As we have seen, in the United States the president can do what he pleases no matter what stands in his way. Obama will shut down any investigations into war crimes because he would personally rather ignore the law than enforce it. It will take riots and death to bring change to this country. Violence seems to be the only thing congress understands. The Unitary Executive is more concerned with cocktail parties than with justice. Boy did he screw us. Maybe we should return the favor.

fly.

when pigs fly.

I don't trust any member of congress to know, much less do, what is right. They enabled Bush. They enabled torture. They enabled uttler lawlessness by Republicans. Why the HELL should we believe a word they say? We cannot.

He has billions of dollars, lives in a Manhattan penthouse, and does not have to work. How is that failure??? He'll never serve a SECOND in jail and will live out his days in luxury and comfort. That, my friend, is not failure but success if judged by the rules of capitalism. So what if people were stupid enough to trust him? How is that a problem? Bernie should be the poster boy for Wall St. Rip off your friends and live happily ever after. It is a dark lesson but not the one you envision. It is a lesson business school grads will be trying to emulate from now on. It's call SUCCESS!!!!

Let's start with a premise we can all agree on: Republicans lie.

Now let's see who owns all the major media outlets: Republicans.

So if Republicans lie and major media outlets are owned by Republicans, then the major media outlets lie.

But the question remains, why does no one call them on it? Because major media outlets are owned by Republicans.

Break up Clear Channel and News Corp. Break up all the major media outlets. That is the only way to give the truth a fighting chance.

A Republican or a talking dog.

To finally be ruled by a good tyrant instead of a bad tyrant? I'm so thrilled that my rights have been taken away by a Democrat and not a Republican. Now that's REAL change!!

Ah, well, without representation there is nothing we can do about it. If I just had hundreds of thousands of dollars at least I could get a phone call through to 'my' representative.

And you actually think anything has changed? LOL! Obama is still listening to us and still has the power to imprison any or all of us forever. And he's DEFENDING these powers. So just because the dictator changed does not mean we are free. We are NOT FREE. Obama still have total free rein over our government and he's not about to give it up. We are a nation of prisoners. We are a nation of fools.

It looks to me as if the Republican party has become a criminal enterprise. And as long as congress and Obama let off bankers, ex-presidents, ex-vice presidents, and everyone else associated with that criminal enterprise, the crimes will continue. So when Obama sweeps Bush's war crimes under that yellow rug in the Oval office, all he is doing is setting up the next Republican president to finish Bush's reign of terror and truly make this country a police state.

Bygones! Next........

Two words: special prosecutor. Congress should not be allowed to investigate itself. The DOJ should not be allowed to investigate itself. The Executive Branch should not be allowed to investigare itself. Two words: SPECIAL PROSECUTOR. If a special prosecutor is NOT appointed, then we will all know that the fix is in and NO ONE, once again, will be accountable for the abuses of George W. Bush. Oh, and the president will continue to be above the law and unreachable by human courts.

Our main stream media is not made up of journalists. It is made up of Republican operatives working for Republican bosses employed by the same corporations that make BILLIONS off of war. They are shills for the MIC. Nothing more, nothing less. They are also justification for congress to do nothing reflecting as they do, the will of the people. There are two things we must do before anything else we do will produce positive results: campaign finance reform and media divestment and diversifivation. As long as money buys lawmakers and the MSM gives false information to the public, we will be at war with the world for profit.

Because it's not PROFITABLE to treat poor people. And everyone knows that if you can't show doctors how to profit off your sickness, then they will refuse to treat you and look elsewhere. This nation is truly sick and twisted.

that Obama is using and will use his unlimited Unitary Executive powers to further erode the rule of law in this nation. Why should I obey the law when the entire U.S. government refuses to do so? Why should I pay taxes when no one else does? The USA dissappeared the day Reagan was sworn in. It will never be seen again.

I feel like a hostage in my own country. My representatives keep stealing my money and giving it to their friends, my president could kidnap and dissapear me, my local police force could break down my door and drag me away forever. And now to have confirmation that Israel writes and controls our government. Well, it's just all too, too much. The line has been crossed. There is no going back now. We are just another sattilite of Israel.

I totally agree with you, Mrs. Hartong. Keillor's aw-shucks attitude hides a cold and heartless person. By the look of him, he's never missed a meal or gone hungry in his life. He should be ashamed of himself for disparaging the millions who have been disabled through no fault of their own. On second thought, he is disabled. He has no decency.
