This is Amazing - on one hand they say they need money [ the banks ] from the government [ really the tax payers ] to survive and they promise to help with the struggling economy and they start imposing fees on unemployeed people who are collecting unemployement ??? What the heck is going on - Read the article below - blew my mind... Hey - Whats Obama Doing ?? Jobless hit with bank fees on benefits By CHRISTOPHER LEONARD AP Business Writer The Associated Press Friday, February 20, 2009 12:25 AM EST For hundreds of thousands of workers losing their jobs during the recession, there's a new twist to their financial pain: Even as they're collecting unemployment benefits, they're paying bank fees just to get access to their money.

Why Does America have to Lead - why not other countries...? I heard a friend of mine make what I believe was a foolish statement - it went like this " Why Does America has to lead the world - why not let the other countries do it ?" What he was referring in a later comment was - that America acts like it's the only one that knows right from wrong and that people hate us because "we act like the world boss". He may have a point - but my question would be - who then, if not America? Really think about it - we suffered a terrorist attack and we struck back.

Is it me or don't you think that the ACLU should be called against many of these Presidential candidates or atleast the reports who blantanly say - that the candidates are seeking the "black" and "Brown" vote? Let me get this straight - a hangsman nose is wrong? The word Ni**R is wrong if a white man says it....? And refering to people by color is wrong.... except when it comes to the presidential elections?????? Since when was my vote considered a color? Why are the democrates chasing after the "color" vote if they are supposed to be for the common people- "aint we colored folk common folk?" I don't know about you but I find it strange that no one has "NOT ONE" compliant about the news or candidates demeaning voters [ people] and associating them or grouping them by color. NO, not one people standing up saying - Hey that sounds racist....?
