Helloooo John King (Anderson), Erica, Ed Henry, David Gergen Martina Ilstad, Emily and my friends Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!!
Happy Thursday night HUGS!

Good evening everyone.

Hi John! Hi Erica & Team 360.

Hi fellow chatters.....looks to be another packed news night!

Happy Thursday John King, Erica, Megan & Bloggers!

Hope that you all had a great day...looking forward to the news tonight!
Great start with Michael Ware.

John King,
Wanda Sykes is my favorite comedian and actress!!!! She made me laugh so hard!

Incredible story. As a contractor I doubt if he's paid enough for this stuff.

This is an awful attack!

Great to hear that lives were saved!

Chris Turner, Congratulations!!!
Great to hear your story from Michael Ware.

So why is this guy there in the first place is he a soldier.

I like Chris Turner saved their lives when attacked by Taliban...... He is our hero!!!!! Congrats Chris Turner!

@ John King,
Sounds like your show, "State of the Union" is going to be great!!
Thanks for the heads up!

He sounds like a really amazing guy. Mr. Ware
thanks you for the interview.

Welcome back, JK. This is really an eye witness!

WoW, what story! The gentleman gave a clear accounting of what happened.

Michael Ware is the best man to interview him given his own personal experiences.

Clearly this gentleman does not feel that he did anything special, but he did! God bless him and all of the others like him in Afganistan.

I love Michael Ware interview Chris Turner!!!!! Good job Michael!!!! I like his question for Chris Turner!

Emily,
I agree with you!!!!! I second that too!

The President stood there from midnight to dawn? That's a lot of caskets now that I think of it. I had no idea until John framed it that way. Staggering. I'm glad the President was there to see it first-hand. Hopefully, that will make an impression as he makes the decision what to do.

This man is very brave.

I'm so glad President Obama went to Dover. This country needs to see the pain this war is causing. Except for those of us affected by the deployments, out of sight – out of mind.

Great to see Pres. Obama viewing the flag-draped soldiers body's home!
Such a say, yet, respectful sight!

Good evening John and all bloggers. I hope President Obama winds down the war in Afghanistan and brings our troops home. I admire him greatly for his honoring those coming home in their flag draped coffins. That had to be hard. I wouldn't want to ever have to make the decisions he has to make. Easy for others to say whatever they say, they don't have to make the decision. I hope he does the right thing.

Although it was impressive that Pres. Obama attended the return of 15 soldiers from Afganistan, it is heartbreaking that our kids are still coming home in caskets.

Did GW Ever attend Dover Delawar base?

I don't envy Pres. Obama's decision re: what to do in Afganistan.

Looking at John's Magic Wall re. the H1N1 virus is pretty bad!

Seeing the President stand there at attention and saluting the casket of the fallen moved me to tears. I am very proud that this man is our President. Seeing those caskets has an effect.I know it did on me.

how many people from the 50% of the American population that the CDC is estemated to die how many dude

@ Starr
No President Bush did not go to Dover , but he met with soldiers families and visited the wounded at Walter Reed.

What is the issue with the vaccine?

I wish i had the chance to decline any flu shot.....

we (the whole state) have NO vaccine of any kind!

@ Starr, I agree with what you said about the soldiers returning home!

It's very sad indeed, however, very respectful.

If we waited for all drugs to go through trials, many, many people would be dead rather than still alive. This woman who's worried about what happens to her kids 20 years from now will be lucky if they live through the swine flu, especially considering her kids are considered high risk. How utterly ignorant.

It's good Obama honored the fallen soldiers, but it will be of more help if he gives them the troops they need.

Good evening John King, Erica, Isabel, everyone. Yes, Chris Turner does sound almost casually courageous, the UN guards too, and Afghan military. I always imagine working and reporting in a war zone is unpredictably dangerous. Great intvw by Michael Ware.

Why did the taliban attack this guest house? Troubling to see this, because there are repts of peaceable times in Afghanistan. A surge would help, it seems.

Those are somber pictures of the President at Dover Air Force Base.

@ Mike, formerly from Syracuse,
There's Mercury in the vaccine, and they don't know what the side effects are now or later on down the road; how it can effect you.

Did she really say a mother is worried her children will be infertile in 40 or 50 years?
Really?

I'm not saying yay or nay about the swine flu vaccine but you should know that some physicians and groups of physicians, particularly pediatricians are not in favor of the vaccine and are not administering it. They are giving information about how any of their patients that want one can get one, but their offices are not participating. I worked with a physician who got Guillion Barre after a flu shot 5 years ago. He almost died. But I'm sure that's very rare.

