only the transcript of what she said. I think Brian is correct in that the judge was using sarcasm/reverse phycology etc. trying to get the kid to realize he if stays on the same road he is on, that he will kill himself. It was shocking on purpose to get the boys attention.
thanks for showing us your cleavage alisyn.
Just heard the segment who chastised the teenager for possession of alcohol underage. Don’t know his prior history, so her comments for mere possession seemed overly harsh. My first thoughts after I heard it were about the young girl who killed herself after the cruel remarks sent to her on the social network. What is happening to our society that some think cruelty is “cute”?????
I enjoy your show. Keep up the good work.
PS on my previous comment - Sorry I spelled your name wrong Alisyn. I need to spell check!

Tell Steve Ducey that Novi is pronounced with a I (eye) not Noveee!! For the judge story that told the kid to go slit his wrists.
Actually (I can’t believe I’m saying this) I agree with Brian here. The judge was simply making an over-the-top comparison to the kid. We’ve all done this sort of thing: “Go ahead and ——–. You might as well because that’s what you’re doing when you ——-.” If someone is eating a lot of fried food we often say, “You may as well go ahead and hook up an IV and just put the Crisco right into your veins.” It’s a form of speech to exaggerate an example in order to make a point. NO ONE can seriously believe this judge was actually encouraging the kid to commit suicide. She shows this when she says, “That’s what you’re doing…” She merely amplified the worst case scenario as the probable outcome of the kid’s developing pattern of behaviour.
I agree with Brian. As the parent of teenage drivers, I pray daily for their safety. I don’t want judges to wait until one of these underage drinkers decides to get into the car and drive, possibly killing one of my kids or someone elses. It’s too late then to take any action that can bring the victims back.
Alisyn always looks beautiful! Her smiling face lights up a dark room and reminds me I need to get off my a$$ and get ready for another day of work. But it is FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
I have no problem with what the judge said to the underage drinker. I spent my life in law enforcement. I have pulled the bloody bodies of women and children out of cars that were killed by drunk drivers. You drink, you drive, you risk the lives of other people. Take a lifeless body of dead child from the car as you watch a drunk driver being handcuffed who does not have a scratch on him and you quickly understand why the Judge gave this fifteen year old a healthy dose of reality. It is not a place for political correctness or sympathy. He will eventually kill himself or another if he keeps drinking.
Good Morning Alisyn,
Red is definitely your color!!!
On the Judge’s comment….
At the end of O’Reilly’s show he tells people to not be a blutter. Somehow I think he is trying to give advice to Brian just before he starts the show. Unfortunately, Brian doesn’t listen.
It is obvious (To anyone that isn’t stuck on stupid!) that the comment by the Judge telling the guy to commit suicide was the wrong way to express her feelings of frustration over underage drinking. It was insensitive to families of people that have committed suicide.
I belive Family Member’s are not fair game personally (such as Chenys daughter being Gay, However, their political and viewpointscomments are fair game because they represent the canidates, that is their mission

Good Morning again to all, and Alysin,
I scan and smile and will say nothing, as it has all been said by this always, smart group of fellow bloggers. We are thrilled to have three hours of Alysin, and hope that Gretchen has a great time with her baby child and the big event of yet another year successfully completed. Hopefully the comments will post in a timely fashion today so there can be discourse between all.
Please before it gets out of hand, ask Brian to apologize about the Madonna comment because it sounded like he was equating his adoption of a monkey to her adoption of little David. I am sure you know how this will BLOW UP against Brian.
Good Morning All - I have to agree with Brian on the Judge…40 years ago, that would have been the expected response from a Judge fed up with a teen that had never heard NO from his parents… When did this country go from “the land of opportunity” to the land of entitlement? I think those words may stay with the kid and may at some point give him cause to stop and think. The Judge is afraid this kid is going to kill some innocent person and soon.
Love your show and so happy to have your blog Alli!! Congrats on the monkey Brian and best to the Dooce
Was the judges name Judge Kavorkian. I think he was out of control.
Has anyone heard some of the cruel comments coming from Michelle. Yes - it is very important to understand what and how the family works as well as the candidates. I was very impressed with Obama in the beginning but the more I learn and hear from his wife has made me realized that (1) she is going to run this show and (2) she is very racial. Wake up America! It is not what they are programmed to say - watch and listen to the normal day to day way of life. If you do this is a very scary situation.
