Bruce Silver says: "Helen Thomas is a left wing ass. Honest new reporting...Right. I find it quite interesting that so many bad people are so successful. The world would be better off without her."
It's a shame you have so much hate in you for anyone who doesn't believe, or want, exactly what you believe in and want. You have my pity.
But, you can always watch FOX 'News' (aka 'republican infotainment) for your daily indoctrination and hate session to get your 'jollies'.

First, in response to Marty Vandever:
It took the President of your Republican Party 8 years to help land us in this huge economic mess. That you honestly would think that a new President (Republican or Democrat) would be able to fix it in the first 100 days in office is nothing short of sheer stupidity. (I suspect you are just another Republican who likes to bash Democrats...go right ahead...it does not change the fact that (with good reason) the Republican Party lost both of the last two major elections (2006 and 2008). The people are fed up with a party (the Republicans) who have no new ideas.
Again, let me point out: no one can fix this mess in 100 days.
Second, let us move on to Mr. McMillan:
Obviously we have here another sore Republican loser.
First this Administration is a hell of a lot more transparent then Mr. Bush who, for starters, was having his first Secretary of State stand up before the United Nations and lie about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq in order to justify taking our country into a drawn out and long war which now President Obama must oversee getting us out of.
Second, if you go to any of the government websites you can find up-to-date info on where the bailout / stimulus money is going to.
Third, the Bush Administration did use torture and then lied about it. Only this last week did it come out that Bush's second Secretary of State (Condoleza Rice) had gone along with the water boarding when earlier she said she had known nothing of it. So, yes, the Bush Administration should be held accountable for what they did.
Fourth, the whole gist to all of your comments again just suggests that you are a sore Republican loser. Time to grow up. The Republicans lost the last two elections and for good reasons. (1) No new ideas for the country; (2) More interested in helping a select group of elite Americans than the country as a whole and (3) just fundamentally not very bright.
Now to Mr. Silver's comment:
The best that can be offered here is this: No, sir, it is you who are the ass!
(As for the first commenter, I have no idea what Tyra Banks has to do with Helen Thomas. And that may be one point here that Democrats and Republicans might agree upon.)

Helen Thomas is a left wing ass. Honest new reporting...Right. I find it quite interesting that so many bad people are so successful. The world would be better off without her.

Nobody in their right mind listens to that old windbag.
She is just one leftist praising another.
Yet, why is she asking obama where the transparency is?
Where did the bailout money go? Why does his administration
hide that info? Why is ok to kill Somali pirates who have
never injured a hostage yet the obamanites are wanting to
put the Bush administration on trial for torture against known
killers and terrorist!

I feel as if I have been miss led by thr current adminisration to get my vote i"m a republican and voted out of my party because of his promises to help the people keep their homes because of unscruples lending instatutions that suckered us into these fraudulent loans in order to sell home to people like myself who had not so good credit due to personal resons of some sort.
this so called home modification programs that he has finance companys doing basicaly you have to clalify or be totaly upside down or way behind in your payments i was told let my home get tree months behind then come and see them with no promise that they could help sve my home.
I did what they ask me to do and the finance company just foreclosed because i was to far behind and would not work with the modification company now im homeless i have 2 children and the only roof i have over their head is a borrowed camp trailer that is made to sleep 2 plus i had to park it on some friends property that dont even have any utilitys we have to go to restroom out side in a make shift out house.
so we go to the library to keep out of the heat during the day thats how i was able to use the computer which i had one in my home that we just had to sell it because we just dont have the room or electricity to even use it so where is all the help he promised us all thays happened cents i voted for him is negitive for my family and he lives up there in that fancy white house eating gorma food showering every day and his kids have a nice comfordable bed to sleep in every night then i see our president bowing to some third world self appointed king or thug if you ask me
thanks a lot
