I just check the poll and Obama is probably having his best day today. Check realclear politics.
Also 'if that signals real trouble ahead'.
What about McCain. It's always Obama Obama Obama Obama.

My comments never gets posted never!!!!!!!!!!

hi anderson/erica/all – its nice to be able to join in the blog tonight...looking forward to watching the show as it happens rather than downloading the podcast...

Over 100 million dollars???? Man, now that's some dough! To be honest, I could care less about how much money they made, I mean, I make a lot of money and I don't care....

But yep, doing business is good...

Looks like a great show tonight!

*Anderson, Kelly Ripa was all over you and Renee Zellweger is after you too! Wow! Good decision btw, not participating in the awkward exercises that Kelly tried to make you do; you maintained your dignity. It was a very funny show! Gold star for you, Anderson!

Happy Friday Anderson and Erica! Looking forward to an action-packed show with the release of the Clinton tax returns (especially Bill’s connection to Dubai) and the Mark Penn/Columbia con

Hey AC, Erica, and bloggers, TGIF

I would never hold it against anyone for making a lot of money. It's theirs and unless you can find some criminal reason they have it, I'd say good for them.

Hi Anderson, Erica and Bloggers!

Well I knew they had to have money but good grief 109 million over 7 years? Im lucky to live on 30k a year. How she can play the i understand card to middle income people is beyond me. Doesnt seem like shes had it too tough IMO.

Mark Penn should be fired as thats hypocritical with all that has happened and I still believe she does support NAFTA even though she claims she doesnt. Guess Bosnia misspeak is harming her still.

Whats up tolu. It looks like its going to be a good show, lots of new info from the candidates, especially Hillary, interested to see what is in there.

The Clinton's making over a 100 million dollars does not surprise me. I got an email the other day from American Express Front of the Line about a dinner Bill Clinton would be at in Toronto and the minimum was like $150.00 so you know Bill is ranking in the money any time he speaks

It's quite surprise that , in this country, politicians do not have to show any tax statement. In my home country, all politicians are required to show tax statement by law...

jacqui i totally agree lol

Did Anderson's book bring in 30 million?

This is the candidate that state she is going to make "Affordable" health care mandatory and garnish our wages if we can't afford her affordability.

good evening everyone

What is the suggestion – that the Clintons should not file taxes according to the same tax code as the rest of us? All former Presidents in recent years make big bucks for speaking engagements.

I don't get where all the money comes from...is it personal income, money from funding given, where does that much money come from?

They need to go over her returns with a magnifying glass and a fine tooth comb.

And, Anderson are you wearing a blue or red tie? Haha, its blue on TV but red on the webcam =D

Anderson, you said candidates are not required to release tax info. Then why would voters care?

Honestly, it's hard to surprise me, especially when it comes to politicians and money. What influenzes their actions really emphasizes the downward fall of the economic situation which leads to people putting doubt in the leaders that are supposed to be building trust as "primary citizens."

I don't care how much money they make as long as they aren't affiliated with big oil and such in any way. Err, or are they?

Good evening Anderson and Erica! It's Friday! Yoohoo!!

It's interesting that Bill Clinton got that money from the holding company with ties to Dubai. Is is possible, or just naivete to think he did not know who was tied to that money?

The CNN computers are working tonight YEA!!!!!!!!!

Anderson,
I also agree with Jacqui too and you are funny!

His tie does look reddish. Ha

The Clintons are typical political people. What they say is not what they do.

The Clintons have given over 10 Million in charity which is around 10 % of their income.This is very generous on their parts and is in line with the caring and compassionate candidate Hillary is.

wow 30 million dollars in taxes alone.Years of medical school and residency and I'll never make 1/1000th of that kind of income even if I was on call every other day!

thats about 348 times what my family has mad in seven years... interesting....
wow

The Clintons worked for there money, why is this an issue. Mccain's wife is rich from a beer company so what. Obama wrote books too.
What does this have to do with fixing the economy, creating jobs and fixing the problems that face everyone today. Please get real when we see OB bowling and milking a cow and eating hot dogs and beer, how is that going to help people.Where is the plan.
Vote for Hillary and forget the rethoric.

thanks michael – its interesting to see how much money the clintons actually have but i didnt think they were 'poor' or even just 'comfortable' so cant say im surprised. it is a huge sum though but kudos to them... they should just have been more up-front with it all and not delayed. i like david gergen's point...they do give back.

Am I the only who thinks that Warren Jeffs has the "ick" factor?

When I think about the atrocious things he has done, it grosses me out and makes me shudder!

Wait...a senator in NY makes 1M a year yet the President of the United States only makes 200K? Aren't salaries capped for congress?

10% is what most religious ??organizations?? say is a good amount.

Thats a great point Gergen made, you have to consider how much the Clintons give back as well.

Since we now know how much the Clinton's gave to charity and taxes, I would be curious to know how much Obama and McCain gave as well. Do you have that information?

Carl is 100% correct! This is NOT transparency.

Oh no not Carl!! Lets see what negative spin he can put on Hillary!!

G'day from Australia ! Just want to say that unfortunately, the Live Studio Webcam video can't be viewed here in Oz... anything CNN can do about that ? Are all other international viewers finding the same ?

Tracey,
you are so funny!

I know that I'm not savvy when it comes to politics, but why is it such a big deal for the candidates to release their tax returns? Don't we already know that they make alot more money than we do?

yeah Carly it was great.
*Anderson really should give his peop's a head's up when he is make an appearance on a funny show – ya hear that Anderson (ya know on your blog).
*Erica, you are also very funny & interesting. When are you gonna make an appearance on a talk show?

I agree. No transparency. I believe that they are hiding a lot, and they are hoping that it won’t come out until it is too late.

What does it really matter what the Clinton's made!?

Cynthia, Ga.

You guys think is important for Hillary??? I mean, I don't know, there's gotta be more to it in order for I think for something to come out. But I will say is interesting though......

Fast comment
Why are we going after the Clinton's on thier earnings? WHO CARES!!!
They work hard, make great money and donated far more I would say than most in thier income bracket...As well they paid thier fare share in taxes. Remember Obama and and the oh so small percentage he donated??? As a Canadian citizen we up north made far more money when we had a Clinton in the white house, and we are looking forward to making more when Hillary moves in.

I think it will be more interesting to see where the earmarks went and then compare that to the Clinton Foundation doner list.

I'd much rather my President make money and be financially well-off, than to end up in poverty. It sorta makes America look better to the rest of the world if the previous leader of the free world was able to participate in the free market. I say, good for them!

