If I may make one suggestion to the crew of the View; during the “How to Find a Job”, they should probably have just one host on stage asking questions of the guest. This is a serious subject and from past shows it always seems the hosts either talk over one another or make jokes. I can only presume the intent of such “Bank on View” shows is to offer some perspicacity on the subject, and the aforementioned behavior I described above is not helpful to people that try to take them seriously.
Winnie, hope all is going well and I can’t wait to hear from you tomorrow.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Hit it on the head, Stacee. One minute in and the guest who was barely introduced and was already on the stage when the ladies came out to “thunderous” applause has been interrupted and asked overlapping questions.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:08 am
“Ahhmm”: Elisabeth’s version of “um”. Shut up!
April 14th, 2009 at 9:08 am
I hope the show acknowledges that in certain industries (such as manufacturing and high tech) US companies were allowed and encouraged to outsource the jobs to foreign companies for years under Bush.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:10 am
“in terms of”: Elisabeth’s shorthand for I’m so smart that I don’t just ask a question with eight words when I can add useless, meaningless words.
WAL-MART is the expert on jobs?????????
April 14th, 2009 at 9:11 am
Elisabeth is TOO dumb to know how dumb she is. She’s trying to sound smart reading someone else’s question off a card.
GREED+BUSH
We are ALL NOT To blame for the Bush Recession. Try Deregulation.
Right Joy - there has always been greed - but now we have Deregulated Greed. How many people can afford to make a mortgage payment after they loose their job? It doesn’t matter if you’re making a $1,000 payment or $3,000 if you don’t have a job. The whole country is in a recession. Finally - the Republicans are willing to admit it, but won’t take the blame. Blame Americans for buying homes is pure BULLCHYT.
Elisabeth – manufacturing and green are not conflicting. You are a spoon-fed fool. Keep listening to Faux Hannnity Beck and Limbaugh – you’re a dying breed.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:11 am
Outsourcing jobs to foreign countries had a terrible impact in certain industries under the Republicans. And to compound the problem, foreigners (such as engineers and software developers) were allowed to come into the US and take jobs from Americans.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Wal-Mart job training lesson #1, stand near door, lesson #2, say “hello”, lesson #3 don’t unionize even when we don’t pay you a living wage. O.K. You’re trained!
April 14th, 2009 at 9:14 am
In terms of a time of war and lower prices points, do you feel safer in a blouse with a bow near your throat?????????
April 14th, 2009 at 9:16 am
Ahhhmmmm, does Elisabeth sound like she’s looking for tips to take home to Tim?
April 14th, 2009 at 9:17 am
#8 berndoubt I’ve read that Walmart is feared by a lot of small businesses, who fail if a Walmart is built in the neighborhood. We just had a big battle over that recently in my neighborhood…trying to keep Walmart out. I think Walmart eventually won because our city was greedy for tax revenue from Walmart.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:18 am
berndoubt Says: “One minute in and the guest who was barely introduced and was already on the stage when the ladies came out to “thunderous” applause has been interrupted and asked overlapping questions.”
MY RESPONSE: (sigh)
I wish I could say I’m surprised….
April 14th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Like the way Elisabeth lectures the audience on how to “get your butt up off the couch” to find a job – the original ass who works 5 hours in 4 days and makes over $200K – with NO experience whatsoever?
Precious. Just precious.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:19 am
What a great tip that Elisabeth just shouted off-mike to the expert in the audience. “Make it Working Wednesday.” “Right, Marcus.” She’s the worst. Please let Joy ask a question.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Stacee and Kelly, just read late posts from yesterday, and I appreciate your kind words about my comments.
About today: I agree that even with a serious topic like job searching, EH tries to sound smart, make it all about herself by talking over everyone else. Too bad that twit can’t be voted off the View the way she was voted off the island.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:22 am
Spacebook? MyFace? lordy
April 14th, 2009 at 9:24 am
No kidding. “Elisabeth - the tribe has spoken- again.” Too bad ABC doesn’t believe in Democracy.
I want the big hook to yank her off the couch.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:26 am
We should be more careful about our criticisms, so the “what WE watch on tv and why we watch it police” might be ready to pounce. I’ve started thinking of this show as my version of WWE. It’s ridiculous and it’s not real, but for some reason there are characters on it that I love to hate.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:26 am
They’re giving some useful job interviewing tips. If Barbara were on the show today, the conversation would probably veer off into a sex survey.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Finally they mentioned job outsourcing as a problem!
April 14th, 2009 at 9:33 am
They should’ve killed the background music when the job counselor was giving her tips and conclusions to the people looking for work. It was distracting and made it harder to hear her.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:33 am
No kidding bern - where is Officer EdnaEgan?
I hate the patronizing way these people feign sympathy. Even the job expert told people to stop blaming other people and get moving. LOL Yeah, let’s not hold the Bushies responsible for raping the country of all its resources and treasure. Let’s blame the tax payers.
Where did they find him anyway - Karl Rove’s closet? I’m just saying…
WHERE is Aileen?
April 14th, 2009 at 9:37 am
It’s semi-useless for any guest of The View to prepare useFUL advice, since they are just going to get interrupted while they try to give it.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:37 am
For those who are interested, tomorrow is the day - Taxpayer’s Tea Parties abound. Enough housing bailouts, enough bank bailouts, enough bailouts for everyone who took risks that didn’t pay off. People who played by the rules and paid their own debts shouldn’t be forced to pay for all these bailouts. I support Rick Santelli’s call for a Taxpayer Tea Party to defend our country’s founding free-market principles.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:38 am
#22 Right on, Kelly. Bushies and greedy CEOS did rape the workers of this country. There’s age discrimination out there too, big-time. The panel needs to address that too: don’t let the prospective employer know your age. And if you’re hired but over 50, always be aware that they will likely target you first.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:40 am
Vickie, put your money where your mouth is and make sure you head out tomorrow and do some teabagging.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:45 am
I am not sure that females do what you are suggesting Berndoubt but I will be part of the movement to assert our rights.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:48 am
Re-employment success also depends on where you live. You can hustle like crazy in some states and cities, without much effect. I can see why they don’t want to emphasize that. People might not want to move, or they have a house and can’t sell it.
The government needs to help by creating jobs and changing the laws where jobs are outsourced overseas.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Start a business selling overpriced dust collectors to your neighbors who just lost their jobs. Great advice.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:52 am
Oh no. Whoopi “stealing” things again from the displays.
April 14th, 2009 at 9:53 am
Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. That was so funny. Whoopi snuck out on stage and took something, thereby interrupting the guest. HIGH-LARIOUS.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Wonder why the Republicans didn’t teabag Bush - when he was stuffing billions in CASH to no-bid contractors in Iraq - in PIZZA BOXES? (google it)
Teabaggers indeed.
I love the way the Republicans had no problem with an illegal war that killed hundreds of thousands and left millions orphans
-had no problem with Bush collapsing our economy in the first damn place
-had no problem with soaring pollution and elevated cases of allergies and asthma
-had no problem with tax shelters for Big Oil, Halliburton or KBR
-had no problem with Blackwater or Domestic Spying or Executive Assassination Rings
-had no problem with Bush Bank Bailout – AIG parties and the year of the monopolies
Google it Vickie- why don’t you teabag BUSH for getting us in this mess? Why are you focusing your Bush anger on Obama?
Why are Republicans so intent on actively engaging in activities that go against their own self-interest and civil rights? Did Faux really brainwash all these people? Or are half of all Americans really that ignorant?
April 14th, 2009 at 10:09 am
Vickie if I thought for a min that most of the people at these events understood what this is supose to be about I would say cool. Instead they scream about burning book and reeducation camps and take you kids of college (its to lib). seiriously heared this from these events. I also hear “i’am not paying taxes ” I ask why? Taxes have not gone up and if and when they do will be to a level seen and dealt with before 3% for 5% of the poeple.I mean really. So what are the portesters so mad about. They dont like where the money is going? Okay start with bush and his handeling of the bailouts and tarps. They cant take a page form history when there problem then was excess taxes to another country, when you are paying taxes to your own ccountry at the same level as before. Dont like where country is going as far as programs and free market fine a ligitement concern but teabagging is not going to help but have fun
