I had to see what this was about because the title sounded so incendiary.

There is a LOT of valid thought here. Very scary.

People should hear this. I wish it was titled differently.

I agree graciegirl. I suppose they need a catchy title to attract the surfer. It is very scary.

The people who want to hear it have access to this kind of information 24/7. The supporters of Frank & Co. (and there's a lot of folk in the "& Co.") turn a blind eye to blatant cronyism and political larceny, because they can't believe their heroes could be two-faced

all should watch and listen carefully with an open mind. Political bias? Forget it because that allows justifying anything....legal or not!

The video is one good example of the increasing franchising of the Washington good ol' boy network at it's best.

And be mindful the same situation exists with each and every company that bail out money has been delivered upon.

Of course information like this will never hit the main stream media. And we the sheeple will march merrily to the tune of the pied pipers in Washington.

The 2010 election can't get here soon enough....assuming that isn't bought out or changed.

What is it going to take to get the masses attention?

Yoda..I agree. I would love to have someone who voted for Obama post their true feelings right here on TOTV. Are they embarrassed? A person with real character can change their minds when all the facts are in to dispute their former convictions. I would have respected Obama alot more if he admitted that the Surge worked in Iraq.

The Congresswoman did a gooid job in her "special orders" speech. If you listened closely, in about the middle of her spech she rails on the appointment of 20 czars for various purposes. She complains that the czars completely bypass the Congress in the execution of their governance.

I hate to say it, but the Congress has been so ineffective in the last decade or more that maybe they ought to be bypassed. No, no, I'm not supporting the idea that our Constitution should be trashed and our democratic form of government replaced with something else. But I will admit that in moments of anger or disgust over actions or inactions by our Congress, I've said that maybe a benevolent dictatorship might serve the people better than totally self-serving elected members of Congress .

So now we've actually got a benevolent dictator who maybe has figured out how to circumvent the Congress. Maybe the organization that is promoted at the end of the YouTube video suggests the real solution to the problem of an ineffective Congress and a dictator whose motives are being questioned. The URL of the website tells it all. Maybe we should visit the website after we watch the Congresswoman's complaints. Go to...

Is this what you voted for? Yes, to a degree it is. In large measure the President is attempting to deliver on all his campaign promises. Too quickly, I believe, but we'd be hard-pressed to say there are a lot of surprises in his general governance and the legislation he's put forward so far.

Is this what you wanted? I've said before that one almost never gets all that he wants in electing any official. That's true with President Obama so far. I like some of the things he's accomplished and I hate others. In spite of a lot of criticism of his administration's response to the financial crisis, it's beginning to look like the economy will turn positive in not too long. That wouldn't have happened with a "do nothing" strategy. I like the improvement in our relations with other sovereign nations as the result of a more outgoing foreign policy. I like his continued support of the Iraq policy set down by President Bush late in his second term--withdraw from combat by June 30, 2009 and get out altogether by 2011. I like the action being taken to improve healthcare for 50 million uninsured Americans. I hate the idea that little has been done to return government spending to a level that produces a balanced budget. But I also recognize that with income tax rates at a historic low, that the deficit problem can be fixed with a tax increase that wouldn't put the U.S. anywhere even close to it's historic high tax rates. I wouldn't like tax increases, but maybe that's the only solution. Tax increases don't have to be permanent and they seldom have been since income taxes were authorized by Congress. There's room to balance the budget and reduce the national debt with increased taxes that certainly don't have to be permanent.

Is this what you expected? No. The administration is moving far too quickly on too many issues for me to be comfortable that all that is being done legislatively is well thought-out. It certainly appears that concern over the financial impact of administration decisions is geting no attention whatsoever. Nothing has been done to curb the influence of lobbyists and I fear that much of what's being done still serves the purposes of special interests moreso than regular citizens.

Do you think it is right? No, not totally. But there's a lot more "right" going on than the profligate spending and hidden ideological agendas sponsored by the prior administration.

Be honest? What will you do now? It is very likely that I will not vote for a second term for President Obama. But it will be more the result of my newfound political policy to never vote for an incumbent than my dislike of any particular legislation or decision made by this administration. My 2012 presidential vote will reflect on who the GOP runs, as well as their campaign issues. A candidate that leans too far to the ideological right and who campaigns using primarily negative tactics will make my vote a more difficult decision. Nor will I vote for any of my representatives in the House or Senate. Other than Mel Martinez, who's retiring, the rest of them have all been in Congress long enough. It's time for someone new. My choices will be driven by my own desires for strict fiscal conservatism and moderate social liberalism.

So there you go. Now, before anyone chooses to attack me for my answers, I'd like to see their answers to the questions. Hopefully, they will be thoughtfully presented.

Thank you for your honesty
