To those that will undoubtedly use Quaddafi's letter as proof that Obama is Muslim: Siding with Quaddafi over your own president is not patriotic!
I believe Quaddafi is much more shrewd with his comments than you give him credit for. What better way to discredit President Obama further with the already paranoid fringes of our society than to pull him to his breast and call him 'a Son of Africa'. Obama wants no part of Quaddafi, but comments like these presume that they share a base.
Thank you for your consistantly thought provoking shows,

Can we blame a large part of the US budget deficits to the massive spending on foreign wars? And how will we finance the long-term care of all the veterans who have been broken by these wars?
Viva la France?
It was mentioned that France backed the US during the Revolutionary War. Didn't they also back the confederacy during the US Civil War? Further, was not their involvement in both conflicts due to political and financial interests and not due to some greater commitment to democracy?
Just thought I would throw that out there.
Kudos to the guest who pointed out China is no democracy, still has a partially planned economy, and yet is (apparently) doing better than we are! How does that fit with “laissez-faire” philosophy, and with the false claim of conservatives that as China became more capitalist it would also become more democratic? I’m seeing plenty of increasing capitalism there, but no increase in political freedom!

I am sure Mr. Trump means the Collapse of WTC #7
We love Donald Trump and we support him all the way - with the hope and expectation that he will take on the New Investigation of the Events of 9/11
and lower his Commercial Property Insurance Premiums .... and he can sue Insurance Companies for not doing their regulated duties before cutting Checks for Arson.
If he does not listen to us .... when he comes to NH to campaign and face the people .... I will bring Obama's Aunt Zeituni Onyango to say Hi to Donald Trump in Manchester, NH.
Alternatively, you will arrange us to see Mr. Trump for 10-15 minutes to make a case ... and Mr. Trump can make it an attractive asset for his campaign - he is the Man!!!!
Thanks Allison for your kind help on this matter.
We want to see Larry Silverstein in Jail and Silverstein Properties and Vornado Realty go out of business for conspiring to bring down the entire World Trade Center complex down and profiting immensly with the replacement construction and insurance proceeds.