xoxo
April 14th, 2009 at 10:15 am
Most people, especially those who are protesting the taxes would do better under President Obama’s tax plan. The worst case is that tax rates go back to those we had under Clinton. Nothing earth-shattering there.
If this was about taxes and people were smart enough to read and comprehend, they wouldn’t be protesting lowering their own taxes. It’s easy to lead people who are afraid. So you whip people up by targetting their fears first and then by scaring them into doing what you want them to do. Sad, really.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:17 am
#24 Vickie–
People who played by the rules and paid their own debts shouldn’t be forced to pay for all these bailouts.
Who should pay the bills Vickie? Right wingers dont think they should have to pay taxes to help the economy, but they are expecting to have the economy help them.
Where were these “teabagers” when Bush waged his illegal war? Then again…. that war wasnt paid for was it…. he didnt even bother putting it in the budget, and just put that whole war on the China backed credit card.
Rick Santelli’s call came when President Obama put out a plan to help Main Street….. where was his voice when Wall Street and the banks were getting paid off because they “took risks that didn’t pay off.” Where was your voice too Vickie?
Isnt it unique how when Bush was messing up America, the right wingers supported him…. but now when President Obama is trying to clean up the mess…. those same right wingers are criticizing the fix.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Kelly, too bad that it is too late to address what Bush (and other presidents) have done to us over the years. Time and the courts will or will not attend to misdeeds of previous administrations. However, those of us (who are both Republicans and other) who do not want to march into another disaster at least have a venue for protest. It is the American way. I don’t think that the solution to the problems that other presidents (Bush among them)have created is to simply ignore what is happening now. Everybody doesn’t have to agree but at least we are still America and we can protest and begin grassroots movements.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:23 am
i told myself that i wouldn’t watch this show. but, i did because the topic piqued my interest.
what a mistake that was.
today’s show was an exercise in hypocrisy.
having the walmart rep to promote employment at a company that regularly engages in anti-worker behaviour. ie: discrimination based on sex and race, anti-union tactics, refusal to pay overtime, using overseas manufacturers that engage in human/worker rights violations, tries to save a buck by not securing their parking lots against crime.
not to mention that most of the jobs are part-time to avoid paying health benefits.
ugh, the list is long with walmart.
i was disgusted by today’s show.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:27 am
#34 berndoubt–
So you whip people up by targetting their fears first and then by scaring them into doing what you want them to do. Sad, really.
Thats the Republican way….. FEAR FEAR FEAR….. The Party of No is all about setting up rules for OTHERS to follow…. then cry bitch and moan when they are expected to follow those same rules.
I would have a little bit more respect if one of these right wing nutcases would actually criticize then offer a solution other than “CUT TAXES” …. That doesnt work… Bush proved it, and look how it turned out.
Maybe they are waiting for the Rush/Sean plan.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:27 am
In my opinion, it is less about the tax structure and more about some aspects of the stimulus package. I can read some of the not so well hidden insulting remarks above but that’s okay. Just your way of protesting, but seriously it does not need to go personal. I think the way I do and you think the way you do, It’s all good. Roger, I pay a serious amount of taxes and I have no problem paying my taxes ( I can even figure them out), but I DO detest what is happening with the national debt and our future. I am at the point where I believe ALL the administrations have serious corruption and it has to be cleaned up. Roger, I contact my reps about a variety of situation, thanks for asking. Can you suggest something more to do?
April 14th, 2009 at 10:30 am
Ignoring the problem while it was developing by allowing deregulation is part of the problem that I don’t want to see repeated. In order to avoid these same problems in the future, we need to figure out what caused the problems in the past. Unbridled greed and deregulation caused the problem. Any solution that doesn’t address the causes is no solution at all.
Grassroots movements are begun at the grassroots, which is with the people. Astroturf movements are begun by people who want to motivate others to do their bidding for them. Tea bag protests are for the benefit of people who get paid way too much money to do very little, including riling people up with empty rhetoric on America’s public airwaves.
The Boston Tea Party was a protest of taxation without representation. By virtue of our congresspeople, we are all represented, so we are taxed with representation. If you don’t like what your taxes are spent on, elect someone else the next time. I haven’t liked what my taxes were spent on, but I remember being told that I could love it or leave it. Funny how that’s all different now and it’s our American right to protest what we don’t like now that the right doesn’t like what they see. What happened to America: Love it or Leave it?
April 14th, 2009 at 10:33 am
#36 Too late to address what Bush did to us? Are you KIDDING? What a cop-out. Also, who is “simply ignoring what is happening now”? I recall as late as last fall Bush was saying there was no problem.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Vickie -when did you ever address Bush?
It’s not too late - far from it
April 14th, 2009 at 10:39 am
what is hilarious is the same blowhards spouting off all this anti-american rhetoric today are the same ones that accused their fellow citizens of being traitors for speaking out.
the republicans are now officially the party of passive/aggressives, lunatic conspiracy theorists, and drama queens who cry at the drop of a hat because “they love their country and are afraid for her”.
give me a break.
i think most rational thinking citizens know what the truth is regarding their “outrages”.
they know it for what it really is and what is at the root of their “fears” for their beloved country.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:39 am
You’re right, Berndoubt. I have TRIED for years to vote out the ones I didn’t like representing me, with little success. It isn’t that simple anymore. Do you truly believe that we have representation according to the way the founding fathers intended? I certainly do not. I don’t know to whom you are referring when you say that the tea bag protest are for the benefit of those who make too much money and fo too little. Well, that isn’t me. I am just a deeply concerned citizen who pays her taxes and does not feel represented by endless corruption and corrupt administrations. Something has to be done.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:41 am
#39 vickie–
Roger, I contact my reps about a variety of situation, thanks for asking. Can you suggest something more to do?
Yes, actually I do… Get behind the fix…..
There was a call for service back in January by President Obama. You never hear anything about it…. but there are thousands upon thousands of people doing just that.
Get behind the stimulus package….. I have been trying to find a way to get involved in solar panel installation. I know it isnt much, but it is a start.
Protest is good vickie….. it was good when Bush’s war was being protested too…… even though the right tried to silence those protesters.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:44 am
Am I being called out because I did not voice my protest about Bush? I just joined this blog at the end of the election cycle. How would anyone know what I did or did not think about Bush. Again, I can’t see the benefit to rehashing Bush now, I am concerned about the present and certainly the future.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:44 am
#44, Vickie, I’m just curious. Were you saying “something has to be done” regarding corruption etc. when Bush was in office?
April 14th, 2009 at 10:45 am
That will be the day when any sane American trusts the Republicans to hold a civil rights rally - TOO IRONIC. That would be funny if it wasn’t so stupid.
It was okay when it was the “other” Americans’ civil rights that were trampled on.
We still have Free Markets
We still have Guns
The majority of Americans’ taxes are unchanged
As mibi stated – our tax dollars are now being spent in the USA. I am not okay with Bank Bailouts – but we have Goldman Sachs returning their TARP funds…listing a profit and keeping their employees. More of this to come?
How many Republicans are now benefiting from Obama’s policies? Larger tax returns, new homebuyer rebate of $7,500, affordable health insurance, investments in local communities? Lord forbid the Republicans would ever admit it.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:49 am
One more opinion…I REALLY think that terms like right/left are incredibly outdated and totally non productive now. Ideaologies and opposing thoughts will always identify the other as the problem. It is just so destructive and obscures the problem.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:55 am
Why do you guys get so angry? Did you expect that President Obama would get a free ride without criticism or question? That’s unrealistic. We need to keep them ALL on their toes. I think, and may be wrong, but some of you seem really angry that Pres. Obama is getting similar treatment that all of the presidents get throughout their presidency. It’s just what happens. Why so angry?
April 14th, 2009 at 10:55 am
Vickie says: “I REALLY think that terms like right/left are incredibly outdated and totally non productive now.”
Of course you do - but did you when it was the CRAZY ASS LIBERALS this and the CRAZY ASS LIBERALS that?
Where were you when Kellyjo called us that? Too far back for you?

