Good Evening Mr.Holt, I am sorry you lost some sleep watching the rain delayed World Series Game. Now you have to make up for lost time. Sigh! Always wonderful to know Richard will be on the broadcast. With the dropping out of Abdullah Abdullah from the run-off elections in Afghanistan this gives Hamid Karzai another several years in office. It will be interesting what President Obama decides on whether to send more US troops to the region. Hopefully, a decision will be made soon.
Looking forward to the broadcast Mr.Holt!
Looking forward to Richard's report.
Peace to You and to All!

Lots of Love to Laurel,Jackie,Stephanie,Claudia,Celine,Anna,Lori,Cary and Matt!
Be Well Always!
Cary-I know Richard is on Twitter! I am very excited and happy!
Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!
XOXO
   

Lester,

The gruesome story in Cleveland is
incredible in that the neighbors
suspected nothing  Six dead, and
nobody picked up on it.  Unbelievable.

The goverment will not pay the ransom
on the British couple kidnapped by the pirates
and that bothers me.  I really do not
what is done in such cases but I would
think the lives of the two involved
would take precedence.

This week is a milestone for President
Obama, a year ago winning the election
for president.

Have a nice evening.

Good Evening Mr.Holt, Another fine broadcast this evening! Always wonderful to see Richard on the broadcast! PLEASE STAY EXTRA,EXTRA SAFE AND WELL ALWAYS RICHARD! Now on to the broadcast. First of all Richard's report from Kabul concerning the dropping out of Abdullah Abdullah from the run-off election in Afghanistan. The packed house at Kabul University to hear Abdullah Abdullah speak about his dropping out of the race really showed how Abdullah Abdullah is dropping out to not risk another election which could cause much violence and be possibly flawed like the one held in August. It most likely could be pointless and Karzai would win anyway. The people of Afghanistan had no reaction as Richard stated and really want to move beyond the election and have some sort of government. This does have a huge impact on President Obama's decision to send more US troops to the region. Hopefully, the region can move on peacefully and someday the US troops can come home.
Excellent Reporting as Always Richard!
The report by Mr.Viqueira from the White House stated that President Obama has held meetings with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but will not make any decision before November 11th. Time will tell.

The report by Mr.Mott about the farmers having a difficult time harvesting crops showed that weather has been a crucial factor in the reason they have had trouble. The drought last year in Georgia had a huge effect on peanut farmers and now with all the rain this year there is a late harvest. All across the nation farmers are having problems which result in late harvests along with lost profits. Tough times for many farmers.
Hopefully, things will get better.

The piece by Mr.Taibbi about the winner of the New York City Marathon was inspirational. Being the first American to win the marathon since 1982 is wonderful. He has overcome many obstacles and realized his dream.
Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Holt. Always wonderful to see Richard! 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 Richard! Enjoyed all your reports on MSNBC and Today too!
Always Excellent Reporting!
XOXO

Hi Lester
I survived Halloween the the neighorhood kids. I was dressed as Eli Manning. I see Michelle Obama looked like Wendy Vitter and Barack look like John McCain Jr. I remember Sentor McCain always wore the Preppy College look. It was great to see the White House entertaining the kids as all looked like they had fun.

I heard Abdullah Abdullah wouldn't take part in the second fraud election. Can't blame him as no correction were done. Karzai had alot of help from the Taliban and Oil companies to keep his job. Now it looks like with no real Afghanistan President working for the interest of the people, President Obama will have to deal directly with the Taliban to end the conflict.

I'm a little depressed this Sunday as my Giants lost again. I just might have to take over the team.

Have a great weekend all Love to Laurel,Jackie,Stephanie,Claudia,Celine,Anna,Lori,Cary,Lisa and Matt

@ Lisa:   Can you give me Richard's twitter address?   I follow Ann Curry now and just love her wisdom and knowledge.

Peace.

Lester,
President Obama has been in office,
as everybody knows, for about nine
months, and according to one magazine,
leadership is a quality he showed
during the campaign, but a quality he
has failed to show as president.

Eugene Robinson says Obama's record
is impressive.  Thomas Sowell is
not impressed with the president.

There were false rumors about then-
President Bush that I knew were not
true because another name that came up
in conjunction with Bush once was with
GE when I was there and I knew it was
a lie to discredit him and his
presidency.

There are rumors about Obama which
I have no way of knowing which are
the truth or a lie, so I have decided
to read his book "The Audacity of Hope".
and hopefully this will give me insight
into him and will decide what I think
of him.

Have a nice day!
Phyllis

Lester,
If the Democrats win this off-year
election, they will call it
The Immaculate Election.
Phyllis

Lester,
Just one more thing:
AOL HEADLINE:  Hilliary's Bizzare Remarks
Ruin TRIP

From a Blog, It was billed as a "major
speech" following up President Obama's
speech last June in Cairo of a "new
beginning" with the Muslim world"

A speech that I thought was brilliant
and I have a copy of it.  

It seems to me that for the president to get
back his MoJO, "having Hillary Clinton engaged
in high level diplomacy is probably futile
over the long term." and he should send her
packing, in a manner of speaking, and not to
The Middle East.

Phyllis
her packing, in a manner of speaking and not to

Lester,
I thought it would be simpler to comment
on the Iran story on your Blog rather than
Brian's because of my previous email to
you on Hiliary Clinton, Secretary of State.

Anyway, according to Nader, an Iran
Affairs Analyst for RAND Corp., and I quote
"I think the long term crisis for the
government isn't over.  There is still
a sense that the Ahmadinejad government
is not legitimate." And repeating myself
adnaseum, "having Hilliary Clinton in
high level diplomacy is probably futile
over the long term."

Phyllis

Lester,
If this was an act of terrorism, and somebody
missed the boat, as my husband said, I'd
think the person would be Janet Napolitano
of Homeland Security.  All are in my prayers.

Phyllis

Lester,
Furher Homeland Chief warns of anti-Muslim
backlash, which is a concern, of course,
but this woman seems more concerned about
the Muslims than the casulities in the
Texas tragedy.  As far as I am concerned,
she was not doing her job as Homeland
Security Chief. Last week she was in
Europe for meetings with political leaders
and security officials.  A lot of good
that did us.  Somebody missed something
and it was Janet Napolitano.
Phyllis

Lester,
According to one soldier in Fort Hood
who attended the Memorial said the mood
at Fort Hood  was turning from sadness
to anger.  "Somebody should have been
paying attention."  he said. I agree, totally.

Lester:

Two Muslims in Homeland Security.
What's wrong with this pic ture?
Just asking!!!
