There's nothing preventing the Feds from going after Daley now. Nothing.

SFP, I have done my share of traveling as well, but I have a different perspective as for some reason, European people do not think that I am an American until I talk to them. For the most part I am mistaken for German, Dutch or as an Englishman. It's fun as I have Europeans approach me to ask for directions.The main comment that I ran into recently is that people say that they love Americans but did not like our previous President. When they discovered that we had a common belief (not in favor of W) then they really opened up to me. I have also witnessed that Europeans do not like the outwardly brash American traveler! (ugly American if you may) I have a classic story of how I got a window seat at the Jules Verne Restaurant in the Eiffel tower without a reservation as a result of an innocent comment that I made about some very brash tourists who didn't realize the impression that they were making.
I have a similar story. When I was overseas several years ago, in the 90's, I was told they like Americans but had lost respect for our President.
Wow.. When I was in England in the 90's, they liked Clinton a lot! Of course Clinton went to Oxford so that may have something to do with that.
Overseas covers a lot of ground, not just England. Most probably did respect the office for part of the 90's.
Thank you for the geography lesson.;-) Most Europeans whom I have met tend to have favorable opinions of Clinton with little regard for most Republicans with the exception of Reagan.
Guess it all depends on which ones you talk to, or say you talk to.
So one Michelle is a nut case and one makes up stories to impress the committee. No way to get a favorable vote. Those guys aren't dummies. Might work some of the time, but not this time.

of course there is...they are too busy regulating what people say in their own private blogs!

Looks to me like they're just trying to protect the consumer.
FTC Publishes Final Guides Governing Endorsements, Testimonials
Changes Affect Testimonial Advertisements, Bloggers, Celebrity Endorsements
The federal government has no rights intruding on what individual citizens say on their private blogs or message boards. Do you believe they do?
If you do, then does the government have a right to police what you say in your own home, and what you do in private?
I don't care much for Glen Beck, but why doesn't he have the right to free speech just the same as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Rachel Maddow, Bill Ayres, Van Jones, and Louis Farrakhan? Why do people feel so compelled to want to stop right-leaning people from saying what they want, but seem so demanding that others be allowed to say whatever they want?

I think the only thing that should be regulated in blogs is protecting both the individual and groups from false and slanderous statements.
What do these new FTC regulations have to do with these people and what they are saying?
It's about fraudulently promoting products....Get a grip people, nobody is going to take your away freedom of speech. I swear the right has gone nuts over the democrats running things, it's your own fault and it's not going to get any better for you guys acting like a bunch of babies that just had their candy taken away.....Are you one of these people screaming...I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK.
I agree to an extent, if real threats are made. But people are entitled to their opinions, no matter how wrong or offensive they are.
Since blogs are privately owned, how far does the government have a right to go? Should they also be able to police what you say in your own home then?

Murph, you don't see what the government is trying to do- they want to intrude on people's privacy. It's that simple, and it is wrong. Liberals used to stand strongly against such things.
Please stop trying to paint all people who disagree with you as raving lunatics, and babies. That is a time-worn technique that liberals never get tired of.

It looks like they are trying to regulate what a former employer of mine liked to do for good publicity. It helped sell the crappier stuff that we had.
Where were you guys when the Bush administration authorized domestic spying? Thats much more scary than the FTC regulating advertising on blogs.
I have a lot of friends and talk to a lot of people "overseas".;-)