It really shows that we as Americans do not do our homework and make decisions based on research and facts.
The Judge was obviously trying to tell this 3 time loser that he is slowly killing himself and torturing his family by his actions. She was making the point that if he is intent on staying this course, it would be quicker and less painful for all involved if he just took the quickest means to that end. The Judge was making the point that what the young man is doing is self destructive and destructive to all of those that love and care for him. Her words were meant to shock him into that realization!
The Dems say Bush’s speech in Israel was “Offensive”, but they never said it was wrong.
I’m amazed still at the people who really still take these clowns seriously.
But then, are we not cloning a “nice guy” society?
Fair game? Hey, if one opens their mouth in support for their husband or “mommy” they are fair game. That kind of sounds like the kind of war rules the Dems would like to have, come after me but don’t harm those working for me…………. kind of like the some other groups who want to do the US harm………………
Have a great day.
I agree with Brian. As the parent of teenage drivers, I pray for their safety everyday. I don’t want judges to wait, until these underage drinkers decide to get into the car and drive, possibly killing my kid or someone elses, before they take action.
was his name Judge Kavorkian? The judge was out of control. I love it when you are on Alyson.
I agree with Brian, about the judge who chastised the young man who was there before the judge 3 times. He obviously doesn’t care that he is hurting those who love him and the next time he just might kill someone. The judge was trying to shame him into taking action to straighten up before that happens.
Whatever happened to personal responsibility? It use to be that society would hold people accountable, now there are only excuses.
So Steve and Allyson, while I still love ya; leave Brian alone and realize that this young man could have KILLED someone and despite how harsh it may have sounded. If this was done MORE often, maybe more young ones would actually THINK about what could happen before they actually do something stupid ….again!
I’m sure the judge did NOT want the man to actually kill himself; but was rather trying to shock and shame him.
Hurray for Brian on the Judges comment. The judge was completely witin her rights. If the parent s have no control someone needs to give this young man a reality check. Good job Brian
Re: Michigan judge giving “constructive” comments to a Loser. Doosey you’re a doozy. you’re getting too soft in your old age. Why don’t you put yourself in the judge’s shoes for once instead of waving your ACLU card in the air everytime someone is offended.
This country needs to get some kahunas and start enforcing discipline that dearest mommies and daddies aren’t, that our out of whack school systems won’t, and any religious entity can’t. Somehow someway the greatest country in the world became too darn ‘touchy feely’ and concerned about children’s feelings when spanked instead of instilling in them concrete knowledge of what’s right and wrong behavior. If we have to help “modify” their behavior, the sooner the better.
If the judicial system needs to start parenting then so be it. i’m tired of my VERY hard earned tax paying dollars going to treatment to help losers get back on the street and out of jail and back in their destructive habits, that leave a broken trail of pain and agony from the family house to the courthouse.
Re: The Judge Comments.
Anyone that has worked in the justice system has seen families, friends as well as prosecutors and judges give children a multitude of “2nd” chances. It is about time someone said the truth. If he has that little regard for his own safety, he obviously cares even less about the innocent victim he WILL hurt and possibly kill some day. No one wants a child to learn accountability or consequences - espcially parents. SHE SPOKE THE TRUTH! We need more judges like her.
The judge has it right!!! It sounds like not one but 3 plea deals. I’ll bet he was behind the wheel all three times. My question is why isn’t the parent’s being held responseable?
Please tell the “whole” story!! I personally oppose the T shirts that those seniors wore to school; however, the principal is a tad hypocritical. He allows students to wear Corona and other “adult” beverage logo wear to school on a daily basis. He refused to comment on the local TV station.
On the Novi (pronounced - No vie not No vee) judge. You also have to report about the number of MIP’s that have been brought against that “man” and others in the area. I have knowlege (as do others from the area) of a number of large parties and fights that included underage drinking and attacks on other students. Yes, the police are involved and there may be lawsuits involved also.
Too many people have buried loved ones thanks to drunk drivers, many of which were underage drunk drivers.
Please to not post my name or address. Thanks.
The President is talking to the world about terror actions and how to deal with them. He did not name anyone but if you feel he was talking to you then you must have said that in the past and took it personnel.
