The Obama camp has targeted MCCain.  McCain has not used racism at all.  It is the Dems who are crying race.

Good Evening Mr.Holt,Well,It looks promising that the broadcast will not be pre-empted by any sporting event according to the schedule which is great news. I hope there was some progress made on the meeting between President Bush and the G-7 on the economy. There must be something that can be done to bring some resolution to this crisis and I hope it comes soon.
Too many personal attacks are being made in this Presidential Campaign and it is terrible because it diverts attention from the necessary issues of our nation and world. I really am looking forward to the end of this campaign.
Looking forward to the broadcast Mr.Holt! Peace to You and to All!

Lots of Love to Laurel,Jackie,Stephanie,Claudia,Celine,Anna and Matt!
Be Well Always!
Stay Safe and Well Richard! I hope to see you on Nightly News soon!
XOXO

Where are the reports on Ayers?

Dear Lester,

I really wish all the sniping amongst the candidates and their surrogates would end.  From the economy to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are much more important things going on, and they should be the focus of discussion - not Bill Ayers, or the Keating 5, or even Troopergate.  Nearly 4,200 of our brave men and women have been killed serving in Iraq.  Iraqi Christians are being terrorized and murdered by Muslim extremists in Mosul.  The Taliban is resurging in Afghanistan.  The economy is tanking.  Why are we talking about all this frivolous campaign rhetoric?  Do people really still believe Barack Obama is an Arab?  Or a Muslim?  And so what if he was?  Who cares?  We need to resolve the problems of this country, not spew divisive hate speech.  This is why people hate politicians.

To Jackie:  I left you a message on Thursday's blog.  (It finally posted.)  Also, I got an e-mail invite to the Clinton/Biden/Clinton rally in Scranton, PA tomorrow, but I have to work.  I really wish I could go.  But, C-SPAN is carrying it live, so I'll be recording it to watch later.  I hope you enjoyed Hollywood.  I want to hear all about it!

To Norman:  I really appreciated your most recent post regarding GSK.  It was an eye opener.

Lots of love to the regular posters:  Lisa, Jackie, Stephanie, Celine, Claudia, Anna, and Matt.  XOXO

Lester - Can you believe the depths that some of the campaigners have fallen to??  Perhaps election reform is needed - apparently many of those making racist remarks are looking for a forum in which to do so. Do we really need to curtail speech in this country?  I hope not, but I cringe at some of the hateful words.

McCain's recent campaign of hate is also akin to the 1930s Germany where many where encouraged to be scared (because of the economy and xenophobia).

I fully respect the office of the presidency.  I have long lost trust in THIS president.  He can come before the American people as often as he likes, but nothing he says will sway me one way or the other.  I don't believe his administration can fix anything these days, so his assurances fall on my deaf ears.  I'd rather be hearing from McCain & Obama about how THEY will fix things.  

Is it my imagination, or has the final weeks of this campaign much more vicious than in previous campaigns?  

GM & Chrysler merging sounds like a fairy tale.  Say it ain't so!

Happy weekend everyone!  Sorry I've been not-so-visible of late; taking care of personal stuff!

Mr. Holt,
I am picking up on racial hatred on both sides,
not with me personally, but with others.  I
have not heard white trash or the N word
for many years, and it's offensive to both
races, demeaning and demoralizing.

Riveting reporting, as always, and I was
thrilled Nightly News was not interrupted
again this Saturday evening by Whacky Sports.

I was disappointed after listening to advice for those who's 401K savings have been decimated by the recent Wall Street crash.  Good advice for those still young enough to be working. But rather paternalistic advice (shop more carefully) for the elderly who saved for retirement, already live on limited funds and are watching their limited savings evaporate. Please! Those over age 65 are scared too! Perhaps you could provide a more insightful recommendation for the many Americans who are now retired.  

Let's hear more of the reports on MSNBC regarding Sara Palin's connections with the sessionist group, AIP or Alaskan Independence Party.  Her husband, Todd, was a member.  These folks openly brag about getting Sara Palin elected governer by "infiltrating under the Republican banner".

They openly declare their hatred of the USA.

Good Evening Mr.Holt, Yeah! We had a Saturday broadcast not pre-empted! Woo! Hoo! A fine broadcast this evening Mr.Holt. First of all the Presidential Campaign and the reports by Kelly O'Donnell and Lee Cowan both show how much attacking has been going on between these campaigns and the tone needs to be changed. In Kelly O'Donell's report about the McCain campaign it was good that McCain toned down the statements of the supporters because it does tend to cross a line when certain statements are made by people. One can fully understand the frustration of voters, but sometimes things can go too far. I think McCain did a very good thing by contradicting the negative comments. In Lee Cowan's report Obama stated he appreciated what McCain said and that they can disagree with eachother and still be respectful.
There has been far too much negative statements and they both need to focus on issues.
The report by Mr.Corke concerning President Bush meeting with members of the G-7 about this economic crisis was certainly needed and uniting to solve this economy is crucial. Shoring up the banking system is vitally necessary to helping in the global economy.
On good thing is this price of a barrel of oil is down to 80.00 and the price at the pump is alittle lower although it is still higher than it should be.
Finally, the report by Anne Thompson about the google earth program showing the rainforest and how it can be saved was very informative. By seeing the views of thec rainforest from the air over the internet it can be very helpful in finding ways to help keep it from deteriorating. Technology has come along way in helping people better educate themselves on all types of subjects. I hope this program can preserve and protect the rainforest region. Thank you for the broadcast Mr.Holt! See you on Sunday! Peace to You and to All!

