Sheep, you're a few hours behind the curve.

And CNN is 6 months behind.

Hi Hoff and Diane,

Actually not a newbie, just a new name. Signif. of article wasn't content but fact that it was posted on cnnfn! Sorry if that missed you! Hoff your a bit of a jerk really, not for your views but for your attitude. You'd do a lot better if you were nice to folks. Heck they might even believe you once in a while.

Sheep, this is an IMPORTANT FACT that you point out. WHY did CNN post this article to their web site?

CNN does very little on important issues without their direct news wire feed from the WH.
