When george bush first got into office many stars and regular people got into trouble for saying anything that seemed negative towards the president. Why has it become ok for rush limbaugh (a spoiled drug addicted trust fund baby who has no idea what it's like to struggle) to hope the president fails when so many americans need him to succeed.Why can't politics be put to the side and do what is best for the country not the party.

1) Is it is time that CNBC starts demanding indictments and disgorgement of the criminals that exploited their show and audience.
Mozilo, Killinger, Thain, Fuld, Cayne, etc.
Clearly, CNBC did no due diligence of the pump and dump schemes perpetrated by many of their banking guests. CNBC owes society an apology and to demand that our government restores rule of law; disgorge and indict.
Why so few hosts, except for Ratigan are defending capitalism, our Constitution and rule of law.

Shouldn't we leave Iraq now? What real difference will it make later rather than sooner?

Why have we not heard much about electric cars? It would solve so many of our problems. It would restore the auto industry, possibly even in 15 years be able to pay back the bailout money. It would clearly drastically help our environmental/energy efficiency problems and dependency on foreign oil. I just can't understand why this is not a bigger issue.

Please ask someone on the panel or yourself,
How did this economic situation become President Obama's fault?
Correct me if I am wrong, he inherited this bag!
This problem started long before he was elected,
I think it is disingenuous of all Republicans to say its his fault and that the things he's doing to try & fix it are wrong.They haven't stated one good idea to help!
They have no credibility anymore their ideals have been proven to be wrong & unsound, right??
Thanks Bill

Dear Erin Burnett,
Where do you think you'll rank, if there's ever a beauty contest within the NBC family? IMHO, Norah O'Donnell is my number one NBC NILF.
By the way, do the guys over in NBC ever just stare at her for no reason?

John Kennedy's election as our first Catholic President was a big deal to Americans in the 1960s. When will America be ready for a non-believer in the oval office?

Is Bobby Jindal constitutionally disqualified from becoming President?
According to Republicans and their anti-choice stance, life begins at conception. Jindal admits his mother arrived to the USA while she was pregnant. Therefore, did he not start life as an Indian thus disqualifying him from running for President of the United States of America?

Are We Americans now trading our debt to the chinese for our land?
We buy their junk and they buy the discounted land out from under us. The meek aren't inheriting the earth, they are buying it with our money!
What do you have with a busload of chinese millionaires driving off a cliff at the Grand Canyon? You get enough dollar bills to fill it and they keep on driving.

Dear Mr. Maher,
My name is infoseek. It's depressing to see all the empty spaces when I was walking around the town and nearby malls. I would imagine that's what's going on throughout the country.
What do you think we should fill the empty spaces left behind by Starbucks and other retail closeouts?

Hi Bill,
Great to see you back looking as handsome as ever. Do you think President Obama will use Joe Biden who I think is brilliant, to his full extent as far as Foreign Policy and any other area he feels Joe's expertise would bring results?
You got me into politics, love you for that..
Michelle

According to sources President Obama will sign an executive order reversing the policy on government funding for embryonic stem cell research. Many religious Americans and of course Pharmaceutical companies find this to be immoral. Don't you think its more immoral not to pursue research that may produce cures or prevent todays illnesses?

politicians keep saying their trying to fix the economy, but how can you fix it when there are no jobs cause all the good ones have been outsourced. working at walmart or mcdonalds for $8/hr doesn't cut it.

Did RNC chair Steele cede control of the debate over the direction of the Republican party to Rush Limbaugh with his (to me spineless) apology?
Cheers,
