1. I heard him say that
and had the same reaction - I just thank god (yes, obama, I'm praying) that Mike is there to express the anger I feel much more articulately than I ever could.

4. Yes, he's the only one on the air who has the rage that we need
to start to take the country back from King Glenn.

2. Update - Malloy: Unless you're stoopid you should now realize
that this leak cannot be stopped (what's going to change after 57 days?).

6. Then our President should have been honest and told us that.
Instead, he told us to have faith it would magically get fixed, because we won World War II.

or your eyes. Everyone knows nobody knows how to stop the damn thing except those who are being willfully ignorant or just ignorant.

19. Uh did you not pay attention?! Obviously not. He did say just that.
My teacher always said paying attention for more than 3 minutes is difficult and deals with special training.

25. Do you have a problem if I don't agree with Malloy......
or is he always right? See, I don't think anyone is always right,
including the President or Mr. Malloy for that matter.

As for prayers.....some of us do that.
Is that a problem with you, because if it is,
then Vive La Difference....wouldn't you say?

29. No I don't. And actually that's very boring, cause it is normal.
I just don't stand in line for the chance to pounce on his throat....
or try to light his feet on fire, lest I burn the whole house down.
If and when the Republicans take power again, at least I will not have assisted
in a real loud voice, stating the same disatisfaction over and over again.

I will not be cowed into obeisance to a corporatist in sheep's clothing because I'm scared the GOP might win. Been there, done that.

31. I'm not looking for "Satisfaction"......
that's not what I expect from politics.

I expect progress, and I believe that is what I'm seeing.

As for what you do; I don't have any say over that.
That's comes with being a liberal, not having much to say about what
other folks decide to do,
even if it is dumb and indirectly reverses progress instead of aiding it along.

34. belief in progress ..
there's that word, belief again. Sort of like faith...no evidence behind it, but it's comforting.

36. I have two daughters in College, and I am self employed and have to buy my own
health insurance....and part of what I do for a living
is prepare taxes as I am an accountant.

So in addition to the issue of my kid's college loans,
the upcoming reduction in my high ass health insurance
(and the fact that my kids can remain insured through me),
and the tangible action of having my mortgage refinanced
which lowered my monthly payment considerably,
and the savings some of the small business that I service
who are taking part in the Small Business health care credit,
and that one of my daughters and her husband just bought their first house,
and received their $8,000 credit (I'm the one who amended their 2009 returns)
tells me that the progress that I am seeing isn't faith based at all,
it is totally tangible. I can feel it, touch it, smell it and yes
taste it! Doh! :crazy:

5. Malloy is a freakshow.
For the record, I am a long time listener. In the early 1990s, his was the most refreshing voice on talk radio here in Atlanta. In the past few years, he's gone way :crazy: though.

15. Hyperbole is so easy, isn't? If people cannot differentiate between
a moderate Dem and a neo con Rethug then they have issues. Look up a political spectrum some time.

Also, Bush never mentioned the technical definition of peak oil, did he?

18. What I want to know is who approved this stoooopid oil drilling
5000 feet below water level? There is not one submarine in the US Naval fleet
which can withstand the enormous pressure down there. Why was this project
approved without concurrent relief wells to mollify accidents such as this?

The whole thing stinks to high heaven!

21. Obama's "Handlers"...Axelrod and Emmanuel and others are doing him Dirty!
Obama needs to ditch them. Read this speech of his earlier today from Pensacola, FLA. This is a transcript and I'm sure "WhiteHouse.Gov." and You Tube have the Video of the Speech. It was really good.

--------
ull text of Obama's address at Pensacola NAS: '

As Americans, we don't quit. We keep coming'



I want to thank your outstanding local leaders for welcoming me here today, including Captains Chris Plummer, Mike Price and Brad Martin. Give them a big round of applause. (Applause.) And your great senior enlisted leaders, including Master Chief Mike Dollen, give them a big round of applause. (Applause.)

I want to thank all the spouses and families who are joining us here today. You hold our military families together, so we honor your service as well.

