Open Thread & Late Night Extra: FNS Panel Talks AFTER the Show

Chris Wallace’s Fox News Sunday panel talks after the show about Obama’s budget — and how the Obama administration is HUNTING FOR $$$$ to pay for their Nancy Pelosi-style plans. Me? I want us to focus on first things first: First we get out of big-time trouble economically, we unfreeze credit so that businesses can expand and new businesses can start up, we regulate the banks with Sheila Bair (HER VIDEO IS BELOW THE FOLD!) leading the way, and also have Sheila make the monster banks smaller. THEN, and only then, we address the rest.
We can’t do it ALL at once!!! When China’s premier is questioning our credit worthiness and Larry Johnson is predicting runaway inflation [Larry said that on Batchelor's Sunday show], methinks we need to get our house in order and then build the add-ons — and only if we can. If we have to wait a few years, we wait a few years.
Now I realize that the Teflon Don of D.C., Mr. Barack Obama, has some experience buying things he can’t afford, like his mansion in Chicago, but perhaps the American people realize they’re not going to get such sweetheart deals with crooks in order to bail themselves out of massive debt because they’re already in bed with the Chinese Communists to the tune of ONE-FOURTH of ALL U.S. DEBT (!), and the American people would eventually like to sleep alone, fleece-free, and out from under the thumb of the Chinese, so much so we dare not mention human rights! (More about that tomorrow!)
Larry Doyle’s and my hero, Sheila Bair:
JUST A THOUGHT: Since Sheila has the FDIC job down cold, could she also pinch-hit as Secretary of the Treasury? Just a thought …
… and while we’re dreaming, can Hillary pinch-hit for Obama as president?
(I always say to myself: A girl can dream. Why not. Sometimes it sure beats the hell out of reality.)

("This crazy redhead is on to something. Her pink Rambler story alone is worth the price of the book," writes 
- “Richard Sale’s reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.”--W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East Operations, DIA
"Anne C. Heller's stunning biography of Ayn Rand" uses a "plethora of newly unearthed research and fresh insight."
Actor Ron Silver died. I saw him on FOX a few months ago and didn’t realize it was him until the chyron with his name appeared at the bottom of the screen. He had no hair and his face was extremely gaunt. It didn’t take a lot of brain cells to figure out what was going on with him. Ironically that same day I watched an episode of West Wing and saw a very different person physically. Most people don’t remember that one of his first TV appearances was on Rhoda featured as her neighbor Gary Levy who owned a jeans store. He was highly intelligent and a very talented actor. It’s a loss regardless of your politics. RIP Mr. Silver.
I just read about that. The photo they showed didn’t look like him, at all! i had to google to make sure it was the same Ron Silver. Sad. :O(
I loved Ron Silver. (He was also President of Actors’ Equity.)
Add me to the Sheila Bair fan club.
Great post Susan!!
I see the AIG-bonus-scandal “has left the Obama administration scrambling to distance itself” in the NYT. So O’s mojo is down, AND this is the week he’s going to sell his budget. I predict heavy troll activity.
Whose line is it that the O didn’t inherit this mess, he bought it? Add it to “Wish I’d said it first” list.
Why did Obama changed his tune on the nation’s economic strength? Probably because the Chinese told him they would stop buying U.S. debt. And why would the Chinese do that? Because they figured out Obama is a liar.
Way to go Susan…you are “bringing heat” this morning!
We have been told repeatedly that we have used the last “tool” in the box.
Now, in a complete about face, the message is that we are headed toward recovery by year’s end.
Call me cynical, but I think Bernanke found a broom to sweep the mess under the rug!
First of all, it’s “Nanny” Pelosi, not Nancy. We adult Americans need someone to make decisions for us and Nanny has stepped up to the plate. Secondly, vis a vis raising the dollars to pay for Nanny’s plans, we could:
1. Nationalize all 401(k)s and transfer “excess balances” over $100k of all those who are further than five years away from retirement for redistribution to those who need the money now.
2. Tax 401(k)s
3. Tax employee healthcare benefits (for those who are employed) as straight current year income.
4. Raise income taxes on everyone who makes $50k a year or more and share this “wealth” with those who don’t care to work. People who have lost jobs within the past five years would not be eligible for a share of the wealth.
5. Tax all welfare benefits, including the above new share the wealth benefit.
6. Tax all capital gains at the 100% level.
The above measures should just about achieve the society that Nanny and President Obama envision, not that Obama has anything to say about it. His job is to shut up, smile, behave and sign what Nanny and Jim tell him to sign.
bo is gonna be on Leno.any one watching.i,m not..
He is already starting his fund raising for 2012. Seriously.
Does anyone have any money left to contribute?
That’s REALLY funny.
Anyone know anything about the easy google profit kit? I saw a lot of advertisements around it. I also discovered a site that is supposedly a review of the program, but the whole thing seems kind of sketchy to me. However, the price is low so I’m going to go forward and try it out, unless any of you have experience with this system first hand?
In Any Case, if you’re interested I found the review here:easy google profits review
Anyone heard of the “Dazzle Smile” teeth whitening system? I saw an advertisement for it, but I’m not quite certain if I should get the free trial or not. There seems to be a mountain of advertisements/review sites about this merchandise. Here’s an example: Dazzle Smile Review
Anyone have go through personally with this product? I just need to make sure it’s legit before I buy it. Gives Thanks in advance!
