DAY ONE
Here it comes:I am responding to your Monday comment concerning all people that voted for Obama is an idiot. It is obvious that you are the idiot since most of the country voted for Obama. He can't be any worst than the administration from the past eight years. You obviously don't keep up with current events. Bush admitted his wrongs and mistakes at his press conferences with the reporters (thats straight from the horses mouth, you idiot). Of course, I know you are really doing this for your paycheck. You are probably an Obama supporter (maybe even voted for him .how would we know), but controversy brings job security..lol..lol..lol (laugh out loud)
Dear Mitchbenj,
Besides the fact that I never said that, and your puerile name calling, what stands out most in your little rant is how you ignore the fact that, after every presidential election, there are tens of millions of people who did not vote for the victor. They may respect and wish the winner well, but they also reserve their opinions and values which are different from his. Are there going to be loyalty oaths? I haven't heard. Finally, congrats on repeating the old canard that the guy on the radio, with whom you disagree, must only be differing with you for ratings or profit. For your information, I've worked in radio for 25 years, playing music, announcing sports and conducting various talk shows. I didn't need Obama-bashing to make it in the first 25, and I won't need it now.
By the way, what I did say (that a lot of the vote for President Obama was born of ignorance) is constantly proven by every caller who cannot articulate one specific past accomplishment of the former Illinois politician or one specific policy objective of the new administration. When pressed, they will even sometimes attribute positions from the Bush years, or promises offered up by Sen. McCain, as Obama doctrine, reminding one of a game show contestant taking a wild guess before the buzzer. Like Diogenes with his lamp, I remain in search of the Obama voter who actually knows exactly what he is getting.

I have not heard anything from an Obama supporter that can articulate why they voted for him. I however did hear one Obama supporter refer to the Chief Justice as "that dude". So I guess the bar is set pretty low for them.
I know for sure Barack Obama has been involved in plenty of legislation as an Illinois State Senator and as US Senator. Jack I am sure you would not agree with almost any piece of legislation Barack Obama has sponsored. That doesn’t mean the legislation is bad just because you don’t agree with it. I voted for President Obama because he is intelligent and can formulate a sentence. I don't know if you noticed the last 8 years but we had a President who could do neither. If the best the GOP could come up with is John McCain then that is their fault.
There are several pieces of legislation that Obama sponsored and I agree with. He sponsored a bill in Illinois that required all confessions and interrogations to be videotaped by police. At first many folks were against it but it ended up passing overwhelmingly. It is simple to me why wouldn't police want to videotape a confession or interrogation? Maybe because some of them resort to verbal and physical abuse. He also sponsored legislation in Illinois for the state's first earned income tax credit for people who work. He also sponsored the toughest ethics reform bills in Illinois history. Of course these reform bills don't always solve the problem just ask John McCain.
As a United States Senator Obama again co-sponsored legislation on ethics reform. This bill requires lawmakers to disclose the names of lobbyists who "bundle" contributions for them. In fact I get a little pissed off at those who say he has no legislative experience. President Obama sponsored 135 bills as a US Senator and co-sponsored 659 bills. That doesn't appear to me to be the workings of a guy sitting on his butt.

Hello Jack,
Thanks for the show. How did you like Pelosi's green smock, or whatever it was. She was a total wreck. She distracted me from the speach. And the interaction with the VP was pathetic. What's with these 2 bozos. They were absolutely pitiful.
As for Governor Jindal; I could not tolerate his tone. He had good points, but the delivery was an absolute disaster.
Thanks,
Joe B.
