Okay, so apparently you don't like the guy. However, don't you find it intriguing that in a sit down interview, without a prepared script, he would initiate this topic on his own? He's obviously given the issue some thought.

Whether or not this translates into a policy initiative is another matter.
Tozz is just as biased as the people who don't like Obama.

Don't let Obama's charisma fool you into thinking his advisors do not educate him on every single subject he should and should not broach in an "interview," the interviewer has to have his/her questions approved by Obama's "people" before the interview takes place.

Why can't I make a comment such as I did without me being labeled as not liking the man?

Since when every comment about our current President has got to be a supportive one?

I won't apologize for not being a fan of every policy and/or initiative he stands for.

Also, I will not be politically-correct either.

Lastly, of course he had better given this issue some thought, he's the President, I would sure as hell hope he gives every topic some bit of thought; or at least his speechwriters

Okay, okay, so maybe you like the guy; maybe you don't. I don't want to turn this into a political discussion. I am sort of mystified as to why you keep mentioning "speechwriter" involvement in a sit-down interview. Likewise, I am curious as to why you think the questions were approved in advance. As a factual matter, that is incorrect. There might be the usual scoping discussion beforehand (i.e. the questions will be about health care, or foreign policy), but no reputable news organization would submit to such conditions. A former soon-to-be ex-governor probably wishes that she was able to review Katie Couric's questions in advance, I betcha.

My original point was merely to mention that males in nursing is at least peripherally on the current administration's radar. We probably share a similar opinion, though, as to whether this will result in actual policy change.

Sounds like you are turning it into a political blog.

Well said. If you criticize Obama your labeled a hater or a racist, not fair. When Bush was in office every loon under the sun said horrible things and was not called out on it. I didn't agree with certain policies of the last Bush Administration, nor do I agree with certain policies of this administration. I don't hate Barry Obama, but I don't see the world the way he does. Whether you agree or not, he is a very liberal individual who is rapidly expanding the size of government and will eventually raise taxes on every American under the sun.

The treatment that Mrs. Palin received by the main stream media is abhorrent. She is a smart, attractive, decent woman, a true role model for young women.

I couldn't agree more; she was an easy target. That's a whole other argument unfortunately.

It was "cool" to bash Bush in his day, but now you are looked upon as an outsider from another planet if you criticize B.O..
