American Morning
What's on Tap – Thursday March 26th, 2009.
Man vs. Water and the War Next Door… Here are the big stories are on agenda this morning:
The Fight to Save Fargo: First a blizzard. Now flooding that could reach near biblical proportions. They’re piling two-million sandbags in sub-freezing temperatures along the Red River. People of all ages, professions and backgrounds – trying to hold back the water.
And 200 miles to the west, crews in the capital city of Bismarck are blasting apart ice on the Missouri river.
Stopping a War at the Border: The exclusive interview with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who says America’s thirst for drugs is fueling a bloody war in Mexico. What if Mexico becomes a Pakistan of Afghanistan, but in our backyard?
Some Drama Obama: The president showing a little impatience with reporters and with the pace at which the country’s problems are being solved. American Morning viewers are getting a little uneasy too. Is the honeymoon officially over?
Savers’ Remorse: A new state of psychological tension, spawned by this economy. Why not indulging enough can hurt you emotionally.
And – Pimp This Bum: a father-son marketing team using homeless people to create buzz for their website, but are these entrepreneurs exploiting victims of the times or bringing attention and help to a needy cause?

amFIX Team,
It is constitutionally unacceptable for the Republicans to "cruise" along without offering a budget alternative. The spirit of the two-party system and concept of loyal opposition does not mean that a party can relinquish its responsibility. At a 3rd rail, you in the media must demand that they participate. From my perspective, the House and Senate Republicans are not doing their job. They are spinning well, and I am not say that the administration is not spinning, but the administration is acting. The Republicans are waiting for Obama to make mistakes, waiting for the "honeymoon to be over", name-calling ,and spewing their talking points.
As strange as it sounds, I believe the press is letting the Republican party get away with not performing their duties as an opposing party.
By The Way, check your own CNN/ Opinion Research polling. Obama's job approval numbers are generally up over last week.
Talk about shovel ready jobs. Fargo has a white plastic bag that needs those shovels.
Is their a bus a guy could get on, and go help save Fargo? Maybe the government should send a few busses from a few cities nearby.
I would go for a week or so. I'm currently self unemployed. Feed me,... give me a place to sleep and I would be there.
That's all I got to say about that.