From what I understand the lecture circuit is very big business!

Carl is right. There is little or no transparency where the Clintons are concerned and there is every reason to believe that we'll never know the truth about their finances or anything else.

You answered my question right as I was asking it- thanks!

Wow...Erica really brought some light in for McCain too, these numbers are astounding! I could only imagine...

Well Megan I didn't want to pin hole anyone faith, especially my own.

GO HILLARY !!! – So you now have the tax returns – what can the obama group complain about now??
Looks like the Clinton's give lots to charity! Much more so than the Obama's – but – I guess that would be OK.
The new Polls are out – shows Clinton/Obama tied – so I guess she is doing well – maybe Obama should get out – For The Good Of the Party – Seems fair – right???? We would not want to drag this voting process out – let's not count all the votes. IF the votes in FL & MI are counted – Hillary will win the popular vote. Obama knows this, so he now will play fair – he knows it will take these states to win.
Keep Up the Good Fight Hillary – YOU Can win!

Hillary's tax returns will give Obama something else to whine about.

Good evening, Anderson! Happy Friday!

I don't blame Hillary for not wanting to release her tax returns. People will always find something to hound her about even if she did no wrong!

Cynthia, Ga.

Anderson, ever notice how much richer all politicians are after they leave office vs. when they entered? It's amazing how they can make thousands yet when they retire, get voted out, or whatever theyr'e multi-millionaires.

Anderson .. is Ralph Nader still running for President?

Erica, will we be seeing Anderson's Live with Regis and Kelly antics on "What were they thinking?" tonight ?

hmm... so the McCaines may be worth more than 100 million... is that as much as you Anderson?

Im in Texas and I feel that Ick factor with Warren Jeffs too. I think the worst was the waco situation since its so close to where I live.

Hey Anderson,

Ya Ya Ya, polygamy news!

The Clintons gave over 10 million to charity–no other candidate has been so generous. Why their income matters is beyond me- when you're an ex-president, you command top dollar at speaking events, they all do. Other than the fact that the media loves a chance to read something into Hillary's like and campaign that just isn't there, I don't know why this matters. Of course, CNN is leading the charge, as usual. What happened to "Keeping them Honest", Anderson? Practice what you preach and start reporting this campaign fairly.

@Delaun: It's not that they work hard for their money. It's who gives them the money and why. If Hillary wants to be President, we need to know who may want something in return for their donation.

Wait a minute! We're doing pix now? Hey, Anderson Cooper just what exactly are you up to? So now everyone is supposed to post a pic. Simon says...

Cute photo by the way. Have a good show.

Jacqueline, NY

I don't get it...how can some people say that there is practically no chance for Clinton, while others say she has a better chance than Obama? I must seriously be confused, every time you think you get one strait, the newest polls come out and flip-flop your theory...

$109 million – wow! The Clintons are more than a tenth of the way to being billionnaires! With that kind of dough, I think it's time for them to switch their registration to the GOP!

I think I need to write a book and speak to people if thats all it takes to make that much money seriously..

Molly

Its a lot easier to give $10 million when you made $109 million.

It looks like the Bush years have been good to the Clintons.

anderson why do you insist on refering to wrigth story whenever obama goes down and when clinton loses in the polls no mention of bosnia, you are not fair as much as you claim to be be, what a shame

The Clintons made $109M....good for them....there is nothing wrong with earning lots of money. She released her tax returns and Carl Bernstein is still not happy.

Anderson – I'm glad that you "compared" all the candidates' income. However, you didn't mention ANYTHING about the Baracks only contributing 2-3% of their income to charity. Also, all of the charities were "black". The Clinton's paid their fair share of taxes and contributed 10% to a diverse group of charities. Now, come-on – don't be as biased as some of the other "talking heads". Also, I'm in the process of reading Bernstein's book – it seems a shame that he's making so much money off of someone he so obviously has little regard for. Remember, PLAY FAIR!

I think some of the lustre of Obama have worn off from the public, if not the press, and now people are starting to ask questions about whether he is experienced enough, how liberal he is, and how his "new politics" message actually holds up with his record. He has no record of working across the aisle in his short senate career. He has no foreign policy experience and the argument that he made a speech against the war and therefore has better"judgement" is the flimsiest excuse for experience I've ever heard. Collin Powell speech at the UN had more to do with the country going to war than Clinton's but you don't hear anyone doubting his experience and in fact Obama has consulted with him.Also it's no surprise he was against the war -I'm pretty sure Rev Wright was-

Ok Tracey,
Molly,
Thanks! I also agree with you too.

I don't believe anything that polls say but I do think the Wright scandal hurt Obama.

Cynthia, Ga.

Anderson,
Why when you discuss Obama's poll numbers tanking you always talk about Rev. Wright and showing video of the Rev? Do you do the same when you talk about Hillary and her numbers tanking by showing her lying about Sniper Fire and Bosnia while showing a video? Is CNN showing bias in reporting?

Thanks,
Dave

To David Gergen and Candy :
I do thank you for your objectivity . It's refreshing on an Obama-biased show.
Post Scriptum : I really do hope CNN will post this comment. this time ( I tried it before, without success...) CNN seems to fear Clinton supporters ...

Hi, Anderson, first let me say it's not the Clinton's White House, it's Hillary's White House! Please stop comparing them and saying they are both going to run the White House! Hillary has proven she can do very well on her own!
And... if they have made a lot of money, Great! that shows they are very good with economy and that's what we need in the White House, a smart woman, a fighter, hard worker and filled with the know how on how to run our ailing country!

Just tuned in saw Rev. Wright clip, now tuning out when you move past that tired story e-mail me I will watch again.

Happy Friday, everyone. Never a dull moment on the trail, eh?

It would be nice to fast forward to September/October.

What happened to Erica's piece on John McCain?

The Clintons deserve the money they have. They have given back a lot to this nation.

Also do You think Rowland Martin could loose his voice until Nov5th

Why all the focus on polls? Are they really relevant when they're this close? I feel like you guys are just doing filler until Pennsylvania.

I would like to see the Media go after Obama like they do the Clinton's. Is it because Hillary is white? And if they go after Obama does that mean your a racist? Come on America...We Canadian's and the rest of the world shake our heads at how this is being done.

did anyone see hillary on leno??? thoughts anyone???

I thnk that the income tax returns are a good thing for Hillary, but in the days to come count on researchers to tear them apart.

