Why did it take "repeated" questions, Bill. Perhaps because somebody doesn't want to take a stand? Or maybe he's looking for a way to lie and get away with it?

They can not take what you already own, so if you don't have what you want you need to go get it ASAP

They are arming themselves, and practicing their Second Amendment Right, before it is taken away.

Bill you have to agree that there are some scary ideas being floated around. I don't think I have ever seen so many people nervous about a incoming president. Have you?

He Steven... Guess where Rahm Emanuel, Obama's new Chief of Staff, was during the book-cooking scandal at Freddie Mac???

Emanuel held a seat on the quasi-governmental Freddie Mac board, which paid him $231,655 in director’s fees in 2001 and $31,060 in 2000. During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandals involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities.

I'm sure it was just one of a number of "coincidental" relationships that we should just sluff off...

It's going to be a blast watching the "mainstream" media over the next few years... Other than Chris Mathews (you Libs should be VERY proud of that one... ), they are already starting to question and say the same things we, and Bill O'Rielly, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingram, Savage, etc., have been saying for months...

I guess Libs a just a little slower to catch on...

YUP... Change is definately happening in Washington... Change... Yup... Change... Hope and Change... Well... we DO have a fresh new face at President... I guess that counts... That's ONE!

Well, crazy ideas float around all the time. Keep in mind that the GOP was all hot to privatize our social security system. You know, give it over to the rat ba$tards that just bankrupted Wall Street.

And yes, I do recall when the OTHER half of the country was scared out of their minds about an incoming President. Dubya was not welcomed with open arms and sadly he has proven to not have been up to the task. I am optimistic that Obama is. Let's hope that you guys are wrong and that I am right on this one.

Give me a break. Read the testimony. It is CRYSTAL clear that this was a person floating her pet idea. It in no way means that there was "consideration" being given. Congress hears all kinds of crazy testimony, but I have to wonder why it seems that the right is so quick to latch onto things that they can use to keep the fires stoked about being "worried" about the Democrats.

Honestly, I cannot believe that most Republicans are that stupid, but the leadership and the right wing press sure acts like you are.

Oh well. We've got 4 years for the new guy to show us what he can do. And then if he blows it, we vote a new guy in (or a new woman). That is the beauty of our system.

The change we really need will never be done with the current system, no matter which guy got in. We need more accountability for these government and white collar ceo's. We need campaign reform. Why should one person have more campaign money then the other? We also need to handle the illegal alien problem. Thats never been addressed by either side to my liking. Things will remain the same or unfortunately for all of us get worse.

Obama did a very smart(dishonest thing in my opinion). He gauged the country and split them into classes. His $250k number was used to make sure that he had spoken to the majority of the country. The majority of the country is making less than $250k per year. Than he told that group that they would be getting a free lunch under his watch. Now they are all waiting for it.

Bill judging by some of the boats you own you are doing well for yourself. I commend you and your hard work. How much are you willing to give back in 2009 and on? Thats an easy figure for me persoannly to come up with really. For example. How much did you give to charity in 2008? If you gave 2k to charity last year and in 2009 your taxes raise by $2k, will you give the same amount to charity in 2009? I know I can't afford to do both! That means one thing. The government will get more money to decide what THEY want to do with it and the causes/people we all feel for in our hearts will get less. Sad!

You obviously have NO idea what it takes to be invited to testify before a Congressional committee...
