Nothing gets done in DC thanks to your Tea Party friends. However since they can't dictate his foreign policy that's where you see action. Obama has taken 1/2 the vacations that Mr. Crawford Texas George W ever did. Obama utilized NATO which ain't a bad idea. Cowboy diplomacy and going it alone isn't the best idea.

Obama made the right call in Libya and also in taking out Bin Laden - despite a 50/50 chance. You "Tea Drinkers" all would have been asking for Obama's impeachment if the operation to kill Osama failed. You would have been saying this is Jimmy Carter all over again! Why can't you give the POTUS some cred?

I don't consider our govt spending to be "massive and ever expanding". As the largest economy and being the largest industrialized nation, with respect to our GDP we spend roughly 39.97 percent on our govt, which is well below other democracies. Your Tea Party friends would like to introduce a balanced budget amendment capping spending at 18% which would put us on par to the likes of the Philipines other Plutocracies. The cards are stacked in the top 1%'s favor. The wealthy have only a 15% Capital Gains Tax, 35% Top Federal Income Tax Bracket, Loopholes, and other method's of tax mitigation. Not to mention since the wealthy have a lot of cash they likely have good credit and therefore can take advantage of these historically low interest rates. The top 1% control 35% of all wealth in our country, the next 19% control 51%, the bottom 80% have 15%. Our friend who owns the Buffalo News, Warren Buffett said it best when he said he paid a lower tax percentage than his secretary. We all pay a Regressive tax on cosumption gas, food, clothes, etc. We are in an era of extreme wage gap inequality between those of the top 1% and the bottom 98%. While worker producivity in America is at an all-time high, since 1979 wage growth for the bottom 98% has barely kept on track with inflation. Don't believe me than perhaps you should read this report written in 2006 by two respected economists highlighting the concern they had over "The Growing Gap Between Productivity and Earnings". http://www.national-economists.org/news/bernstein_paper.pdf. Since Ronald Reagon came into office our country has gone along with the prevalent thought of "Trickle Down Economics". Across the board tax cuts for the rich would benefit our country because they would spend more, thus creating jobs. Problem with this is, you give a guy a tax cut he can only consume so much because of the limitation of time. 10 people have more time than 1 person. Problem with "Reagononmics" is that you can't stimulate an economy in reverse. It's time to stimulate from the bottom up via jobs which requires Federal Stimulus and massive expansion of rebuilding our countries infrastructure for the 21st century. You see our main problem isn't political idealogy, it's tax ambiguity that allows for this injustice to continue. The wealthy make more than enough to be taxed at a higher progressive percentage.

Mallett wouldn't work in CG offense and behind our OL. Love that kids arm and football IQ tho.

absolutely, and consider the alternative imagine no taxes. Government cannot exist without revenue. Corporations even in the purest form of laissez-faire economics have proven time and again that they are incapable of acting on the people's best interests. See Adelphia, Global Crossing, Enron, Goldman Sachs, BOA, Halliburton, Exxon-Mobil, etc. While you have bitten into the anti-govt rhetoric that your Tea Party friends spew, you give little consideration to what life would be like without government.

It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. I see the parade leaving town after Ralph passes.

Perry would be a welcomed opponent by Obama, not even mentioning George W comparisons this guy will have a difficult time earning the key independent voters that are required to win a general election. The more we keep off Perry, the quicker he will beat out the GOP field! Let's keep our powder dry!

