CNN VIDEO: John King explained why Obama is having problems passing health care
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009Hello Everyone:
John King of CNN, while filling in as the guest host of Anderson Cooper 360 last night, did an excellent job in my opinion of using his “magic wall” to explain why Obama is having problems passing the health care reform legislation that he wants. Here is the CNN video to watch John King explaining this (his explanation starts right at the beginning of this video and goes to about 8:45 into the video):

Opinion & Anlysis: Why I think Levi Johnston is the main reason why Palin quit
Monday, July 20th, 2009Hello Everyone:
I do not think anybody outside of Sarah Palin, her family, and her inner circle of advisors really know for certain why she quit which is why I put the word “opinion” in the title of this post on purpose!
While this post is my opinion, it is a fact that Levi Johnston had a very strong hold over Sarah Palin’s political career as long as she was either in office or if she ran for any office (either running for reelection as Governor of Alaska in 2010 or for President in 2012).
VIDEO: Joe Sestak made it official that he is challenging Specter in a primary!
Friday, July 10th, 2009Hello Everyone:
I was absolutely thrilled to see last night on 'The Ed Show' that Rep. Joe Sestak is definitely going to challenge Sen. Arlen Specter for his Senate seat in the 2010 Pennsylvania Democratic primary:
Michael Ware: “America cannot win the war in Afghanistan with bombs and bullets”
Friday, July 10th, 2009Hello Everyone:
What I really like about Michael Ware of CNN when he reports on foreign policy issues is that he is objective, credible, insightful, very blunt, and he gets right to the point. While this is a subjective opinion on my part and while certainly no journalist is infallible, I can definitely say that I have never known Michael Ware to make an unsound judgment call in all of the years that I have been watching his reports!
Howard Kurtz called Michael Jackson coverage “out of control & an embarrassment”
Friday, July 3rd, 2009Hello Everyone:
After about a week of so much Michael Jackson media coverage, I was absolutely thrilled to see media critic Howard Kurtz say to guest host Kitty Pilgrim on a CNN Lou Dobbs panel that “the coverage is out of control, and it’s becoming an embarrassment to the news business:”

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Hello Everyone:

Michael Ware: Iraqis are not ready yet & our troops will not be coming home soon
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009Hello Everyone:
Michael Ware of CNN in my opinion is the most objective, credible, insightful, and realistic journalist in the business when it comes to reporting about Iraq and foreign policy so I take what he says very seriously!
Michael Ware has been doing a lot of reporting about Iraq over the past few days on CNN but it has been in bits and pieces throughout the day so you pretty much have to look up his interviews on the CNN transcripts page for each day if you want to read them all. Here is the link where you can look them up:
