Did the TV networks and news websites spend more time featuring stories about Michael Jackson's death, or Cap and Trade? I think the answer is clear.
lol So to you because the news channels are talking about MJ means that his death is more important to me and others because?? I didnt know FOXnews or cnn and msnbc spoke for me.

No. Try to follow the discussion.
I said:
"I doubt most Americans care about this issue. They're more interested in Michael Jackson's death - by far."
You said:
"Yeah you keep thinking that"
I then pointed out that the TV networks and news websites are covering Michael Jackson extensively, and not cap and trade. The point is that if cap and trade was a burning issue in the minds of most Americans, they would be covering it heavily - not Michael Jackson.
Some of us don't care one way or another. I imagine that others are fine with the legislative process as its evolving and don't have much interest in arguing about it.
And some just don't care to fight the same fight with another name.
40% of us (the public) think there is a debate about (or straight deny because of a cold day) global warming, and if that 40% can't be convinced of the threat, why would anyone try to convince the same crowd of the need to reduce that threat.
George W. Bush finished what Ronald Reagan started, and left no stone unturned in driving America into insolvency. Obama is trying his best to play the hand he was dealt with the economy in tatters, two wars to resolve, and nuclear proliferation becoming the newest hobby of rogue nations.
If you have any positive suggestions, I'm certain President Obama would appreciate hearing them. If all you have to offer is kvetching, he's heard it all before, and so have we.
The Ronald Reagan caused big deficits is a lie. The democrats controlled congress and didn't follow the deal agreed to that for every dollar of tax cuts there would be $3 in spending cuts. We got the tax cuts but never got the spending cuts.
Obama's 2 Trillion dollar deficits make GW Bush's deficits look like little marbles.
You want a positive suggestion? Stop spending money we don't have on greenhouse BS, welfare, bailouts and bogus healthcare nonsense.
They approve because they think it's Wall Street regulation.

Given a choice of three options, just 24% of voters can correctly identify the cap-and-trade proposal as something that deals with environmental issues. A slightly higher number (29%) believe the proposal has something to do with regulating Wall Street while 17% think the term applies to health care reform. A plurality (30%) have no idea.
