#1 FOX NEWS AM > GLENN BECK > IIIRC, Beck was noting how the Bammer's OBAMACARE is riling = angering mainstream Amers like nothing has in a very long time, at least within Beckie's lifetime. NORMALLY DOCILE OR PEACEFUL AMER CITIZENS ARE NOW BRINGING OUT THE STREET SIGNS, BUILDING EFFIGIESS, + STARTING TO YELL LOUDLY, ETC.??? BECK EXPRESSED WORRIES ABOUT AMER'S DIVISIONS BREAKING WIDE OPEN UNDER POTUS OBAMA AND THREATENING THE CONSTITUTION + REPUBLIC.

In closing out his show, Beck urged Amers to always "BE PEACEFUL, BUT FORCEFUL" IN SUPPOR THEIR PERSONAL BELIEFS OR CONVICTIONS, about any issue.

#2 OOOOOOPSIES, forgot to say that BECK GUEST JUDGE NAPOLITANO > IIRC briefly ascribed how DEMOCRATS + REPUBS have differing ideas or concepts on what constitutes "BIG GOVERNMENT", espec in America. Could be wrong, but I be;lieve it was BECK? whom replied to the Judge that, regardless of their differentiations, EITHER SIDE MUST DE FACTO SUPPOR THE IDEALS AND PREMISES OF THE US CONSTITUTION + PERSONAL FREEDOM, AND NOT WORK AGZ SAME???

#4 When politicians "rule something out" I always think of this old bit from Monty Python:
There is no cannibalism in the British Navy. Absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than we are prepared to admit...

#6 What Gibbs said was that it would be bad for the eceonomy to raise taxes during a recession. Unfortunately, nobody at the "press conference" asked what would happen after the recession ended.

#7 "Unfortunately, nobody at the "press conference" asked what would happen after the recession ended."

No need to, DoDo.

They'll raise taxes and start a NEW recession, of course. And blame it on Bush.

#12 No middle-class tax increases, White House insists

- I'm from the government. I'm here to help you.
- The check's in the mail.
- Of course I'll respect you in the morning.
- It's just a cold sore.
