Politicians have done a lot...they just decided that we didn't need trials to put americans in prison any more.

The president just decides like in any other totalitarian state.

Why does Shieffer seem to think blowing up this system is a bad thing? oh ya he works for the bastards. Ron Paul pwned you Shieffer!

Bob Schieffer, the Democrats and Republicans are destroying the two party's credibility because they are owned by the same corporate donors and military industrial complex. If one would just make it to the top without selling us out and actually end the wars, corporate welfare, and restore our civil liberties by obeying the Constitution, perhaps it would fair well for that person's party. This is why the Republican party is lucky to have Ron Paul. He makes them look better than they deserve.

This guy is great! I listened to a few of his reports lately and he tells it like it is! This political system needs an overhall, most definitely!

PS - as usual the talking head idiot libtard makes vague accusations and tells us all it's the end of the world, once again. As far as taking personal responsibility for being a complete failure as a "repeater" instead of a reporter ? Forget it. The reason why "it's a mess" is staring this piece of crap in the face, when he looks in the mirror. Anyway, it's the END OF THE FUCKING WORLD AGAIN.

THANKS YOU GOD DAMNED MORONIC FOOL FOR THE 100TH FAILED PREDICTION, YOU GOD DAMNED LIAR BOB.

Gee Bob, you moron, they've done more "for us" with endless trillions and healthcare promises and part D and all the other shovel ready jobs and the rest than ever before. Sadly, you have a problem with gridlock, as if they have a thousand more "programs" they needed to implement and failed to, to "do more for us". I guess when JFK said to do somethig for your country, pieces of crap like you already decided everything needs to be the opposite - well give them your MILLIONS so they can, IDIOT.

Hey Schieffer; You do want your retirement pension don't you? Then STICK TO THE SCRIPT!

[SusieQ962]

@rollsthepaul Yes, it needs "Reclaiming"...

@spoyzer So tell me Ol Wise One, what's truth? Millions of Americans lost their jobs due to Wall st. deceitful greed OR lazy teachers, officers & firefighters earning too much money? Taxes haven't been this low for the wealthy in over 50yrs OR households at or below the poverty level (that owns a refrigerator) aren't really THAT poor? Treasury funds are lacking due to our paycheck-2-paycheck tax dodgers OR our American billion dollar corporations that bleeds tax refunds from the government?

[spoyzer]

@ochairball Actually Schieffer is right, The Obama administration hasn't been governing, they have been dictating and the government hasn't really done anything for us as much as they have done things to us. You are also correct that Schieffer neglects the contribution of the media in destroying our Republic and Constitution.

@cmosdriver I don't believe the current crop of Democratic leadership could ever be accused of telling the truth. However it is to be expected, even the Devil tried to convince mankind he didn't exist, but not all of mankind is so gullible.