#40 berndoubt–
Ignoring the problem while it was developing by allowing deregulation is part of the problem that I don’t want to see repeated. In order to avoid these same problems in the future, we need to figure out what caused the problems in the past
Im sure that you or Kelly will be able to pass along the details that I am too lazy
to look up. this post is all from memory.
Back in the 30s they regulated the banks…… they set up rules that protected banks and the people that put their money in banks. These regulations drew lines to make differences between banks and investment companies. These lines werent crossed, and it worked for over 50 years.
In the 80s when the republicans took over, they got rid of those regulations, they allowed those lines to be crossed…. banks became investment brokers….. investment companies got involved in banking.
This is what caused the Savings and Loan scandal….. remember the Keating 5 trial?
Please correct the mistakes if I made any.
My point to this little story is it is time for Congress to stand up and put these regulations back on the financial institutions again.
Lets get a handle on greed again….. it has been proven that the “market” cant regulate itself
April 14th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Kelly, I am not reading this site everyday. I try to but I miss it from time to time. I’ll step up next time and defend you against Kellyjo if that’s what you would like. I am my sister’s keeper.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:58 am
“Why do you guys get so angry? Did you expect that President Obama would get a free ride without criticism or question?”
Because it’s people like you Vickie - who voted Bush in - time after time - and now wont’ take responsibilit for it.
And you’re not as mainstream as you think - half of Bush’s votes were rigged.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:58 am
#44, “I don’t know to whom you are referring when you say that the tea bag protest are for the benefit of those who make too much money and fo too little.”
“including riling people up with empty rhetoric on America’s public airwaves.”
Does the rest of my statement answer your question about my statement? If not, I will be more explicit. There are people who make their living by scaring the public and then calling them to action. Some of their names are Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Neil Cavuto. They are making too much money to do little more than make people paranoid and anxious and then inciting them to “revolt”.
Look at your tax bracket. If you make more than $250,000, then your taxes will go back to the tax rate that was in place during the Clinton administration. If you make less than $250,000, then your taxes will be lower than they were under the Bush administration. If you don’t like the way the government is using your money, well then I feel your pain (tm, Clinton) because I haven’t liked my money being used for my country’s occupation of Iraq, to name just one thing.
April 14th, 2009 at 11:00 am
How dare you Kelly. You have a serious Bush problem, in my opionion.
April 14th, 2009 at 11:03 am
Kelly, I’ve heard teabagging is great for Bush problems.