I agree with you Terri

Hi Anderson First time on the live blog.I love your show!
Michelle.Ontario,Canada.

I can see that anderson feedson the story of wright.

I can't wait to see Anderson do some more exciting stories, by the time Nov. comes we will be political news junkies or zombies.

Anderson,

Re; Concerning "softening" of polls for Obama

Tonight, one of CNN's guests stated that this race is like a pregnant woman on the verge of having a baby. People are tired. The airwaves are filled with so much politics.

You are not getting a true look at how people think.

And, PLEASE stop showing the Rev. Wright video. The pastors and leaders of the church has requested that your network cease the lopping of the damaging video. This is a clear message to your viewers that your news station does not have enough new information to fill the air time.

What did Obama & McCain donate to charity? Disparity between this tax return information and that of Clinton. How about parallel and unbiased reporting!

Three cheers for Hillary – she hit a homeroom with her tax
disclosure! Now I suppose they will find something else to pick
with her.

Why all this focus on polls when their track record hasn't been very accurate this year?

Any substance behind the Drudge allegation that the money the Clinton's gave to charity went to the Clinton foundation? Not that that's a sin in and of itself, the organization does some great work, but it does seem to undermine the purely benevolent appearance of the contribution. And, does he draw a salary from the foundation?

Hey Anderson, If I made over a hundred mill I could afford to give away 10 mill. But for Hillary to say she understands where the middle to low income workers are coming from is a crock. She can afford to pay $10.00 a gallon for gas and buy the best of everything. The donation they made to charity was to their own Clinton family charity, nice.

Lin -– I couldn't agree more with you. Wish more people would.

welcome back to the blog Erica.....thank goodness for good IT guys

Gee Anderson.. Have you or Mr Bernstein ever looked into our current Vice Presidents money? Unbid Contracts for Iraq war? Does he still have ties to Halliburton? What was his wifes role in Enron.?

Mr Gergen was right, they paid more taxes than most, gave away ALOT to charities , and it is a complex world economy. If she gets elected, she will have to do the blind trust also, and so will he. Just like last time and every other President.

You say you don't take sides, but could you do us all a favor? If you are biased and don't like them, that's your right, but DISCLOSE IT. Be forthcoming. State your view and reasons for them rather than keep them hidden. Just like the Congresswoman from Ohio said last night, you and your show are better than this. Disclose your bias. Do as you say

the Obamas only began to give after Barack declared for President. that's a fact you can check for accuracy

All that can be said is that the Clintons make a lot of money. So do a lot of other people. The problem is that the Clintons suffer from moral bankruptcy.

Erica: Glad to see you blogging again. Must have gotten your computer fixed.

We're going for the upset baby!!! Is about winning the state and boy, am I goping for an upset....I still got time though, I still got time.

Bernstein always trashes Clinton. He hates her. Why do you let him do that? It isn't fair.

Thats what I want to know Lorie! Erica, I was really looking forward to your coverage on McCain. He needs some time as well.

Didn't most of Clinton charity donations went to their fondation

What's the big fuss over their income? Bill has made most of it doing speeches and writing his books. Thirty million sounds generous to me for charity.

I think if states voted again Hillary would win...........you people dont understand how much people are upset with obama

WHY DDINT OBAMA GO TO MEMPHIS! THATS DISGRACEFUL!

I agree with Mr. Bernstein's opinion. I think primary election process for both party is too long, so we don't know what could happen if all parimary elections are held now. Therefore, I wish the elections are held in a same day...

I'm from Michigan and I've totally lost interest in a re-vote. I'm glad the state as decided to move on.

The comment about raising high income taxes being against the Clintons' interest was unfair: every person who drops a dollar in the collection plate at work acts against their selfish interest.

Yeah, Cindy...........
Me either! I couldn't believe that polls about Wright toward Obama......

I have been wondering the same thing about Obama riding out time for Michigan to have another primary. So, if they don't have another primary, does that mean the state will be seated at the convention with each candidate getting half the delegates?

On a side note, every time David and Carl are on the same panel, all I can think about is "The Final Days". Carl and Bob Woodward wrote about him. I find that cool/creepy.

Ok…so McCain apologizes (24 years later) for making a mistake regarding voting against the Dr. Martin Luther King holiday. But is it also a mistake when McCain panders back and forth on the use of the confederate flag and endorses the white supremacist George Wallace, Jr.???

Support the Democratic Party all the way to the White House!!!

I think the earning of $109m is not the issue. To me, the matter is whether or not they earned the money "above board".... Y'know, no connections with the likes of Halliburtons or Blackwater contract renewals etc etc ?!!!!?

no harm in making lots of money, right? But can they really feel our pain?

Oops that was thirty million for taxes and ten for charity. I still think it is generous.

I really don’t understand how people say that 360 is biased… I just don’t see it.

I'd just like to say that when you make less money you can't donate as much of it to charity. That's probably why Obama only donated 2-3% instead of 10%. The Obamas made 1/10 of what the Clintons made.

O.O Whoa....that picture is messed up.

I have seen the footage of McCain apologizing for not supporting MLK Day and I could distinctly hear people say things like "We forgive you" and "We all make mistakes". Please don't make it sound like they were ALL heckling and booing him.

Without knowing the details, on the surface, they have contributed 10% of their tidings over to charity. This is admirable. In addition they paid very healthy taxes on their earnings. Now look at it this way; the Clinton's left the WH iwith a debt of $12 million and turned a profit. This is exactly why we need them back in the oval office. If anyone can turn a deficit around and create a surplus, it will be the Clintons. Give me eight more years of that...PLEASE!

yeah Steve, I have been wanting to hear more on Ralph Nader as well!
It is a bit difficult to multi task, not used to it anymore i guess.
reading all the blogs, following the show – most importantly, watching the blog cam and commenting.
How do Erica & Anderson do it all!

I feel that Sneator Mccain should have not gone so deep into his past judgement. anothe rclear picture that he cannot break the ice in any conversation, and if he tries it always will blunder

Thats just a personal view

Wow, that poor store clerk! I thought my day was tough- but it was nothing compared to his!

Anderson dear, not enough Hillary bashing yet? Unbiased are you?Probably just as much as Carl Bernstein with his ad infinitum book.

Same question as Michael in NC. I think the Clinton/Obama slugfest will hurt the Democrats in the long run! Hope they get it together soon before the Democrats lose our chance to win the White House,

If I just heard correctly, McCain has not released his returns? Where is the outcry for him to do the same – that is, the outcry from the media who are leading the conversation around taxes.

why do some people stereotype GOP candidates as wealthy, when it's clear Edwards, Clinton, et al. are also wealthy?

