I'm a faithful follower of this site, and have enjoyed many diaries, and comments over the years. I was a combat medic in Vietnam, and sadly saw to many die from their wounds during that deployment. I have strong feelings about the direction of our country, and the political discourse that has polarized and divided our country, more below.

*I came to realize last night if the tables were turned last night, and Romney had done as well as the President, it would have been a "clear" win for Romney. We're not dealing with a fair playing field here...please excuse spelling, I'm not great on a computer, but wanted to express my strong feeling's on this subject..Thank's...more below.

I must say with Paul Ryan's budget proposal being brought foward, I've had about all I can take. I ve been on this earth near sixty years now, and I know "smack me in the face, and rub my nose in it" when I see it.

I couldn't help but notice after former President Jimmy Carter spoke on the racism being displayed by the republican party, the republican talking heads all pushed back by claiming the democrats were the one's playing the race card. Who are they trying to fool? Not me..
I watched the entire month of August go by with all the teabaggers and their racial comments and sign, so clear was their racism and hatred for our president. It would take a moron to not CLEARLY understand their meaning, and the racial position those folks were taking was not a secret to anyone, they made no attempt to hide it.
I believe it's time to push back, and push back hard. This has to be challenged for what it is, clear racism. They don't like our president because he's black, plain and simple...

Republicans are sore losers, or racist...TAKE YOUR PICK

When I read this morning, the latest problem the republicans, and so called educators are wrestling with I was shocked.
So let me get this straight, the President of the United States, who by the way was elected by the people, can't address the students of our country, because... why?
I'll tell you why, because our education system, and these wingnuts have lost it, everything is a big drama now, and common sense has taken a back seat.When George Bush was in office they turned a blind eye to everything, now, because they don't like our current President, because of racism, or what ever their problem is, the students of ALL our schools can't get a pep talk to start the school year.
Let me say this in closing, I was a medic in Vietnam, and saw many die in defense of this country. I DON'T LIKE WHAT I'M SEEING IN OUR COUNTRY TODAY.....

I find it amazing how the republicans can continue to be in control when they lost the election.
I'm beginning to wonder if the democrats are able to stay ahead of the republicans, regarding talking points or anything else. We have a President, and a majority in both chambers. Why can't we get health care pushed through? I'll tell you why, because republicans are better at getting their talking points out, and using the lobby to their advantage. Democrats are always playing catch up and two steps behind, I wish the democrats would take the gloves off and throw some serious punches, instead of trying to play bipartisian while you're getting your ass kicked.
I'm so tired of all the excuses, better wake up before you lose health care all together. Pull out everything you have now, or you'll wake up this winter with no REAL halthcare bill.

NO PUBLIC OPTION, NO BILL....PERIOD

These financial institutions still have huge exposure to derivative markets on their off-balance sheets. Derivative's are financial contracts, such as residential and commercial mortgages, loans bonds, and commodites. So in lay term's, derivates can be used to hedge the risk of economic loss arising from changes in value. Nominal value is the face amount that is used to calculate payment of derivative's. This amount for the most part never changes hands so that's how on and off balance sheets come in. Off-balance sheets are assets or debt financial activity NOT on the financial institutions balance sheet.
According to financial insiders, many financial institutions off-balance sheet exposure is mant times higher than acknowledged publicly,also exposure to loss is huge, also many times higher than stated on-sheet balance numbers.
So, with all this "hidden" exposure, the bank's could actually require trillions of taxpayer dollars. The fact that these financial institutions have LIED and hid the debt, is beyond shameful.
I must say I've had it with them, let them sink or swim on their own, no more government, taxpayer bailout for these liars.