April 14th, 2009 at 11:05 am
vickie i hope you dont fel personnaly attacked or insulted. I really just dont get the tax protest. It is a tax protest that is not about taxes when you get down to it. obama had his sucky bailout moments and yes he should get called on it and should get dirt for the things he deserves it for. it just random that protest are just now realizeing that there is a problem that as you mention been goin on for a while or they have a concern and again i think it is all a little missed palced. these protester should be focues on there congress people and reps and such if they feel the system is bad. the bailouts been voted own what do the protest wnat? just to be heard? thats fine but i think they need focus adn point that would be consructive
April 14th, 2009 at 11:07 am
Vickie – I need you defending me like I need Cheney’s gun cleaning tips. Besides – you’re going to have your hands full for the next several years…defending yourself.
You and every person that continues to make excuses for Bush while persecuting Obama are responsible for this mess. You brought this on all of us.
AND NOW - you want your tea party? Priceless

#50 - Kelly “Why do you guys get so angry? Did you expect that President Obama would get a free ride without criticism or question? That’s unrealistic. We need to keep them ALL on their toes. I think, and may be wrong, but some of you seem really angry that Pres. Obama is getting similar treatment that all of the presidents get throughout their presidency. It’s just what happens. Why so angry?”
IMHO, Obama isn’t getting a “free ride” however, it’s true that many of us are trying to give him a little time to make changes.
I completely agree with you that we need to keep all of them on their toes. Whether we like it or not, they are politicians, and I’m reasonably sure that being human beings, they aren’t perfect.
However, I don’t agree about the “anger” you mentioned. Again, only from my perspective, the only “anger” I’ve heard has been from the very few people who claim to be Bush supporters. From here, they seem to be “angry” that the Democrats “won” this time.
Only my opinion, but I believe it behooves all of us to admit that Bush wasn’t perfect, he wasn’t all bad either, he wasn’t entirely, personally responsible for EVERY bad thing that ever happened. Similarly, Obama is a good guy, but he’s not perfect either.
This isn’t going to work unless we all jump in and do the best we can to help ALL OF US.
Someone mentioned something about Obama asking us to help or for support (don’t want to misquote you). I know that I’ve upped my volunteer work. I’m not working now, but I’m still donating to the food bank (and taking nothing out). My point is - we all have do give a little right now.

I think, and may be wrong, but some of you seem really angry that Pres. Obama is getting similar treatment that all of the presidents get throughout their presidency. It’s just what happens. Why so angry?
here comes the “woe is me… Im just giving my view” comment.
Im not angry because President Obama is being criticized. Anyone that is doing wrong should be criticized.
My problem is, President Obama isnt doing anything wrong. All of this “criticism” is coming from the right…. (yes it is an “out dated term” but nutcase seems too harsh)… which tells me…. they arent criticizing him because of mistakes.. but because Bush was criticized. That is just sour grapes.
Bush earned every bit of criticism that he received….. he DAMAGED America. President Obama is trying to IMPROVE America, trying to improve the lives of Americans…. why should anyone be critical of that?
April 14th, 2009 at 11:17 am
“We cannot rebuild this economy on the same pile of sand,” he said, invoking a Biblical reference to Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. “We must build our house upon a rock. We must lay a new foundation for growth and prosperity a foundation that will move us from an era of borrow and spend to one where we save and invest, where we consume less at home and send more exports abroad.”
Obama also said the problem is exacerbated by politicians with an outsized interest in scoring points and an impatient media.
“When a crisis hits,” he said, “there’s all too often a lurch from shock to trance, with everyone responding to the tempest of the moment until the furor has died away and the media coverage has moved on, instead of confronting the major challenges that will shape our future in a sustained and focused way.”
“This can’t be one of those times,” Obama said.

