I get advice from my Dad often, sometimes even solicited, but that doesn't mean I follow it. Don't hold your breathj, Obama owes the Unions.

i think a GROWING number of those who voted for Obama are very much regretting their choice.

Republicans need to play this up immensely. Buffett is a household name. If he is against, America will go with his decision that it is bad.

Buffet just glossed over that.

most of the interview has been Buffet in “rescue obama” mode.

Buffet has been delusionally pro obama.

Kernan asking great questions.

Of course he’s insisting he has no opinion about the topics but simply asking the questions.

Kernan is like a dog with a bone. He’s not letting up and Buffett is waffling when he can but speaking the truth at times.

Not exactly a conservative but he is complaining that O is trying to do too much at once.

I took that as saying he’s spending too much money while he should be concentrating on the economy.

He is for taxing the rich so the poor can have more.

What an idiot.

Buffet is only his “economic advisor” when Buffet promotes what bamster’s handlers plan for the economy

Buffet will be dumped like yesterdays garbage in the rush to get bamster to sign this bill

Forbes also against this bill...

it doesn’t matter who is against it....the democrats will do it and the economy will be further wrecked. This is intentional folks.

What’s strange is that Buffet says he supports Obammy
But he’s in opposition to all the principles that Obammy supports.
(Carbon tax, card check, yadda yadda)

The important point I got from Buffet’s discussion is he forecasts INFLATION which totally agrees with my view.

I'm thinking he likes the attention that affiliation with Obama gives him - i.e. Buffett as "An Economic Brad Pitt"

Buyers Remorse is spreading, but it needs to spread faster and wider to prevent Pres*ent Teleprompter from destroying us.

Fortunately the cretins who support PT are funneling thousands (if not millions) more to the Rush Limbaugh Show via their foolish attacks on Rush. If Rush can educate them fast enough, maybe he can convert enough to sanity and reality to put the skids to the destruction of our country.

Buffet is trying to rescue himself far more than he is trying to rescue obama.

Must suck to wake up to being a useful idiot to the socialists.

Buffet holds a lot of municipal bonds he needs to be bailed out on... Especially in California...

I've become a BIG TIME Joe Kernen fan.

While I watch Becky Quick ,

I listen to Joe. He reminds me of a freeper. No B.S. allowed.

Yes, everyone believes this Obama WH gang are the brightest bulbs, but they’ve simply advertised loudly for their enemy.

What did he learn from Ayers and as a community organizer? The average Chicago Alderman is not this stupid and their IQs don’t average over 90.
