Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments Two Fat Men Walk Into a Bar … and Meet Chris Matthews Thanks to all of you. I have to admit I have learned to be much tougher since 2008 when it comes to Obama. This truly does seem to be a great place. It is over. I am sure I will see all of you tomorrow. Rest well. We still have many battles to fight. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 20, 2011 @ 11:02 pm Thanks for the support. Perhaps I was too aggressive in my criticism of ed, but he constantly crosses the line in terms of how he talks about the president. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 20, 2011 @ 10:56 pm Thank you Emerald. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 20, 2011 @ 10:47 pm Chernynkaya, I see that others are aware of what Ed did. So I will just let it go. I did not intend to cause a big ruckus. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 20, 2011 @ 10:47 pm Chernynkaya, thank you for responding. I ave the video of ed doing exactly what I said at my finger tips. I will not try to argue, but I think it is important that the angry person understands that I did not make it up. Again, thanks. dr » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 20, 2011 @ 10:44 pm I cannot even stand to look at Ed. His hatefulness and anger are overwhelming. I just learned recently, through a video, that just before the 2010 elections, he told the 99ers to vote for the republican as a way of punishing the dems for not taking care of the 99ers. Whoa! You gotta admit that is pretty insane. He and rush get that ugly look on their faces and you can tell they are near a breaking point. I have seen Ed kick desks and throw things on his show. I never watch him anymore. I did not know the history of Chris. Tweety has always been completely unpredictable. I stopped watching him about a year ago, because he had too many repugs on. He thinks Mark Halperin is a great guy and a genius. Wow! Frankly, I have given up on MSNBC except for Rev. Al. I at least turn on his show every week day, even if I do not watch it, because I want to keep his numbers up. Thanks for all of this insight. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 20, 2011 @ 2:34 pm Let’s make it viral is right. Share it with many. I think the power of the comment is that the author is not trying to sell Obama as superman, but he presents a macro vision of the historical/structural make up of the man who is our president. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 15, 2011 @ 11:33 am Only Steven Benen could reveal that name. I doubt that he would share information about those who use his site–which is of course the way it should be. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 14, 2011 @ 10:01 pm I read that site everyday. The comment was astute and reflected the idea that Obama as a black man may view history and his place in it in a totally different perspective. The comment has been shared all over the internet, and I have emailed it to dozens of people. It is a powerful image of a man who is more complicated than many of us may understand. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 14, 2011 @ 9:58 pm Choicelady, I completely agree. It is a complicated story, but Marion has an insight that I feel is worth reflecting on. Marion, I too want you to wear it with pride. Your story is not only insightful, but it is a lesson we all need to learn. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 14, 2011 @ 9:53 pm Thank you for this saga. I mean that in the best way. I appreciate the personal nature of the piece because it lends credence to what you have written. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 14, 2011 @ 11:04 am Cherny, I am having a little bit of trouble navigating the site. When I received your first response, I click the highlighted area, but I could not get to your comment without going back to the article to respond, but there was not a way to reply to you. SOS! Help…… » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 13, 2011 @ 1:42 pm This is absolutely one of my all time favorites. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 13, 2011 @ 1:33 pm Ladies and Gents…The Real Rick Perry! That is absolutely stunning. I had no idea, and to think that he wants to be Bush 2 is something I have a difficult time wrapping my head around. Bush wasn’t very smart and was mostly on the wrong side of everything I believe, but I do not think he was as ruthless as Perry. I will share this list. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 13, 2011 @ 2:15 pm Correction: Hillary Was Never a Progressive, but Johnny Reid Was … In my opinion you cannot look at campaign promises as a way of measuring anything. The only thing that really counts is not what they said during the primaries, but what they accomplish as president. I was with Obama after the second debate. What was said on the campaign trails is what they hope to do. It is wholly different thing to compare what a president accomplishes and what a candidate for president campaigned on. I am saddened to see what I think is a growing division among dems. Enough with the past. We have to work to make sure that a republican does not take the presidency. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 13, 2011 @ 12:03 pm There are a number of important issues that the dem house and senate refused to deal with before the 2010 election. 1. Obama asked both to pass the debt ceiling before recessing. They refused. 2. PBO asked Congress to create a bill which would separate the middle income taxes breaks from the Bush wealthy tax breaks. They refused. In both situations the dems were afraid it would hurt their chances of being elected. I have also read studies that indicate that the more a president pushes his own agenda, Congress tends to get their backs up and refuse to go along. Hillary and the health care bill is a perfect example of that issue. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 14, 2011 @ 10:40 am Presidential Primary Challenges Miss the Point Thank you for the welcome. I learned about your site from someone who sometimes posts on ThePeoplesView. I think I am going to invest some time on this site. I think of emoprogs as those who are so emotionally involved that they cannot see the forest for the trees. Dogma. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 12, 2011 @ 5:27 pm escribacat, I am new here. I remember when PBO was elected that November night, he made a point of saying “you may not have voted for me, but I will be your president too”. Do I cringe at the repugs and teabaggers and those emoprogs who push so hard against him, yes, but I knew who he was. Anyone who read his books would have known that. The 2004 speech about there no red and blue states, is what he really wants to accomplish. Dang. I want so many things also, but I do believe that huge, dramatic change creates chaos for people. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 12, 2011 @ 5:14 pm Sabreen, I agree with your agree. This is insane. A hard core progressive would never be elected. These emoprogs seems unable to deal with reality. Actually, I resent these people. It seems they are locked into Alice in Wonderland. They are still looking for their flying ponies and unicorns. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 12, 2011 @ 5:09 pm Choicelady, I understand your anger. That is an outrageous story. Sorry you had to go through that. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 11, 2011 @ 9:09 am That would be my dream. The man is pure evil. Put him in prison for the rest of his life. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 31, 2011 @ 11:05 am Okay. I just got up off of the floor. I was rolling around in hilarity. Unbelievable. But, we all need a good laugh. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 31, 2011 @ 11:02 am Adonai, No doubt that it was a major mistake to start that war. The current government is dirty and the current leader is only looking out for his own best interests and that of his allies. Now they are begging us to stay longer. Sorry, it won’t work. I recently read that over half of the 70 some US Bases have been closed, and the US is not going to leave a great deal of equipment because of the time it would take to bring back. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 30, 2011 @ 1:52 pm If a WikiLeaks staffer said that I guess we can conclude that this could create a huge and deadly problem for some. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 30, 2011 @ 1:40 pm Yup! 1+ » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 30, 2011 @ 1:37 pm Emerald, I completely agree that the dumbing down of America is really beginning to expose the depth of ignorance in this country. This is another reason as to why we have to make sure that PBO is re-elected. Republicans want the populous to be uninformed–that is what keeps the repugs in power. If they are not educated, it hurts us all. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 30, 2011 @ 12:14 pm kesmarn, that is pretty friggin awesome. Short and sweet tells it all. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On August 17, 2011 @ 11:36 am It was a nice surprise. As are you! I like this site a great deal. I think it is one of the best. Not a lot of vitriol. Sometimes the anger wears on me, even if I am participating. I got a little out of sync when I started tweeting. Rather addictive, but it does not allow for a sense of community. lol! Trying to keep your opinion less than 140 characters tends to leave little room for real conversation. » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On September 14, 2011 @ 1:17 pm Kalama, I am relatively new here. I did not realize you have an ongoing » Posted By Dorothy Rissman On September 14, 2011 @ 11:18 amComments Posted By Dorothy Rissman
