    One sleazy America - created by the MSM

    Sad that the media gives so much time to Ms Rielle. Where were they when John was talking about the two Americas, New Orleans , poverty and homeless vets.

    These issues are no less important because John turns out to have been preoccupied. In fact they are even more deserving of attention , since he obviously wasn't able to give them his all even when he was talking about them.

    ,

    Of all people Oprah put on a great show yesterday on these issues. For the first time she wasn't blaming people's mindset for their hunger, homelessness and inability to manifest a high protein dinner with enough vegetables.( much less abundance and furntiure to eat it off of.)

    We need to see more REAL stories of human life,not these manufactured morality tales, that want to lure us into the perils of wealth. We need to see the perils of the poverty and the potential that is being wasted all around us.