Have you ever said “If you keep this up you will kill yourself!” to someone? Same thing. The judge is telling the culprit to just kill himself, if he is resolved to continue drinking, because sooner or later he will kill a innocent child or maybe a family. Better he should just kill himself. Save the pain for some family and save the expense of trying him and keeping him in jail. Sounds like a logical comment for a hardened drink and driver.
First I want to say that all family members are fair game if they are stumping for their spouses, so Michelle get used to it. Second, as a Palestinian Christian I hate being referred to constantly as a militant. I am a citizen of the US and have been here since 1960 and unfortunately I have to agree with Osama when he states that Israel is the cause of unending problems in the M.E. They have ignored the road map, made it impossible to live in Palestine due to check points, encroaching settlements, curfews, and their own form of terrorism. I do not like any form of terrorism but the Israelis are not innocent yet they pay no price for their actions nor are they held accountable for the monies the US sends them. It is not their land; God is not a real estate agent or did I miss something? One more thing; if you are upset with Hamas, you find who abetted their creation. It’s an Arabic acronym which I’m sure most people did not know. Hamas= Haraket al Muqawama al-Islamia and it means courage and bravery. I don’t like them nor any group that engages in terrorism and that includes the Israelis. For your readers: I still have friends and some family in the M.E. and the word on the street is that they( meaning the extremists) want nothing more than a democrat in the White House. Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
Salaam Aleikum

The judge is (dead) wrong with her comments. Can you imagine the uproar if the boy takes her advise. Judges are voted or appointed for their ability to pass judgement wisely. She can think what she wants, but should use judgement before engaging her mouth.
Bush On Obamaaaaaaa?
I hope so.
TN Add against Michelle Obama, if they participate actively, YES! If they are just eye candy, NO!
Suspended and Banned for “Puschin’ it to the limit. Class of .08″ If that’s all there was? Come on school administration get a life!!!!!
Gary
Alysin,
Another swat at the parent, punishing the kid as the remedy. Oh, we sit and ponder the pure and unadulterated stupidity that happens. My mouth is open AGAIN..well, it hardly ever closed these days as I am chatting or aghast!!!
The michigan judge was totally out of line. This was a minor in possesion yes a third offense however to merely suggest the kid save people the pain and suffering and kill himself is wrong… what if this kid were suffering from depression issues and thus went home and actually followed through with the judges suggestions??? as a parent i would hold the judge accountable for instilling the thought in the kids head… my daughter had recieved an MIP for consuming a beer she blew a .04 i found that the family had more influence upon her to not do that again than the legal system… we were shocked that there was no probation nor community service ordered we paid the fine and it was over for her… i feel that the kids need to spend their time giving hours of community service in lieu of the stiff fines — she is in school, she doesnt work… the courts punished me the parent rather than the child…. maybe children will think twice if they have to pay the price in a way that gives back to the community. in florida during spring break they have to clean the beaches of debris…. maybe they should pick up trash on the roadways with a bright orange vest on in the community of their peers!!
About the Judge that was speaking to the young boy for the third time about drinking or having alcohol. I think she should be commended. Imagine how many people might have been saved had a different judge said those same words to some other people before they did kill someone!
I guess the question should be, “How many people need to die before we start to hurt some feelings”? The last time I checked, feelings heal over time, death is forever.
A question……SO what if Bush was really throwing it at Obama, Carter, Clinton, or anyof the left coast? Big deal, can’t they take their own medicine? Who cares if Bush would have said their names?
Why do people think they have to make excuses for something that’s true?
Just curious……………….
President Bush was merely restating his policy that I and many Americans agree with. He was addressing an issue of concern, especially after Jimmy Carter doing what he done, which was against us, as far as I’m concerned. Obama’s reaction was totally over the top, by his “taking on the victim role”, which I’m, quite frankly, sick of.
And YES, if the family members are actively engaged in campaigning and talking for a candidate as Michelle Obama is doing, then they need to account for the things they are saying to people. It’s called accountablility. She is not being attacked on person issues, like the wives of other candidates, but for the dumb and hateful things she says on the campaign trail. Hillary Clinton’s family has been held under the microscope by the Obama Camp several times already. And this type of ad comes closer to an expression of “Free Speech” than what many try to promote. (ie Daily KOS and Huffington Post commenters wishing painful death on Nancy Reagan and Tony Snow!).
