 Cenk Uygar "New poll numbers out on George W. Bush. He has broken a record. He's in the teens. He's in the teens! Nineteen percent approval rating. Unheard of for a president...!
"Remember when Nixon left office? He was at 24%. He resigned in disgrace with a 24% approval rating. Bush is at 19%. Wow!
"His disapproval rating is 77%. But to be fair, if you look at just the registered voters - now I know they're not going to be voting for Bush but believe me that's going to affect the Republican nominee - the approval rating is 18%. It's even worse!" |

 Barack Obama Barack Obama: "I thank the Moses Generation, but we've got to remember now, that Joshua still had a job to do. We're gonna leave it to the Joshua Generation to make sure it happens."
Representative Artur Davis (D-Alabama): "He appreciates and I appreciate that we're the successor generation. The generation of African-Americans before us had to struggle in a very valiant way for things that we take for granted."
"Mr Obama and many of his political contemporaries represent what many see as a new type of black politician. They're leading the generation of African-Americans who came of age after the civil-rights movement..." |

 Bill Clinton Bill Clinton: "Much of what we need to do is economical now if we can get organized and we can get after it. For example - you tell me which is more valuable - forget about climate change:
"A statement that says we are going to reduce the AIDS death rate by 15% in the next ten years. A statement. And then you have all these meeting and you try to figure out how you're gonna do that.
"Or the establishment of the Global Fund on AIDS, TB and Malaria which actually provides funding to keep people to keep people alive and reduce the death rate..." |

 Jason Snell Jason Snell, MacWorld Editorial Director: "...what we're going to talk about is something a little newsier, namely the release of the MacBook Air. It was announced at MacWorld Expo, on January 15th, and it's arrived. I have one right here. Oooo, it's very thin.
"...The MacBook Air is thin and light. That is what it's all about. If you're somebody who cares more about processor speed and a big hard drive and lots of flexibility, lots of options when you order it on the Apple Store, you're not gonna get that with this product.

"In 2006, the world consumed more the 30 billion barrels. Oil in many ways is the be all and end all of our modern way of life. It's the very basis of all economic activity. From the cars we drive to the food we eat that travels for miles before it gets to our plate. Oil is even used to make microchips. So, it's everywhere."

"So, has oil really peaked? And is it all downhill from here? Max Keiser went to the desert in search of answers..." |
