AMERICAS MAYOR STRIKES OUT

Regardless of what you think and how you feel about the way US President is doing his job, does not allow one to distort the facts. There is a difference between news and views, or facts and opinions.

US President B. Obama was duly elected by a majority of American voters. On the other hand, the term Americas Mayor was never conferred upon R. Giuliani following any election.

It appears to some that the tittle has gone to his head, as he continues to say horrible things bbout Obama

As CBS News colleague Steve Croft said, Bob Simon used to say he was a Jewish kid from the Bronx. Bob didn't tell you that he was also Phi Beta Kappa, had been a Fulbright scholar, or that he went on to become television's quintessential foreign correspondent.

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to briefly meet my Tocayo, Bob Simon and I even got to sign the huge welcome home card CBS News gave him, Peter Bluff, Juan Caldera and Roberto Alvarez after they were all released, following 40 days inside a prison in Iraq. Bob was truly a journalism jewel.

As this son of a Bush heads towards a possible presidential bid, Jeb is beginning to take fire from those who say his views on immigration, along with his last name, embody a Republican Party establishment that doesn’t truly represent conservatives. Whoever you decide to support... Let Jeb Be Jeb.