Lots of Love to Laurel,Jackie,Stephanie,Claudia,Celine,Anna and Matt!
Be Well Always!
Stay Safe and Well Richard! Hope to see you on Nightly News Soon!

Shawn Hannidy said the year 2008 is the year news-reporters and the news media died and I could not agree more. Tonight you spoke for almost 5 minutes about Palin and her unethical way of getting rid of her x brother in law who had been accused of violence to the entire family. While this unworthy reporting was going on, Acorn is in numerous big cities giving folks money and cigs. to sign up numerous times to vote. This is a liberal left organization that Obama has donated money too and worked with. You did not mention one word about that situation and what this could do to the voting rights of American's. The Acorn story is of much more interest then personal family problems with Palin. Also, you had to run that piece about John Lewis comparing McCain to Wallace back in the 60's. It seems that if a person refuses to vote for Obama, they are racist and the fact he ran around with domestic terrorists, listened for 20 years a guy saying whites invented the Aids virus might be the real reason people are a little hesitant to have this guy in the White House.

John McCain:

I believe YOU are the guy to run this country. I believe the Obama Trauma and his VP nominee, Mr. Gaffe, will run our country right into socialism. Obama is not to be trusted in any way, shape or form.
You are too nice in this political forum. Where's your fire? Don't just hand this intimidating, manipulating student of Reverend Wright's irrational and radical beliefs the presidency.

I respect your opinion that we should be respectful of the office of president but I have absolutely NO RESPECT for Obama and his past, present and future misadventures in the land of the free .... at least free for now. Obama is thin-skinned and his VP sidekick is a one man side show full of blunders and misinformation.

Wake up, John. Palin has gone through hell and back for you. Don't let her and your supporters down NOW, with less than 4 weeks to the election.

Hi Lester:

Good to final see your report this weekend!

I just wanted to mention a new movie coming out on Lifetime on 10/18/08 at 9 PM.  I am going to have to say check your local listing because all of us live in different time zones.

The movie is Living Proof based on a book by NBC's Robert Bazell -- HER-2: The Making of Herceptin, a Revolutionary Treatment for Breast Cancer. It stars Harry Connick Jr and was filmed in NOLA.

Ladies, don't forget your self breast exams and mammograms in October.   In my area the hospitals are doing digital mammograms for $10 this month and are taking late appointments until 9 PM.

Take Charge of your health!

Bests to All and congratulations to Robert Bazell!

Lester things are getting out of hand and the candidates should stick to the issues that the Americans want to hear. I hope no one gets hurt as the hate and racism speeches continue. I guess when your losing some will do anything.

Interesting report about Sarah Palin's troopergate. It's seem Mrs. Palin has been up set for a long time about her brother-in-Law. An email was found from 2005 when she was Mayor. With the young man who got Sarah's personal email only to find out Sarah has been doing Govenment business on it, now Sarah has violtated the Hatch Act. A lease if Americans do pick the McCain/Palin ticket in the election we'll see history in the making. Yes both McCain/Palin have been charged with ethic violations and the RNC might want to look for a replacement of them. I just remember VP Spiro Agnew resigned for his criminal acts.

I'm glad the World Leaders didn't follow the White House as this bailout plan is another scam by the White House. Now Bush wants seniors to work longer and he wants to freeze any equity that homeowners have even if they have good credit. Former Controller David Walker has said for many years that the spending by the White House would be our National Debt to 53 Trillion dollars by the time Bush/Cheney left office.  I guess he was right along we just didn't listen.

Oh Lester I hope none of the NBC employees are insulted or attacked while covering the McCain/Palin campaign. I read about a camera man who is black and was insulted as a McCain/Palin supporters called him racial names. I hope our country is better then that.

Best to Lisa, Laural, Stephanie, Claudia, Celine, Anna and Matt

Laurel I got the information you gave and thanks you so much I love you guys you really keep me informed. I see think about Barbara's home cooking and yes we will make plans to stop there on my next vacation. I went to a fund raiser Hillary set up and this time it was a few Actors who ran it. It was fun and you know me I'm still a member of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Suits. smile

Anna I thank you for the reminder but my Doctor treats me like his Mother so I get calls from him about appoints and even just to say hello. I'm very lucky.