What? No ‘Hot Topics’ today!? Nothing personal, EH, but your voice!!! Eeeekkk!! Why do you sound so rushed? But, at least you did finish your sentences today. Voice coaching? Good advise, guest, “Don’t be rude.” Ladies take note! That also counts when you want to KEEP a job. So…What’s w/ the melodramatic piano music?? Oy!, Ay!
April 14th, 2009 at 11:39 am
Actually, when you stop to think about it, Republicans protesting in the streets, it almost brings a tear to my eye.
LOVES IT
I wonder if they know how to prepare for a pepper spray attack or a Taser shock? My guess is none of them have ever been water blasted by an ice-cold fire hose. I wonder if the Republicans will start to protest against the Police State? Or want to throw their shoes in protest only to find themselves hauled away and locked in some hidden FEMA-Cheney camp without legal representation? If only we had democracy for all.
Maybe all the laid-off workers could start an Angry Republican Boot Camp. Somebody has got to show them the ropes to nonviolent civil disobedience protest. $$$$$$$$
Heeeehahahah Cha-ching

Kelly, you said “You and every person that continues to make excuses for Bush while persecuting Obama are responsible for this mess. You brought this on all of us. ” Can you provide an example of when 1)I have made excuses for Bush and 2) persecuted Obama. Maybe you’re just really funny and I’m missing the joke.
April 14th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
#71, I think you’ve got something here to keep Crazy Ass Liberals employed. You must have read about the prison consultant hired by some of Bernie Madoff’s family members. Clink the link for the whole story.
April 14th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
I only saw the second half of the View today.
I felt it was constructive and helpful.
# 49 Vickie,
I totally agree 100% with your opinion on this.
to quote President Obama..
There is not a Liberal America and a Conservative America,..there is the United States of America.
What do you think he meant by this quote?
April 14th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Thank you Sandy. The terms are getting boring and lazy. My hope for this country is the same as President Obama’s: the United States of America.
April 14th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Re: the little girl that was killed and put in the suitcase - authorities believe the Sunday school teacher suspect may have not only been the one who killed her, but also raped her too.
Wow. I just can’t wrap my mind around that one.

My hope for this country is the same as President Obama’s: the United States of America.
Im confused now Vickie….. if you want the same thing that President Obama wants, then why are you criticizing him and his plan for recovery?
I want a united America again, but that wont happen until Republicans want to join the rest of America. Im all for unity….. but Im just playing by the rules set up by the right….. again, they set up the rules then dont want to play by them.
In Congress…. Republicans vote along party lines…. they dont vote the interest of their districts…. they vote how their “leaders” tell them how to vote. How is that unity?
When a Republican talks about “unity” what they mean is, do it the way we want it done or we will vote against it. How is that unity?
It seems to me that when the right stops being part of the Party of No, and starts becoming part of the solution then we can get rid of the “left/right” terms…. until then, until Republicans want to become Americans first…. I will continue to point out the difference between the right and myself.
I would prefer unity, but Im not the one that needs to change.
April 14th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I like how all of the sudden it’s boring and lazy to use labels to describe people, when the “right” has been throwing them around without regard for years.
Try some of these labels:
Anti-American
Socialist
Immoral
Unpatriotic
Sodomite
Elitist
Communist
Gay
Immigrant
Terrorist
You want unity? You start. We’re just waiting for you.

April 14th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Vickie – you just innocently asked a board full of liberals to remember the Taxpayer’s Tea Parties tomorrow — in protest of President Obama’s policies.
You’re right – I had you all wrong. You’re the funny one – and so superior.
Vickie’s Obama persecution: “For those who are interested, tomorrow is the day - Taxpayer’s Tea Parties abound. Enough housing bailouts, enough bank bailouts, enough bailouts for everyone who took risks that didn’t pay off. People who played by the rules and paid their own debts shouldn’t be forced to pay for all these bailouts. I support Rick Santelli’s call for a Taxpayer Tea Party to defend our country’s founding free-market principles.”
Vickie’s BUSH excuse: “Kelly, too bad that it is too late to address what Bush (and other presidents) have done to us over the years.”
Republicans have never fought for a United States of America until they became the minority. Now they want equality – now they feel the burn of their divisiveness.
Every Republican “leader” out there is preaching division. And they’re getting if from the Party of No and from the teabaggers.
What stimulus programs are you protesting Vickie?
Nice to see you again Sandy -
April 14th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Lets not forget
Coward
Treason/traitor
Terrorist supporter
Heathen …. as we all know only the right are good christians.
Flip-Flopper
Anti-family
There are loads of them….. but I guess when it is the left that is being insulted that is fair game.
This whole US against THEM argument started by the right…. they defined the rules….. now that we are playing by their rules and we are winning….. they are complaining about the rules and want to change them again.
That is unity…. we are playing the rights game and we are kicking their ass.
April 14th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Bern – may I add:
Boring
Lazy
Those are Faux keywords for undeserving socialist welfare lazy bastards receiving the RICH’s money from Robinhood Obama.
The Rich – who worked soooooo hard for their assets. So uncommonly hard (unlike all of us) for all that money – that they can’t even believe how good GOD has been to them. How scared they all are now that they might lose it to the black family down the street.
April 14th, 2009 at 2:01 pm

