   You are the two that comment best on this site. I come for stats and usually read comments but I seldom comment. It is obvious that some people comment under several different names!
   It’s laughable.
   Doug Z gives very good stats also.
   Greg Gutfeld commented on The Five today saying “many people will not admitt they are anti Obama for fear of being deemed racist” I think he’s got something there!

   Steve,
   The package is not the 5 networks only package but it has very few cable channels. No MTV, VH1, SyFY, Bravo, USA, TNT, TBS, Fx. Not sure why the HD channels are included. It is in Boston where nothing is cheap.

   Thanks. I wish it was like that around here, on basic its just the digital, all HD is extra. I dropped Insight (Now Time Warner) and went back to DirectV. No regrets DTV is awesome, and even better with my Free NFL Sunday Ticket.

   So the Prez. should not meet with leader of Israel? Why not, I don’t think that means Obama has to support his plans for war. This is from a guy that said he would have tea with that nut from Iran in 2008 but he won’t even talk to an allie. Sometimes I just don’t get you lefties. Does your guy ever make a mistake.

   Fox and Friends will be issuing a retraction tomorrow after reporting that the unemployment doubled during the Obama administration according to Mediaite.

   The problem came about because “Fox & Friends” comparison of “real”* unemployment rates — shorthand for a more comprehensive measurement than the traditionally cited official unemployment rate—is off the mark. The change from 2009 to 2012, it notes, isn’t 7.8% to 14.7%, as indicated in the on-air graphic and host Steve Doocy. It is 14.2% to 14.7%.

   I am not sure if this is wishful Republican thinking, multiple human error, deliberate deception, or ignorance, or some combination of all 4. Fox and Friends has had these sort of problems before.

   It would seem that with Airforce 1 at his disposal the President could easy fly up to see the PM of Israel and/or have the PM flown down. This is two strong personalities that do not care for one another personally or professionally. All the more reason to make time to meet.

   Your guy is ahead and may win but there are less people working today then four years ago. People are dropping out of the work force at an alarming rate. The rate is only went down to 8.1 because people have given up. We may get four more years of this. My only hope is Pelosi comes back into power to help Obama put the final death nails into the American dream. We may as well go down the tubes with one large flush.

   I like reversal comparisons. How would it look if President Obama asked Netanyahu for a meeting or come to Isreal and Netanyahu said sorry, I have a chess match?

   You do not turn down a sitting PM of a country long held as a trusted friend and ally.

    I don’t think trying to strongarm the President into a meeting just before an election(using the election as political capital) and on 9-11 of all days is the way to go about having a meeting. If he wants to talk after Nov 6, I am sure Obama’s calender is open then.

    I would be equally annoyed if any other leader in the world tried to use the election to his advantage to force the President into a meeting.

    By the way speaking of foreign policy

    http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021318613
    —————————
    Here is what Romney’s campaign thinks about Foreign Policy

    According to Mitt Romney foreign policy advisor Robert O’Brien, when President Obama’s campaign raises foreign policy, they’re just bringing up a “shiny object” to serve as “another distraction” from the important issues in the campaign.
    —————————-
    So foreign Policy is not important?

    I am guessing the Romney campaign is trying to hide the fact that 17 of the 24 Foreign Policy people they have are Bush holdovers and in general if they said how they really felt about foreign policy it would turn off more people then help, so while I honestly don’t believe they think Foreign Policy is not important, I do think they (like many other issues) want to ignore it and hope people don’t notice.

    I always said I am not a fan of how the Democrats handle foreign policy at times but the Republicans(mainly the neocon wing) are just so bad it’s a less of 2 evils thing for me. More then any other issue this is the one that scares me away from Republicans. All that being said I would love to hear Romney’s true feelings on Foreign Policy

    What the heck is happening? How in the heck is MSNBC beating Fox News in the Demo for 9PM, 10PM, and 11PM?
    I must be in the Twilight Zone.

    I think MSNBC is getting it’s pre-election bump which will quickly disappear on Nov 7th
