Dear media: The economy is MORE IMPORTANT than the torture!
Another half-million jobs gone? Nothing to replace them?
Two-income families now two-layoff families? Even extended unemployment benefits running out for thousands??
Bullshit dead-cat bounce on Wall Street? College grads with nowhere to go?
Foreclosures that won't stop? Trillion in debt trying to rebuild a broken paradigm?

With this ever-darkening economic catastrophe, I don't give a rat's ass who tortured whom and who knew when.
Really.

Excuse me, but I think Bush & Cheney and the former speaker of the house Hastert KNEW TORTURE WAS GOING ON. Stop making Pelosi the central figure.
It is the economy.

3. Since President Obama promised to help the home owners against
foreclosures,how many checks have been written to bail out the banks and for how much............With no strings attached.....the answer is 4 and the amount is 145 billion...How much has CEO and bank exec taken for bonuses 1.2 billion...How much money to help the middle class with the mortgage crisis?...... 0 ........Its time President Obama stop giving campaign speeches and act for those that cast their vote for him...Just what percentage of bankers and Wall St execs do you suppose voted for Obama?
The Repukes have found a distraction that works ...And the corporate media has grabbed a hold and are not about to let go..this torture issue and the Cheney media blitz is not by accident..It was/is a calculated tactic to shift the focus on Democratic leaders and yes even Democrats are helping the Repukes keep the spotlight on the torture issue.

2. Unlike MSM I Can Concentrate on More than One Issue at a Time
Both are important, both need to be addressed. The political corruption represented by torture is directly tied to the economic corruption that is devastating the US citizen.

Evil has held reign for too long. There must be accountability and change. Nancy Pelosi, by her very public refusal to honor her oath of office, is one point at which to start a multi-pronged attack on those who did us all wrong.