Everyone keeps referring to the 1976 vaccine as a fear. Is flu vaccine produced the same or differently now as it was in 1976 and what is suspected to have to caused the side effects and deaths experienced as a result of the 1976 vaccine.

They closed a high school in Chicago. 900 kids were sick.

Are we instantly immune after receiving the vaccine?

I'm gettin that shot. I trust scientists to make a safe product more than I trust the last lady in the restroom to wash her hands.

The vaccine could have a defect. You could get swine flu. I live in S.AZ and get the flu every year. I think there's a much better chance I'll catch SF than the vaccine have a defect.

I got a regular flu shot for the first time ever, but I'm not targeted for H1N1. My 22 year old twins don't want to get one. They are both healthy.

hope that in depth look at h1n1 helps answer the questions ... it is a fair debate .. and every parent should ask tough questions. but some of the stuff out there seems off key to say the least

We have here in Wa State vaccine swine flu give kids and adult at schools, building, somewhere etc!

My husband, a physian – otolaryngologist, is not getting the H1N1 vaccine. He believes based on conversations he has had, that it was not produced with as much oversight as the seasonal flu shot, and that the process was not as regulated because of the time constraints.

The last time I got a flu shot I wasn't able to play the piano afterwords.

Of course I couldn't play before the shot either.

I think this h1 n1 thing is so over rated.
I have been doing a lot of reading and researching this flu
and it seems that the majority of the people who have come
contact with h1 n1 and have died have been people with low immune systems, the elderly or people who are not healthy to begin with.
I would like to know if I do not get this immunization what are my chances of becoming infected.

WOW, check out that rubber ball!

Good evening everyone, John King, Erica, bloggers, and AC360 team. Yesterday I went to college, I started to get sick. By the end of my day, I thought I had the H1N1. I had fever, back pain, body pain, chills, overheating, weak, sore lungs, and more. Once I got home, I drank some soup, ate food, had green tea, neo-citran tea, Aleve, pure lemon with honey and more. After all that, I still don't want the vaccine. I think I'll let my body develop the antibodies on its own and learn not to rely on the vaccine.

It's about time that Mr. Ray cancelled his events.

He has shown such disrespect towards those that died as well as their families (not to mention his follower-what ever he's got left)!

Wanda Sykes appears to be pretty funny from that clip!
Looking forward to seeing more.

I saw the local news this morning, the line-ups for the H1N1 vaccine looks like the type of line-up you would see for a new iPhone. But after my 12 hour flu yesterday, I recovered with everything I took.

@Gady, Are you okay now?

Hi everyone! John.. yeah...can you imagine dropping that rubber ball and breaking every elastic?

@Mike, formerly from Syracuse.

Your remark about the vaccine and the piano -hysterically funny!

Nice see President Obama honored many soldiers casket who love lost ones from Afghanistan, My heart goes to soldiers family & friends

@Emily. It's rather simple. Do you want to live or take a chance on death? Are you high risk? Maybe it's worth the risk. I've taken a lot of drugs that were considered poison and I'm still here to type this (I wouldn't be otherwise). We can't have it both ways considering the urgency.

@John King were the states in red those that had closed schools? I didn't catch that, If so, the map needs to be corrected because we had a school close locally here due to H1N1.

Has anyone figured out why w/swine flu vaccine in 1976 those vaccinated caught Gullian Barre syndrome?

I think the steps taken to stem this outbreak are helping, maybe the virus is, thankfully, less virulent (though seems to be potentially dangerous for pregnant women and young people), an unchecked flu pandemic could have a snowball effect on public health.

We live in Bucks County PA and have tried to find H1N1 vaccine for our teenage son.

It seems like no one has it and no one knows when they are going get it, including

our primary physician.

I am very upset and nervous!

Do you know where we can go to get our son immunize from H1N1 virus?

Please help!

some of the jobs, they have been phased out!
businesses have cut them out in order not to go out of business!
yes, to "save" the entire company/business, there were many that were phased out...different from the ones that May have a job to come back to!

How do you prove you have 'saved' a job? Either there are more jobs or not. Thanks John King for pointing out that President Obama lost ground by 3 million jobs.

@Gady,
I hope you will better soon right away, get rest for you.

I think the best way to kill a virus is naturally, can't really rely on something people make inside a lab, not knowing what goes in the cure, what are the risks, and what other things can it affect.

I have 3 friends who have lost their jobs recently. Each one of them were told the reason they were fired was "it wasn't working out".

It would seem that many employers have the "cream of the crop" to choose from, or they are just trimming their budgets.

I really hope that the Obama adminstration really can create millions more jobs.

@Emily
Mercury has been typical until recently in vaccines as a preservative, supposedly in safe amounts. Versions of the H1N1 vaccine will be available without Mercury, it's just that they allowed the Mercury (and without level restrictions, at least in WA) for now so as to speed up the process of getting the vaccine out so those most at risk can get them asap.

