We haven't heard the whole story or even the tip of the iceberg. Personally, I cannot abide Bill O'Reilly. John Murtha is a 37 year military veteran and has always been a hawk. I would like to hear more of what he knows. I will withhold judgment until I do hear.

And the jury's still out on that one.

What's pathetic and "UnAmerican" is being judge and jury
THAT is what is truly pathetic.
O was wise ... wait... wait... I'm rolling in the aisle.

Osamabama 'distances' himself from every lame association he ever had with his rat pack of radical nut job friends.
And if he's lucky enough to get elected, he's going to distance himself from his fawning flock as soon as his advisors tell him there's no way in hades to pay for his free po'folk tax cuts he promised without throwing the economy into the tank.
Grand Jury Declines to Indict McKinney...sm
Grand Jury Declines to Indict McKinney
Grand jury declines to indict Cynthia McKinney in connection with Capitol Police confrontation
WASHINGTON, Jun. 17, 2006
By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press Writer
(AP)
(AP) A grand jury declined Friday to indict Rep. Cynthia McKinney in connection with a confrontation in which she admitted hitting a police officer who tried to stop her from entering a House office building.
The grand jury had been considering the case since shortly after the March 29 incident, which has led to much discussion on Capitol Hill about race and the conduct of lawmakers and the officers who protect them.
We respect the decision of the grand jury in this difficult matter, said U.S. Attorney Kenneth Wainstein.
His statement, released late Friday, also included support for the officer involved, Paul McKenna, and the Capitol Police. He said, This is a tremendously difficult job, and it is one that Officer McKenna and his colleagues perform with the utmost professionalism and dignity.
With that, Wainstein closed a case that has simmered with racial and political tension.
I am relieved that this unfortunate incident is behind me, McKinney said in a statement Friday night. I accept today's grand jury finding of 'no probable cause' as right and just and the proper resolution of this case.
The encounter began when McKinney, D-Ga., tried to enter a House office building without walking through a metal detector or wearing the lapel pin that identifies members of Congress.
McKenna did not recognize her as a member of Congress and asked her three times to stop. When she ignored him, he tried to stop her. McKinney then hit him.
McKinney described the encounter as racial profiling, insisting she had been assaulted and had done nothing wrong.
McKinney is black. McKenna is white.
She received little public support for that stance, even within the Congressional Black Caucus.
Wainstein, meanwhile, sought an indictment from a federal grand jury, with assault on a police officer mentioned in the filings as a possible charge. That is a felony that would require an indictment.
The grand jury then subpoenaed several House aides thought to have witnessed the encounter. McKenna, too, testified. The grand jury voted not to indict her. Prosecutors also could have charged McKinney with simple assault without having to seek an indictment.
Members of the black caucus privately urged McKinney to put the matter behind her. The next morning, she appeared on the House floor to apologize.
I am sorry that this misunderstanding happened at all, and I regret its escalation, and I apologize, McKinney, D-Ga., said April 6. There should not have been any physical contact in this incident.
Federal Grand Jury Digging Deep into Bush Crimes
PRESIDENT INDICTEDFEDERAL GRAND JURY DIGGING DEEP INTO BUSH CRIMES
By Greg SzymanskiA federal whistleblower close to the Chicago federal grand jury probe into perjury and obstruction charges against President Bush and others said indictments of top officials were handed down this week. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Illinois, however, refused to confirm or deny the source’s account.
“We are not talking about any aspect of this case, and our office is not commenting on anything regarding the investigation at this time,” said Randall Sanborn from the office of U.S. federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, the attorney conducting the grand jury probe into whether Bush and others in his administration violated federal law in a number of sensitive areas, including leaking the name of a CIA operative to the media.
In December 2003, Fitzgerald was named special counsel to investigate the alleged disclosure of Valerie Plame’s name to several mainstream columnists, but the present grand jury probe has expanded to include widereaching allegations of criminal activity as new information has surfaced.
Although the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago is staying silent, it is well known that Fitzgerald is digging deep into an assortment of serious improprieties among many Bush administration figures, based, in part, on subpoenaed testimony provided by former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
According to whistleblower Tom Heneghen, who recently reported on truthradio.com, Powell testified before the citizen grand jury that Bush had taken the United States to war based on lies, which is a capital crime involving treason under the U.S. Code. “Regarding the Powell testimony, there is no comment,” said Sanborn.
