What a moment! LOL. and Reich really WAS pathetic. What a tool. Susan, I heartily agree - when Krugman threw his hands up, I could feel his pain. What a moment! LOL. and Reich really WAS pathetic.

Except for Paul Krugman and G. Will, those f--ers owe thier whole careers to the Clintons! Who have ever heard of these people but for the Clintons?...I think that plays a part in all the back stabbing. The folks they help know this and can't bare it...so they strike back to prove they would have become prominent anyway. Well you are WRONG assholes. The Clintons give you a leg up and you sell out to thier enemies who would not spit on you otherwise. End of story look at that round table. Except for Paul Krugman and G.

I apologize for just slapping the video and her speech as well as her press release up ... it was really late, but I hoped you'd all be interested in that discussion. Sure enough. I love your comments. Yes, Reich was terribly disappointing. Could say more -- but just wanted to thank you all for your sharp comments. Earlier on that show, John Kerry said that Hillary's health plan would be D.O.A. in Congress. Can you believe it? I think we're getting that clip too. And the Obama people complain about OUR tactics?

Too bad McCain isn't going to take it--he should, because it will work for some voters in the GE. Will just handed McCain a talking point on the economy from a Republican stand point.

God, I was a huge supporter of Dean for his Presidential run and DNC chairmanship. Show you have the leadership to fix this mess, Dean. As far as the rest of the Democratic Party elected officials, get on board and stop the politics. If Michigan and Florida aren't counted, or the process is made void by the Super Delegates prematurely going in one direction, then I say fie on the Democrats. This is not the Party of my parents nor my Party. As I said, this is the litmus test - the voters must have their say or it is all illegitimate.

He was a big suckup to W. Edwards Deming like a stary-eyed little kid who didn't quite grasp the Man He Loved's concepts but sure acted like he did. I remember a series of videos where Deming is practically laughing at him. In the series, there is this cartoon Parrot with a kind of british accent that Reich talks to. What a troll this guy is. Never spent five minutes in corporate America and knew it all. Typical academic with his head up his butt. Obama attracts them because everything he says is abstract and for effect only. I spent a number of years in academia before I moved into the real world. This is an environment where everybody blows Theory out of every major orifice, but they have no sense of Practice whatsoever. Obama attracts them like flies. No surprise there. Look at his "experience" in the Real World. Nill. A "community organizer". Dime a dozen. All that tells me is what I already know about him. He can run rallies and get people screaming. But he can't actually DO anything. I've already written to Dean and told him I am leaving his party. They don't represent me any longer. The anger afoot is huge. I bet they can't keep up with their email. I am sure Dean will be doing something next year, but I will bet it won't be "leading" the Democratic Party. The free pass he continues to Give Obama is unconscienable and reminds me of when all the sick crap about Bush was ignored. But I think the last straw is allowing Obama to block a Florida and Michigan revote. These folks will NEVER forgive Obama and neither will I. Neither will most women who watched his sexist surrogates. Neither will Italian "Garlic Noses" This fraud will take his place next to George McGovern in the end.

Will proposes a simple idea that appeals to a lot of people - individual responsibility. Not one of the liberals on the panel made the point that Hillary makes in the highlighted portion at the end of her speech (above). They answer to Wills' assertion that people who have been responsible are not going to be pleased that others are getting bailed out it to say that they will be even less happy to find their own home price plummeting or their neighborhood going to ruin because of neighbors' foreclosures. Democrats do a TERRIBLE job of making these issues clear and puncturing the seemingly logical but ridiculous arguments of free market fundamentalists like George Will. (Krugman does a good job in his columns, but did not make the point on ABC.) You can be as responsible as is humanly possible but you cannot protect yourself from these kinds of meltdowns unless you are very wealthy. A bailout at this point helps all of us, not just those who were irresponsible. Reasonable regulation is the ONLY way to stop this kind of gambling on the part of fat cats which drags the entire economy down. So if we want to stop bailing out the wealthy everytime they get reckless, we need to go back to regulation. IT PROTECTS ALL OF US!!!!
