Doug Z, is being out of cheetos a good enough excuse to miss the meeting?
These polls from Pew and PPP using realistic voter samples make me nervous. It is all a setup to switch back to a wildly Democrat sample after the Biden or next Obama debate and make it look like “Obama is back!”
DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE. THESE POLLS ARE A TROJAN HORSE.
DB
I am not attending for my dog ate my home work
BY THE WAY….. I watched the debates with 6 black housewives who all love Obama….after the debate they all looked at eachother and decided it was better for their teenage kids to vote for Romney!! I bought them all a nice bottle of wine>>>>

DB
I read you post and watched the special. I would have liked to hear what EPA had to say. They make themselves look bad by not replying.
Doug Z, my Mom says I can’t come, I have to do her laundry!!
Sp, love your reasons for firing tingles but if he goes because he is a great big weenie then Ed, Al and Lawrence will be gone too.
Someone mentioned Lawrence may leave after the election–don’t know about that but he is still steamed that he got booted out of the 8 o’clock spot in favor of Ed Shultz. Can you imagine coming in second to Eddie in anything?? Very embarrassing !!!

Spoken like a good political candidate.You should coach Paul Ryan
DB
No one is leaving. this is MSNBC and they will never change.
SP, I think they may have looked worse if they had replied. BTW, Lisa Jackson is the least knowledgeable and experienced Administrator in its history. They have come a long way from Ruckelshaus, Train, Levy and many other distinguished Administrators. I do not include the avowed socialist Carol Browner in that list.
I should make it clear if it isn’t already that EPA has done and is continuing to do much good for the American people. It is doing more harm than ever before in its history because it has become so political. I am sure Jeffie and suiko will want to comment on this statement drawing their vast experience with the workings of EPA.
The biggest event in a very long time is the murder in Libya. What’s worse than lying to the American people? Lying in a confidential briefing to Congress. How much of the Libyan debacle is in these polls?
Doug Z, you are correct, nobody is going anywhere. Maybe though they can replace the peacock with a great big weenie as their logo!!!
DB a Demo, Lib, is what it is
Libs, why
At the same time Team Obama released a childish ad hitting Mitt Romney for daring to consider removing multimillionaire, one-percenter Big Bird from the federal government welfare rolls, the Romney campaign released a devastating graphic that shows that since his debate debacle, Barack Obama has mention Big Bird and Elmo 13 times but has not mentioned Libya or his plan to fix the economy even once.
Obama’s big yellow chickens are still comin’ home to roost! And roast!
@DB
Whoever said I disagreed with those subject matters that you bring up? Oh that’s right, NO ONE!! You do realize that a story can have some truth to it WHILE being unfair and biased right? Like the fact only one person from the opposite side of the table was interviewed (probably because of being afraid to be taken out of context, or the fact that the whole point of the report was to slam Obama and the EPA so why go on a special report when Fox News’ objective was already clear) and the fact that the description by Fox News themselves of the special report being “Does Obama have radical “green” roots? Bret Baier travels across America, revealing rogue regulators, tracing the truth about the president’s environmental agenda and exposing programs that could devastate our economy!”
Bias, lying and not telling the truth is not the same. Go back to sleep and learn what the word bias means because you clearly do not know the meaning of such a simple word. WORK TIME for me. AS DB has said I must make those OBAMA signs!!!!
Doug Z, this hearing tomorrow could be a real game changer if the media gives it the attention it deserves.
@DougZ
but has not mentioned Libya or his plan to fix the economy even once.
Because he has no plan, plain and simple.
I always thought of Obama as a cast member in the Wizard of OZ…….Barry as the Wizard, George Sorass as the idiot behind the curtain pulling the strings, Joe (Bozo) Biden as the scarecrow with no brain, Pelosi as the wicked witch, Harry Reid as one of the flying monkeys, etc.
What a cast……….would be funny if it wasn’t so true.
Doug Z:: Ryan will hang Bidens middleclass devastation remark around his neck the whole debate…When Ryan is finished with crazy uncle joe, thems will put him back in the attic…
