    I AM HAVING A HARD TIME WITH THE COMPARISON CONCEPT OF A MINORITY GROUP AND SEXUAL PREFERENCE....THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT SUBJECT FOR MANY PEOPLE AND TO MUDDY THE WATER FURTHER WITH INACCURATE INFORMATION AS NEWSWEEK HAS DONE IS UNACCEPTABLE AND A GREAT DISSERVICE TO THE READERS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST SUBSCRIPTION, IT APPEARS THE EDITORS ARE ALL ON EXTENDED LEAVE.

    As a member of an activist organization that strives to build bridges across class, race and socioeconomic divides within the LGBT community, I find the phrase "Gay is the new black" highly offensive. The last thing we need to do right now is resort to divisive and inflammatory comparisons. We truly need to unite and fight for the causes of everyone in the LGBT community as we would our own. http://www.onestruggleonefight.com

    As a member of an activist organization that seeks to build bridges across class, race and socioeconomic divides in the LGBT community, I couldn't agree more that it is inappropriate and divisive to label the LGBT movement in this way. Gay is not the new black, and this suggestion is highly inflammatory. We shouldn't be drawing comparisons, we should be uniting. http://www.onestruggleonefight.com

    che8717 says: "It is WRONG I understand that they feel it is right but in the same way a child rapest feels when is raping or a thief when stealing."

    Please re-read your comment... you are comparing 2 people who love each other to a rapist and a thief... if you can't tell the difference between these -3- things... then you probably want to seek some help... sorry...

    Do a research about what Happen to the civilizations that have enbrase homosexs. Wonder why we are in two wars and the economy is going down the drain?

    Romans 1:24 - "Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them."

    If I was a black I would be INSULTED. Two individuals in their lost make a decision to love the same sex that's not make it right. It is WRONG I understand that they feel it is right but in the same way a child rapest feels when is raping or a thief when stealing. Everytime they talk about this issue the liberals make gay look like they are angels. It is WRONG

    What's wrong with YOU usafirst1 that you can't get past his grammatical mistakes? Can't you see that English isn't his first language? Typical narrow minded right winger. There are people that to make themselves look bigger love to point out the flaws of other. Is that you? So what....you couldn't understand what he was saying? Really?

    Now as far as your howobamagotelected...blah blah blah Get over it. He got elected. The people have spoken and your bitter conspiracy theories aren't going to change that. We can either begin to work together to change the direction of the country or we can cry and whine about Obama and how our guy didn't win. Sheesh. Move on mister.

    This was a decent discussion and good points on both sides of the energy issue. Newt has some very good ideas. Fareed is still obsessed with s philosophy that struggles to superimpose a leftist Indian view of politics and bureacracy on American culture and entreprenureship. It is a bad fit. Fareed is an intellectual and a nice guy and we need his point of view to keep the discussion honest, but he speaks from the far left - one that relies on Government for the solution to everything. We currently have the most dysfunctional, non-productive Congress since the Civil War and the last thing we need is more Government.

    Does Jack999 make sense to anyone else. I have no idea what he is saying. The spelling and grammar are awful. And of what little bit of it I can make out...the facts are all wrong or backwards. This just illustrates the problems with this years election. So many voters were completely uninformed or just took what little bit they heard from horrible reporting (like Newsweek) as fact. It's really sad. America will not go down the drain because peoples values have changed all that much, but instead, because people have become lazy and uninformed. Go to this post election poll to see how uninformed voters were http://www.howobamagotelected.com/#wilson.

    Bush Blames everyone else excepted himself, when the tide againts him.Excuse me,Does he the Commander in-Chief that suppose to be Charge?yeah,who this Bush,the Snr or Jr Bush,I heard that,there will be another one comming up(Phobia),Profusely so sorry and do hope you forgive me,cause I can't figure out that clearly myself since I always having bad memory lapses or Dimensia,specially during Nov 4,which do happens to me every 4 years only.

    The Commission of the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction, in a 600-page report, announced its foregone conclusion that the intelligence community was dead wrong in almost all of its prewar judgments regarding Iraqs WMD capabilities. In the most blunt terms, the report stated (This was a major intelligence failure) So whats the logical solution to such "failures" in the future Why, increased centralization and even more power

    The report identified a stronger and more centralized management of the intelligence community and in general, the creation of a genuinely integrated community, instead of a loose confederation of independent agencies as the most effective means to avert such intelligence disasters in the future. Naturally, none of these findings can be applied to Iranian and North Korean intelligence gathered by the same fragmented, loosely managed and poorly coordinated intelligence community because its ""classified"" for our own good, to protect us from evil we cannot see. I guess we cant take any chances with whatever bad-guy stuff has been found about those two bad-guy places.

    By the way Obama isn't a President Yet, Why must we needs to talks & gossips about thing that we all wasn't sure ahead but fails to learn from our past mistakes,so that in future we dont have to make tendency of same mistakes again and again.We fails to knowledge Bush 8 yrs Legacy mistakes that cause many American lifes in a very deep hole or at least having a honest Post-Mortem to our conscience what wrongs he had done to US all.?

