CNN's "Reliable Source" host Howie Kurtz probed deep, trying to get Schock to take his shirt off, but the 27-year-old Rep kept it professional.

16. This press stuff isn't about Obama, so those weak souled Ann Coulter lovers who think so need to....think again. NO! Just SHUT UP!

There is a place in heaven for Republicans....they will spend eternity apologizing to anyone about anything.

17. He is a Republican and TMZ is giving him good press. Maybe it's because Harvey read the A Lincoln book and has respect for an Illinois representative. Everyone should lighten up and try to smile and enjoy a light moment in a time of financial troubles.

18. Obama said Republican Abraham Lincoln understood that self-reliance was at the core of American life. BUT Obama said "Individual liberty is "served, not negated, by a recognition of the common good". The Common good of Collectivism as Obama stated a 'Collective Union' (which is opposes Republican Lincoln ideal of individual liberty). It is Individual
Liberty that lead to the Ideology of freedom ,for all. The Democrats of Today seem to be engaged in the same Collectivism of before (From the Democrat Collectivism of slavery ,Jim Crow or George Wallace To Al
Sharpton or D Durbin, , is still the same ideal.) An example of a Collective strategy is when one Leader suggest that ' A Negative Comment on him is a negative comment on all of Us (referring to a particular group, without reason).'.

21. Why doesn't this congressman, the rest of congress, and the pres concentrate on all the problems in this country instead of abs? The white house is just a sideshow with a bunch of clowns vying for the most media coverage, any coverage! TMZ, quit adding to the problem, please.

22. Ms. Mott - there are too damn many problems that demand immediate attention, and they can "play" around AFTER all the problems are solved, and all our troops have been brought home from the wars. Families of service members can't find anything to smile about! We want our young men and women HOME as BO promised!

27. Taking directives from the New World Order, huh TMZ? Well, of course you are. Oh, and hey "go obama" morons, have you signed up at usaservice.org yet? Surely your vote for him expressed your intention that you are ready to serve. Well, if you haven't, don't worry. They'll get you involved soon enough,
