CNN State of the Union with John King

I guess some would say "Well, the Dems stand to lose political strength if they can't pass this bill with a lopsided Senate, and they ake the current administration look bad if they can't do it in the time set by the President." But I gotta think that the Dems would rather take more time constructing the bill than putting forth something that would... Read More cripple the economy and hurt the middle class. And as far as the "constituents" and polls issues, I don't think it's that more Americans don't want this bill or don't want a public option. But I think a lot of Dem supporters are comfortable with the fact they we have so much majority in Washington, that we are resting and thinking "There's no way this won't pass", while the Reps have once again riled up their base with fear mongering and misinformation and they are the ones calling the Senate and Congress offices, protesting, and taking most of these polls.

MSM has been very sympathetic to the hardship Lincoln and other Blue Dog's face in next election. I have yet to hear any clear logic from these Blue Bitches and Dogs, about why PO is not going to do what their President has been saying all along, lower cost and keeping the insurance companies honest. I can not imagine anybodies' conscience telling ... Read Morethem to not vote for a Public Insurance Option. Only thing that is propelling them is their Corporate Patrons. MSM has not challenged their lack of lack of logic and the attempts to protect Corporate interests. As Paul Krugman says, the MSM has been falling for the GOP propaganda hook, line and sinker. They do not have the guts to call an obvious lie a lie. Instead they project the lie as another valid point of view deserving equal to the proposition about which the lie is being spread. Only conclusion I come to is that being a Corporate Tool is not the exclusive province of legislators, many in MSM, are driven to curry the same favors.

I would like to ask him why he did not answer your questions. and What is his plan for the US other than extending the Afgan war!

lol the polls i see most don't want these healthcare bill that radical change the way it is they want steps their way too much taxing and mandating personal choose. and what the rush look at the senate they don't want too payout till2014 but they want money next year. and who going to keep track of this money or is it going like social security we ... Read Morethey take money from healthcare and use it some place elese. who responseable for all this, who going too make sure their no waste or fraud. the goverment not doing a good job of their own programs

Well go Wizards!

Here is my take on those dumb Republicans that are calling for Tim Gitner's resignation. Republicans are trying with all of their might to wttdle down Pres. Obama's point men. One by one they are uncovering 'dumb stuff' with no substance behind it, just thea-at-tricks. Anytime you and other networks give those smiling clowns air time you are ... Read Morefeeding their egos, nothing more, nothing less. Why don't you have a reporter at their news conferences questions their asinine rherotic. Wipe the smiles off of their arrogant faces.

I love Little Rock. Some of the best restaurants and yes the Clinton Library is wonderful.

Hey, I am one of the nearly 23,000,000 people that got a job under Clinton. Bill never talked about jobs saved. To bad that he cannot run again.

Kudos, and hats off to you @ John Alanouf! I thought Rudy was the man in 2001, but what has happened? He needs to shut his mouth because he is making himself look like a fool. NY is full of crazies, what the hell difference can having a trial there make. If anything the trial is the "chickens coming home to roost!"

WELL THAT WAS A NOT SO SUBTLE DIS. WAY TO GO AXELROD

ANYONE WHO THINKS OBAMA IS A MUSIM IS IN LALA LAND. HE JUST IS NOT A PREACHING EVANGELIST. AND AT THIS TIME OF MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEE TWO GREAT FAITHS WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A MAN WHO LIVED IN INDONESIA, WHICH IS A MULTIPLE RELIGIOUS SOCIETYY

Islam is not a religion. It is a violent cult that has mislead it's followers for thousands of years. They kill their own families and call it an HONOR KILLING. They have no idea what HONOR is and that was prooven at Fort Hood and many times before that encluding 9/11. If this is a GREAT FAITH then you are as misguided and these poor meak sheep ... Read Morelike people that will drink the kool aid out of fear. Fear is a way of life there. I say fear can be used in a good way. It's not Face Everything And Run (F.E.A.R.) It's Face Everything And Revolutionize or Recover.Use Fear to build courage When I see millions of Islamic nut cases go to the Capital stand against their own, then maybe I'll losen up. All I've seen so far are those Islamic cultist fooled by a lunatic wanna-be Massiah with a neurallogical disorder stand for a suspected domestic terrorist protesting that he is being profiled. He was being watched and all they (FBI, CIA) wanted to do is ask questions and they(Islam nut cases) didn't like being threatened of being exposed. They use our laws, that protects us, against us. They have property of 100's of acres. Neighbors hear rapid gunfire inside their compound. Witnesses say they have seen a bus full of young middle-easten men dressed in NYC Port Authority Uniformsgo inside while a guard stands at the gate. Hmmmm Need I say More? Yes
Later.

I dont understand what Palin has ever SAID THAT WOULD MAKE anyone IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, support her for ANYTHING, let alone being VP/Pres.

Or even buying her books.

Hey Polk, Bush made it bad, Obama will make it worse.

what are the benefits of the 9/11 suspects being tried in civilian court rather than in military court? so much fuss over this issue...

Very impressed! Oh yea, Congrats John.

Journalism is about reporting the facts. Adding "opinions" becomes commentary or simply crass low-brow "entertainment." I think Jerry Springer once held the corner on that.

Simple J school training from the 90's but it should still be valid.

I hardly think "replace"is the correct term. More like extreme makeover.

I feel bad for everyone on that base.

I LOVED Military Life, it was a hard transition out of it, watching all of those people on ft hood today reminded me of the cohesiveness within Military Families, Its our duty as citizerns to make sure, their sacrifices are not being wasted or abused, we havent done a very good job of that over the past 10 years.

we have paid lip service to our values and the Military families suffer the brunt, we have allowed the government to use education as a carrot to do their bidding, and too often their bidding has been self serving, thats OUR failure. we have become so complacent in our work to maintain a standard of living for our children, and that we have neglected our duties as HUMANS. all of these soldiers and all of these Iraqis and all of these afghanistanis, just want the same things we want, to raise their children and be able to work and feed and clothe them, they want them to be educated and self fulfilled and self actualized, they want for their children the same LIFE LIBERTY and Pursuit of Happiness for their children as we want for ours, they rose up against the elites in their nation with the help of the Russiansd out of the hope that they would get these things, we defeated that cause, and left them with less than when we found them, Thats NOT the American way.

we are supposed to be spreadying civil liberties and democracy wherever we go, not infringing on their liberties for the gain of our elites.... Read More

we need financial reform a federal reserve that funds the building maintenance of the systems that provide for the general wellfare of the people, thats why the government exists and the money exists , they are tools we created to help us maintain Life Liberty and Self actualization. they havent been backed by anything since Nixon, so its time we put our money where our mouths are. and do whats right, fund it

John I was looking at your show this morning and you had the two analysts on and the republican analyst said that “the GOP needed to attract Latino’s and younger people”. I guess they believe African American community is a lost cause. I think that’s a bad strategy excluding a whole group of people out of your outreach efforts is a bad policy. That their problem now telling people who is a good American.

African Americans should know about the fight to be free. Now we have a black president and he's a socialist trying to destroy this country and take away our freedoms. It would be the legacy of African Americans to bring us back into slavery.

Thanks John... Looking forward to it ..

I look forward to hearing how Mr. Gorbachev feels about the Afghanistan War. Also, what his thoughts are, on the similarities and/or differences that are now in play. Is the situation Russia WAS confronted with in Afghanistan, any different today, than when they were immersed in conflict with them?