To Barbara and Hillary's Book Bag: I think Obama donated to his church, among other things.

@bernice – Amen! I live on disability income due to numerous health problems. No way can Hillary with all of her millions relate to my situation.

Clinton's percentage of charitable giving is actually the norm (10 percent)

Hey Anderson!! I love your show! Are you going to talk about Obama and Hillary being in Butte, Montana tomorrow night. They are going to be at the Civic Center for a Democratic Dinner.

Sara i agree with you. In fact that is the reason I started watching 360°...

As far as the Clinton's tax return is concerned I have no problem with amount of money that they made. But please how she can look people in the eyes and act like she didn't know that they are multi-millionares is beyond me. Nor do I believe that President Clinton will ever completely get rid of his investment. They are not to be trusted. Typical rich people.

@Laura in NC: I couldn't agree with you more. It seems like every time you turn around there is a new poll and the worst part is that they almost never agree. I don't even listen to it anymore.

I had no idea Cindy McCain was so wealthy. Very interesting

They can probably feel our pain just as much as McCain or Obama. Bill Clinton was not wealthy at all growing up in Hope Arkansas.

I don't think the Clintons' income says anything about the kind of president she would be. They're not regular folks now and they weren't when they owed big bucks on Bill's lawyers, either. Watch who they spend their unguarded moments with. Those are the people whose interests will be well represented if/when the Clintons go back to the White House. I think that's true of all but a handful of politicians.

HI, Lorie Ann. Stay tuned for the McCain piece! We'll be bringing it to you very soon.

Awww! Obama as a kid is so cute!

If Obama had gone to Memphis, people would be upset that he is playing the race card. Obama just can't please come of Hillary's fans

Just because a candiate raises 100 million, doesnt' mean they earned it – the Obamas are still not wealthy by Wash. standards.

We should be happy that Jolhn McCain saw the error of his ways! Better late than never!

I dont understand why CNN reporters are so harsh with McCain and Hilary Clinton; yet, Obama can do no wrong!
Its almost hard to watch when the bias is so rampant!
Whats the deal with Carl Bernstein - its as if he has a personal vendetta against Hillary. I know CNN and MSNBC wants Obama to win, but the bias is too overwhelming!
I cant believe Obama didnt go to Memphis! If Hillary and McCain didnt go there, CNN reporters would have been screaming and foaming at the mouth!
I think its disgusting that CNN cant be fair! CNN is like Pravda when the Soviets were in charge! If Obama is the better candidate , let the people decide! STOP TRYING TO RIG ELECTIONS! THIS IS AMERICA, NOT A DICTATORSHIP!

Obama is running away from being tagged a Black candidate and is getting good at it.

Thank God Obama did not go to Memphis today. When I heard in last night's documentary that the killer of Martin Luther King could be still at large, I prayed that Obama would not go.

She made such a issue of loaning her campaign 5 million dollars and her poor supports sent her their hard earned money to pay down her debt, bet they wish they could get a refund, LOL

A sucker is born everyday, right Billary

Somehow I doubt Hillary can remember what happen on that day, she can't seem to remember last week, last month, or eight years ago.

My message never gets posted but I will give it one last try. I really can care less about how rich people make their money. I just want to put someone who I believe really want to bring change and has compassion for all people - like Sen. Obama.

What a cute little boy Obama was...........he was 6 or so when Dr. King was shot. Is this really part of his biography?

How will $109 million play with the working class voters of Pennsylvania? The Clinton campaign should be worried.
Liane
Toronto, Ontario

Go Hillary!!! She is carrying the torch to continue the dream!

While it's true that someone with $100M could afford to give $10M away to charity, whether or not they would actually do it is the question. There's no doubt that the Clintons were very generous.

Jacob,
That right! Shame on Obama............. Never gonna there in Memphis.

Stacey- thank you for acknowledging that. I support McCain slightly, but I do feel for both dem candidates, I mean, they have not pushed their own odds further, rather, they seem to be pushing backwards and need to turn around to get a good finish.

Only because someone makes a lot of money doesn't mean they don't care about poorer people! What's up with the rich-people-resentment here?

so,
why wasn't Obama in Memphis today? does he think he has all the black voters so can ignore an important day? Or did he think it's time to snag the white voters?
his arrogance is annoying! Hillary is tough and goes for the gold and I support her 100%

Anderson:

Where are you??? I'm finally able to participate in the live blog and you've only blogged once so far.

Was Sen Clinton trying to cry again today while talking about Dr. King ?

I have great respect for David Gergen as he seems to be the most fair commentator I've seen on CNN in regards to the democratic candidates.

L

Yes Senator Obama is like an offspring of the late Martin Luther King Jr. somewhat making Mr. King's dream a reality! Go Obama!

Clintons gave $10 million, after taxes. They paid over $30 million in taxes, so they paid more like 13% of their take home pay.

I agree with Maureen T...I saw his speech today, I think he was sincere.

McCain finally saw the light and said he was wrong for not supporting the MLK holiday in AZ some years ago. Does anyone know where he stands on gay marriage?

I agree with Sara too...they just tell us the news. I think they show us the good and bad of each candidate.

Well, if you count the delagtes as the DNC does and give Fl. and Mich to each of them, Hilary will then be 47 delegates ahead. But of course BO dos not want that to happen. Now he say give me 50 and her 50, that is NOT how people voted. He did have phone banks calling people and got caught doing it! So deal out the truth and the delegates correctly! Hillary Clinton 1807 and Obama 1760 thats the way it is. If the DNC steals this election from Hilary we will be uniting under the republican flag. I refuse to vote for a party that steals eletions even thosugh Bush did just that I expect that of republicans!!!!

For the record, Hillary has told the MLK story she told today in the past with different dates. Once saying she was 14 another time 17 but basically the same story. Today though she added the hand shake and talking with King. Who knows if it ever happened.

David....do you remember that both Senators CLinton and Obama promised Senator Edwards that they would keep the poverty issue in the campaign. It is not pandering to Edwards. It is keeping a promise. Where is Obama's response to his promise to keep poverty an issue?

Sandy> How does Obama or McCain differ from Hillary? All three are very wealthy and not your average middle income family. You have to have some faith in the candidates that just because they are wealthy doesn't mean they have lost their ability to empathize.

a women and a blk canidate are all part of King's dream. It's about everyone, not just blk.

