Katie,
Thanks for making the public more aware of the benefits of the Nurse Family Partnership in American society. I have been a nurse home visitor for the program for over 6 years. And I can say that Dr Olds has definitely done his research to help improve the lives of newborns, new moms, new dads and the family as a whole.
I have definitely seen the impact of the program with my own clients. Thank you for focusing on this topic for your program.

Katie,

the Democrats in congress have earned a 86% DISAPPROVAL rating from the American public.

Does that sound like they are keeping any of their promises to you?

Hollow promises, maybe.

Katie,

Promises:

Iraq is a promise broken to the American people.

The sitting Senators and Congressmen have as much culpability for its start and continuance as the President.

The only persons with any sense were George Bush Sr. and Colin Powell. They both opposed the invasion of Iraq during the Kuwaiti War.

But one is too elderly and the other was duped into convincing others of the legitimacy of the invasion of Iraq. If he hadn't made this mistake, he would be the front running black candidate, not Obama.

It's a sad day for all players in the government.

The Big Promise has been broken.

Bring the young men and women home.

Eric

Why can't people just be nice?

This forum is a privilege. Why don't you go to some Katie-bashing forum and leave this blog alone?

What a biased piece of *** 'report'. This Congress has basically done nothing yet she's giving them credit for working harder than the previous. She is a perky Democrat shill.