It is great to be here in Pensacola -- America's oldest naval air station, "the cradle of naval aviation." We've got Navy -- all the students of the Naval Air Technical Training Center. (Applause.) We've got Training Wing Six, maybe a few Blue Angels. We've got the United States Marines in the house -- (applause) -- maybe a few Air Force and Army, too. (Applause.)

obamatroops.jpgView full size(AP photo/ Michael Spooneybarger)President Barack Obama greets troops at the Pensacola Naval Air Station in Pensacola Fla., Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Obama is on a two day visit to Mississippi, Alabama and Florida stepping up his efforts to limit the economic fallout from the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Now, I don't know how many could be here, because they're out there on the water right now, responding to the spill -- but I want to thank all the folks at Coast Guard Station Pensacola for their outstanding work. (Applause.) And I know somebody who is especially proud of them, and that's the former Commandant of the Coast Guard who postponed his retirement to answer his country's call once more and coordinate the federal response effort to the spill -- and that's Admiral Thad Allen. Please give him a big round of applause. (Applause.)

Now, I was just down at the Pensacola Beach Gulf Pier, at the Fish Sandwich Snack Bar. Now, I don't know if any of you ever checked it out. It's a nice spot. We were there with some of Florida's state and local leaders to discuss the situation here. I want to acknowledge the hard work that's being done by the governor of Florida, Charlie Crist; Florida's Chief Financial Officer, Alex Sink; Senators Bill Nelson, George LeMieux, representatives who are here today -- we got Jeff Miller and Corrine Brown and Ted Deutch. Please give them a big round of applause. (Applause.)

We've got Escambia County Commissioner Grover Robinson and Pensacola Mayor Mike Wiggins. Thank you very much for your outstanding efforts. (Applause.)

I know all of you join me in thanking these leaders and their communities -- because they're your neighbors -- for the incredible support that they give all the men and women and your families here in Pensacola. So we're grateful to you.

But this is my fourth visit to the Gulf Coast since the start of this spill. Yesterday, I was over in Gulfport, Mississippi; Theodore, Alabama; and now Pensacola -- assessing the situation, reviewing the response, seeing what needs to be done better and faster, and talking with folks -- whether fishermen or small business people and their families -- who are seeing their lives turned upside-down by this disaster.

Here in Pensacola, the beautiful beaches are still open. The sand is white and the water is blue. So folks who are looking for a good vacation, they can still come down to Pensacola. People need to know that Pensacola is still open for business. But that doesn't mean that people aren't angry. That doesn't mean that people aren't scared. That doesn't mean that people have concerns about the future -- we all have those concerns. And people have every right to be angry.

Those plumes of oil are off the coast. The fishing waters are closed. Tarballs have been coming ashore. And everybody is bracing for more.

So I'll say today what I've been saying up and down the coast over the last couple of days and over the last month. Yes, this is an unprecedented environmental disaster -- it's the worst in our nation's history. But we're going to continue to meet it with an unprecedented federal response and recovery effort -- the largest in our nation's history. This is an assault on our shores, and we're going to fight back with everything we've got.

And that includes mobilizing the resources of the greatest military in the world. (Applause.) Here at Naval Air Station Pensacola, you've been one of the major staging areas. You've helped to support the response effort. And I thank you for that, and I know the people of Pensacola thank you for that. And all along the Gulf coast, our men and women in uniform -- active, Guard, and Reserve -- from across the country are stepping up and helping out.

They're soldiers on the beaches putting out sandbags and building barriers and cleaning up the oil, and helping people process their claims for compensation from BP. They're sailors and Marines offering their ships and their skimmers and their helicopters and miles of boom. They're airmen overhead, flying in equipment and spraying dispersant. And, of course, there are Coast Guardsmen and women on the cutters, in the air, working around the clock.

And when I say this is the largest response of its kind in American history, I mean it. We've got more than 5,000 vessels on site -- skimmers, tugs, barges, dozens of aircraft. More than 27,000 personnel are on the scene, fighting this every day, putting out millions of feet of boom and cleaning the shores.

All told, we've authorized the deployment of 17,500 National Guardsmen to respond to this crisis. So far, only about 1,600 have been activated. That leaves a lot of Guardsmen ready to help. And if our governors call on them, I know they'll be ready, because they're always ready.

So I want the people of this region to know that my administration is going to do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to deal with this disaster. That includes the additional actions I announced yesterday to make sure that seafood from the Gulf is safe to eat. It includes steps we've taken to protect the safety of workers involved in the cleanup. It includes the new command structure I announced this morning to make sure states and local communities like Pensacola have the autonomy and the resources that they need to go forward.