    Hwo's telling the truth.
    All I Heard is a mixture of all of you heard some kind of story from other people, the problem is wath you'll be said.
    You really think I will be accept what you said?
    Is like we are in a contest, on line, on TV, on radio,we are in a competition to be the best and demostrate our skills for the victory,to be believe the things we said!. the fact is all you can't handle the truth we are create a new world what is not real and we are living now in somewhat different..............?.

    In a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future.
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide the largest morgage bank in the world,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch which are 3 out of the top 5 wall street firms. Also, Fanny and Freddy Mae which hold 50 percent of the home loans in the United States.
    The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt.If they didn't the entire financially system would virtually shut down, the stock market would crash and we would suffer beyond what any of us have seen before.

    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what is broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use complex mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.

    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He either didn't care or didn't realize that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime.
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a tanking economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?



    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time
    running the biggest smear campaign in history.



    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that .
    Elect Obama Biden 2008

      Would you repeat those uninformed and ignorant comments about Obama today? Boy you are just dump and your englsh speaks volumes of your lack of knowledge. I urge you to think b4 you talk *** about Obama. He beat Your Mac Cain with a cool over 10 million popular votes and another cool 200 or so electoral college votes. This man Obama is a phenomena, with a force bigger than tsunami or hurricane katrina! Simply unstopable. Chill now and watch him run the World Show for the next 8 years boy. If you cant beat them, join them with your Mac Cain and other Americans like you coz the voters have spoken eloquently. Its Obama as black as he is. The Race barrier in America has gone down like the Barlin wall. Fire up Obama-biden team like a *** Rocket! Patrick - Mombasa Kenya.patricknjeru08@yahoo.com.

    For clatech--First of all, you called all white people stupid. What the hell are you thinking? If a White person called all blacks stupid on a blog or otherwise, Al Sharpton and the NAACP would be on your case like white on rice. (pun intended). Secondly, I personally didn't vote for Obama because I'm a Nader man and always have been but it seems to me that you are being extremely judgemental. Give the guy a chance. Maybe we need someone who doesn't have a lot of experience. Just maybe it means that he hasn't been corrupted by Washington politics yet. Maybe it will cause him to do a better job. He is obviously smart and he seems to be surrounding himself with smart, experienced people. Thats what it takes to be a good leader. You don't have to know everything but you do need people around you that do. As far as your business is concerned, how can you just screw 50 people who's very lives depend on their paycheck. You and your business partners sound like a bunch of egotistical compulsive maniacs.
    And for jack999: spellcheck is free and on every computer in the world. How about using it...thanks.

    I have lost so much respect for Newsweek as a source of credible information with this piece. It amounts to nothing more than gossip from potentially disgruntled campaign staffers.
    Does ANYONE truly believe that less that 3 days before the Republican Convention, that Sarah Palin had time to go on a massive shopping spree???? Come ON!!! Think!!! Politicians don't shop for themselves! A stylist & others were hired to outfit the Palin family. On a short time schedule, outfitting 8 people with assorted styles & sizes, IT IS JUST POSSIBLE THEY BOUGHT MULTIPLE SIZES, COLORS & STYLES, returning them after the fact AS STATED BY SARAH PALIN!!!
    Try to tell the Nation that Obama has questionable friends & business aquaintances & ....... what........ nothing but defense, defense, defense.......
    Tell the Nation that "Anonymous" sources report that Sarah Palin bought too many clothes & ....... what..... hysteria!!!!

    Tell the Nation that Obama's campaign donated GOBS of money to A.C.O.R.N., a group being investigated in many States for Voter Fraud........... and what.......... NOTHING!!

    Tell the Nation that Sarah Palin was "One step away from STEALING from the campaign" ...... and.......

    Sarah Palin should sue all of your a**'s for slander. The Newsweek reporters who did this "reporting" should lose their jobs. The Editors that allowed it should get the same.

    Journalism & TRUE reporting officially DIED in the 2008 Presidential Campaign. I weep for the state of our Nation. Sensationalism & Gossip have replace Facts & Research.

    Never again will I spend a DIME on Newsweek!!

    Richard Pryor had keen insight when he said "White people are so stupid"

    I???m so fed up with our corrupt political system after breaking my back for years building my business and fighting from going bankrupt, a bunch of naïve Americans elect an even more naïve career politician, president. I and many of my business partners have decided to pack it in, I???m laying off 50 plus workers starting next month and retiring. No way in hell am I going to pay this numskull???s capital gains tax and run my business into the ground before I can cash out!

      So besides being greedy you're weak as well? Or would, "chicken" be more appropriate? I especially like how responsible you feel for your employees. Call a meeting. See how many of them want you to walk away because you are afraid of ideas presented during a campaign. What a shrewd businessman you are. Ever hear of a self-fulfilled prophecy? Good Luck.

    IF you have an Ambitious to hold as "PUBLIC OFFICE BEARERS",But doesn't have any Qualification or Smart Brain, Just Join the "Republican party" But you must poccessed the abilities for blatant lies, rallies inciting anger, and even in the face of facts out there continues to lie about all of it. You're just the perfect requirements for the future Republican Candidates.