Hillary gets verklempt (sp?) when she sees the delegate count – it comes in handy when she wants to appear "emotional"

@Jacob: So was CNN biased when the ran with the Reverend Wright story ad infinitum?

Im with you Lorraine, I respect David's opinions and think his delivery tends to be very apt and tactful

As a child, Martin Luther King Jr.is the only person I can remember looking up to and being kinda fascinated by (he died before I was born); not just for his accomplishments but for his peaceful methodology.
I doubt I am voting for McCain but I do have a great deal of respect for him because he was a amazingly strong willed POW. It is good that he admitted his mistake about not wanting a national holiday in his honor but I must admit, probably because of my age, this is new news to me and it is very disapointing. I cannot understand why McCain would have ever felt this way!

Kudos to smart comments finally making their way to your posted blogs.

yeah to Sandy in PA, Carla in Toronto, Lin, Carrie in Vancouver and Mecaa – as smart and observant followers of what is obvious in facts and obvious in the still on-going negative spin CNN uses to insult Hillary Supporters and the country at large with their Biased reporting. I agree with the other blog that Hillary Clinton has worked hard and should be proud she and her husband have made the king of money they have and when you through in that they donated 10% (the equivalent of $10 million dollars to various charities and that Bill Clinton has written a book not about his BOO-HOO upbringing as Barack Obama has – but it was written to encourage everyone to give and share their wealth, I have and would much prefer to read any Clinton written book than some self-agrandizing "AUTOBIOGRY" written by someone who has yet to achieve anything worth writing about except of course to himself.) Anyhow, Anderson Cooper and teh rest of the CNN team, you should try and watch some Lou Dobbs objective reporting now and again to hopefully let it rub off on you- as he is the only sane CNN reporter to say he is disturbed by the Medias bias against Hillary Clinton – and he is not a female stating this fact. And he can unequivacolly state that the sickening media love fest of Barack Obama has not really dub deep into the fact that Barack Obama has not achieved anything of greatness while he has been in the Senate, or donated millions of his own money earned to Charities, or himself even simply visited War Torn countries on humanitarian missions or has kept up his responsilities to chair NATO meetings. How nice for Barack that he is simply too busy campaiging and spending his own supporters hard earn money to out commercialize himself on YOU TOBE and on National Media during the Superbowl. How can you say pitiful!!!

The comment about raising high income taxes being against the Clintons' interest was unfair: every person who drops a dollar in the collection plate at CHURCH acts against their selfish interest.

Three Cheers for Hillary for hitting a homeroom by disclosing her
tax returns! I suppose they will start picking at her for something
else. I am proud they were able to make that much money and
gave so much to charity. They gave 10% and Obama gave 1%.

ANDERSON– GREAT SHOW! WHAT ARE THE CANIDATES GONIG TO DO TO ADDRESS LONG TERM CARE COSTS OF OUR AGING POPULATION AND SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN COLLIDING??? BIGGEST THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY - HEALTH CARE AND LTC EXPENSE EXPLOSION!
Have you seen all of the posts by families battling autism on CNN's ireport? Why not do some follow up on Autism reporting as there is so much interest? How about the "BEST PRACTICES" in treatment options with national experts to offer HELP to people struggling instead of arguing about the cause on TV. Please see CuringAutism posts on ireports if you're interested, my 2 sons are some of the most successfully healed kids in the country after being treated with MANT options in many states. I'd be happy to contribute information if it would help others. –Brenda

mary beth.....................

10% is a rule of thumb it doesnt matter if you make 30,000 or 1,000,000

the point is obama isnt as giving as most

I think McCain is out of touch and the reason he acting interested now in MLK is because he wants something from people.

The media has to keep the Reverend wright story in the press for 18 more days to influence the PA vote. You are right TN Dave, it's passive agressive subliminal persuasion.

Interesting, Obama and Clinton supporters both think there is media bias against their candidate. It's kinda funny. Although, I must admit, Obama has been the golden candidate this week.

CNN supports Clinton, MSNBC supports Obama and Fox...well supports conservative Republican.

Can someone explain something to me on the Michigan and Florida re-vote issue....did the DNC not make it clear to both states and all the candidates that if the states moved up their primaries that their delegates would not be seated at the convention. Did the candidates not all agree to this, as well as to NOT campaigning in those states? Can someone confirm to me that this is indeed what happened.

Hi Anderson, I'm watching your show, and am wondering why this election has to be about race when there are so many other issues. jana

Laura,
Me too....... I agree with you....

Erica,

I am interested in who the Native Americans, Asian American, and Gay Americans are supporting ? It would be well rounder to have representives from these communities commenting on AC360. Thanks for your consideration to this request

Geraldine

How can someone who brings in 109 million dollars understand the "working poor" or the blue collar worker?? They can't. They can pretend, but they have to live like that for them to be able to comprehend the whole picture.

Joe and David are doing a great job tonight. I always love David, but I really like where Joe is going with these statistics. Makes the voters think about some of the lesser known issues.

Looking forward to the show. I feel like a voyeur watching Anderson & Erica & everyone from behind the scenes. Its kind of fun.

Looking forward to the show.

Some of us want to be able to post our pix as well perhaps if we were asked? Really like your pix Anderson and Erica. Nicey you two...

I'm glad to see some agree with me. I'm almost tired of live blogging because of all of the people who bash on Anderson for being biased, when its just the news he's reporting. It really gets on my nerves to scroll through the ranting.

Here's an idea . . .

Since most Americans would probably agree that to have former US presidents going on anyone's payroll, especially foreign governments or entities, is demeaning to the USA . . . let's see to it that they and their immediate familys lack for nothing during the duration of the former President's lifetime . . . food, clothing, housing, medical, travel, toys, etc.

The cost to each American citizen or the countrie's budget in general would be negligible, and no one would henceforth have to hang their heads in shame or embarrassment.

I think it is notable that both Clinton and McCain were actually in Memphis and Obama was campaigning in Indiana. We all know when this special occasion is and he surely could have planned to be there – he surely has the money to fly! If he is an example of Dr, King's dream, why wasn't he there in Memphis?

I agree with the panel in the last segment. We do need to look at education as the equalizer for the country. There is however, a great disparity between urban and suburban schools.

how can people not see that cnn is an equal opportunity news station – the Rev Wright Story, Sniper gate, McCain's bomb Iran comments– cnn doesn't play favorites

I'd prefer to hear more from the candidates about education and poverty rather than the constant and pointless bickering that has taken hold of their campaigns in the past few weeks. Stick with the real and important issues.

