I am not spinning anything.

The poster to whom I responded had absolutely nothing to offer except a childish one liner about Kool-Aid, which she couldn't even spell correctly. It is clear she hates President Obama and resents the fact that the majority of the country voted for him.
It is my personal opinion that President Obama is doing a fabulous job, and I am entitled to express my opinion just as much as you or anyone else on this forum.
If anyone is spinning, it is you!

Always twisting and spinning
things for your own advantage. I'm just tired of the same ole BS spewed by you. Obama is the best thing and Bush is the root of all evil...blah blah blah.
All politicians are evil. That is why we have switched control from pubs to dems and our country is still going down the crapper. That isn't change. Seems to me like pubs and dems alike want to spend. They only complain when the other side spends and screws the American people but it is fair play when it is their political party doing all the spending.
Obama is not doing a good job. If we was, there wouldn't be so many tea parties, etc. Moderate democrats aren't even on board with what he is doing either. Our country is quickly changing for the worse and yes...Bush started it....but Obama is going to finish it and he is pushing it as quickly as he can. He has blatantly lied and the media has given him a pass. The man has broken so many promises and is spending so much money that we don't have. He is ruining us and all people like you do is refuse to see what he is actually doing. You just listen to his smooth teleprompter speeches and watch with gaga gaga eyes and drool while you believe every lie that comes out of his mouth.
You are just as bad as the Bush lovers who refuse to believe he did anything wrong either. I think the extreme left and extreme right both need to get a clue!
That's not twisting and spinning...(sm)
That was a direct quote...hence the marks that look like this: " ". Maybe my posts just make you dizzy because they are outside of the (watch out...here come some more of those marks).."no spin zone." 
Spinning the report won't change it.
My guess is that DHS knew very well that this report WOULD be leaked to the press (they had "don't leak to press" on the first page), and used it to try to suppress attendance at the tea parties. The timing is MIGHTY suspicious.
Some one stop this woman from shoe shopping and spinning...sm
First of all, other than the obvious damage control (spinning) Ms. Rice is doing, what are the comparisons of Iraqi War to America's Civil War?? Second, isn't her not my department response to Katrina just the biggest taletell sign that it is time for her and her boss to go?

Condi uses Civil War to slap Iraq critics
Secretary of State Rice compared the Iraq war with the American Civil War, telling a magazine that slavery might have lasted longer in this country if the North had decided to end the fight early.
I'm sure there are people who thought it was a mistake to fight the Civil War to its end and to insist that the emancipation of slaves would hold, Rice said in the new issue of Essence magazine.
I know there were people who said, 'Why don't we get out of this now, take a peace with the South, but leave the South with slaves?' Rice said.
Rice also bristled at the notion that the Bush administration's slow response last year in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was because of the race of the majority of the victims.
I resented the notion that the President of the United States, this President of the United States, would somehow decide to let people suffer because they were black, Rice told the magazine.
I found that to be the most corrosive and outrageous claim that anybody could have made, and it was wholly and totally irresponsible.
Asked if she felt personally accountable, Rice said, The government did its best. People aren't perfect, and this response was not perfect. You know, I do foreign policy, I don't run Homeland Security. I don't run FEMA. I do foreign policy. She added, I did what I could to coordinate the international response.

For convention coverage minus spinning, bashing, biased
Tired of attack politics? Don't need reporters telling you what you just saw or what to think about it? Want a one-on-one convention experience? Want to digest the content without the interference of disconcerting and distracting commentary? Want to be in charge of deciding what is and what is not pertinent during the course of the conventions? Do anchors and networks promoting their own hidden agendas get under your skin as they invent issues of no consequence, discount messages of great importance and try to stir up conflict? Do you find most coverage obnoxious, rude and insulting to your intelligence? Does their reporting look and sound like make believe? Do you think our candidates, conventions, parties, issues, policies and political process deserve more dignity than a big-top circus/carnival presentation?
The solution is easy. Switch that channel. Try CSPAN. Not to worry. If you feel you are missing something in the way of staying abreast with the pundit's play-by-play smear scripts, you can always get caught up on all those issues the next time you log onto MT Stars political forum.
