I'll take an empty suit full of hope over a dictator any day.

Hi salinagrrrl69 - I would doubt the interviews by Charlie Rose would qualify in anyone's book as 'left leaning' - he's a mainstream establishment journalist who has a 'job' to do - nothing more, nothing less. For opinion, tho, I would take exception to 'Halcyon083' comments below as I believe the citizens of the US are far more involved/complicated/concerned than you would have us believe based on your analysis - the 'Democratic Party' should represent everyone - it struggles to do that.

I agree with Bill Moyers, he is a bright man and is very optimistic that government can work when it needs to be there.

@Rasscoco I read he is a member of the UCC. Have you ever been in that church?

Republicans say "Obama's an elitist" and their party faithful repeat the phrase without a shred of questioning EVER. Weak minds like simple ideas.

Barack Obama, FYI, lives in Hyde Park, also the home of Milton Freidman, the GOD of Republican/conservative free market economic policy. How come the Republicans get to worship Milton Freidman and Freidman gets a pass on the "elitist" charge, but Obama gets saddled with it? Moron Republicans. All of them.

Bill Moyers is one of the great intellectuals that this land of the free, America, had produced. He is very intelligent and charismatic just like the plethora of great men that came before him, Tom Paine to cite among the few.

Nothing's wrong with them making more money. That's their purpose. We shouldn't feel obligated to pave the way for them, however. The government ought to protect the country, both militarily and economically.

[timbosforporn]

So what is wrong with them making more money?

[gummybrain]

That's partly true. The other part of the truth is that businesses will always hide behind the "government is overregulating!" argument to increase their profits by decreasing worker pay (often accomplished by moving jobs to countries with little or no minimum wage and fewer worker protections).

I do think there will be more hiring but, not in the area to serve the greater good of this country.

The govmt is a constantly demeaning the "working class" citizens by it's adding pressure on big Companies. Hence, (the govmt) they need to trouble shoot all over again just so they can keep their own jobs.

He, "didn't have time" to ask the rev about the government infecting blacks with aids. The interview was pandering. HE IS A CUPCAKE LIBERAL ...like you. The reality of LA LA Liberal Land. They love Barack...an empty suit full of 'hope'.