Good point Billi. I guess he is to busy dodging Rev. Wright's mess up.

YES, I TOTALLY AGREE with Joe Madison. Thusfar, we have heard the candidates talk more on how to solve current problems, BUT we have not seen any VISION, any revolutionary DREAM which can re-inspire the American people, and also indirectly, the World.

I commend McCain for apologizing for his position regarding the King Holiday. He didn't have to do it. I don't agree with his politics but I admire his sacrafice to this country.

I guess I dont get it with the economy being so bad and so many without health ins. and poverty so high it seems to me the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer no matter who we elect for President of the United States..

Hillary's performance at MLK events today was truly telling. If you believe Hillary, when she was 14 "Dr.King took my hand and looked deeply into my eyes". Put that comment together with her recollection of arriving in Bosnia under sniper fire and I figure she's dealing with some form of delusional disorder. Is Dr. Phil going to be back soon?

Sharon in Toronto

Jacob VERY WELL said................................Go HILLARY

Clinton can't remember what happened when she visited Bosnia 10-12 yrs ago but we're expected to believe she remembers her reaction to MLK's death FORTY FIVE years ago? Sure Hillary...just like you want us to believe you're "just one of us working class folks."

...........Anderson, listening to yor interview with David Gergen is exciting. I can always trust him to speak the truth. As a black woman, living and working hard to continue Dr. King's dream ...everyday, not just today, it is great to hear some sone speak the truth. Clinton is pandering to the black community. I do not trust her words, they seemed rehearst...like her sniper fire story. I do not believe that as a student, she challenged the faculty, and staff to hire include more black in that environment at that time. She is a liar, the climate was "too sensitive and racism was still at an all time hight". She is a liar, plain and simple. I do not trust her. Frankly, Anderson, it is becoming insulting. I tatally agree with Obama visiting Indiana today. It signal that things must continue.

it seems really strange to me that the two white candidates were in Memphis today, while the black candidate, who has Martin Luther King Jr. to thank for the very fact that he is indeed a candidate for the highest

don't you think Obama should have rearranged his schedule to make it a point to be in Memphis today....along with the two white candidates for the highest post in our gov't???

When poles are conducted in Penn for the democratic race, do they consider that even though demographics are the same as Ohio, only registered democrats can vote in the Penn race, no cross-over voting like what took place in Ohio.

It's wonderful to hear a candidate promise all of these things, but everyone knows that heor she cannot do it alone, it will take bi-partisan work and a plan and so far I have heard a lot of promises, but no real plans. We definitley need a president that is not so caught up in his own image that he cannot work across the aisle to get these things done.

There is a LOT of fire on this board tonight... wait until you hear about some of the pork, that'll REALLY get you fired up

I agree Jana, it seems most of the things the press is covering in the election is race, gender, money when there are real issues that need to be addressed.

These earmarks are ridiculous! I hope that we can stop them all! I know that'll be a long row to hoe though!

Cynthia, Ga.

My question is this....

In adding the total breakdown of revenue for the clintons over the period of returns released. There is still no footnotes to the 14M in income made other than books, speeches and salary. Where did the money come from? At an average of 2M a year, that is quite a miscellaneous income section.

Also, While I applaud the 10M in contributions, over 9M went to the Clinton foundation. Has there been a release or documentation of the expenses incurred by the Foundation.

AGH! To see where some of the tax payer's money is going is SO frustrating. Seriously, I am sick of hearing about tax on small businesses going up and up when the projects that are added to these spending bills are so stupid. How can we EVER stop this nonsense?

Many of us Canadians like the Clinton's. Good for them for giving that much money to charity. I hope Hillary wins the nomination. If she does not send her to Canada. We have a female Governor General now and have already had a female Prime Minister. We would be happy to have another female leader!

It's a lot easier to donate 10% of your income when you're no longer supporting any dependants and your income is $100-million!

If you're having problems with the webcam being out of sync with the live broadcast, try DVRing and playing it back to match up with the webcam. It works great. You can watch AC & Erica in real time!

Does anyone remember that Bill and Hillary Clinton never even owned a home until after Bill left office? With his intelligence, and education, he could have been a very rich young man. Instead he chose to serve his country, making low wages until he was in his fifties. Do the American people really begrudge this man making money from his books and speeches? I certainly remember the prosperity of the 90's, and so should all of you naysayers!!

Nice to see that the government is using my money to buy dinners all over the place, yet I'll be darned if I can afford a lobster dinner for myself. Think there is a problem here? Yeah, me too.

anyone who gets as far as Presidential race will have money

I expect CNN to criticize the Clilnton's work for 100 million.  Republicans would say I earned it and I need it as capital to help working people out there.  Good for the Clintons.  I am above average and retired.  I am not bothered.

What's wrong with telling this audience that Candy and David Gergen are objective in this Obama-biased show AND THANK THEM FOR THAT ?

Come on, even Cafferty accepted my comment today,

A Clinton fan ( I do mean : Bill, Hillary and Chelsea )

Hi Anderson and Erica,
Were any figures released today on how much Hillary raised while she was in the Bay Area yesterday? She hit all the wealthy and big time donors. Was wondering what her haul was.

Not all people who make it out of middle class forget the trials and tribulations there are. Just because the Clintons are wealthy doesn't mean they always were, in fact they were not. It doesn"t mean they have forgotten where they came from. People need to do their homework before the shoot their mouth off questioning if Clinton can relate

Earmarks should be public. It's our tax money.

Kathy,

I can't afford 10% of my income. So I donate what I can, when I can. I know that he has made more recently due to his move to the Senate and his books, but still, he has 2 kids to raise, and the Clintons don't. I bet his 2 girls are in private school, not CPS. I think the fact that anyone donates is impressive and to be commended, the amount shouldn't matter.

And whose "rule of thumb"?

Wow! Lots of money taxpayer is keep them honest! that is not good idea to pay taxes!

I wonder what Martin Luther King would have thought about the things that Obama's pastor said. I don't think he would have sat in the pews for twenty years listening to them.

Mary Beth – Don't you think that it's also interesting that the Obamas didn't contribute anything until Barack started running for president? Seems a little disingenuous to me. Obama isn't anywhere as "transparent" as Clinton is. She's been in the public eye for so much longer. And, that's a good thing when your looking for the next leader of America!

