Mr. Johnson: Fox News as fair and balanced? Really? Fox News that is owned by Rupert Murdoch and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud, the main contributor to the Islamic Center near ground zero?

The far left majority over reaching? Does that include the current administration who passed the health care bill that will cover 32 million Americans and will cut the deficit by $140 billion in the first 10 years and create competitive insurance markets in every state and will make it illegal for insurers to turn you away or jack up premiums due to pre-existing conditions and will pay doctors for quality rather than volume? Which instituted financial regulation? Which gave us the stimulus and economic relief with expansions of Medicaid, COBRA, food stamps, tax cuts, unemployment benefits to hundreds of millions of Americans.

Who started 75,000 infrastructure projects including digitalization of medical records, renewable energy investments, the saving of General Motors and the Race to the Top program. A leader? Yes, I, too, have a mother who taught me to be open minded and listen to more than one news source.
