[wphillips1918]

Did you guys see that Thursday night game. Buffalo and the jets. Horrible. Unwatchable. The NFL network needs to get their shit together. This is not a quality product. I'm just saying.

[ager74]

[ager74]

Analog to Digital conversion is such a serious issue right now...

[bernie1111]

This guy has to find a new way to start these videos, its the same thing every day about his endeavoring pursuit to bring in guests.

If the Fed is transparent, it will lose a lot of its ability to make monetary corrections without being second-guessed by investors, politicians and whomever else has a vested interest. The Fed is guilty of nothing, and needs to be allowed to continue its regulatory and monetary policy functions without close monitoring.

[GoLuckyOops]

Please support The Federal Reserve Transparency Act! Our Congressmen have the right and responsibility to Audit the Federal Reserve. They should have come clean with the American Taxpayers a long time ago. We need transparency.

[GoLuckyOops]

The federal reserve has hired lobbyists (ie. Linda Robertson, who also lobbied for Enron) in their self interest to prevent government accountability, to keep the status quo. Please help to support HR 1207! The FED does not consist of elected officials. Our own congressmen have the right and responsibility to know!

[pongman]

I feel bad for those homes that don't have communication especially during an emergency. I need to get a portable for when the next hurricane hits Florida.

[NookulerFreedom]

I haven't supported your timelines since the election.

After all you are the President, not me.

But you have picked many wrong ones thus far.

And if you don't correct them soon, you are finished.

But if you can, you will lead the world into the future.

But make no mistake, you are losing right now.

And the quality of your character will be judged very, VERY soon.

Don't forget it.

[IrisMG]

They pull the switch at midnight!

[seadog1988]

bye bye freeTV the lobbyist got there wish for every body to pay for tv instead of getting it for free

[gaines9000]

[myWORLDizDIGITAL]

Gibbs !

[masal12]

It is disgusting how you value the American lives more than others.

[jim30333]

Did you just say this country needs to be impeached?! WTF does that mean?

On another note, support universal healthcare.

[FluxCapacitor2008]

We need a box to check on their income tax form to buy into a non profit system based on a percentage of income welfare income included (the less you make the less you pay) and this money can only be used for health care for people that check the box and pay into the system. (for health care only not pork) If someone pays in to the system and doesnt use it they should get a percentage of the money back in the form of a tax refund this should cut down on the sore toe doctor calls.

[MrPolysyllabic]

Too bad they never did that with car insurance, gov't mandates it, you pay it to drive. If you never get into an accident in your whole life, do you ever get anything for your money? Now think of economic disaster and the inflation bubble thats growing above us now, economic stimulus, etc.. if they just gave money back to the suckers who've paid their car insurance and never used it, thats money in an American pocket not a multinational insurance giant thats rigged to fail and asks for bailouts.

[DrunKao]

I really do love your idea. Kudos.

[FluxCapacitor2008]

We need a public option in some form maybe we can cut out some of the wasteful spending like wars and pork and invest in America. WTF government tax revenue is over 3 trillion dollars a year. We can pay for a war machine that is 3X bigger then the rest of the world combined but we cant cover health care.

[FluxCapacitor2008]

Lets not get distracted from one of the number one problems and why Obama was voted into office by a land slide, HEALTH CARE. The private for profit insurance system has to (like every other industry) have competition. Health insurance costs are one of the problems we have with job out sourcing. The burden of health insurance cost is put on the workers and employers.

[waltermh111]

Most people picked up being accused of terrorism are not on battle field nor have any strong evidence against them.

Yes, they deserve due process.

We have people in america plotting to harm many people and we still read them their rights and give them due process

[underbird]

that's because they are Americans

[waltermh111]

but they are also terrorists.

Why are american terrorists less feared than foriegn terrorists.

If we believe non-americans arent human or deserving of justice, I fear our power even more.

Luckily I am not alone in thinking such a way of thinking is dangerous

[underbird]

I didn't say they were less dangerous. My point was only Americans are subject to the laws of this nation.

Our options are limited when it comes to foreign nations. We don't want another USS Cole where the planners are freed by a sympathetic government. We certainly don't want to let a bomber free because a 19 year old Marine forgot to read a card in Farsi before capturing a guy.

We have the right to defend this nation.

[waltermh111]

thats really stretching it, and now really how easy it is to get off the hook. That may affect certain bit of evidence, but not such things as eye witness, evidence left behind, amongst other things.

Generally miranda rights deal with what evidence a person may give directly, but i doubt many killers directly give evidence to anybody such as testimony. Even thats probably limited. I mean, they cant see the person plant the bomb then let him off because he wasnt read his miranda rights

[weseyedwalk]

The redcoats called Americans terrorists during the birth of this nation, and according to the Taliban all Americans are terrorists. Also much of the world considers all Americans as terrorists. hmmm... ? It's all perspective, who are the real terrorists even here in America, I would say, those that fight for freedom are patriots and those who fight to destroy America and take away freedom are terrorist. I fear the our government is like a terrorist now!! Not the military but Government!!

[Armigerous]

"Stinky Pussy" Dunham's bastard alien pickaninny needs to be executed.

[fabiomr2]

nice tie Gibbs

[bernie1111]

FOX news dude needs to give it a goddamn rest once in a while.

[IrisMG]

I wish I could have asked Secretary Locke about whether the coupons will end up having to be reported as income once they are used. I got suspicious of this after I had ordered mine last year, and so I let it expire unused. It just seemed to me they wanted too much information for something that shouldn't have had to come in the mail.

[IrisMG]

People are going to procrastinate no matter what you do. And I don't like that "left in the dark" statement. What'll happen is the TV they have will still turn on, but there will be no picture on it unless they hook it up to a DVD player or XBox and play movies and games on it, because it'll be nothing but a monitor after the 12th.

So, it'll still work, just not as intended. So, just pay the $50 and hook the converter box to your DVD player, then hook the DVD player to the TV, then you're set.

[Osteomorphis]

I like how Gary Lock speaks to the camera as a message to America about the digital switch. I was thinking to myself, "No one is watching this who doesn't know about the switch." ....

[pinkcutiexox135]

cool