“to quote President Obama..
There is not a Liberal America and a Conservative America,..there is the United States of America.”
What do you think he meant by this quote?”
Response:
perhaps he was referring to the By-partisan merge, he so very much tries to instill in our government.Remember all the parties he tried to make “nice-nice” with in the beginning of his Presidency ? I am making “lite” of a very serious approach with the Left_** and the Right_**.
April 14th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
MORE ‘UNIFYING’ WORDS USED BY THE RIGHT:
O’Reilly = “Pinheads” - “Smear merchants”
Limbaugh = “Femin - Nazis”
The New GOP = “Barack The Magic Negro”
Real Unifying.
Just makes me want to kiss and make up.
April 14th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Phony Soldiers (Rush called our troops)
Tree Huggers
Rag Heads
Wetbacks
Dykes (referring to Hillary)
N-word (as heard at Palin rallies)
Baby Killers (fav term of anti-choice voters)
April 14th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Well, we weren’t there, we don’t know if the latest Obama conspiracy is true or not. Had the family pretended to be interested in a shelter dog when in reality they had Bo picked out already.
One small positive about the Sandra Cantu murder is that the case was cracked open thanks to the efforts of a local Tracy newspaper journalist. She was the first one the suspect told about her “stolen” suitcase.
How ironic that the gals were trying to bring oscar to task yesterday. Because they are the queens of the impeccably mannered apology. bits, many viewers were upset with your mccain t-shirt. “they must be obama supporters.” sorry, mr. sparkle glasses.
April 14th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
More post - election unifying words from the Republican Party.
” I hope President Barack Obama fails. ”

April 14th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
MORE UNIFYING WORDS FROM FOX NEWS NETWORK :
…uh, Vickie and Sandy, call me a lil’ frigid uptight Jersey Gal, but I just am not quite feelin’ the unifying love yet.
Read the below:
Recent events undermine the argument that Fox News should be treated as a credible, “fair and balanced” news outlet. For example, since launching his Fox News show, Glenn Beck, who has emerged as a prominent player in the network’s lineup of weekday programs, has engaged in increasingly outrageous rhetoric that promotes a culture of conservative paranoia. His recent actions include:
1. Imitating President Obama pouring gasoline onto the “average American”: On April 9, Beck responded to, among other things, reports that President Obama will pursue immigration reform by imitating Obama pouring gasoline onto the “average American.” After lighting and extinguishing a match, Beck asked: “President Obama, why don’t you just set us on fire?”
2. Mocking Obama’s aunt’s “limp”: On April 2, Beck — using a cane as a prop — devoted large portions of a segment to mocking Obama’s aunt’s “limp.”
3. Portraying Obama and Democrats as vampires: On March 30, Beck portrayed Obama and Democrats as vampires “going after the blood of our businesses” and suggested “driv[ing] a stake through the heart of the bloodsuckers.”
Also, in recent weeks, Beck and Fox News have engaged in anti-Obama political activism through their aggressive promotion of the upcoming tea party protests, which the network has portrayed as a response to Obama’s fiscal policies. In addition to repeatedly airing graphics describing the protests as “FNC TAX DAY TEA PARTIES,” Fox News has run advertisements promoting them, listed information about the parties on its various websites, and aired graphics touting the date, time, location, and website of specific tea parties. And Fox News hosts such as Beck have encouraged viewers to attend the protests.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Fow News is indeed shilling to cash in for these Tea Bag Events. Hmmm, wonder if they have a sponsor so they can rake in more money at the expense of their ridiculous, naiive audience.
Lipton, anyone? Celestial Seasonings?
I’m a Sleepytime and Red Zinger kind of gal.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
The people who will be protesting tomorrow do not seem to be able to draw the line (it’s a pretty straight one) from the past 8 years of Republican administration to the crisis we are in today. I can’t help but believe that without Faux Noise and Rush, their followers would not be able to articulate an opposing view.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
the topic of this little girl’s murder has come up a couple of times. I have a question.
As you all have probably figured out from my posts, that I dont have a lot of respect for religion. I dont know if God exists or not…. so I dont see the point in condemning people that dont blindly believe.
That being said…. what is the point of religion? The woman that killed this little girl, and possibly raped her before she was killed, this woman was the daughter of a preacher. She grew up with religion guiding her….. a religious family… Im assuming that this family put God first…. but still she grew up in that “good and loving family” and still went out and killed an innocent child.
Whats the point?
April 14th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Religion is a great way to control people with fear of hell and damnation. Spirituality is a connectedness to all other beings. Religion is a set of rules and punishments. Some people can find spirituality in religion. Some don’t.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
It is beyond sad when people who are in positions of repect and authority like, police, doctors and soliders do things that are so horrible. But while some people find solice and change there lives do to religion others are no better for religon and some or worse for it. (Have a firend who got divorced cause of religon and yes they were the same faith).But people are people not there religon so the prechers action have nothing to do with her faith. she was a bad person no matter how much she tried to be a faithful person.
julieanne ita
hi sandy
April 14th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Alright…. it finally has to be pointed out.
Clink the pink link…..
teabagging is a degrading sexual term.
Does anyone else find it ironic that the gay bashing, sex hating, freedom blocking right wing nutcases are all gathering around teabagging protests.
The promoting of teabagging from Faux News and all of those republicans that are still in the closet.
I wonder if Jeff Gannon came up with the idea.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
#95 mibi–
But people are people not there religon so the prechers action have nothing to do with her faith. she was a bad person no matter how much she tried to be a faithful person.
But that isnt quite true mibi….. people are defined by their religion. In fact… if a religious person is discussing with a non believer, they will point out all of the “bad” things that will happen to you for not believing. Have you ever heard the “God will get you for that”?
That same person will “dismiss” this killer as someone that wasnt faithful enough….. I doubt any “christian” will define this “Sunday school teacher” as a christian murderer….. one might even say a christian terrorist.
I feel like Im rambling and not making my point….. so Ill just shut up now.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
EH: “Quick, quick, give me the talking points.” Ayers (passe, no longer on the radar), First Lady’s attire, POTUS bowing (so yesterday), Obama’s teleprompter speech (nobody caught the dig). You’re on your own now, Bitsy. Just you, your MIL, BG and Hannity. Show us what you got.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I googled to see where the tea party was in my area, they had a list of slogans for a “tasteful” sign - my favorite was
Hey government, stop dumping your incompetence on my kids.
Roger - I don’t think religion has much to do with sociopaths - they are insane, imo. Although don’t often take the insanity plea.
Ted Bundy, Scott Peterson, Casey Anthony would be examples.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
TMZ just put up a photo of EH carrying a less-than hsppy-Taylor. I almost feel sorry for her. Don’t know how to do that clink on alink thing.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
no roger what your saying is understood your fine. but I dont think people are defined by religon. if i told you im jewish. what does that mean? you dont know if ima orthodox, ultra orthodo or a spriutal jewish person. and even adter i tell you. you only have a partial pictures. I will conceed that people identiify with a religon but it does not defien them in a uniform way.
some people of course use religon in all part of life and tak about it and that maybe who you are speaking us. Iam afarid to tell my christain (she does not call herself that she ivery nice but she is very religous) hairdresser that iam not. i think most people wiil see it like the priest scandal where it a shame and sad but not the story of the church as whole and people will forgive the church and go forth because most everyone else is good hearted. I agree roger it is very distubing
April 14th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Excellent Information Diane #90
And Glenn Beck was supposed to be the sane Republican - crying on stage, waving the flag and burning Americans. There is no hope for this has-been party.
There is no sincerity in anyone wanting unity who also attends the Teabagger’s Party. They don’t want unity – they want things the way there were – hidden budgets, illegal wars, and the illusion of prosperity for white loyal Republican Americans who live in exclusive all-white neighborhoods. They want the white dream again where assets are minimal but credit is large. Fancy cars and fine dining, expensive wines and long vacations – all the while bad mouthing the middleclass Americans as BORING AND LAZY. How pathetic.
Faux should be tried for treason – there is no coincidence between Faux’s heightened rhetoric and the rash of gun violence of late. THAT is what Vickie is supporting -

