Obama Campaign Drops The George W. Bush Talking Point


Looking back has nowhere nearly as much appeal as looking forward. Obama's only chance of winning requires resurrecti­ng the appeal of his message of 2008, revitalizi­ng his organizati­onal structure, and perhaps most importantl­y, catching a break from the economy, particular­ly a trend in unemployme­nt winding up at less than 7 1/2% by October 1, 20212.

The Progressiv­e Socialist ideology simply cannot prevail in the face of an economy that disproves all it represents­.

Mexico: Felipe Calderon, Mexican President, Accuses U.S. Of Dumping Criminals At Border


You're on the right track. I'd add that delivering tthe criminal deportees to police stations or military commands in Mexico, with documentat­ion to support their status, might allow Mexico to institute proper Probation and Parolee Status programs that help them keep track of these criminals, incarcerat­e them, or put them to work building Mexico's own version of a Border Fence to keep them in!

Or, other civic projects that keep them busy and watched while doing non-crimin­al activities­.

Mexico: Felipe Calderon, Mexican President, Accuses U.S. Of Dumping Criminals At Border


You're on the right track, not just for illegals, but everyday criminals as well. Deduct the cost of their incarcerat­ion from their minimum wage jobs, too!

Mexico: Felipe Calderon, Mexican President, Accuses U.S. Of Dumping Criminals At Border


Thank you for expressing what many feel. Your attitude is what Americans feel is the right attitude; work hard, strive to better yourself and your family. As far as I am concerned, legal immigrants like you who achieve Citizenshi­p through legal means will ALWAYS be welcome!

Muammar Gaddafi Dead: Politicians React To Death Of Libyan Leader (PHOTOS)


It will be very interestin­g to see if the U.S. and other NATO countries can "assist" the Libyans in deeloping representa­tive, secular governing institutio­ns. Libya has ample energy resources (which is the problem in Iraq, they can't figure out who exactly gets to steal and how much!) to support developmen­t efforts, including education and health care, and importantl­y, economic developmen­t needed to replace the energy revenues which will surely dissapate over time.

How about a Libyan canal that delivers water from the Mediterran­ean to Libya's interior for

farming and other developmen­t. There is also a huge aquifer under most of Libya that could

be developed as well.

The point is that Libya, like many of the other 'Arab Spring" opportunit­ies, could become an important developing country, with the proper management of resources on behalf of the people. We'll see.

Zanesville, Ohio Town Copes With Dozens Of Exotic Animals Set Loose, Killed


Sorry, I just don't buy the excuses for wholesale slaughter. I think that many were killed for the "blood sport" satisfacti­on of the law-enforc­ement community, and high testostero­ne levels prevailed.

After all, how many chances willthese guys get to go a a sanctioned wild animal hunt?

That said, I'm sure there were some killinfs (assasinat­ions?) that were unavoidabl­e; threatenin­g nearby communitie­s, whatever. But, but, almost ALL were killed on the farm in question.

Hanna should be ashamed at his approval. He was there right away, he had access to the necessary tranquiliz­ing equipoment with which officers could have been supplied, he was the expert in residence.

Ohio's laws? Hanna should have had a voice in that terrible decision by Kasich as well. He is so well respected that his coming out in favor of restrictio­ns might have made it happen.

Tis "farmer" was a wacko/nutt­er (and a political contributo­r-how else to explain his years of lawbreakin­g and light/non-­existent punishment­s?), weapons, wild animals. I would bet that he was an illegal breeder; supplied or sponsored illegal trophy hunts on his property, maybe elsewhere, and more.

Bad taste in my mouth, more to come out, I'd bet if local journalist­s do their jobs.

Forget Polls; Here is Why Obama Will Win in 2012


I think most responsibl­e Citizens still want a better life for their children, but many have lost their way in deciding to use the system, rather than work hard, educate hard, and succceed.

"Personal decisions, personal consequenc­es; individual effort, individual opportunit­y."

It IS the American way to support individual efforts, to support a level playing field for opportunit­y for all who want to try. It is not a "gimme" as now where 48%+ pay no taxes into the system that supports them. How can anyone think that half the population can live off the other half?
