I am so with you on this. In the end it is the working people that will get screwed. And the truth is that the greed in their upper ranks has been forced to give their workers livable wages and work environments. However of the people that work at the plants are the only ones covered in this great deal (the Union, not the bailout.)

For me the issue is scrap the whole company and build a new one, a better one, one that helps a lot more people in perhaps different ways or try to change what is broken in the car corp "system." I know so many people who hurt, but part of me is thinking it is for the greater good and the long term good of working people.

I thinks it s harder to make change than to start fresh. Am I totally off base here?

This bailout loan is nothing compared to the free ride we gave the financial community.

I wish people would stop dogging working people, period.

Senate Republicans are considering asking Bill Clinton to testify at his wife’s confirmation hearing about potential conflicts of interest involving his worldwide charitable enterprises.

Oh, man.

Grab the popcorn.

LAWD, I do love some Chicago.

Ever heard, “Colour My World,” “Wishing You Were Here,” and something a little stronger, “Dialogues, Parts I and II.”

Essence magazine constantly reinforces foolishness. Of all the relationships to feature they choose yet another unmarried couple with illegitimate children and a cheater with money. Wow this is what a young girl is supposed to aspire to when she grows up?

It's a non issue. He's an entertainer who does a lot of charity work and doesn't act like a fool in public. If he wants to be a daddy then by all means good for him!

Why does someone discriminate black? I don't think love is just belongs to white. I'm a black and but my hubby is white. We met at i n t e r r a c i a l romancing . c o m which tell us love is color blind. Our love proved this. I hope each one will not discriminate blacks.

rikyrah: This comes under the heading - - "SO SAY YOU ALL?"

ALL 50 DEM SENATORS Call On Blagojevich To Step Down

Update - 6:20PM ET: All fifty members of the Democratic Senate caucus have signed Majority Leader Harry Reid's letter calling on Gov. Rod Blagojevich to step down from his post and refrain from appointing anyone to the vacated Illinois Senate seat, a source confirms.

The development is noteworthy on several fronts. It signals that the Democratic Party, led by the Nevada Democrat, is organizing a united front against allegations of corruption - though, on this matter, it would be remarkable had any Senator refused to sign the petition. More importantly, it indicates that the Democratic senators are prepared to exercise their constitutional authority to undo any move that Blagojevich may make before he exits office.

Because he is still, officially, the governor, Blagojevich has the power to appoint Barack Obama's replacement. Illinois officials have tried to take away such authority by passing legislation that would allow the seat to be decided by a special election. But Blagojevich could make the appointment before the bill becomes law. That said, the United States Senate has the power to reject his appointment - something that Reid threatened in his letter. The fact that 49 other Democratic colleagues, including Vice President-elect Joseph Biden and Secretary of State nominee Hillary Clinton, have signed this letter suggest that they are serious about pushing back against any 11th-hour Blagojevich move.