However, sources close to the federal grade jury probe also allegedly told Heneghen a host of administration figures under Bush were indicted, including Vice President Richard Cheney, Chief of Staff Andrew Card, Cheney Chief of Staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, imprisoned New York Times reporter Judith Miller and former Cheney advisor Mary Matalin. Heneghen, unavailable for comment, also allegedly told sources White House advisor Karl Rove was indicted for perjury in a major document shredding operation cover-up.
In recent weeks, there has been much controversy over Fitzgerald’s wide-reaching probe, which is extending far beyond the Bush administration to include what some have called “a wholesale cleansing” of a crimeladen White House and Congress.
Fitzgerald’s investigation is said to be also centered on members of the 9-11 Commission, members on both sides of the aisle in the House and Senate and also select high-powered members of the media.
Needless to say, administration officials are “fighting mad” with Fitzgerald. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts is trying to derail Fitzgerald’s probe by calling him to testify before the Senate regarding his true motives behind the investigation.
Political observers are now wondering whether administration-friendly Republican legislators, some under investigation themselves, are conspiring like President Nixon did in Watergate with Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox in an attempt to shield the Bush administration from prosecution.
In late July, reports about the recent bomb scare in the subway under the congressional offices at the Dirksen Building—coincidently near where Fitzgerald was holding his grand jury hearings—raised questions as to whether government operatives were sending the zealous prosecutor a “warning message” that he was entering dangerous waters with his investigation.
The bomb scare was reported to local police late Monday afternoon, July 18, causing the subway to be evacuated for approximately 45 minutes while bomb sniffing dogs and SWAT team members searched for what was reported to be “a suspicious package” left on one of the subway cars.
Fitzgerald began serving as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois in September 2001. He was initially appointed on an interim basis by former Attorney General Ashcroft before being nominated by Bush.
The Senate confirmed his nomination by unanimous consent in October 2001. In December 2003, he was named special counsel to investigate the Plame case. Based on the testimony of ABC sources in late July, it appears that at least two close associates of Rove testified before the grand jury. One was Susan Ralston, a longtime associate of Rove and considered to be his right hand.
The other was “Izzy” Hernandez, regarded as Rove’s left hand and now a top official in the Commerce Department.(Issue #33, August 15, 2005)
It may have started with sexual escapes. It ended with Perjury to a grand jury.
So for all the Monica smokescreen, there was a crime committed by a jurist, none the less. He (Clinton) lost his law license. But no one even feels it necessary to mention that.
Wait, wait - see message
I see the cloud opening and a light coming through... maybe I'm going to have an epiphany and realized I should have voted for him all along. HA HA HA
Yes..cant wait
Yes, soon. Gonna be very interesting.
wait you said
6 or 8 or 10 times before you didn't care if he was a rock star. I don't understand. Plez elaborate why you don't care and what you think this means and how we can change it so that you DO care. Don't mince words, I want to know.
Oh, wait . . . I just got it
it is being written as Samonella, not Salmonella so it is jab at sam. My, oh my, what sensitive people.
Wait, did you actually just say this: sm
You wrote:
"Well, unlike some, I don't decide what to think depending on what the candidate I support says."
Oh sam, that is priceless. You slay me. You and Sarah Palin are both adorable.
But wait - there's more!
This is absolutely a fact - a fact that has been swept under the rug by the liberal media. Actually, there are a LOT of facts that are swept under the rug, while we focus on the fact that Palin's daughter is pregnant, or that her clothes are too expensive, or her lack of experience (they conveniently avoid the fact that Obama was in congress 143 days, and most of the time didn't even bother to vote). Do the American people know that there is a lawsuit pending regarding the fact that Obama was born in Kenya? (His own family members have stated this fact). I doubt that little fact was leaked out to too many CBS or CNN viewers. Do the American people know the magnitude of the fraudulent votes through the Democratic group Acorn (over 200,000 in Ohio alone!) And one of the heads of ACORN insists this is not a ploy to win the election. Oh really?? If this were a group of Republicans registering the dead and nonexistant to vote all he** would break loose. But it's not - it favors the Democrats, so we'll sweep that under the rug, too...
Can't wait
Guaranteed, they'll turn on Obama. Personally, I can't wait. That is assuming we still have our first amendment rights.
