I see that NBC is feuding with Glenn Greenwald at Salon.com about a recent article he wrote regarding a presentation given by disgraced retired general and NBC military analyst Barry McCaffrey to NBC honchos beating the drums for war with Iran. Of course, Brian Williams and everyone else at NBC never mention that McCaffrey has financial ties to the military industrial complex that would benefit greatly from another war in the Middle East, and he did it before with the leadup to the war in Iraq. When will they ever learn that people aren't as stupid as they would like to believe? Read Greenwald's post. NBC does nothing to refute it, but condemns it as "ignorant and insulting". Another step closer to the collapse of mainstream media (hopefully).

    Germany learned from the US companies on how to charge higher fees and rob our soldiers. NBC did a great job with is scam but from 2002 to 2009 US Banks were robbing our soldiers by triple billing for using bank cards while ordering online. The horror stories and actions were exposed as Banks said oops sorry. Now that Foreign companies have started doing the same well it's wrong.

    We got to hear Rep. Issa give his support to the topic of high gas prices. Issa explained how it was President Bush who got the drilling started in the US and how Obama is causing the high prices. He did remember gas prices were over 4 dollars in 2008 and corrected his mistake that 2008 Obama was President.

    Montana Federal Chief Judge Cebull publicly express his hate for President Obama with a filthy email disrespecting the President and his Mother. This is another first for the US when it comes to public disrespect to a US President. But to drop so low as to attack Obama's Mom it isn't really a first. I remember JFK's Mom Rose Kennedy use to call him about policy and one reporter questioned him about it. Well let's say the President said his Mother call anytime and ask any question/give her opinion. The reporter was fired after that you can bet no one ever questioned the President about his Mom again. President Clinton's Mom was well respect during Bill's years of office. But it seems the filthy dirty racist are speaking out as they see Law Makers enjoying discussing women's private body parts with even questioning a doctor. It's like an XXX rated public discussion.

    North Carolina Rep. Cleveland announced his State has no citizens in poverty and that's remarkable. Just think 2012 one State in the USA has no poverty and we can believe this because that's what Rep. Cleveland says. Facts reported by the Governor of North Carolina are different as North Carolina has 17.5 per cent citizens in poverty but Rep. Cleveland doesn't represent them only the 82.5 per cent citizens. Lies work but facts speak to truth.

    have a great day all

      President Obama has told us no laws were broken by the major banks.

        Snicker Banks have not broken the law as the Congress passed laws the allow loop holds that allow for what we see today. Most Americans ask a lawyer a legal question and don't guess at the answer. But like a snake salesman can sell tonic to cure everything, it seems people believe Banks are breaking the law. Banks have worked with Law Makers for since Reaganomics. Remember the Keating Five corruption scandal when the Lincoln savings and loan ran by Charles Keating who after many years and investigation sentenced to 12 years in jail. Well that started the marriage of Banks and policies to assure this never happen again. Banks brought law makers and here we see the results.

        Dave before you say Obama did it, the President was a Harvard Law School student but who knows the Keating scandal might be his fault too.

          So your argument is because 4 Democrat Senators and one Progressive Rino Senator used the power of their position to try and kill the investigation of Charles Keating that Obama and Holder can't prosecute any bankers for screwing America? Hey you know who else was around back then? Williams K. Black. He sent something like 800 S&L jerks to prison and he has also testified before congress lately that there are tons of crimes that could be prosecuted today IF anyone would do it.
          For some reason though the people who live and work in New York (the city that screwed America) want us to worry about Santorum taking away our condoms and birth control pills.............yeah OK

            Good Evening Mr.Williams, A fine broadcast this Thursday evening. So tragic to see all the devastation in the aftermath of the terrible storms to hit the Mid-Section of the country. It is staggering to see all the leveled homes and businesses. Ones thoughts and prayers are with all the families affected by the storms and especially for those families who lost loved ones.

            The report by Mr.Holt from Harrisburg told of the widespread destruction and the massive clean-up happening in the area. Hearing the accounts of different people of how they survived the storms was incredible. And it it undestandable they would be asking why they are still there. It was heartwarming to learn the father found his loved ones in another part of the house. But it was also tragic and sad to learn of one 22yr old nurse who was killed in the storm.

            The report by Mr.Cantore showed how the winds simply reduced a mini-mall to rubble in tearing apart buildings. So incredible the force of the storm.

            So very sad the loss of 2 US soldiers in Afghanistan at the hands of Afghan Security Forces. A terrible and tense situation for all the US Troops and Afghan Civilians.

            The "Making A Difference" segment by Mr.Yang about the tremendous support by volunteers and neighbors to help in the storm clean-up was heartwarming. So many people coming from the area and other States to help people who have lost so much because of the storm . As one person stated the response has been tremendous and another couldn't find the words. It is wonderful to see people coming together to help eachother in times of need.

            Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

            Be Well Everyone!

            Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

            Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

            Lisa
