a sexual relationship why do we assume they are going to agree on the parenting of a child. why do we assume the child will be happy bouncing back and forth from one home to another? there you have the story fair and balanced. they admit cohesive unit two parents is the best situation for children. but for those who haven t found mr. and mrs. right sharing the responsibility is where it should be. seems like this is where i should say i love you mom and dad. thank you. i know you are a proud mom, too. oh, yeah. it is 48 hours to the florida primary and the media is in over drive. a lot of critics zeroed in on newt. next on why.
we figure if the 1% has the money, the other 16% must be confused. how can anyone be satisfied when 26% of us are unemployed or underemployed? just the latest example of the split in the country between those that have and do not have and those that are working together in alignment to help each other. i want to bring in former director under president reagan david stockman. a man who was one of the most aggressive in capitalism and opponents of capitalism. i want to continue the conversation we were having about the education newt and mitt are giving us. your assessment of the indictments of one another. freddie mac and fannie mae were a ses pool. newt was him krcritical in taki money from freddie mac and pretending they needed a
unemployment in the banking system and their role in that. finances being attributed to it, whether it s incorrect or correct is irrelevant. it s being talked about. the same time, the housing crisis. i think that the freddie mac thing is well absorbed into the american public. what do you mean? i think a lot of people know freddie mac and fannie mae helped to distort the market in such a way that created this housing bubble. it was a component. they were a facilitator. but the bain capital thing it, i think newt has a harder road when he s trying to say mitt made a profit and some people lost jobs. that works in the circles of the world, but does it work?