Wait! We don't know if he's going to be
a great leader yet. I'm hoping so, and so does DH, but only time will tell.
BB I can't wait
to hear that explanation either. I can't figure out whether some of these posters are mentally challenged or if they just believe everything they hear and "wish" would be true. Trickle up poverty? LOL Might not do so much harm if some of the poverty trickled up to these bloated CEOs and politicians. Might not hurt them any to go live in a trailer house for awhile and eat pinto beans. ROFL at the very thought. Doncha know they wouldn't like even middle class living let alone poverty.
He can't do everything in one day...wait and see what happens.
:)
Oh just wait
It is going to get much, much worse. Hyperinflation is going to rear its ugly head here soon enough.
Just wait until they
start cap and trade. If you think your utility bills are high now....just wait. No one will be able to afford heat, light, etc. It will double if not more. Kinds of makes me wish I had a wood stove or fire place in my house just in case we can't afford heat during the winter.
We will just have to wait and see
when all the information is unclassified and investigated. I personally feel that Obama has opened up a big can of worms with this. He should have left well alone. I think we need more information, and certainly not from MSNBC, before we will truly know the truth behind this.
You can bash Fox News every time someone posts something and yet you can't handle me attacking your precious little MSNBC. Awww.
Yes, BEST to wait
but once they are grown, they will make their own decision in every facet of life, regardless what they have been taught. You hope and pray it will be the right thing. Yes, it is best to wait. It is the best thing to do. It is the Christian thing to do. Whether they do or not will be up to them. I taught them what was best. What did you teach your son?
We can't wait a few years. Someone needs to......sm
do something to get these parasites out of the White House now.
I can't wait for the debates...sm
And yeah...I agree Hillary lost her thunder when it became evident she was robbing Peter to pay Paul.
wait a minute there
if you are wealthy and repub, drug addiction is an ILLNESS. If you are middle class or poor and perhaps a person of color, it is CRIME. Get your facts straight.
The pit bull can't wait either. He won't need
nm
yes, can hardly wait for some more "uuhhhs"
nm
can't wait for the debates
A constitutional lawyer is pretty . . . good . . . in debates.
LOL!!! I'm sure if you wait long enough
someone will choose Howling with Laughter too!!! HWL! Oh he--, maybe I'll change to HWL! or H/L. Silly ol' bear.
lets just wait and see how it
all plays out. As for McCain being incontinent, I did not know that until you said so. That's a shame.
Can we really afford to wait
until November to vote on this? I don't think so. Something needs to be done now. I'm sure they will have a plan by the end of this weekend and it will be passed.
I totally can NOT wait!
I'm sure the writers at SNL are going to get a LOT of skit-fodder for Tina Fey in this next go-round.
I'm counting down the hours 'til this one! It's gonna be GOOD!!!!!!
Just wait until she gets her beloved
the other Dem congresspeople in office, see what kind of power they have then!
And if you think the schools are bad now, just wait
Obama can't even get his own state straightened out, but he's gonna straighten out the country!
We’ve already seen how Barack manages large programs, under the Annenberg Challenge with Bill Ayers he gave away a total of 150 million to gaggle of community activist groups to improve schools. Some of those groups were radical, but putting that aside a moment you can see that the vague “feel good” instead of results-oriented direction under Obama just created monumental waste with zero results. The other cities given these grants saw improvement, Chicago stands alone with zero improvement.
Oh now, wait a minute
Isn't it the dems that hate rich old white folks. But, of course, you can't hate rich old black folks, right?
What a hypocrit!
just wait, Chele, until they get all our
guns. I think the UN troops will do that, door to door, along with whatever else some guy might see while he is in your home, like your 12 year old daughter or your antique jewelry left by your grandmother. These people over here just don't realize what is coming. So sad, the late, great America.
Guess we will have to wait and see
If/when he is elected and watch for the release of his personal tax returns. The only way to know for sure.
Wait...let me do a little editing....sm
just kidding...lol
Absolutely.....oh no, wait, they won't pay me...I
nn
Wait for the documentary...of course, you won't believe that either...sm
You and others here were well informed and still voted for Obama.
However, massive numbers of voters know/knew next to nothing about Obama.
You can't change those facts, no matter how the media tries to twist it.
