My mom is 82 and she thinks President Obama very beautiful ... lol ...
I prefer you, Anderson Cooper!
Oh I loooooooooove that picture of Anderson. Stop blushing Anderson.
President Obama is a beauty himself! 🙂
Anderson, you are always beautiful. Have a good night and weekend, everyone.
Gotta agree on the chef and speech writer.
After your teaser last night - I actually picked up a People mag at the check out lane today - couldn't believe the White House Chef was on the list.
You need to get Jack Gray to start lobbying for the 360 staff for next year's issue! LOL
WHAT? You didnt make it Anderson? We're boycotting! 😀
yes! Rahm Emmanuel!!!
Anderson, your crew gets the most "beautiful" vote from my family! (laugh) Although, Jack Grey is not too hard on the eyes as well as you and Erica.
Geithner?? no way!
Anderson, Why do we not simply distribute a dose of Tamiflu to every US household? Many people even in these times are not bothering to wash their hands. It’s very upsetting to see the cavalier approach to the flu in the DC area at least.
Raaahhhm. Those eyes.
Um, beauty must be in the eyes of the beholder. I'll take the 360 team any day.. Have a great week-end!
Matt,
Thanks for information and share with me. twitter me.
Amazed!: Sponsors for breast implants into someone who will have an easy life because she is "beautiful". Aren't their starving, ill, poorly clothed people who could use a sponsor.....or would they only sponsor breast implants for the needy?
The genius girl is adorable. She will be in the university and get her Ph.D. in no time.
Is that how you spell "mansa", Anderson?
And you said you do not know how. 🙂
I remember when Anderson made the Most Beautiful list in '05. I loooved that picture. One of my favorite pictures of Anderson.
Yes it is something to be concerned about if Miss California had breast enhancement.
seems like a double standard if atheletes were reprimended and fired for doing anabolic steroids to help them win.
Both are enhancing beyond their natural attributes.
Mike, Syracuse, NY, Frankly from what I saw on the clip of Ms. California they aren't revealing any "secrets."
My company has banned nonessential travel to Mexico, and if you have to go, you need Corporate approval.
Good Night Everybody cya Monday
As a former Mensa member, we would have been thrilled to honor Anderson with a membership! I bet they still would.
My concern would be if this flu becomes Tamiflu resistant!
@Isabel well that's pretty quick for getting a vaccine into production, yes. Does seem like tamiflu and quick treatment help quite a bit.
Are you concerned about the spread of the virus in the southern hemisphere?
Happy Labor Day, didn't know it was Labor Day in Brazil too.
Received a tweet from the good doctor (Sanjay) that we'll have a lot of H1N1 vaccine but they'll manufacture less for the seasonal flu!
This is a no – no! H1N1 vaccines should not get in the way of the seasonal flu as these are two different variants!
We should shed a tear for every fallen hero, not just those that made an impression on the sec'y of state. How jaded we are about the monthly "death tolls". I am disgusted.
M-E-N-S-A !!!! The letters are in your name A-N-D-E-R-S-O-N ,except for M! Hahahahhahaaaaa..
m-e-n-s-a? sounds right haha
I wish I was that 2 year old genius. i can't believe i'm jealous of a toddler!
wow i hope that little girl doesn't get too exploited... that happens too often.
Beatiful to see the excitement of Secy. Clinton ...
I can not see someone so excited, I am equal
breast implants in beauty pagents are like steroids in pro sports.
she should be disqualified.
Anderson!!!!
I can't wait forward the Time 100 Most Influential tonight, I love The View, They are amazing ladies!
Ann C. Williams, US Circuit Appeals Court Judge from Illinois is my choice for the Supreme Court Justice position, her experience in the legal system and community services make her an excellent candidate. The decisions of the Supreme Court impact us all. She is fair and able to provide a balance to the court. She would be an asset to the court and the people of USA.
Please clarify: A relatively healthy person can get the swine flu. Is simple hand-washing (with soap and water) one of the main 'ingredients' that would keep one from getting the swine flu?
Anna, Toronto, ON
my goodness... Barbara Walters had a FULL lift... like not even just the eyes and cheeks, she's got new lips... 60 really is the new 40.
While I am looking forwad to time 100 tonight, I hope it's rebroadcast at an earelir hour for more people to see.
Hillary is the real deal.
if people wants to complain about plastic surgery then most of the previous beauty queens should be targeted as well...Miss Universe, Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, etc...
Does vitamin D3 help the immun system, if so how much should one take?
Re Miss California, the story seems to have cross-switched the Miss USA and Miss America contest. This controversy was about the Miss USA contest.
The Obama administration is younger that is why they
look good.
Omg, I'm late!!! I dont have cable TV here at work!!!
Yeah, definitely best looking administration ever. Smart too. And young. Makes one feel a bit of an underachiever.
I love Joy Behar! She's got a great sense of humour! I know she's a comedian!
Is the swine flu still evolving as it goes along and changing?
Since this is a newer type of flu, would it not get stronger if given a wrong type of medicine like tamiflu?
So far on the tests, has anyone found out if this is only one type of Swine flu evolving or is there signs out there that there is more than one strain going on.
I have my concerns about the H1N1, especially since I have 2 young children and am also pregnant. I haven't heard much about how pregnant woman will be treated for this if infected. My husband is a firefighter/paramedic in L.A., so I'm also afraid of him catching it and bringing it home. What to do?
Good evening everyone . hope are all well.
when i taught my girls to cover their cough and sneezes years ago, it was into their middle arm, kinda opposite the elbow. it made sense to me. Now alot of ppl are retraining. thats a very good thing:) However, carrying kleenex and sanitizer is a must have.
Megan,
The vaccine you received a few months ago contained vaccine strains of viruses that were circulating at that time. Although it did contain an H1N1 virus, the surface proteins are extremely different from those of the circulating swine virus. The vaccine is not expected to provide much cross protection against this new virus.
I'm sorry that Whoopi Goldberg wasn't there! Looks like a great interview with the women from the View!! Can't wait to see the show! You're a great interviewer Andy!
Excellent report by Tom Foreman, as always. I learned about that process when I was in college but had assumed that the technology had moved on since then. Apparently not.
Thanks again!
hey people!! 🙂
I cant wait until the TIME MAGAZINE influenced people airs tonite 🙂
Anderson,
You're right. NO one cares about Miss California and her breast job. Get on with some real news!!
Same with the women of the 'View'. No one cares what they say any more. Real news please!!!
