"where is radford u?"
Virginia
How crazy is that? How could someone do something like that? There is absolutely no love there. No love whatsoever.
That is horrible. Why would someone subject his child to that? What a moron!
What a low-life man! how can he rob a gas station in literally in front of his daughter!!?
Shouldn't you have blurred the little girl's face? The camera quality isn't good of course but I thought you had to for minors.
AC the robber with his daughter is crazy.......he has ruined that girls life.....
It was bring your child to work day for criminals
@Jack...did you address the bangs as "mini-blago"? I was told you shouldn't stare..cuz it can make your brain melt or you could loose your ability to be funny or somethin'..
@ Sam
I also wanted to know if it was an iTouch! 🙂
Some people should Never be a parent!!!
@ Jack - did you get to see Blago's hairbrush?
First lady is simply amazing!
I know – I love her!
I no. Not another shooting!
hello anderson, yes, u r on the air...system glitch.
where is radford u?
Interesting & strange. In this tough economic environment people took the opportunity for some camera time and took to the streets to protest a wide variety of things from Polar Bears to police brutality. Hmmm.
Oh boy. More negative attention on Illinois courtesy of our crooked politicians.
That speech Michelle gave the girls was really touching.
Tom Foreman won again on beat 360 2 times row!!!!!! Awesome Tom!!!!!! congrats Tom!!!! I love this beat 360!
I think that picture should be framed for John McCain and Limbaugh 🙂
First lady is simply amazing!
LOL jack Gray... hypnotic bangs... now that is a very funny thought
OK, whoever sent that caption in for beat 360 should win a years supply of something. HILARIOUS!
Great photo tonight! Oh, no, Joey didn't win tonight?!
@Jack,
Yhea, I'm glad he's Oust. He seems so "sketchy" to me.
Tom Foreman again?
Congratulations Adam! 🙂

I saw Blagojevich here at CNN a couple months ago. His bangs were hypnotic."
So, Jack, did you play with them?
Blago's bangs...if you could get a pair of them, they would make great mud flaps for a 4×4.
Hypnotic, Jack? That would explain a lot, wouldn't it.
I think that Blago lives in his own,little,self delusional world.
@jack, i have a feeling you are easily hypnotized. lol
pretty serious with so many out of work...
The ipod the Obamas gave to the Queen... was it a 32 gb itouch?
It is so sad the people have such poor representatives.
If it is consolation, this thing happens in many places.
oh no........the people of IL are trying to forget about Blago - the trial can't come too soon as far as I'm concerned.
Jeff Tobin - you have my condolences for meeting Blago.
Can Blago be extradited from Disney World?
I saw Blagojevich here at CNN a couple months ago. His bangs were hypnotic.
Ohhh, that is good news for me to hear Blagojevich indicted or guilty 16 felonies!!!!!! That is so sad for him, I am glad to see found indicted!
Do these protesters ever do anything but smash and fight? Why don't they fan out across the world and bring food to hungry people, help bulid them homes and grow crops and really make a difference.
Blago so confident
As I recall...the queen showed more warmth towards people and she seemed to be more open after the death of princess diana...when the brits complained about her not showing any emotion at the time.
also, if the palace made a statement that the protocol wasnt breach..then it wasnt–end of story.
innocent before proven guilty? That only worked in the American of 40 years ago
Blago is truly out of his mind.....the indictments are many and most are felonies! I doubt very much that he will "beat" all of the charges.
The Queen seemed to enjoy being around the First Lady so she showed it. I thought it was nice.
Ah, Anderson you wouldn't fall apart if you met the Queen.
I'm sure Anderson is having so much fun in London.
I think Geithner has recieved kind of a bumb wrap because of his public speaking abilities - he's one smart cookie and I think this came across in his interview with Anderson.
I find it quite interesting the Queen was comfortable enough to initiate that. (I don't know why they don't show before that – maybe the camera didn't start until then?) It speaks to how warm and open Michelle Obama is. There are some people you simply feel open towards. And the Queen is my mom's age. She tells me you just start to regard things that used to be important quite differently the older you get.
Love the banter between Anderson and Richard Quest. So when does Anderson meet the Queen??
But Bloggy was never charged, right?
Blagojevich is confident b/c he's delusional.
Blagojevich is too narcissistic.... he just cannot see beyond that