I’m not a advocate of under aged drinking, but getting upset over silly T-Shirts… well, there are more important things to do, but on the flip side, I don’t blame the schools for banning them in school and as a parent, I would SAY NO! Kids put themselves at risk all the time and have done so since the dawn of time, so I don’t think the adults in their lives need to encourage it.
re the district justice that made the suicide comment. yeah we all may think that sometimes about people who are just toxic, but should never say anything like what she said. should we all kill ourselves for making mistakes? her comment belittles mental illness and the young guys family and friends, and may encourage him to try something such as hanging,shooting himself, which is no laughing matter. guess the judge doesn’t care about who has to find him dead.
I just saw the show and was compelled to write about the judge who was dealing with a case involving a child with a drinking problem. Tough love is required, Being an alcoholic, enablers are the wrost friends you can have. She called it the way it is. When you call an alcohoics bluff, they never do what you say…ie.kinng themselves. It’s a cry for help.
Nancy
With the rising price at the pump, has anyone researched if prices in other countries have also risen proportionately?
Alisyn,
The people in Kentucky and Oregon need to look at how the people in Ohio, Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia voted, they voted this way because they know more about Obama now, then the people in other States voted previously, think about it, Obama has no experience, and shows
bad judgement, with his anti American associates,
so what has Obama done? tell me one thing,
now if the Democratics want a chance in november they have to vote for Clinton, at least with Clinton the Democratics have a chance, and dont believe that she out, Obama cant win the nomintion either, as long as Clinton is in the race, Im asking the people in Kentucky and Oregon give Clinton a chance, so please vote with your heart, think about our country,
McCain agianst Clinton,
in november is the best choice for the American people to make.

Good Morning, Alisyn!
The Rose between two thorns.
In any case, my comment is about that absolutely idiotic judge. Idiotic.
There was a strong resemblance in that side by side shot of Brian and the monkey. I highly recommend a DNA test!
Brian is right on target by agreeing with the judge’s comments about the kid whose been in front of her 3 times — Ali - love ya to death girl but your comment stating “he hasn’t even killed anyone” — is crazy. What the judge said was the truth —
Since you’ve already decided that you don’t care, you aren’t going to learn by going to jail once, twice, etc. you are continuing this behavior with no regard to your family, your self, the people on the road (which could be any of us or our children) - you refuse to change….. it would be easier if you just end it….. we’ve done all that we know to do to help you — you have made it clear that you don’t want it.
If the kid is “adult enough” to go to jail, come before a judge 3 times with the same problems, disregard any help or discipline — then he’s adult enough to hear the truth.
Yea Brian on this one (((( gee, I can’t say that very often!))))
You guys are wonderful — Love waking up to you every morning -
C.J. –
Alisyn,
I agree with you and Steve on POA(Possesion of Alcohol), he is just the kid that caught several times with a beer. The kids do this below the legal limit, especially since they can vote and join the army before they can drink.
The mom I fully understand being tossed. Our son is a senior, we have spent our past 13 years doing all of the selling of concessions and so many things. On our twentieth wedding anniversary there was a mandatory supporter meeting. Which my Hubby attended yet many did not, that parent later will want her kid to get every benefit but not do anything to help him!
Alysin,
The lag time isn’t so bad really. Gives one time to scan, so I will try to be patient!
Ohio has put forth a plan to force parents to “volunteer” in the schools or be fined. Well, we know now they are just crazy as the attorney general is stepping down for “sexual” misbehavior? What!!!! I blush and am sooooooooo surprised! And these are the people sending forth laws for our consideration? 
You do not punish the child for unfavorable behavior by anybody that might be attached to them…not the coach, not the principle, not the teacher! Having raised six, I would be having a fit with the system. My husband did the concession stand as I WAS HOLDING THE BABY and/or chasing one of the others around, maybe. Sheesh! What is going on here anyway. Participate, don’t speak to the books or curriculum, but definitely show up to ‘”work” or all h@@@ will break lose on your child’s (children’s) head? I am not comforted by this lack of good sense continuing to happen in our school systems.
I feel the Judge in her rights to say this. It is time that kids get the point on how dangerous that drinking is. Are you forgetting that this is his 3 time before her. Do we have to wait until he kills someone before we do something. As a parent of a 16 year old son I hope that a Judge would have the guts to do what ever it takes to keep him out of trouble. It is time that our judge, teachers and PARENT stop CODDLING our kids and start holding them responsible for their action.
