absolutely unbelievable; if I were her I would sue the holy hell out of these tyrants in this administration.
Pretty much the rule of any job with a big corporation is not to talk to the media about anything. At my job that is something people learn within the first week of employment. I did hear part of the interview on the Radio so I am not aware if Hannity announced from the get go that he was on a radio show. Plus if she signed any sort of at will employment letter, I dont see how she could sue.

It certainly is the nadir during my life, especially with spy gate now being a big issue in Europe. The few left [statist]-leaning friends I still have pretty much stopped posting on Facebook.

Whatever happened to the Anointed One, the Great Messiah, and the man who was so revered worldwide that he earned a Nobel Peace Prize simply because of his supposed magnificence?

This administration is not just a national embarrassment, the world should be ashamed of itself.

I think they are getting there...one of the few true believers I know (he's German, and a friend so I won't bust his chops too much) last posted a FB message about a month ago supporting Obamacare. I'm not sure why Germans are so interested in the US or why 200,000 showed up for a political rally at Brandenberg gate (which is frightening to me, unless it is a soccer match 200,000 Germans are scary) but he has completely helped himself to a bunch of STFU flakes after Merkel expressed her views about the NSA situation.

^^^^Interesting take on the Europeans. We had some friends visit from the Czech Republic recently, and they are genuinely concerned about 'what's happened' to the United States. When Communism failed and the Russian occupation ended, they embraced westernization fully and the United States was seen as a model and bulwark of the freedom they hoped to live. Soon after thet got their independence, they split from the eastern part of the country (The slovaks) the poorer part of the couintry that wanted to retain a more socialist society. They battle constantly, the socialist elements that still remain. It's funny and somewhat ironic, that while some people here push for the European model, the people over there are going "WTF? you don't want to be like us!"

A lot of it is due to media coverage. In the US most of us are smart enough to realize that MSNBC is left-leaning and Foxnews is right-leaning. In Europe coverage of the USA is extremely left-leaning. My wife had a work dinner a few weeks ago where someone told her that the American tea party was "far right" as in European Nazi party far right. My first trip to the UK (embarrassingly last year before we moved here) a woman at a graduation event noticed my accent and started yelling at me that our Republican congress was racist - and embarrassed herself in front of her daughter.

I've been to Prague before and had a taxi driver rant that he missed the Communist regime because everyone had "jobs." Apparently back in the 80's his job was to not work. I also have a French "friend" that knows more about the USA than everyone posting here combined - yet has never visited because he's against our government.

Euros are weird.

LOL, not even close.

Fox and CNN make mistakes, but for the most part what they report, and their opinion pieces, are accurate...the bias is in the stories they choose to focus on (Fox with a Dem POTUS favor negative stories, CNN the opposite).

And for that matter, MSNBC is almost all garbage opinion. For most of the day, CNN and FOX report straight-up news.

All the media studies done over the years actually find MSNBC and FNC pretty balanced during the actual news reporting blocks. (Not the opinion shows) Both were found to have considerably less lefty bias than CNN and the networks.

"Dem Party is f****d"

http://www.nationaljournal.com/white-house/obama-takes-friendly-fire-20131028
The Democratic consultant said none of this is news to him, but he wonders why Obama wasn't honest with Americans. He predicted surprise and outrage over higher costs and lesser coverage. "We will own this problem forever," the Democrat wrote.
In his story, reporter Chad Terhune also quoted a letter sent to a California insurance company executive. "I was all for Obamacare," wrote a young woman complaining about a 50 percent rate hike related to the health care law, "until I found out I was paying for it."


Oh...the irony of Pelosi's need "to pass it so we can find out what's in it" is just too rich.

Over 1.5 million policy cancellations thus far.

Millions more with policies changed, for the worse.


Change we can believe in ...

So Romney was conducting a war on women, eh?

Wonder if the woman at the end of this video thinks it's "the other guy" waging war - http://nation.foxnews.com/2013/10/28/cbs-news-features-distraught-woman-paying-10-times-more-insurance-due-obamacare

Funny how CBS is catching on that there are people now getting kicked off their plans and costs skyrocketing. It's been forecast since the day it was rammed up our asses, and yet...they are now just figuring it out. Their pail of water they've been carrying must have finally gotten too heavy to carry for Barry.

Oh yeah...if the uninformed voter had informed themselves and seen the forthcoming train wreck, we'd not be having this discussion...but there'd be an all out assault on women!! HAHAHAHAHahahahaa.....suckers.

obama knew millions could not keep their plans.

Can we impeach the lying mofo already ?!?!?!
But that's a "liberal" source, surely you can't take it at face value.

Oh wait, it helps your argument so it's obviously completely different

Pure gold. That's always the case.

Things like this destroy the liberal agenda. People do not support the liberal agenda when they have to pay for it. And if they don't, we cannot maintain that level of spending.

Hopefully this starts waking up the idiots to the differences between liberal fantasy and economic reality.
