    “He respond to the offer? What? What the hell’s Cromwell doing giving lecture tours when his company’s losing 60 million a quarter? I guess he’s giving lectures on how to lose money…if this guy opened a funeral parlor, no one would die…”

    What is the ‘New Reality’? Some kind of Indian new world order? I bet those slumdog kids are behind this.
    @1 I can only assume you are under the age of 12 with that logical reason ability, pls resume commenting on fox news articles defending obama with “none of you could be president!”