On this day when honor to Mr.King brought unity and candidates together to bring one message from the candidates,it was McCain with great courage to go depsite the fact that his appology would be facing an undesired response.Also great for Mrs.Clinton to go there with McCain for the purpose of this day.
It should have been a day to stop the campaign for all the candidates and honor time and dedication on this day.Why did Mr.Obama not seize the same to bring unity in todays message and walk side by side among the presidential candidates.?
It does not speak of the "Uniter" that he like to be viewed in .

McCain just doing "advance damage control" on AZ not having MLK holiday so that his opponents wouldn't bring it up

Hillary gave 10% and Obama only 1%? Wow! I guess that makes Hillary the "honest" candidate, ey? Oh, wait! There IS the big lie about sniper fire!

MSBC had an article how our taxes money are spent; I'm not shocked they are investing in a crab institute. On that note, i decided to spend my days off at the zoo, appreciate bears that are considered endangered species

sorry im not blogging more tonite.. ive been re-writing stuff as we go,and am a bit swamped

Anderson,
Loved the dialogue tonight and the reporters comments about young black men without work when speaking about what he would love a candidate to say to the American people. On the anniversary of Dr Martin Luther King Jr's brutal killing we need to stop and take a real look at this country. The reporter forgot to mention all of the young black men incarcerated in this country while their children live in poverty. We must solve major problems in this country and we need a leader. This country is only as strong as it's people.
God be with you all. .

Your commentator has said that no candidate has set a vision the way Kenndey did. I disagree. Obama has and continues to do so. He speaks of rebuilding the infrastructure. He speaks of the students repaying the 4000 tax credit by doing community service and playing their part in building the country. He speaks about raising people up and getting them on their feet.. Kennedy's vision was appropriate for the cold war. Obama's vision is for NOW.

Absolutely Anderson: Get the CNN summer interns to get listings of all earmarks. With the added attention the public has on this issue, it would be interesting to see if more disclose their requests. Thanks.

i have been reading your comments though

Mr. Cooper:
I was wondering if you intend to make any appearances in the MA. area. i'm a HUGE fan of you und your show. Watch it daily!! Honest i do. I have your book...... GREAT book! Very emotional book. I was hoping to get it autographed if i'm luck is on my side. Thank you sir. You honestly make this place a better place. Thanks for what you do. You are the man.

Just found out on McCain's website that he opposes gay marriage and stands proudly on the side to ban gay marriage....

Man! I wonder if McCain really is sorry for not supporting the MLK holiday in the past. He was wrong back then and his position on gay marriage is wrong too.

mary April 4th, 2008 10:31 pm ET

Kudos to smart comments finally making their way to your posted blogs.

Kudos to you I love lou dobbs

That earmarks story still makes my blood boil! They could be spending that money on so many other things, and instead........

terri
that doesn't mean a wealthy person doesn't have an ear for the poor and and eye and brain for what needs to be done! let alone a heart !
I agree that someone like that doesn't understand what it's like to live with a low income on an organic level, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to do something to better the lives of the less fortunate.

Gee, do you think showing clips of Rev Wright night after night might be hurting Barack?!

Erica,
Oh really! I want hear that..........

$2ll,509 for olive fruit fly research in Paris, France! Oh là là !

I have stopped complaining about AC360 favoring Obama ever since the program has started to "dig into" Obama's background. I am not a supporter of either candidate, but even I noticed how obvious it was that 360 appeared to be "supporting" Obama but not reporting the "good, bad, and the ugly" on him.

Thanks to Anderson and staff for "levelling out the playing field" on this matter.

Lots of us seem to think Obama should have been in Memphis. I wonder what the panelists think.

It is about time they took those girls out of there!!

Cynthia, Ga.

Given where our economy is going....earmarks are only getting bigger. When will they put this money to good use? This turnip is about dry!!!!

*Waving back to the camera crew*

Correction not Bob Woodward meant Carl Bernstien.

The earmarks jsut keep getitng more and more ridiculous. They shouldn't be alowed.

A few weeks back Hillary was leading Barack by as much as thrity points in P.A. now it is down to eleven. Erica and Anderson you are wonderul to directly inneract with viewers.

How can we complain about $18 Billion in Congressional earmarks, most of which go for local public works projects, when the Bush administration is spending $12 Billion/MOnth on the Iraq war?

LOL... I LOVE that picture of Jeffs stumbling along in his handcuffs and jail duds.

It must be terribly frightening for the girls. How sad.

Anderson/Erica-
how can this kind of stuff stay under wraps in our own country? I mean, this is the kind of nasty stuff you hear overseas, but not in our own back yard! How does this fly under the radar?

Holy guacamole! That is the creepiest story I've heard in a long time. What a disgusting church...how long have they been active?

It is totally unacceptable and shameful that priests abuse children in any way under the name of sacred initiation...

I guarantee one thing.............if mccain or hillary had the money and great press Obama has, they would be winning like you wouldnt believe!!!
that Obama spends spends spends and has such a biased press supporting him, makes me believe he CANNOT win!
i actually voted for Obama in the primary but when i discovered he and his wife and his advisors associate with anti-semites and anti-americans i was amazed!!!!!

Why did the police use buses from the Baptist Church?

Jeffs is just creepy. I'm glad authorities were able to get in the compound. Maybe things will shift for the good after this. I was hoping things would get better after Jeffs was convicted.

McCain promises absolutely no earmarks. Is that believable?

Polygamy will not end anytime soon. All we can really do is try to protect young children who are forced to live like this. The adults will do what they want , no matter the threat of prison.

Did you know the resident requirement in the Iowa Caucus was
three days? My friend was working on the Clinton campaign and
he said many young people from Illinois moved there for three days
to register to vote for Obama. Their lodging and meals were paid by
guess who? Also Oprah gave the people who attended her rally
in South Carolina $1500.00 to visit Chicago. I cannot understand why the press didn't pursue this – they have been so unfair to Hillary.
That makes me want to support her even more.

I would ask McCain why he hasn't requested any earmark money to help homeless vets in Arizona – you know, those who managed to survive Vietnam like he did but who are now homeless! Erica/Anderson, dare you ask him that question?

Carolyn Jessop's story is absolutely heartbreaking. I knew the FLDS was horrible, but I didn't realise how horrible until I read her book. I don't think anyone could. I feel for those girls, though. They're taught the world outside is a horrible place and of the devil. They must be terrified.

The day of the MLK assassination is receiving a lot of fanfare. It may not be, but it seems very opportunistic. I wonder if all of this attention is to atone for the racial undertones that are affecting this presidential contest.

