If you ever worry about the future of America, there is no need: it is in good hands. A high school student named Angela is proof of that. We think you'll agree she is nothing short of amazing. CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman met her on the road.

This is great!!! People have much to look forword to with this girl around. We really need more people like her.

June 12, 1994 | MARTIN MILLER, SPECIAL TO THE TIMES To 9-year-old Noemi Rodriquez, Disneyland wasn't such a small world after all. Barely 4 feet tall, the elementary school student from Janitzio, Mexico, remembered staring up at the 147-foot-high Matterhorn on a recent sunny afternoon.

Summary of the address to the nation last night. Can you find items that show a Liberal ideology? Link to the full speech text can be found @ http://goo.gl/bTTr0 (with a cool Wordle) What did you guys think?

The "Buffett Rule" is one of the most interesting subjects from the speech. Raise taxes on rich, but keep taxes the same from middle and lower class. Yes, this would absolutely help America get out of debt, but I do not believe that this would help the middle/lower classes. As the writer said, they need to lower the middle/lower classes taxes to make a major change to out economic situation

So far most of what he is saying makes sense and is reasonable. I just don't think he will follow through with it, seldom do political figures accomplish what they say, how they say they will go about getting things done. He thinks the wealthier people (making $1,000,000) should pay at least 30% of taxes while the 98% of Americans that make only $250,000 a year should pay the taxes we do now, not an increased tax which simply cannot be paid by some.(The Buffett Rule)

i saw this on the internet and i really wanna see this if its a new one

By Scott Boeck and Katharine Lackey, USA TODAY STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - They gathered around the bronze statue of their former football coach shortly after the news spread Sunday morning. Less than a mile away from Beaver Stadium, Joe Paterno died at Mount Nittany Medical Center at the age of 85.

This SotU address will be the most important one Obama has given to date. Laying out the blueprint for the rest of this term will play a major factor in the campaign for the presidency again

I would encourage everyone to peek in (it will be on the major network stations) @ 8:00pm our time. Certainly all the media outlets will be dissecting his speech by this time tomorrow!

I haven't filed my taxes for 2011, so I can't be sure but I think don't think I made that much this year. On the "bright side" I won't have to pay $6 million unless my tax guy screws up pretty badly. As the article points out, this makes Romney part of the top 1%... but paying a lower percentage of taxes than most Americans.

updated 2:16 AM EST, Tue January 24, 2012 Washington (CNN) -- A formal arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday for an Idaho man charged with firing a rifle at the White House in an attempt at assassinating the president. Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez is expected to enter a plea on the 17 charges he faces Tuesday afternoon in federal court in Washington.

That's pretty "low-jack"ed up.

I think that they should need a warrant to be able to track your car with a GPS..

Interesting article, the pressure from website blackouts seemed to have sent a message to many representatives in Congress. Wait and see what the votes look like next week.
