Travelin’ music? SHE’ll tell you about travelin’ music!
Bettye Lavette’s been around a while. In fact, if you were touring back in the early ’60s with the likes of Ben E. King, Otis Redding and James Brown, and you’re still at it today, you qualify as an authentic R&B veteran. That’s a marathon runner in the musical world.
And as you’ll see if you watch this remarkably emotional performance from just a couple of years ago, Bettye does not sell her audience short. To the contrary, she sells everything she’s got and then some.
Ladies and gentlemen, to kick off the weekend, I give you the fabulously soulful Miss Bettye Lavette!

When the gop focus is to get our President after a collapse and a attack for this election, there was no way they would work with our President.Fact. The senate leader said it and it will be in the history books.

Obama doesn’t know how to talk to republicans huh?
Pelosi, who happens to have a ground-level view of the situation, disagrees, insisting that her Republican colleagues will be just as obstinate as ever.
“I see this president sit for hours being very respectable, but trying to find a path where there could be agreement when there is [none],” Pelosi said. “‘Never. Does never work for you?’ That’s really what they’re saying to the president.”
Conservative pundit Ramesh Ponnuru, writing in Bloomsberg, agrees with Pelosi:
“If the president believes anything like this would happen in his second term, he is kidding himself. If Obama wins re-election, the Republican Party will react by moving right, not left. It will become less likely to compromise with Obama, not more…

Fred – The kids playing for Penn State had nothing to do with Jerry Sandusky. Probably never met the swine. The inviduals responsible for allowing that scum to continue to prey on children need to be dealt with severely. Their actions are inexcusable and no true Penn Stater thinks what they did was acceptable. Personally, I am really disappointed in the actions of the leaders on my alma mater. They should all face prison time. However, it does no good to punish the current players and coaches. They’re busting their butts and deserve our support.
So please move on and allow the players, coaches, and alums to move on.

Not only did the players have nothing to do with the scandal, but a death sentence would do big economic harm to the community, who also had nothing to do with this.
Also, the football program mostly finances all the other athletic programs so they would suffer too.
ANYONE who had ANY knowledge of these events should be severely punishmented.

Compared to the state of negotiated compromise today, I’m willing to wager that most of America would ditch the current president and congress if they could be replaced by the group from the 1990’s.
Generally true. The prez has the upper hand in any negotiation though.
The president should not be a part of the negotiation at all. That’s the problem with America. The president, by Constitutional design, should have NO part of legislative formulation. If the Founders would have wanted it that way, they would have not separated the Executive and Legislative branches as they did. Giving the president the “upper hand” in any legislative negotiation is giving the President far more power than the Constitution advocates and allows.

Most of those don’t say WHO profits the most OR how many jobs would be created. Could be 3-33 million
This on the otherhad is troubling.
Employers have already proven to the Labor Department through the labor certification process that they need these workers, that qualified Americans are not available and that American workers will not be harmed (or the process has been waived in the national interest). As the high-skilled foreign worker advocacy organization Immigration Voice states, “the country of origin does not affect the immigrants’ ability to contribute to the economy and the employer. Employment-based immigration is driven by U.S. employers seeking to fill positions for which they cannot find qualified, willing and able Americans.”

Bro: Those “job bills” are scams, written so the lay man can’t understand that they’re being scammed. For instance:
H.R. 4078
Regulatory Freeze for Jobs Act of 2012
The rule would provide for two hours of debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority members of the Committees on the Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform. Additionally, the rule makes in order and provides ten minutes of debate for each of the 26 amendments (summarized below) printed in the Parts A and B of Rules Committee report accompanying H.Res. 738, in addition to providing for one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
This bills has nothing to do with jobs, except for the name. What they’re trying to do is write an end around for regulations regarding SOME EPA Regulations, and probably some nuclear regs too.
Here’s another one:
H.R. 6082
Congressional Replacement of President Obama’’s Energy-Restricting and Job-Limiting Offshore Drilling

The Republican Party said that their plan was to place STAND ALONE bills to be passed or vetoed based upon the bills IMPORTANCE.
Jobs don’t seem to be important to the House since they can’t seem to not attach them as riders to things like Pro-choice limits, limitations on EPA regulations, etc.

I didn’t check to see if they were stand alone. My bad on that one. When I did a search for republican jobs bills, that was the first site that came up.

One of the things I noticed about the House was how quickly they veered away from that position of passing stand alone bills. I haven’t heard much either about the whole thing of pointing out the constitutionality of the legislation either. I haven’t read over all of their bills to see if they have adhered to that promise.

Trickle down prosperity is a better solution than trickle up poverty.

Since trickle down doesn’t seem to be working.
(I think the beneficiaries of it have prostate problems).
We might need to give the trickle up solution a try.

BRO,
We must not forget the Clinton benefited from the dot.com boom, as he wouldn’t hestitate to admit, and he also cut capital gains tax which, in more cases than not, creates material revenue..
I think he also benefited from working with GOP relative to pledge to balance budger..none of which we enjoy today.raising the capital gains tax would be disasteroous for revenues…

When we think about the sustainability of current and new HC entitlements, have any Libs considered the birth rate between those on some sort of government subsidy and others?
The CBO rate is that those getting subsidy have birth rate at 3x’s that of those not recieving..
How is all this sustainable?

The gop worked with President Clinton.
They refused to work with President Obama.
It is not complicated.

Here’s another example of those “jobs” bills that the republicans put up:
H.R. 6169
The Pathway to Job Creation through a Simpler, Fairer Tax Code Act of 2012
and another –
H.R. 5544
Minnesota Education Investment and Employment Act
H.R. 5544 would require the Secretary of Agriculture to exchange federal land for land owned by the State of Minnesota. Specifically, the bill would require the Secretary to exchange approximately 86,000 acres (according to CBO estimates) of National Forest System land located in the Superior National Forest for approximately 86,000 acres of land owned by the state within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Under the legislation, land obtained by the federal government would be added to and administered as part of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Land acquired by the state would be deemed state trust lands and would be held in trust for the benefit of the Minnesota public school system.
These supposed “jobs” bills are nothing more than the republicans playing 3 card monty with the american people. The only JOBS in these bills is the word “J-O-B-S”.
