Joe Biden Gay Marriage Reaction: Frustration As Officials Walk Back VP's Same-Sex Marriage Comments

I'm confused. What is President Obama supposed to say? His personal beliefs may be on par with equality but federal legislation would be shot down before the committees had their first coffee. The article above stipulates on one hand that Obama walked back his comments, and on the other per Axelrod he believes in equality for all. Which one is it? Has anyone took notice of Congress lately? They are a joke. All of them, both teams, etc. Obama isn't crazy he refuses to engage in a conversation that most of Congress have shut down long ago. I'm not saying that his silence is helpful but his cheer leading would lead no where. I am for equal rights for everyone, as are most reasonable minded people. However, those are not the people we elect to legislate and they are the very ones in silence who condone discrimination. Perhaps the activists should focus less on what Obama is doing and more on what their senators, congressman and elected officials are.

Federal Student Loan Legislation Turns To Partisan Fight

At this point cant we agree that both teams are simply posturing for their constituents and the media? No one gives two figs about tuition rate increases, particularly since colleges and universities from coast to coast continue to raise tuition costs without the slightest promise of a job afterward. Even if the interest rates were to double under the current rates, the typical American still can't afford an education in our wonderful institutions of higher learning and if they can they spend 20 years attempting to pay it back. If our Congress were truly concerned, it would be regarding the for profit model of education our country thrives on.

Trayvon Martin Case: Judge Rejects Bail Hike For George Zimmerman

Something tells me that no matter the outcome of this court case, neither side is going to be happy. This is an awfully tragic case, that no persecution could ever fix. A child is dead, a man feels justified in his actions......Horrible for everyone.

Trayvon Martin Case: Armed Neo-Nazis Patrolling Sanford

Some one needs to go back to work. If you have nothing to do but patrol upper class neighborhoods in defense of the "white race" your "to do" list is lacking. In case people forgot we may have a black president but this country has been "for whites". Not a racial statement more of a factual one based on the history of this country. I hate fanatics of any kind white, black, yellow or the other but since a black child was killed, no one has been arrested what race (if any) really needs protection?

Arizona Medical Marijuana Law: Gov. Jan Brewer Signs Measure To Ban Medical Marijuana On College Campuses

Go Brewer and the Feds! Because attempting to ban drugs in this country has ALWAYS been successful and there has been a clear link between college students using marijuana and wasting millions of dollars in federal funds. Alcohol on college campuses? Oh thats not a problem. Last time I checked the biggest spender of American dollars are the "straight and narrow" Congress and Administration who are not subjected to any laws apparently...

GAO Obamacare Report: National Debt Would Skyrocket If Plan Not Implemented

When will news report the REALITY of the health care situation in this country? For the millions of Americans without health insurance entering an ER is a super inflated bill to the average tax payer. No medical facility in this country legally turns away anyone and guess where that excessive cost goes? Not to mention those that actually pay for insurance and find out that their insurance company has the right to let them suffer and die due to "pre-existing" conditions. Like it or hate it, ObamaCare is the best case solution to a screwed up situation in which profit margins determine the value of Americans health and lives. If the Supreme Court seems fit to deem the legislation unconstitutional I can only hope it goes into its coffers to offset the ever rising costs of unregulated, for-profit health care.

Martin Sheen Has Harsh Words For Progressives Critical Of Obama

Go Martin Sheen! Despite the 2008 Obama cheerleaders turned Obama haters, most people can agree that the President can only do so much. An "obstructionist" Congress was just one major hurdle Obama had to face not to mention a screwed up economy, multiple wars and world conflicts and hatred spewing from both sides of the aisle. I'd say all in all Obama did the best he could given the crappy hand he was dealt. You want a superhero? Go watch a movie.
