The first man she interviewed was, admittedly, quite inarticulate, and kept referring to Mr. Obama as a fascist. A little advice for that man, if you're going to use such a strong label, have some information to back it up. The difference was, he wasn't being paid by a major news network to give his opinion. A little advice for Ms. Roesgen, if you're speaking to someone who calls your President a fascist, have something a little more coherent to say in reply than, “Yeah, ok, uh, fascist.” You're a media personality watched by millions of people. Be prepared for it.

Personally, given the increasing interweaving of federal government and corporate power in our government, the demands for a more wealth-redistributing income tax, the tightening of the reins on the First and Second Amendments (not to mention the Ninth and Tenth), and the constant talk of nationalizing this industry or that industry, I agree with the fascist label for our current government. But that's better discussed in a separate article.

The second man to speak with Ms. Roesgen was much better spoken, that is when he wasn't being interrupted. He spoke of the belief in liberty and of the right to enjoy the fruits of one's labor, until Ms. Roesgen interrupted with the dismissive question, “What does that have to do with taxes?” It has everything to do with taxes! In an era when government can arbitrarily decide how much of YOUR hard-earned pay YOU are worthy to keep, at a time when government can tell you after busting your hindquarters to get where you are that you have earned the right to pay more confiscatory taxes, that is not liberty.

If the interrupting and degrading questioning were not enough, Ms. Roesgen had the nerve to point out that the man brought his little boy (cute as can be by the way), and that the man was getting a $400 tax credit because of that child. Wow, $400? That's so generous of a government that has run up a tab so immense that every child in the United States is now born owing over $30,000 because of the massive spending of Bush and Obama. If I saved $400 for 75 years, I'd have enough to pay the debt load of one child at the end of those 75 years. Of course, that's not taking into account future budgets, wars and stimuli. But go ahead, Ms. Roesgen, and insult the parents of this country by referring to their beloved offspring as a $400 tax credit. How did you ever get into the media?

Finally, Ms. Roesgen, having had enough, decided to send it back to the news room, given the “anti-Obama and anti-CNN” atmosphere at the TEA Parties. Let me make one thing clear, Ms. Roesgen. I was anti-Obama before the 2008 election because of his previous actions as Senator, State Senator and community organizer. His actions as President have just made me more anti-Obama than before. Similarly, I've been anti-CNN since the beginning, as it has consistently been the mouthpiece of the Democrats (just as Fox News is that of the Republicans). Your actions have simply made me more anti-CNN than before. Congratulations, Susan! You've strengthened my beliefs.
