Click here for the show at 7pm pacific or anytime afterward for the archive. The call in number is 877-653-8381. Tonight’s hot potato: How the game is played. Anita Finlay, author of Dirty Words on Clean Skin and John Smart dig into President Obama’s Inauguration Speech and what it bodes for the next four years. We also look at the media’s continuing bias — will it be a helpful or destructive force to Obama and us going forward.
A wonderful companion piece to the show is HERE.
Thanks to both for a most interesting discussion..I thought the Inaug. Speech sounded like it had been written by a committee made up of heads of O’s main voting blocs..If there was a unifying theme, I missed it.
Since most of us don’t necessarily self identify with a particular bloc, the vast numbers of people were ignored. However, everyone has to eat and most of us like living indoors so why create divisions ? Our commonality by far outweighs our differences, I think he knows this, but that fact does not serve his interests. If he were to acknowledge our interdependence, he might have to talk about the elephant in the room, the economy,and direction of our country, which affects us all… I don’t expect much clarity on this in the State of the Union speech either, we shall see.
John, to your point about him dropping the mask and coming out as a social reformer, once a community organizer, always a community organizer. It’s truly all he knows how to do.
As they will be the next four years. Gays couldn’t find enough exclamation marks for their excitement at being mentioned in O’s Inauguration speech, but I promise you that’s all they’ll get.
I know Zal, he reminds me of visitors to my local animal shelter. They make kissy faces at the inhabitants, pet a few noses, and leave feeling oh so good about themselves.
They never see the sadness they leave behind.
Boy oh boy if I ever have to face a “grilling” from the Senate, I hope it’s like the Valentine Hillary’s getting this morning about Benghazi.
As much as I admire Hillary, she has a disturbing tendency to look and act as if she is speaking forthrightly, when she isn’t.. Some find a certain comfort in that. I still want to know what happened to all the survivors of Benghazi, they seem to have evaporated.
“she has a disturbing tendency to look and act as if she is speaking forthrightly, when she isn’t”
LOL.. she learned from Slick William, who is probably the best in the biz.
Barry and that Madame of his are grifters, in this for their own profit. In these years of corruption and lies exposed, I hope their turn will come. I’m also sick of the MSM adulation and rarely watch a news program.
When I’m home, I pretend I live at Downton Abby, considering my ethniticity, I would have lived in the downstairs part. I do enjoy my gas stove and electric refrigerator however. Other than that, I read books and wait for Sundays at nine pm..
Occasionally I ‘cheat’, watched a program on Cuba’s multi colored snails recently, fascinating….
This year Downton seems more soap than opera to me.
I think the only way they can make Tom more of an Irish stereotype is to dress him in a leprechaun outfit and have him refuse to eat anything but potatoes and Lucky Charms.
The DC still rules though.
I agree, it has always been a soap of sorts..Love the leprechaun outfit ! I enjoy the Duchess, and Daisy, though. Aside from them, I mostly watch for the gorgeous clothes and room settings, although Matthews’ mother is growing on me.
