Thought Newt climbed back under his rock.

Was expecting Morning Joe, but I missed this yesterday. Always good to see my Govenor!

Watching on podcast feed

Obama's attack on Bain is just so misguided...

Didn't really like the panel discussion today. Think seeing Carly Fiorinna on the panel when she took Hewlett-Packard down the tubes combined with too many memories of what she said/did during her unsuccessful Senate campaign in California .. made it tough to watch. Example: she disagreed with Colin Powell and defended Romney's assertion that RUSSIA is our big foreign enemy. Huh? So raise the bar on guests or at least question them if they go too far afield. ---- So, was relieved when that ended. Pleasant surprise at the end. Enjoyed both Maria Shriver & Michael Lewis re: content/meaning of commencement speeches.

I miss Tim Russert #MeetThePress

Starts right out with 2 guests .... Newt Gingrich, Rep, ("totally committed to Romney's re-election .. for a pull-away in Sept/Oct) and Gov Martin O'Malley, Dem, Maryland. --- Both are talking... more

Starts right out with 2 guests .... Newt Gingrich, Rep, ("totally committed to Romney's re-election .. for a pull-away in Sept/Oct) and Gov Martin O'Malley, Dem, Maryland. --- Both are talking about Obama vs Romney, esp re the economy. Newt is already lying on statistics! Oh dear.

Watched Press Pass w/@AshelyJudd...she was amazing!

Interesting weekly discussions for politicos

Decided to catch the debate this morning...

Lets see what lies the right wing cook up today.

Romney's record at Bain Capital is a legitimate target in the campaign, and it indicates that we could expect more of the same looking out only for the 1% if Romney were elected President. These... more

Romney's record at Bain Capital is a legitimate target in the campaign, and it indicates that we could expect more of the same looking out only for the 1% if Romney were elected President. These republicans that say Obama is "attacking capitalism" by pointing the aforementioned out is just another version of calling him a socialist. The rabid right hates Obama, don't let their rhetoric obfuscate their desperation.

Newt Gingrich just totes the party line. He really says nothing with truth or merit!

Carly Fiorini is kind of a wiener.

Martin O'Malley is looking super fine.

what goes better with #coffee on a sunday morning......NOTHING!

Really would be nice to see democrats and republicans agree on SOMETHING.

And Ryan's bemused, "I'm so above all this" smirk is just annoying...

Ryan promises more gridlock and wasted time, even if the Republicans lose in November. Thanks for nothing, Republicants.

Honestly fed up enough at this point to hope the gridlock never ends, if letting the scheduled cuts and tax hikes happen is the only way anything's ever going to get done.

Either way US is gonna fail but I rather have POTUS at the helm.

Paul Ryan talking sense about the budget situation...

Watching 1st 30 min late. -- Durbin reminding how a great group of senators want to balance the budget. Can the House listen. Probably not. #MTP

Read for a bit, catching a rebroadcast of Meet The Press, then a nap.

Just saw the "Robin Hood Tax" ad and I am a bit puzzled. How does this group think demonizing investment bankers is going to help? Forget that it is overly simplistic & laughable but it accomplishes nothing helpful. SMH.

This columnist from the WS Journal is totally off-base- claiming Pres Obama is against business?? He has proposed all sorts of incentives to help businesses! What planet is she living on? Romney as a "job creator"?? Tell that to the nearly 1000 people who lost their jobs at the plant he closed or those that he laughed at after their plant closed. She is totally out to lunch. Sheesh.

I love Jim Kramer's takedown of Romney as a job-cutting corporate raider @Bain Capital- classic & spot on!

hahah, pat said dick lugar!

I haven't missed Mike Murphy either. He's another Repugnent-can Tool who looks for any and every opportunity to denigrate the President and/or the "democrat party.". He's another one I'd like to... more

I haven't missed Mike Murphy either. He's another Repugnent-can Tool who looks for any and every opportunity to denigrate the President and/or the "democrat party.". He's another one I'd like to smack into the middle of next week.

Durbin: We are facing serious deficit; Pres Obama & Democrats want to assure we are strong coming out of recession; creating good jobs, growing businesses; focusing on working people, middle class Americans who've been falling behind on their income; making sure the programs we preserve as we cut spending are critical programs.
