Oct 9th 2008 - SEN. BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENTIAL Elect: A lot of you remember the tragedy of 9/11 and where you were on that day. And President Bush did some smart things at the outset, but one of the opportunities that was missed was, when he spoke to the American people, he said, "Go out and shop." I have a feeling Obama will take back that Bush said "Go out and shop."
God forbid anything bad happens to this man or his family because of race, i will never claim to be an american ever again. i will no longer see america as a free country, but instead a nation with arrogant racist whom will put us in danger because of our enemies and even some allies who will see america as a nation of hipocrites.
Brokaw. Tax gas so Americans can never fill tanks for a buck fifty ever again. What a complete elitist prick! I can't believe he said that!! Hey, why dont we just give the gov total control on the price of everything we buy. What a complete idiot!!!
@afi0931 Oh and you think Bush was a hero when he was running the show? He DIVDED this country NOT Obama. Bush started the wars and gave us the PA which you know clearly violated the 4th Amendment. I'm telling YOU it was a bad year to be a Republican.
I was hoping for change but it is business as usual. Shovel the money, after printing worthless money by the fed, to private companies. They should be allowed to fail or go the Japan and learn how to run an auto co. These guys have produced the worse made cars,gas gusslers that are over priced. The worker have dictated salary and have run the company into the ground, I say let them go. The CEOs are useless. If they can be competitive great if not they should fail.
It isn't just the government, or the big 3 or the financial institutions...it is American greed and American's demand for entitlement that has brought us to this point. Face it...we Americans feel like we are better than other countries, that we know it all, and are entitled to anything we want, no matter how wasteful or damaging. It's been a long time since we've pulled together as a country to solve the issues facing us. This is simply what Obama is asking everyone to do-including the big .
The Messiah: "We need to find a way to put them through bankruptcy while keeping the factory doors open"
My question to all you liberals that buy into this guy's smooth talk: How many of the airlines shut down while they were going through Chapter 11 and restructuring? Why is it that the airlines were able to do it yet the automakers can't?
Hey Barack, When are you going to take a lesson from Bill Clinton and learn to tell the truth? You didn't quit smoking if you're still smoking!
w/ all of obama's vast business experience, he knows what it takes to run a successful business. as far as the execs at the top who are part of the problem, how about the head of the uaw?
seriously? when have you ever heard tom brokaw make any kind of strong liberal remark? if this were obama on countdown or hardball, that comment would make sense. a journalist can't reach tom brokaw's status with any kind of bias. besides, he would never have been able to host a debate if he was an 'arrogant liberal'. just because he's on nbc doesn't mean he's super liberal.
I'm sorry....but journalists ARE biased. Most lean left. while Katie Couric was on the Today Show she made a comment supporting this...that most journalists are liberal. When Obama won, Charlie Gibson's studio could be heard cheering when Obama's win was announced. Peggy Noonan (a speech writer for Reagan) commented that when one of the past GOP candidates won (not sure if it was Reagan, Bush sr. or Jr.)..that you could hear a pin drop in the news area....people were so upset. It IS biased.
@ChurchillTea That just tells you Bush divided this country so much that anyone liberal had a damn good shot. 2006 and 2008 was a very bad year to be a Republican. 2012 might be as well now with Bill Clinton out with a new book.
totally agree with you; Tom Brokaw is one of today's only top tier journalists/interviewers/anchor men/reporters. i love this guy. Peter Jennings was good, too. and i like Ted Koppel, as well.
@HowDaddyIsDoing Ted has been hired back by NBC News for Brian Williams' new show Rock Center. So he will be back on your TV soon and Tom Brokaw just released a new book not long ago called The Time Of Our Lives.
