What do you think of the season 10 finalists?

- The Wildcard is unfair. 10 people had to earn their way, and 3 got a gift. If they wanted 13 they should have taken the top 13 vote getters. I guess they had to fill their minority quota. Especially with Randy hosting the NAACP Awards. Ashton Jones never heard of the Beatles. She can't be too bright.

President Obama has kicked his smoking habit

- I don't believe he quit. A few months ago he showed his nicorette gum that he was using to try to quit. Anyone with a brain would not need gum. And anyone that says he is 95% cured is a liar or a moron. You're either 100% cured or 0% cured. You are either a smoker or non smoker.

- Why the h*ll would any company agree to that? How much trouble is it to stick a stamp on an envelope? Greeting cards are for idiots who can't think for themselves and write their own thoughts or design their own card. Emails are easier and faster, and holiday photo cards you can get at Costco.

Totally agree w/ your comment. Obama should never have been elected. Glen Beck proved he is a commie. Obama has lied about many things, including being Muslim. He is destroying the country, it's values,and everything it stands for and he hasn't even been in office for 100 days!

Too bad Obama, Joy Beyhar, and the other pro choice people weren't aborted.

I cannot believe you said that. I guess you are one of the RELIGIOUS RIGHT people who think it is ok to kill only the people you choose.

Sigh, this country is in a sad sad state, and it is getting worse daily!

I pray for you and for a DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT SOON!