Thx for the heads up on the photo of Hasslebeck and Son. Was not quite convinced it was her, until I saw….the dreaded…oh no, say it ain’t so, ….MAN HANDS.
Yes. She has MAN HANDS. Just like the infamous Seinfeld episode.
Truth be told, like Elizabeth Hasselebck’s politics or not, the girl can open a steamed 4 lb. lobster with her bare hands.
More melted butter anyone?
April 14th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Just passing along a post from the TMZ site.
Where is her wedding ring?
April 14th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Rog, us gals take our wedding rings off when :
1) we gain weight
2) we are doing heavy duty yard work, planting, etc.
3) we are doing icky kitchen work, prepping a roast chicken, scouring the sink, etc.
4) we are preparing to crack open 5 lb. steamed lobsters for everyone at dinner.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Im not sure…. but I doubt that Id be pleased if my wife decided that her wedding ring was just an accessory. I must be old fashion or something….. isnt a wedding ring part of all that “family values” that the right wing nutcases are always harping on?
Then again…. she is one of “those” set up the rules but dont follow them.
April 14th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
I rarely wear my wedding ring. I never would have consented to my father “giving me away”. We eloped. All non-traditional choices.
I am still very much married, in love and loyal.
April 14th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
On a serious note: just some thoughts to Roger’s question on religion. Certainly a question man has asked for all of written history. But I offer my own personal thoughts to weigh in:
Mental illness has no boundaries. It afflicts families with traditional religious dogma and those without. Perhaps in some cases certainly not all, traditional religion is used as an ‘all purpose answer’ to questions mankind has long asked:… why do bad things happen to good people’? what happens after we die? what is the meaning of my life?
I see religion as levels of consciousness.There is no one right or wrong view or type of religion - it is right for where you are at in your spiritual journey, in this lifetime; in this ’sojourn’ on the planet. Your consciousness on earth is your classroom; your circumstances are your lessons plans. We are students. It is here we must try to learn and better ourselves - and the goal is to love ourselves and one another.Ultimately quite profound and quite simple all at the same time.
I also believe that there are some families that use religion to their detriment - to explain what they found to be unexplainable - when maybe what they needed was a good psycho therapist - to resolve bad childhoods, negative unresolved guilt, shame, anger, sadness (the 4 negative emotions), abuse. For example - you just cannot pray that stuff away - just like you can’t pray cancer away - you also do need pragmatic scientific treatments, medicine. You cannot just ‘pray away’ childhood abuse, you need professional help.
I believe that all that we are the manifestations of all our emotions - the good, the bad, the to-be-resolved. And if we as individuals don’t do the ‘work’ to resolve our issues in this lifetime - we will have to resolve it the next. That’s the meaning karma. It never goes away. The universe as permanent ‘rubber’ walls. It all comes back to us. ( You know, as in the last line of the Beatles Abbey Road album, side two:”.. and in the end, the love we make, is equal to the love we take.”
And I don’t believe that if an innocent child is not baptized that the child will not go to heaven. And I don’t believe that if you do not have any formal religious upbringing, that it will have a negative consequence on your afterlife.
My dear, dear Father(real Dad, not heavenly Father) , still alive and kicking, and riding his Harleys at 80 years old. Has absolutely no formal child hood religion. He is sort of agnostic. But I never met a more moral, humanist, decent kind soul in my life.
Lastly, I often offer up and have written on this blog - after we look at the anger of Limbaugh, the insanity of Beck, the bullying of O’Reilley - - what are their personal unresolved issues that are playing out in a public forum ? And George W. Bush, reformed alcoholic, but never went to Rehab, just ‘quit on his own’. Didnt do the 12 steps. Found religion instead. Manic bike rider, re-born Christian, no attention span, perhaps he traded one addiction for the other? Booze for religion and excercise? Both ‘mood altering’. You know that when he was 7 yrs old that his little sister died….Mom and Dad Bush didnt discuss the loss. They went to play golf. They didn’t teach the little guy to ‘empathize” and how to grieve.What to do with emotional pain.
Glen Beck’s mother committed suicide. Rush Limbaugh was an overweight boy, called “Rusty” with high achiever military father, brothers, uncles. Rush was 4-F. You know that Karl Rove’s real father committed suicide……how do you think that might that affect a child??? Their ability to love, to get over sadness, to empathize with the plight of others. Or to do bad things to others as an adult.
As we consider the Republican hate mongers, the wing nuts, the odd birds, the Bachmanns, the Delays, the Cheneys, the names above - - I always wonder what their personal ‘backstory’ is. I belive it explains alot - and we as voters are most likely victims of grown up children who never properly and healthily resolved their personal issues.
Thanks for just reading this. To discuss religion in brief blogs is a challenge. But