Just one more reason why I can't wait until
How do you spell 'R-E-L-I-E-F' ??
Dubya is not only a tard, he's also a TURD. Kudos to the Iraqi reporter.
wait till you see the
newstand next week -- nothing but a sea of Obama faces. Better do a two-week marketing this week.
Wait a minute!!!!
So now it's unpatriotic to bash the president? Seriously?
yeah.....so let's wait until they
blow up part of the US before we believe they have WMDs. Sounds like a great idea to me........sheesh. Some of you people wouldn't believe there are WMD even if it was shot up your bum.
Wait a minute now
I have always been a Republican, but I have to say I am very disappointed by what I see. The news is getting worse and worse everyday because we have 24/7 news! Everyone under the sun has a 1 hour news show where they have to talk about something and the economy is what they focus on. I never see any good news anymore. It seems they are more worried about what Fox is saying and Fox is worried about what so-and-so said on another station. A bunch of little boys trying to see who has the bigger penis (sorry, but true). So it is an all out slamming war. I always thought Republicans/Conservatives were patriotic - oh not so now!! They are the ones throwing the tantrum and being negative about EVERYTHING! They aren't supporting the president or who is in charge. Where is the hope? Where is the proud American attitude? The dems won, it's their turn, stop listening to the "doom" messages and wait to see what happens. GEEZ! Like I said, I am a Repubican, and I will accept this plan for the economy and I will support my president. Just because most of the plans don't improve my life, doesn't mean they don't improve the life of someone else who deserves it and our country. Call me crazy, but I still believe in supporting my country no matter what because, well, I like living here. Talk about what you believe in and disagree with, but quit saying we are going down the drain. That's being a little dramatic!
We can't wait until the end of his term as you put it
People are underwater every day and more following. Trying to pass a budget before it's necessary is just another way of spending money and has nothing to do to help the economy, especially with the thousands of earmarks in it. The congress and senate are still on the so-called honeymoon and O thinks everything will go smooth for the first 100 days.
Well, it's not. It's not better than when Bush was office. The house and senate are still fighting and nothing O says helps. Of course, NP and her threats don't help. Bipartisanship my foot! NP wants to take over and she's doing a very good job of being "acting president."
Yep, the wait-and-see crowd
has not much to say. We waited. We saw. None of this surprises anybody who watched anything other than CBS, NBC and ABC during the campaign.
And remember, Clinton was impeached, but remained in office. Throwing the bum out is a separate step after impeachment.
No wait, don't tell me -- you think if a kid is adopted,
BTW - I know a gay couple (women) who had children, and they're legally both women's children. How did they do it? Donor sperm, one woman donated the egg, and the other woman was inseminated, carried the pregnancy, and gave birth. So there is both a birth-mother AND a biological mother.
I wait years
I never go to the doctor - no insurance - cannot afford it, so I wait years until I'm deathly ill. I don't think Universal Health Care is the answer either- I don't know the answer - but I wish someone would come up with something.
wait one minute
I do not believe homosexuality to be a "disability." don't go twisting my words. that is not what I said and you know it.
Now wait a minute
You cannot lump all republicans in with one moron like that. You're stereotyping.
Some of our government's biggest problems is that the Democrats have become liberals (our last true Dem was Kennedy) and the Republican party seems to have forgotten what it is supposed to stand for. Reagan, IMO, was our last true Republican prez. The president should be a highly respected position and the media should not be asking questions like "do you wear boxers or briefs?" Thanks to that, I have images of Clinton in his underwear and it makes me want to sear out my corneas.
Our country has lost a lot of its values. There's no excuse for what that woman did and it was especially stupid for her to E-mail it ("Oh, lookey at the stupid thing I just did") but please don't lump us all together.
My only biased bones in my body are toward the terrorists who have attacked our country. And even with that, I pray to God to help me, because I don't want to dislike anyone.
what choice do I have but to wait and see what he does?
I cannot go down to the courthouse right now and say "oh, by the way, I am unhappy so let me vote for the next president today," and oh yeah, I want him to start work tomorrow. I wish I had that kind of power, but I do not.
My post clearly said that I am waiting to see how the next 3-1/2 years go before I make up my mind totally on who to vote for next.
Just wait till Halliburton gets the
Dubai Ports contract that they now say they are going to hire Americans to run.
Talk about thumbing his nose to America!
