Dear Lester,

Isn't today the anniversary of JFK's assassination?  I hadn't even been born, yet, when that happened, but what a truly awful time in our nation's history.  

Did any of the regular posters see Richard Engel on Rachel Maddow's show last night?  (I know Lisa did.)  You can find a clip of his appearance on Rachel's website.  They discuss our role in Iraq for the next three years, should the Iraqi parliament pass the withdrawal agreement.  It was nice to hear a lengthy discussion on the topic.

To Jackie:  If you attend Darth Vader's federal trial, you'll have to live blog from outside the courtroom!  Keep us updated!  That would be fantastic.

Good night all, and a Happy Thanksgiving next week to Lisa, Jackie, Stephanie, Celine, Claudia, Anna, and Matt.  XOXO  

Nice peace on the Grand Rapids MI, and the Auto Companines woes.  I wish you would do more stories about how the financial sector was bailed out but the middle class is going to be left high and dry... I don't care what everybody says, everyone is going to feel a hit if one of the big 3 take a hit.  This is  a global wide epidemic and everyone in every state will feel this hit.  If 1-3 million people lose their jobs because of the fallout, everyone in that community including the taxpayer will feel that hit.  There will be less money paying for governement programs and senators and congressmen wages.  Heaven for bid any of our goverment officials take a pay cut.  I am not a union slappy even though my parents and  grandparents made a living from them.  They need new leadership in the big 3 and all the car companies need to find new energies to lessen the depency of the middle east.  I think it was a joke watching the panel embarress the CEO's of the big 3.  The ripple down effect of the big 3 would paralyze the US and this would effect everyone.  Please think of all of us and who voted you into office.  If you do nothing all of your goverment pay will become usless because I know I won't vote for you and the rest of the middle class will laugh in your face.  Think about the what really runs the nation and think about us.

Good Evening Mr.Holt, Glad to see an abbreviated version of Nightly News this evening. Always a fine broadcast as usual. First of all the report by Mr.Tibbles concerning President-Elect Obama's economic plan and the putting together of people to come up with ideas to help in this crisis will be a really huge job for them. There are so many things needing to be addessed and the sooner the people are established for the commitee the better. All the problems of housing,unemployment, stabilizing banks and the struggling retail industry have to be top priorities for the next administration. I hope there is somwhat positive news in the near future. Anything would be good.
Technology has come a long way relating to the report by Savannah Guthrie and the how President-Elect Obama is using the internet to address the nation. Seeing all the footage of past Presidents and how they spoke to the nation it is incredible how information can be communicated in this age. A new way of governing for the nation and the world.
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! Great to see you on the Rachel Maddow Show! Very Interesting! You were AWESOME AS ALWAYS! And Handsome!
XOXO

Laurel it could come true as I do believe it will happen. Now as for live blogging that might be tricky. With all the information coming out I have to spend alot of my vacation time at the Bush Administration UN trial. I will give an honest report of names and actions I promise.

Lester I watched Obama on the web with his plan and I must admit he is one smart young man. As most giving advice only want him to fail, he just keeps looking forward and doing what he said he would do.
It's so funny to hear the comments about how Hillary wouldn't make a great Secretary of State. Connie Rice's only qualifications were she speaks Russian, plays the piano, takes messages for Cheney to World Leaders and is a friend of the Bush Family. We see how well that appointment worked out. Hillary is a great Leader but she's always a great followers, which makes a great leader.  Obama is picking the best people for the job as he has seen the success of the US Economy from 1992-2000 when the US had a surplus. The world is watching Obama pick his team and are impressed. I think we will be very surprised at how fast the recovery is done.

I talked to a friend who is a retired Doctor about the fake excuse given for Attorney General Michael Mukasey's illness. Now it truely wasn't a fainting spell but they could have given a better excuse then that. Any viewer can ask their doctor for what really happen. I hope Mr. Mukasey gets the medical attention he surely needs now. The body always let us know when something is seriously wrong. Bill Clinton got that warning and had surgery and lived.

With the announcement of the US Treasury Secretary investor know a person who knows Economics will be in charge. Right now we have a man who is just an appointed CEO as his experience and is looking confused and is over his head in the position poor Hank Paulson should have stayed at Goldman Sachs where the little people make him look good.

I'm still following the Texas indictment case of Gonzo and Cheney. This will soon have to come to the main Media as there's to much proof to stop it from going to trial. I know must Media are hands off any thing that deals with the criminal acts of the White House but this case will be big.  

See you at 5:30 pm

Good show Lester
I saw a movie of Kennedy today that gave alot of his history and the assassination. It's strange to remember what I saw live on TV. The truth wont be told until all those involved are dead. Our President was assassinated by US/Cuban terrorist. Most don't realize it was a time of great turmol and hate. Kennedy was a President who carried the freedom of millions of Americans on his back. Thousand of black/white Americans gave their lives for all the have freedom. A few are Viola Liuzzo, Chaney/Goodman/Swartz and Medgar Evers with alot more. All are able to see their fruits of their effects and what they gave their lives to forfull. What's interesting is American History is taught all over the World while some Americans don't know this history.

Have a safe and great weekend all

Best to my friends Lisa, Laurel, Stephanie, Claudia, Celine, Anna and Matt

Lester, I know you will get this message although it is to Brian.  As I am shy and although I am on live, it is a topic important.  I was disturbed because I could feel you but could not be with you.  it was very difficult and driving me crazy.  The message is to not be 'with self' to substitute but when a desire that is created above our heads is on us, with no help, then the body is God's design and He does not want us misrible, so get relief. ( but do not, unless u are sure, put me in the picture) it is important for you, Brian, so I write this but don't know if it has to go anywhere else. God wants to get in the middle, for what, not sure. 10:00PM I lay down and can talk to you.  tesa  it is 2 AM

Hi Lester;
I see the bailout as a very bad thing too do. Theses Ceo's that got in this mess should have too get out of it on there own. It's not up too our grand kids to pay for thier misstakes. Thier is no way you can buy your way out of bankrupcy. You have too work your way out.
