People will also remember that it took a far more shorter time to liberate the people of Libya than with both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Tonight has been a fantastic night for the President.

I'd like to thank the GOP for reviving the Red Scare.

Goldendogs so basically George Romney, who was on welfare when he first came to the US is a self described victim? Those who are low income white families (and there are many) in the right leaning south that depend on food stamps and welfare are going to vote for Obama? Even though the electoral map contradicts this? Its because of the questions above that prove Romneys statement to be false. It wasn't the truth, it was a huge falsehood that broadly paints half the country as lazy moochers. To add, it even paints Mitts own father as some lazy unmotivated moocher, but I guess in Romneys case its like you say; the truth hurts.

Lol am I to believe that entire 47% that side with Obama in the latest poll consists of all those that don't pay income taxes? I fail to understand that half of America is self described victims.

Boy, Fox News is in overdrive today, hyping up the response from the Obama admin in light of the attacks, as being apologetic. There seems to be quite a disconnect within the GOP today between those like Peggy Noonan and the people at Fox news/Romney campaign.

Sorry I don't mean to kick a dead horse here, I know its been discussed earlier but in regards to the voter i.d. issue; I don't understand the rush to have it for THIS election? A nice compromise and a more logical step would be to slowly but surely implement these new voter i.d. laws, so that at least by 2014 or 2016 every voter; black, white, asian, or hispanic; young or old would have had enough time to get their i.d. However the sudden rush to make sure everyone has their i.d. to vote for this election, the presidential election, makes the GOP's motivation for this more obvious than ever, especially knowing WHO this will affect, who said constituents may vote for, and the ever seldom occurence of actual voter fraud. I ask, why quickly implement this when a slower implementation of this would make sure EVERY voter has an i.d. for an election? I dont have an issue with the request for a picture i.d. to vote, just the timing and how its being carried out.

If theres one thing I will never understand is the belief from the right that Obama is some far left liberal, or yet has governed as one. I'm quite the liberal myself and I've got to say I've been quite disappointed in the past four years, barely any so called ar left policies have been implemented.

This video/interview = nail:head. Basically sums up that the congressional dysfunction we see today is not like those of the past. Think tankers Norman Ornstein and Thomas Mann discuss their book which charts the decline of cooperative problem-solving in Washington. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-june-4-2012/exclusive---norman-j--ornstein---thomas-e--mann-extended-interview-pt--1

Years ago, in the wastelands of fan fiction, I did a storyline where a SORASed 20/30 something Matthew Evans(son of Mark Evans and Jennifer Richards, portrayed by Scott Holroyd), Amanda's half brother returning to Springfield and becoming sort of the perfect son for Alan, where he'd use the young lad for political maneuvering. I also thought Alan Michael would have been great in a political storyline as well. If A-M wasn't going to gain control of Spaulding to earn his father's respect or love, he was going to climb his way up the political ladder to do so.

Ugh...from the sounds of it CNN is expecting a loss for Obama in regards to the healthcare law. I was expecting Obama to have this in his pocket, but from the sounds of it the general solicitor representing the administration fumbled a few times. So if the law is deemed unconstitutional, what next? And what would this say about laws stating that automobile owners must have auto insurance?

I watched the lead up to the murder and Ivegot to co-sign on the positive feedback. I especially adore the fact that Bens relationship withIan or Heather was not forgotten.

ABC News with Diane Sawyer covered this, this evening, and the news piece could have basically served as a attack ad for Romney to be honest, right down to his most recent gaffe about the poor. Sad thing is, I doubt the DNC will milk this for what its worth, nor will anybody really care about what he said unfortunately.

There was some back and forth with why the original link a poster posted at DS kept showing up as a empty page. Turns out Sky news had originally reported the news, but after a few hours, took the story down. The twitter account of EastEnders press says they have a major announcement in store for tomorrow. However the cats pretty much out of the bag now.

Exactly. When you include the fact that Calhoun was a director at AW during the Rauch/Lemay era, it kind of makes sense why his later tenures at ATWT(Bringing in Marland) and GL were pretty exceptional; production wise and writing. He's repsonsible for two golden eras, both on ATWT and GL. I love the scenes with Billy and Vanessa, and small moments where Vanessa prepares for Billy's arrival and spots the alcohol and places it in a cabinet; all very good stuff.

I agree with this. I know Swajeski is credited for bringing consistency to AW, but DePriest's era seemingly did the same for a moment.

I agree they should have kept the opening sequence for 'Hold on to Love'. I despised the shortened version and multiple variations of the theme that came after. However I'm pretty certain it was Calhoun that instituted the opening sequence and theme. Calhoun was EP of GL from 1989 to 1991, and the theme was put in place in Jan. 1991. Calhoun's name can be seen in the credits from a episode in early 1991. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRDCT7IySsU&feature=youtu.be

Correct. In fact the production values for the show initially didn't improve until 89 which is when after Calhoun took over. Darker/moody lighting was put in place, a new opening, etc.

I didn't mind Vanessa's new home, I rather enjoyed seeing the set in a few episodes from late 1993 and so forth(the episode where a recast Billy has or will shoot Roger). Just was using it as a example of another one of JFP's quirks that was conceived on GL. Carl, I recently watched the episode of where that particular home of Revas caught on fire and Michelle was trapped inside. From the camera angles and etc. I suddenly gained a new liking of that set, Among Vanessa's many homes while on the show, the one that Matt built was my least favorite, for multiple reasons

I want to say that Vanessa's house was truly an example of JFP's first obsession with a "modern" newly constructed set. Later on AW, it seemed to be the hospital set.

Interesting I did not know they had split up that long before her return to GL.

I'm shocked they kept Fletcher on after Pam Long departed in 1990. He didn't really have anything to do.

Bachmann's speech is just packed with falsehoods and extreme rhetoric.

Actually around the time this episode had aired it had been announced that Rauch was leaving. Rauch had spent much of the last half of 2002 tightening up the production values of Guiding Light; giving the show a new opening, a few new sets, and improving the lighting. By Christmas 2002, the show was pretty good looking.
