Hey Lester,

this isn't directed at you, so nobody needs to get all high and mighty.

ok, really, is it that big of a deal for Pres. Obama to have basketball games with the guys and forget to invite the girls? Not only did Savannah feel the need to ask him on behalf of all the women in the world, as if there weren't more important things to wonder about concerning women, but Nightly News producers felt the need to show that part of the interview again. And now that everybody's found out that the Pres. is playing golf with a particular woman other than his wife, oh my! You guys had better jump on that!
It's bad enough that Pres. Obama and his administration has to watch out for the crap Fox is slinging all the time, and why they would care, I don't know. They're not real news. Between Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edtition, Fox, I really don't think NBC Nightly News has to jump on that same band wagon. Where in the hell has all your good help gone? What are the editors getting paid for? It's a shame...

Go Yankees!! Lookin' good, Jeter!! By the time this gets posted, the World Series will be here. Keep going, Yankees!!

Bye Lester

Hi Lester
It would be nice if the Law Makers would join in with the President in educating their loyal citizens more about H1N1 as the President can't do it all by himself.

Question why so much talk about Obama's basketball game without woman when no one questioned either President Bush or President Clinton on their sport activies which didn't include woman. As President Obama has been watched and judged for every second he's been in office with polls each day we show nothing done by the Media for the 8 years crime wave done by Bush and Cheney.  Just think if as much attention was given to the Bush Administration we would not be in this Recession. Thank goodness President Obama isn't taking all the vacations Bush took when he started in office. I guess different strokes for different folks. It's good to see President Obama knows he works for the American people and doesn't think he's a DECIDER and if your not with him your against him as Bush felt.

Many people have an idea of what really happen on the plane and most likely you will never get what really happen.

Good to see how America is proud of it's criminals. Cheney who committed War Crimes and Treason got his award.  Convicted Felen Scooter Libby got his award for his treason as the crowd cheered. It seems like Crime and Greed are the new heros in the United States. Maybe Republicans will give a Nobal War Prize to President Bush for a job well done.

It was sad to hear Texas Judge Justice passed away. Now the Civil Rights Bill passed in 1964 and it took Texas with the court order of Judge Justice in 1972 to actually follow that law. Wow who know Law Makers in Texas disobeyed the US Law and it took a Judge to stand up and apply that law to the State. Looks like Gov. Perry is making sure he disobeys all of the US Laws. To think men are being killed but their innocent is truly sad as we can no longer attack Iran or any country with their policy. I know God welcomed Judge Justice home as he did a great job as an example of what we all should follow.

Time to see Eli Manning as I'm wearing my number 10 jersey. Go Giants!!!!

Good Evening Mr.Holt, Great to see you this evening for the fine broadcast. Always wonderful to see Richard on the broadcast!! PLEASE STAY EXTRA,EXTRA SAFE ALWAYS RICHARD!!! Now on to the broadcast. First of all Richard's report from Kabul with the Afghan Army and how this Afghan Army being able to handle security is crucial to the US troops succeeding in Afghanistan. Hearing the Afghan Commander state that 9 out of ten of the Afghan soldiers cannot read or write is disturbing with each soldier only getting paid $120.00 a month. The forces need much more equipment and five time more men with the police requiring more work too. It is very disturbing to see the police hand over weapons to the taliban which is being investigated. increasing numbers of Afghan soldiers will cost bilions of dollars and much effort. Hopefully, in the coming years the Afghan Army will be equipt enough to handle security in their region. Time is of the essence.

The report by Mr.Lewis on the deadliest suicide bombings in Baghdad was very tragic. Two suicide car bombs blasting in Baghdad with all the innocent civilians killed an hurt was terrible to see and awful for the region. As stated it was most likely the work of Sunni insurgents targeting an area outside the Green Zone and near Prime Minister Maliki's offices. Maliki did campaign for better security and this shows the insurgents will not give up and are still in the region. The US drawdown of troops could trigger a civil war within the country which is frightening to all the residents. A tumultuous region with the never ending hope by residents for someday being at peace.

On another note the report by Mr.Yang on the swine flue outbreak and the availibilty of the vaccine shows the government is asking for much patience by the public since the amount of doses of vaccine has not been enough for people. Seeing all the long lines of people waiting for vaccinations shows there is great concern to keep from getting the H1N1 virus especially for those who are most at risk.
Dr.Fauci from the Center for Infectious Diseases did state the vaccine is very effective and safe, but the public is still worrisome.
Hopefully, everyone will be able to stay healthy.

The piece by Mara Schiavocampo about the empty storefronts for lease being used by artists was very nice. Having the artists use the space for displaying their work and use as a studio has certainly drawn alot of attention. It is a great way for the artists to get noticed and show the space as well. It does lift spirits in these tough economic times.
Good Piece!

Thank You for the broadcast this evening Mr.Holt. Always wonderful to see you Richard! Fly Safe Mr.Holt! Safe Travels this evening Mr.Holt!!
Peace to You and to All!

Lots of Love to Laurel,Jackie,Stephanie,Claudia,Celine,Anna,Lori,Cary and Matt!
Be Well Always!
Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Always Richard! Excellent Reporting as Always!
XOXO

Lester,
So many important stories on your
broadcast Sunday night, and all the
news from the Middle East were over-
whelming, and it was hard to watch.
We live under the same blue sky as
been said and one can only hope there
will eventually be peace in this world.
The alternative is unthinkable.  Great
coverage and it seems I am not the only
one who thinks you are No. 1 in the
business. I was unable to get Online
last night because of no connection,
which is frustrating.  It happens
about three times/week.  Enough about
that.  Have a nice day!!!

I worked for Northwest Airlines and like the thousands of outher NWA employees here in MN. that lost there jobs at that airline when it went to Delta My question is when some thing bad happens then its  NWA when its good news its Delta May be it was Eastern or an old Pan Am aircraft  

Lester,
I just read that U.S. Offical resigns in
protest of Afganistan war.  He is quoted
as saying he's not some peace-nik pot-smoking
hippie who wants everyone to be in love.
The hippie is being off the stage now which
reminds me that Bill Clinton was booed
off the stage in Chicago about a year
before the presidential election.  As
that Tina Turner song goes, What's Love
Got To DO With It?"

Phyllis

Lester,
Of interest perhaps.  If not, toss it.
According to Dr. Marc Sagemen of the
Foreign Policy Institute in Philadelphia
we've won in Afganistan.  It was critical
after 9/11, that we went into Afganistan
to destroy the Terrorist Training Camp
--and we've done that.  There are no camps left
in Afganistan and all of t he t error plots
come out of Pakistan.  Dr. Sagemen has impeccable
credentials.  "The problem is Pakistan.  But
that's not where we are sending the troops.
We're sendig them to the nation nextdoor."
I pick up the info from a Blog.

Phyllis

Lester,
I was thinking of President Obama and the
decision he must make on Afganistan, and
I think Dr. Sagemen would agree with
Carl C. Jung in this quote:

"As any change must begin somewhere,
it is the single individual who will
experience it and carry it through.
The change must indeed begin with the
individual; it might be any one of us.
No one can afford to look round and to
wait  for somebody else to do what he
is loath to do.  The buck stops with the
president.

I am big on Jung.

Have a nice day!!!

Phyllis




Phyllis

Lester,
I tuned in to The Today Show this morning,
and I must say you pulled off the Susan
Boyle routine almost to perfection, but,
hey, I know a handsome man in disguise
when I see one.  Amy did good

Happy Halloween!
