"Dan Rather an idiot? He cries all the way to the bank. Obama is NOT an empty suit with a good speaking voice as the man from Texas implied..."
Dan Rather was a warning of what was to come after Obama was deified by the media. Total disregard for objective reporting. Only this time the media barons let their minions run with the propaganda.
I could not agree more with David Bronx of New York. Obama is not an empty suit. He is someone who has been inculcated from birth with anti-American views. He was the left most Senator in the Senate, and, in his short time as president he has aken us down a radical path hat will leave us vulnerable.

Dan Rather an idiot? He cries all the way to the bank. Obama is NOT an empty suit with a good speaking voice as the man from Texas implied (I'm sure you meant the previous dumb bunny President from Texas via Connecticut). Bush was the one without a brain, he let Cheney run the country and could barely express himself without a cue card and even then he sounded uneducated.

Just because you cannot speak well in public doesn't mean you're not smarter than a lot of people that can. Bush outsmarted every talky democrat that he came up against. That would be because they are doing what they do best, talking out their a$$es.

i think he knew the facts as to what a liar bush really was but his employer refused toback him up and we t on to crusify him . there is no doubt in the public's eyes that bush enriched halliburton and hut over 30 thousa d american families go the extent of deaths, electrocustions, and loss of limbs with no accountabiity, and this is what Rather was trying to accomplish single handed, but he failed.

Being that Dan Rather has been in senility for the past several years, I would imagine Rather would not have to have been bugged, as he talks to himself most every place he is standing, or sitting.

This is about the silliest story I've read in years. No proof, just some pathetic writer imagining something and the Dan Haters take it as fact. This story is a new low, even by internet standards. Perhaps I could make a living, too, feeding (meat flavored) tofu at these infantile conservatives.
Wait... I've got the mirror that Saddam allegedly used that Dan allegedly read his questions to. It's on ebay for you to bid.

Just because you can't string two coherent sentences together definately means you don't have a brain.....see our last president for proof or better yet, look at your 401K, etc. It's well beyond time for conservative to STFU and let the adults fix the mess you all created. Hide in your bunkers with the radio tuned to Rush and just let the rest of the world pass you by. You had your chance and YOU FAILED MISERABLY. Go away, rid the world of your ignorance. You've done enough damage!!!

RATHER FEELS HE SO IMPORTANT THAT NO ONE WOULD BUG HIS ROOM. HE'S SO FULL OF HIMSELF. MAYBE HE CRIED WHEN HE FOUND OUT HE WAS BUGGED. HE'S GOOD AT CRYING

So brainless is what you'd call our Columbia graduated, Magna Cum Laude Harvard educated President? That guy who was the first African American to head up the very prestigious Harvard Law Review, who at his age has accomplished more than most of us can comprehend. And since we cannot possibly comprehend the burdens and challenges he has so earnestly undertaken for the benefit of We The People, it would be better of us not to "sepak" about him. Savvy? Good.
Just call me an annoyed woman who doesn't tolerate fools kindly, and who is sick to death of the vultures that circle over people who have dedicated their lives to service, waiting for signs of weakness.
If you look at a calendar you will notice that our very chill and intelligent President was inaugurated what, oh like 3 weeks or so ago, into the most wretched job a man or woman could want. Why would you pick such a person apart, when for the good of our nation and the world at this awful time in our history it would seem to me that you'd be better served praying to whatever you call God that he succeeds.

But this is happening in the USA now. Like 1984, we have just become a wiretapped dictatorship where any cell phone can record the conversations in a room by remotely accessing the speaker phone capability. We have cameras everywhere that have never protected us. We gave up our privacy for nothing but to be ruled by a few shadowy bankers and politicians. We deserve neither our freedom nor security now. Disgusting nation of ostriches and lemmings...shame on us.
