    Republican or Democrat its all nonsense. All these people do is spend their time patting themselves on the back and taking care of donors.

    I really feel no one works in Washington.

    What a bunch of nonsene. They all love to have a great time on our tab. Whether Bush sitting in a Texas ranch picking up tumbleweeds (depite being a Conneticut Blue Blood) or Obama taking months off to play golf.

    Its always a party while someone else is paying for it.

    You really believe the President of the United States doesn't work and just spends all his time at a ranch (Bush) or playing golf (Obama)?

    He had to think of 50 recipients to mark the 50th anniversary of JFK's death. He probably thought of 4 or 5 people who actually deserved a medal, and then just had the pack the rest of the roster. Then, the biggest names were the ones to get listed by the journalists.

    Oprah has devolved into a race baiter. She was just over in Europe claiming that Obama was getting criticized because he is black.

    Please.

    Successful black people eliminate racism?

    Re-read your ridiculous comment here and then tell us again how racism doesn't exist.

    We have a half black president (elected twice) and the world's most prosperous black population. Yet Oprah still cries about how America's so racist.

    Despite being only 13% of the population, 39% of the people in jail or prison are black, 33% of black males will go to jail in their lifetimes, and there are 100,000 more black men in prison than in college.

    Racism in this country is FAR from dead.

    You have not established the racism link with your assertion.

    I love owning you time and time again.

    You have never and will never be able to "own" me in any way, but it is HILARIOUS that you actually think you do.

    Thanks for the laugh.