The underlying probem comes from creation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913.  ALL of the country's money supply is created by debt that carries interest.  Every dollar thrown at the problem has interest on it and must eventually be paid back.  

To understand the issue, make a simple graph of $1 borrowed in 1913 at 6% interest, compounded yearly through 2008.  You will see that the original dollar has about $380 of interest in 2008 and jumps to several hundred more in the next year.  This "usury" or interest growth has become non-sustainable, approaching 100 years of compounding.  It's uncanny how the simple graph matches our national total debt.  Borrowing more is not the answer to a very serious structural monetary problem.

Read a book called "The Truth in Money" to get a handle on it.  This problem is not new, but the fix would stop growth of the sector living off of our interest through complicated financial schemes, thus may be unpopular until a total collapse is upon us.  

I am very discusted with your biased coverage of this election!  Why don't you discuss Obama's connections with not one but several horrible people---Wright, a racist, Farracon, a Black Panther, Rezco, a criminal on his way to prison, Ayers who bombed the Pentagon with no regrets and Obama didn't know any of this during his nine years association with him? Wow a clueless guy for president, can't wait!And now, ACORN, an organization he is affiliated with doing fraudulent  voting practices in swing states - and pressuring students in college to not vote in their homestate and vote for Obama in that swing state--horrible! You do a disservice to Americans for being such a corporate puppet representing a socialistic society. Don't you have any desire left to at least investigate the allogations?  aaaamy family and friends can no longer watch such a do nothing slanted station and will move to FOX News for coverage.

Please check out Philip J Berg vs Obama:

He is ordered to produce his birth certificate by OCT. 15th!!!!!

America's right: Freedom of Information Act 5 U.S.C. § 552

McCain knows, if he tells the truth or asks for the truth from  or about Obama, he loses because for some reason the media refuses to tell or want the American people to know the truth about their man Obama. And anyone who does is the bad guy? Except when Obama makes up lies about McCain. What they don't seem to realize is, this is the perfect opportunity for all three of them to finally compete again with FOX news in ratings, strange they have choosen to continue to plummet in ratings and financially lose it all for one man?

Come on MSNBC, what are you afraid of? Where are the reports on Ayers?  Come on MSNBC, what are you afraid of? Where’s the facts about Farrakhan and Obama? Come on MSNBC, what are you afraid of?  And why are these called "attacks?" It's called, lets know who we're making the most powerful; man in the world! Not wanting the facts, is simply ignorance. Come on MSNBC, what are you afraid of? And why is it racism to ask why ANY candidate has so many terrorists on their side?  Come on MSNBC, what are you afraid of? Amazing how people say they want to know about the issues, and then waste these forums talking cooking? Come on MSNBC, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid you might actually get ahead of FOX NEWS?

Hi Brian,

 Some of the Republican supporters on this blog leave me quite astonished. They haven't taken the time or the energy to read quite unbiasedly. Their comments on Ayers (unsubstantiated) supporting Palin (an America-hating organization supporter and an unethical woman) and even trashing someone like Biden (who is quite frankly much more knowledgeable than Sarah Palin). But they found it quite easy to ignore the numerous reports about McCain's own associations, his quite obvious disrespect for a worthy and much more intelligent opponent. Then they accuse Obama supporters of being "leftists", liberals and so on.
I am not sure what they will do when their man loses. It is going to take them a long time to reconcile to that loss, however justified it may be. I hope God helps them understand.

Why can't someone in the news or media, news that everyone can see, bring obamacrimes.com to light instead of just sitting on it so feelings don't get hurt over these issues.  Berg vs Obama on his qualifications to become President.  Is the media so job scared to they refuse stand up to Senator Obama.  When these questions were first raised about senator Mccain he jumped at the chance to show his qualifications, but Obama and the DNC with lawyers did not respond to the motion to produce document which the plantiff in the case Berg vs Obama trying to get the senator to produce document of his qualification.  Please stand up to the politians bring this out.

Obama has legally admitted he is NOT A NATURAL-BORN CITIZEN!!!!!! He is not legally eligible to run for president.  The federal judge did not put a stay on the order to produce proof of his citizenship.  After the thirty days were over, those served admit guilt if they do not comply...that's the law and Sen Obama should know that. He's a lawyer, after all.  I guess he's banking on none of the networks reporting on the case....go figure, they're not!   How can we elect someone to take the oath to uphold and defend the constitution when he's trampled all over it to get there!

Why have all the networks, except for Fox News, been afraid to cover the lawsuit filed by the former Attorney General of PA (who is a life long Democrat) challeging Obama's right to be President due to not being a citizen of the United States?  This is a huge story and it is in federal court and the Obama people and the DNC have not been able to show a legal birth certificate validating his status.  Are all the networks in the tank for Obama so much that they are flipping off the Constitution just to get a Socialist in office?