LOL! You sound like a "tea" drinker. Allow me to clarify a few things: real unemployment is more like 12.5% (many baby-boomers like my dad born in '46 are now retiring), our deficits are due in part to the Bush Tax cuts I remember a certain Vice President Cheney who was quoted as saying "deficits don't matter", remember Clinton handed over budget surpluses to Bush W, 2 wars in iraq and afghanistan (one justified by harboring 9/11 attackers, the other unjustified due to erroneious WMD), declining international influence excuse me please clarify (Obama is well received internationally, and has executed a winning foreign policy and he even made the final call to "take out" Bin Laden & went against many in his base in supporting the rebels in Libya despite Lindsay Graham & John McCain as recently as 2 years ago going to Libya in support of Gaddafi, gas hit an all-time under Bush in the late summer of '08, and dipped under $2 per gallon in January '09 after the "unregulated" banking industry crashed our economy, inflation is actually near an all-time low thanks to record low taxes and interest rates have you refinanced your home recently? We can throw sand at each other all day, the problem is their are certain people who would like to see nothing more than our economy to fail and Obama to go with it, these folks tend to be from the Neo-Con Tea Party Right Wing. As a business owner myself the question I ask you is, with taxes and interest rates near an all-time low why aren't businesses and the super wealthy "stimulating" our economy? The facts are they are scared or politically motivated and they are sitting on 2 Billion dollars of cash, hence the Fed Chairman Ben Bernake has had to utilize QE2 to pump cash into the markets to add liquidity that the top 2% are failing to provide. "Trickle Down Reagonomics is a failing policy. I say increase taxes back to 39.5% and eliminate the corporate loopholes for companies like General Electric and their 0 percent taxes paid in 2010 and then you'll start seeing growth.

i'd buy her a drink.

I like Ralph Wilson and I respect his generous contributions to medical research. Ralph's vision, hearing, body, and mind are not what they were 10 or 20 years ago. With age comes decline, no matter what we all wear down with time. There has to be an explanation to our mismanagement these past 10 plus years. No 92 year old man regardless of how much Sudoku, Chess, or mental excersize he performs is capable of outperforming a younger more mentally acute man. There has got to come a time when one hits a wall of regression. Jerry Jones won't be the same owner at 92 that he is now. Even the great Robert Kraft will not be the same owner. Clearly Ralph is somewhat involved, but he needs to stay out of the way. It seems to me that for every good decision Ralph makes, he makes 2 bad decisions. This ratio eventually sets you back. Since life is all about choices. The bottom-line is we are in the situation we're in as a franchise because we have let a senior citizen make too many operational and tactical decisions without having a Parcell's like figure to dictate policy in the organization.

This has got to be reason #1 for keeping the Bills in WNY!

Always deal from a position of strength, I'd say trade McGee for a 3rd, or if they want McKelvin a 2nd. Gotta keep 1 of em.

I think you'd have a problem when he'd have more support from the alumni (Kelly & Thomas) then his own players in the locker room. Not to mention Tebow doesn't have an NFL position. Tebow is a project as he needs time to develop either as a QB, or Safety, Linebacker, Fullback, Tight End or Special Teamer. About the only natural position for Tebow would be fullback or tight end and he has indicated he has no interest playing either.

I'm fine with the new jersey and think the white helmet is cool. I would have prefered us to go permanently to the throwback jerseys with the old logo.

Yoho, can't fault you for being optimistic. Whatever happens this season we all want our team to win. I'll take 7-9 if it meant playoffs (like Seatle did last year)!

Spot on OLDTIMER, the Bills Tight End position is awful, and Fitz will have a hard time solidifying the job infront of such a weak line and missing his deep threat in Evans. I am more concerned with the coaching and seeing how they will put this all together.

Fred Jackson is a better running back than CJ Spiller. I would advocate using FJ & CJ as a solid 1-2 punch combo, with Fred carrying the load and CJ coming in as a change of pace. CJ has much to show to advocate the starting role.

McKelvin equals fail!

if we trade fitz for tebow we will be the one's who panicked.

This line is 2 draft picks, and everyone's castoffs, I believe that is a recipe for disaster. We would be 2 times better if we picked up Bulaga instead of CJ Spiller. Not to mention drafting a Left Tackle instead of Maybin. We've wasted so many picks on little whimps Donte, Lynch, McKelvin, Maybin, CJ.

Hey Scrappy in Madden he'd be one of those guys whose Vision is closer to 0 than it is 100. Yikes this guy is an idiot! Hopefully Johnny White can come back soon.

we just sucked tonight

I heard Goodell told him not to go to Buffalo or Cincy

The thing that concerns me with Spiller is the label that he isn't intelligent. I know some will say it doesn't take intelligence to run, but I'm willing to wager most smaller backs need to have a mental edge. Brandon Jacobs, Christian Okoye and the big bruiser types are one-dimensional downhill runners and don't need to or are asked to do as much as a small back. I think Fred Jackson is more versatile and can be the lead guy for the next 2-3 seasons if he stays healthy.
