Pioneering White House correspondent Helen Thomas told a National Press Club audience Dec. 7 that the country is endangered by what she called government leaders' greed, fear, and subservience to war-mongers.
“I came here in 1943,” she told a dinner audience of 30, “and I don’t think I’ve ever seen our country so bereft of ideals and ideas. I don’t see anything on the horizon that can pull us out. I hope I’m wrong.” Shown at left in a 2009 photo courtesy of Wikipeda, she described current leaders as weak and selfish. The self-described liberal doled out criticism to all sides. “Republicans,” she said, “have one goal: To get Obama. But when they see the country falling apart, that’s all they can do?"
“As for Obama,” she continued, “I think he’s weak. He has no courage.” She said the country urgently needs “a stand-up guy who’ll do the right thing.” What are some examples?
“The first priority should be jobs.” Also, “Make people pay their taxes, and stop the wars.” She estimated at least 700 U.S. military bases around the world. “We’re killing all of these people [in undeclared wars]. Why? Is it any surprise that people will fight back for their country? There’s no doubt we want to eliminate Iran. Why wouldn’t they want to defend themselves?”

I believe they’re commonly referred to as “useful idiots”...
I want a “revolution” against ugly people.
Was Yassir Arafat a “war monger?”
Just wondering.
Gadzooks! Not looking at horrible graphics... 
but just thinking ICS was not doing their job even back then!
The other thing that is weird about Helen and her ilk is how simplistic their ideas are... but they believe they have found the secret of life. They’re really not very smart.
Wow! How do you get away with posting a pic of a steaming pile of... ooh... it’s just Helens... never mind.
Lobbying for Hitler and Stalin?
Warning please!
Pass the eye bleach please!
Well since that's been your goal since 1943, you should be pretty pleased.
I don’t see anything on the horizon that can pull us out.
Other than that Constitution thingy, eh?
Crawl away and die somewhere, Hellen, you murderous lying hag. And may the human race forget you ever existed, while hell welcomes you with open arms.
I JUST ATE, DAMN YOU!!!!
Oh GOD my eyes ! My eyes ! Someone please me the eye bleach so I can wash out my eyes .
How about givings folks a warning next time guy . That way folks can get the auto dark welding helmet on first.
I think it’s just wrong to post an article just so you have an excuse to post her picture. I’ll bet nobody read the article and immediately slid down to check out the comments.
LOL!!