@Emily, – Yes, I'm Ok now, I just have a bit of a runny nose that comes and goes, but yesterday I was about to collapse in the college. I did not feel well. And the worst part is that in my college, I can tell the H1N1 already made its way in, there are some students with surgical masks, and someone in one of my classes just recovered from the H1N1, and on the news , they said a 13 year old kid died from the H1N1 a few days ago.

Let's see Wanda Sykes! She's hilarious!

Who is really going to listen to Palin? Especially in NY?

The candidate she is supporting doesn't even live in the district he is running for.

Rediculous!

@ Megan Dresslar – Shoreline, WA – Thanks, I just like to stay up late watching AC360 I still have a cough but I'll manage, I just don't like needles I even went crazy in the doctors office when I was about 12 years old, it was embarrassing

I like Sarah Palin. She appears to have some backbone.

what an odd box for the obama white house. finally, finally the economy grows - but it isnt adding jobs and might not for months - so they have to be very careful not to brag or do too many handstands.

@ Casey Jones,
I know that this H1N1 vaccine is very serious....there are many people out there that are very period about this vaccine, and want to know what is in it and why are people not getting it, the main reasons!

From what I heard, a 13 year old kid died in Toronto from the H1N1, and the kid is the second teen in Ontario to die of the H1N1. And this morning there were line-ups all over the city. I call the line-ups "iPhone line-ups" there were huge.

belated logon for me tonight – no laptop in the studio. all set now, though

I loved Paul B's remark about hunting down heretics.

Answer for "To vaccinate or not to vaccinate."....NO!

Bad brew.

Holistic strengthening of system instead.

I want to know if Dr. Gupta had taken the h1n1 shot?

On Yahoo it says that the H1N1 vaccine contains egg, didn't chickens get killed because they had the "bird flu"? What ever happened to that virus?

@Lori, that's funny!!

I think Palin is out there for the attention, and she is no longer interested in a politic position.

It's interesting how obsessed everyone, particularly Democrats are about Sarah Palin, when even the majority of Republicans don't think she's qualified as President. What are they so afraid of?

Hi Erica! Glad to see you got "hooked up" to join un on the blog.

The President is always measured on good economic news precisely because so many are out of work, but I also wish that he would get credit for the good that is going on. I seemed to remember that the GOP saying that the stock market was the indicator when it was bad , now its good, The it was GDP, now that's good. Now the are talking about job creation, that will bee good at some point too . I just want to know when is the media going to ask the GOP what is their plan besides the word "No"

@ Jennifer,
There is quite a bit in there however, I've heard from a nurse that it's a lot like the HPV vaccine.

Wanda Skyes has her on T.V. show?

She's pretty funny!

In the mornings I take a route called the "B-Line Express" here in Hamilton, Ontario. At times its packed. I fear that someone will get me sick. Sometimes its like neck to neck crowds. And not only the H1N1 is possible, also 3rd hand smoke.

I love WANDA

Wanda Sykes is GREAT!!!

Yes glad people's 401K got a boost today, but am even more thankful that GDP grew by 3.5% in the third quarter. I'm sorry I should know this but what sectors are accounting the growth, the impression I have is that there generally stimulus throughout the economy is that right?

Where did he get the huge rubber bands he used in that ball?

Good pt, repub part vp candidate going for a conservative party candidate instead of a republican, I'm surprised Sarah Palin is doing that.

@ Erica,
Hello Erica, glad to see that you were able to log on with us tonight!

I love Wanda! She is simply the best. I like Wanda, Ellen , and George But I like how she is open minded, and doesn't care what people think.

Love Wanda Sykes....she is very funny.

Love, the Limbaugh remark. And, appreciate her balanced take on Pres. Obama.

@james, if I remember correctly, Sanjay did not get the shot because he had H1N1 in Afghanistan recently

this flu affects young people quite hard sometimes. for the life of me i can't see how every doctor is in some big conspiracy to lure people into taking some "evil" vaccine. get yourself and your loved ones vaccinated. it's just common sense.

Here's Wanda's quote – "Its like someone is giving you CPR and you tell them your breath stinks" I will never forget that. I think I'll post it on my Twitter and Facebook.

What Jaycee went through is just so unimaginable!
That guy should just ROT!

wow .. slipped in bad boston accent there. ooooops

@Gady,
You're welcome!!! HUGS!

Good night everybody. Good show tonight.

@ David Indiana, i wish i could answer your question on which sectors are doing well on the market, but i can tell you it is Not new housing (which unexpectedly fell this quarter.)
