President? Republican candidate? Who in their right mind would even want the job??? The media has taken over this campaign anyway, they won't need a Republican convention as Fox News will make the selection! The media is now doing their magic act, you know, divert the audience's attention from the real issues and exam everyone with a microscope until you find some issue (or non-issue) that can become the latest red hot number #1 scandal on the 5:00 news!!!! And all the time this is going on our do-nothing til after the elections Congress continues to do what they do best----nothing!

What continues to really bother me, is that both sides continue to play the "blame game" and nobody from either side of the aisle has presented anything that looks like a solution to our current economic crisis!!!! When will possible solutions to the ISSUES and PROBLEMS facing this country become what the politicians deal with??? I guess we will have to be content with dirt digging and name calling til after the November elections, hope there's a country left by the time these idiots get around to looking for some solutions!

Oh yeah, here's another issue they could take up;

Homeless Veterans
Published by the National Coalition for the Homeless, September 2009
This fact sheet examines homelessness among U.S. veterans. A list of resources for further study is also
provided.
BACKGROUND
Far too many veterans are homeless in America—between 130,000 and 200,000 on any given night—
representing between one fourth and one-fifth of all homeless people. Three times that many veterans are
struggling with excessive rent burdens and thus at increased risk of homelessness.
Further, there is concern about the future. Women veterans and those with disabilities including post
traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury are more likely to become homeless, and a higher
percentage of veterans returning from the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have these
characteristics

Welcoming all of our most recent vets home from the war, all the flag waving, etc. is really great.......I just hope we don't forget about them after that!!!!