I'll pass on the hello., Genevieve

Great news that they were finally able to get those girls out of that compound and the police are in there and investigating. I hope they can shut it down.

You've had a long day Anderson. No need to apologize. You are too kind.

I feel so badly for those girls. They must be terrified! I'm sure even with the abuse, they have been so traumatized, I wonder what kind of help will be offered to them to help them be able to talk about what happened to them.

Those poor girls. I hope they are kept away from the FLDS so they have a chance at having a happy life.

This situation is horrible. How many other compounds exist? Thank goodness these girls where samed.

Even though I think it's a good thing that the girls are getting taking out of the compound, I do feel sorry for the girls. They are ripping them out of what they only know as their life. It will be a tough transition for them and I do hope they do talk and trust the authorities but my guess is they won't.

Yeah! Cindy,
I agree with you.

Erica,

What does it mean "your comment is awaiting moderation"

Geraldine

Erica, I think you are the best!!! Thanks for being on Anderson 360 more!!!!!!!

Well its been a great show as usual thx again Erica and Anderson.

Oh just wondering where can I see those public tax returns of the Clintons?

From what I know about the Clintons, they did not have money until after he was President. Neither came from rich families. Hillary took out loans to pay for college. She didn't take a high paying position after law school like she could have. I have heard that they didn't have a lot when they lived in Arkansas. And if you wonder how much the governor of Arkansas makes, ask Mike Huckabee! They both made money from their books and he made a lot from speaking – but think about it – it is the public that wanted to read the books and hear him speak. Isn't there somithing about the market value of something being set by demand and what people are willing to pay?

Ok...i have a question...I am 20 and this will be my first time voting in a presidential election. I am a news junkie and have followed elections in the past. This is the first time i have heard of tax records being released. What is the importance in this? Does it really matter how much money the Clintons make. I imagine that by now if there was a discrepency or some kind of scandal in these documents we would be hearing about it. So, i guess my question is, what is the significance of these documents and why did they need to be released?

TGIF HaHa Genevieve, I waved back to the crew also. Great week-end everyone

OK . . . it's just killing me . . . where did the term " earmark " originate ?

Nice moves camera guys! Are you trying to do what the live staff wanted Anderson to do this morning?

Hi Anderson, The latest blog was from April in Texas. I'm from Texas too. I guess what I don't get is why does this election now have to be about race just because Obama's pastor of 20 years is so anti-American, anti-white, and anti Israel? I think all of the media, except Fox, and Lou Dobbs, is very biased towards Obama. Thank you for your show. Jana

How did the compound go unnoticed until now?

Goodevening Anerson,Eric and fellow Bloggers. Looks like it's been a very busy night. I hope everyone has a dood weekend.

Geraldine-
it means they have TONS of posts and don't have time to put them all, but they are doing their best...just not able to proofread them all so it may not get on.

Tony, like most politions, I would assume McCain ducks the gay marriage ? especially as a republican. I think i have actually heard him appose it. Can anyone confirm?

this is my first time doing this. does cooper and the other people really read these posts?
if they do, i like that one female reporter who shows the odd videos, etc. she has a dry wit sometimes.

Wow. You go Anderson. We appreciate you dilgently getting to the bottom of this and not letting people hedge around the questions. This is why I watch 360. Get the facts. Great interview.

I have to say I'm glad Obama is bringing some money home and for some good causes. If he doesn't take it some other Senator will. Right? At least that's how I understand it. As for the Clintons' they have done well for themselves. Why take a pay cut to be President, you can make more money being a senator and writing books. I don't understand someone really wanting to be President and having to go through all this invasion in to every part of their life. Guess that's why I'm happy to be me.

Geraldine- a previous post says "There are so many comments – in fact – that not all of them can get posted. Comments to CNN blogs are moderated. People often ask what that means. Anderson has blogged about it: “The process is very straightforward and – like on the television program – there is no hidden agenda. If your comment does not get posted, it’s likely because there are so many great comments to moderate.”

It would be good to hear follow up on what might happened to the girls who were removed from the polygamist sect–no doubt it's a terrifying event for them, but you have to think that ultimately they'll be better off than they were under the horrors of Jeffs.

Anderson, appreciate you reading the comments! It's a bonus if you blog though!

Have a happy weekend everyone! Stay away from the acupuncture guy.

Ariston

Have a great weekend everyone – Ive enjoyed participating on the blog tonight...great show 360 crew.

Clintons worked, wrote books, did and do a lot for people and this country, world. They are respectable people. I cannot read anymore the blogs because of the hate, of the slandering, accusing, calling names, making fun of them.

this country is a mixture of races and cultures. I think that more than 2 (b/w) should get exposure.
Latinos, Indians, native Americans, Asians, and others.

The pastor words are disturbing. Why Obama could get away with him going to that church for 20 years? This is really disturbing. Then he comes and does his fancy speeches....

First time watching the webcam, probably the last, the camera crew is the most exciting thing about it.

Have a good weekend all. Great show – lots of information. Awesome job.

Agh! Great show, but where was Erica's segment with her work on McCain? I was really looking forward to it. Oh well, better catch up on it. Thanks for the great show, have a good weekend 360 crew and Bloggers!

That was a cute Beat 360! Good show tonight Anderson and Erica and gang!!

Ryan, congrats on your first time voting!! The information now is more for the people on the fence for how they are going to vote... statisticly most people vote based on party lines, then on a few key issues.

I totally support removing the girls from the FLDS compound to check for abuse. My question......who was the moron that decided to do it in a Baptist Church bus?

OK, to end the week on a much lighter note... can you believe Zamfir and the pan flute are still around?!

It has been a fun week blogging everyone. Have a great weekend. Enjoy a couple days off Anderson and Erica

Goodnight everyone

Jacqueline, NY

Thank Heaven it is Friday..Nothing like a little Shot of the day, Pan Flute to serenade us out of the week..Night All

Haha, Anderson can't get away from someone trying to embarrass him, first Kelly and now Erica, poor guy.

That's a nice shade of red my friend!

Great job spoofing Anderson Erica!!!! I was really hoping you would have some fun with that footage.

Thanks goodness for Eric'a sense of humour! Good night and have a great weekend folks!!

That was cute Anderson! Your funny.

Erica is so funny!

This is good; the news can always use a bit of humor; funny peops on 360 staff!

Anderson- Erica had to get you back for the mullet photo
