The Whole Truth and Nothing BUT the Truth....

You know, I cannot listen to this man and it should not be this way. We are in the worst financial crisis and we have a Treasury Secretary who for one, does not even have a staff who wants to work for him.

Why didn't he answer the question; how we are going to recapture the 95% tax they are putting on the AIG bonuses and where this money will go?

The question should have been answered and the answer should have been that the tax money recaptured from the bonuses will go back to the debt of the American taxpayers! It is obvious that since the question was not answered, then this money will be going to other use instead of bringing down our deficit.

I am again tired of our government hiding what is really going on and what their plans are. Secretary Geithner is a doll with strings....

It is obvious that you can vote for a new President, but you cannot change how the President and Government think and act!

A politician is and always will be a politician, no matter who they are or what they promised.

@amyleetee

@amyleetee:

Maybe it would behoove you to read what I was responding to before you misrepresent my words.

Also, there are many types of socialism. Educate thyself!

@Ms. Anthropia

@Ms. Anthropia: Here are two words for you: GROW UP!

Also, I don't know what street corner you were brought up on, but the vulgarities have no place here.

You should be suspended from utilizing this site.

Start showing some respect. End your poor me attitude and move along.

@Ms. Anthropia

@Ms. Anthropia: When I began reading your post I had thought you posted to the incorrect story page.

I too have empathy for others and you should, as well.

You have taken it upon yourself to reverse the empathy of others, so as to restrict who we should be sorrowful for.

It is unfortunate that you took time to write on this blog.

You have no right to define my message or to tell us why we should not write our feelings. That is what is wrong with this world. When you write that others are being overlooked I ask; why do you feel the need to inform us of this, when we do not even know of whom you speak? We are not a socialist nation yet, so don't act as if we are now, by telling us who we should have sorrow for.

This page was specifically created for Natasha Richardson and I am sorry about whatever happened in Detroit and Cleveland, but something happens everywhere every single day and we have a right to show sympathy to whomever we please.

This is not a competition for attention, this is time to show our respect to someone we respected.

Put an end to your irresponsible comments and utilize this page as it was meant to be used and that is to show respect for the person whose life was lost and the loss to her family.

Even Though I Did Not Know Her Personally....

Even though I did not know her personally, I felt as though I did.

From the day I heard of Natasha's accident, I had been on my computer looking for any update I could find.

I was always hoping that the news updates were not always true, but unfortunately my hopes were dashed when we learned of her passing.

My thoughts are with her entire family and I hope their wishes for privacy are allowed.

There is nothing worse than having to go through the loss of a loved one, especially when that loved one is a loving Wife, a loving Mother, a loving Daughter and a loving Sister.

May the family find peace in knowing that Natasha was and is in our prayers and may they know that they too will always be in our thoughts.

Rest in peace Natasha. Your memory will live forever in us through your movies and it will live forever in your family by the love you shared with them.

What About the Pay Raises??

So now that they can recapture AIG bonuses, when is the Government going to give back their secret pay raises?

Joe Biden gets a pay hike and he just became VP? WHY??

Where is my cost in living raise?