WOW
Diane – that information is - W. O. W.
From Rainlillie’s site:
An April 7 report by the Department of Homeland Security is causing waves of indignation among conservatives for labeling “rightwing extremism” the “most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.”
FOX news – Vickie’s station – has just been identified as a domestic terrorist.
Have fun teabagging Vickie – take some ID.
April 14th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Thanks Diane # 111…..
April 14th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
nice post Diane…. but like always it just brings up more questions.
none of it makes sense to me….. people with a religious upbringing do terrible things…. people who are “agnostic” like your dad can be the good people. So whats the point?
a couple of times, this good christian, sunday school teacher, preacher’s daughter has been “excused” from her terrible crime by assuming that she is mentally ill…. Unless she was “off her meds” then that is no excuse.
We have to stop dismissing evil people by saying that wasnt their fault… they arent to be held accountable because they are mentally ill…. This woman made a choice, it was the wrong choice… all of her religious upbringing did nothing to stop her from making this choice. So why should anyone bother with religion?
I know there isnt an answer to that question…. so I guess the question is moot
April 14th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I haven’t posted in a while but today’s show pissed me off sooooo much I have to vent. When Whoopi asked the first guy they had on what was the cause of the recession/unemployment he said: GREED. Elisabeth sat there smirking as they guy described how GREED mainfest itself in people wanting bigger and better real estate, consumer goods they didn’t need, etc. All I could think about was this moron’s $3million+ condo and the made-in-China schlock she and other members hock on QVC, using the show as a advertising forum. This includes Elizabeth’s crap clothese, Whoopis bedsheets (WTF) and Joy and BW’s books (even though these are not sold on QVC). I’m sure many of the people who buy this crap would be better off spending their hard-earned dollars (or benefits checks) on health food, their kids education and healthcare, etc. As the show went on and Elisabeth continued her with her faux-compassionate, totally uninformed questions - ‘ok, ok’…I was ready to throw a vase at the TV. Th

nice venting Sunny……. come back more often….. this site is therapeutic.
thanks for sharing. *hugs*
April 14th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
I counted 19 ok’s (or similar) from EH’s piehole during that segment. (Man, I hate that expression but it’s true to me in her case.)
I thought the format was totally wrong for the view. Someone on another site said this should have been aired on Friday.
Having been laid off in November I was annoyed with SS for asking (in the Buddy Seminar) women how WAS this affecting their families, WERE they making sacrifices?
I mean, really - most of them were on the verge of tears already.
They pimped out 2 books and never even discussed other avenues of help - local unemployment offices, internet sites, my local library is doing a week of helping, how to call companies for reductions of payments (ie cable) or pro-rating electricity or renegotiating interest rates on credit cards. Like I can afford to buy 2 books to teach me what I can get for free.
Good grief, they even pimped out Joy’s daughter’s pottery on esteys.
They don’t get it, and don’t do it well.
April 14th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Correction - SS didn’t say how was this…just WAS it affecting her family?
Even on her twitter tonight she was flustered that she should have pointed out you can twitter for a job!

Yup Stacee- I’m still hoping we can succeed from Alaska.
HI SUNNY -
April 15th, 2009 at 5:46 am
…secede from Alaska.
Also - since the Department of Homeland Security has classified right-wing extremists as a domestic terrorist threat that would mean that ELISABETH HASSELBECK is a terrorist.
Hasselbeck is a terrorist who pals around with other terrorists. What does that say about her judgment? Time and time again, she has palled around with Hannity. For years she sat on The View spewing right-wing hate rhetoric and defended Bush and his disastrous policies. I question her judgment and her associations – and so does the DHS.
I wonder if they have a “file” on Elisabeth yet? I wonder if they are watching her Twitter Tweets? I wonder if she still thinks Domestic Spying is necessary “in a time of war?”
I wonder if they’ll waterboard her for information? I wonder if she’ll think its torture then?
Google: DHS Crooks and Liars
Queen Teabagger Michelle Malkin better hurry up and get worried too. Has anyone seen the hot tranny mess – Coulter? She must be in a FEMA camp.

# 81 kelly, hi % thanks
# 95 midi, hi to you too sweet mibi.
I guess I’m just an optimistic person,
Wishful thinking…I’m still hoping.
Yes, I too have read or heard most of those negative names & terms used to describe Democrats & Liberals. I think it tells a lot about the character of the ones who use those terms. I don’t agree with it at all, and think it’s wrong.
At the same tine, I’ve also read some pretty negative words & terms describing Republicans & Conservatives.
I just feel if we want Unity, we have to promote it. I try as hard as I can to do my part.