Bush’s speech in Israel was for worldwide dissemination-
the free world is at war with the jihadists,but most folks still don’t get it or don’t want to
believe it-the attitude of if we leave them alone,they’ll leave us alone-forget it-
biting your nails and wringing your hands about the bad-boy terrorists is not gonna make them
go away-you don’t try and reason with a rabid animal-
I find it interesting that some of Hillary’s female supporters are upset over the media coverage of her campaign. Where is the outrage over the way the media has characterized whites that have voted for Hillary in NC, Indiana, WV and other states?
Fox’s own Fred Barnes referred to the Hillary voters as “low class”. Many of the “experts” and pundits have continiously insinuated that whites voting for Hillary are ignorant racists that are voting for Hillary simply because Obama is black.
It would be nice to see some criticism of the media pundits over their insulting comments.
Michelle Obama seems like a female Rev. Wright. She’s been spouting this rhetoric for quite a while and on many occasions. I find it hard to believe that her HUSBAND is unaware of her views. He certainly could ask her to curtail those thoughts or to refrain from speaking on his behalf. Makes you wonder about their dinner conversations…
Michelle Obama made her “pround of my country” comment IN PUBLIC therefore her comments are fair game for comment, criticism and for my part a swift boot out of this great country.
charge all parents $50 at the start of the season.if you don’t show, you loose your money.slap brian and tell him you don’t punish kids for their parents,as his kids would always be in trouble lol.
i WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS FOUND BRIAN? i GUESS HE DOESN’T KNOW JUST HOW STUPID HE SOUNDS. i LOVE YOUR SHOW, BUT WHEN BRIANS STARTS HIS OUTRAGEOUS COMMENTS, I GO DO SOMETHING ELSE. hES JUST SHORT OF SOUNDING LIKE AN IDIOT.
That story about the Mom not working @ the concession booth for her son’s game….Come on, ever think that maybe his Mom had to work @ a job and couldn’t make the game at all? Cut them some slack… some people have to work long and odd hours. Not everone works 9-5 and has evenings off. Did anyone get the Mom’s side of the story???
I think Bush was aiming at Obama and Carter…with a direct hit! As I former history prof. I know appeasement has never worked.
Mostly I am glad Bush and McCain made speeches…it’s time to get the Rep. some publicity! Enought of the Hil/Obama spectical.
Michelle Obama made her comments regarding “pride in my country” in public therefore she is fair game for comment, criticism and in my opinion a swift boot out of this country. Ain’t America Great !I can publish my opinion about people like Michelle Obama that try to tear us down!
I hope President Bush was calling Obama out. That man is a clear and present danger to our way of life. What is interesting is that when I confront the local Liberals with facts about how flawed their messiah is, they can’t respond with anything of substance but resort to the “race card” which is comical because I am darker than Obama is, LOL.
I have given up on any further discussion with his sycophants because I feel like I am picking on the disabled (mentally challenged).
Michelle Obama is a reflection of her husband’ beliefs, pure and simple. They can spin it any way they want. It is what it is.
Let’s pray the “hopenosis” wears off soon or these Socialists will have at least four years to ruin what is left of our country.
Oh Yea, Happy Friday!

Perhaps Pres. Bush’s comments yesterday were meant as advice to the Democratic party regarding the threats Cynthia Ruccia and her ‘Clinton Supporters Count Too’ made conserning their boycott.
I don’t usually agree with alot that President Bush has to say, but the comment about Obama, I would believe he would embrace the Nazi Party. We need to remember how Hitler came into power… promising change and curing all the woos of the people. Also Obama stated that the members of his church are mixed (black and white) and the whites were not offended by Rev. Wright’s comments and foul language during the sermons. I want to meet those folks. What is an average white woman like??? I had a Pastor years ago, he protested the Vietnam War and was quickly removed as Pastor.
Hil ask hubby to run with you, you’ll get my vote!
Thanks!
I have NEVER posted on a blog before, but when I was watching this morning I couldn’t contain myself. I would just like to put in my thoughts about the judge was that was dealing with a minor in possession that told him to “jump off a roof, etc…” She obviously was not telling him t
