Has anyone considered or discussed the roll of oil speculators on the increase of gas prices in the USA & elsewhere ? Could this be the 1% creating this situation ? When are these people going to be held accountable for what they do in the name of greed ?

    Andrea Mitchell made a comment that Russ Feingold was the only one that was against our going to war in Iraq. That is incorrect. Robert Byrd was very much against going to war in Iraq as well. Just because he's not around to speak up, he shouldn't be forgotten as we one who was strongly against our going to war in Iraq and should be appreciated and respected as a strong opposer of being against the war in Iraq.

      Are there any names out there to replace Hillary Clinton in a second Obama administration?

        Could you explain the predicted result of Romney's plans on the deficit and the economy so that we can do a fair and independent comparison? Also, what is Romney's plan for Syria and Iran?

          Romney's plan for the deficit: Swiss Bank Accounts

          Romney's plan for Syria and Iran: Obama is a muslim, communist, fascist, radical black Christian, who hates America, freedom, and puppies, and was planted here by one world, muslim, fascist, communists during a vast left wing, liberal conspiracy that was hatched in 1963, and the entire state of Hawaii is in on it. Every resident of Hawaii got a 55" flat screen TV as payment in 1964.

            LIke you, I am touched by Rick Santorum's love for his Down Syndrome Child..But let us look at realities:he has been in the Senate,has lobbied for some years, is quite wealthy and therefore he can afford to provide the best of care for this child, without too much sacrifice. He probably has excellent health insurance and does not have to worry about retirement. How about parents who do not have the means to provide even adequate care for these children? Some of them have severe heart defects that require frequent hospitalizations,and surgery. They require special education and training...When there are other children in a family who is not as wealthy as Santorum's, they too need to sacrifice..And let us remember that these Republican Candidates are proposing to cut education, medicaid,Health insurance, and a variety of other services that would benefits families of handicapped children, etc..

              Watching your interview about Iran and nuclear weapons I wonder if this is another case of 'crying wolf' as the reporting about this issue was leading up to the war on Iraq? I don't know what to believe anymore!

                just wanted to congratulate Andrea on pronouncing "Houston Street" in lower Manhattan correctly as its not pronounced the same way the city in Texas is (though the spelling is alike).
