Louisiana has 756,319 registered Republican voters but only 180,000 came out to vote in the Primary as on person said because of March Madness. Rick Santorum spoke out attacking the President for allowing his daughter to visit Mexico on school class trip, but forgot the Pope was visiting Mexico at the same time. As Mitt always says a win is a win.

We have regularly paid for the victims we murder in the two Wars. We invaded Iraq and 56 bombs missed their target and killed a thousand people sleeping in their beds and the US paid their families for the mistake. We paid for the innocent victims we murdered/tortured in Abu Ghraib/Gitmo and other unreported murders. American policy is to pay off for an innocent like taken with 50,000 dollars and move on. But dare an American life be taken it is Justice we demand and life of an American is priceless. Lockerbie bombing settled with each American victim receiving 8 million dollars and for each victim in 9/11 murdered 1.8 million was paid per victim. We value the lost of life of an American and countries know they will pay the price for that action.

Life takes you in different careers as experience. I worked as a nurses aide and saw many on the list for a heart/liver transplant and how people waited. Back then 55 year old was considered the limit and of course good health played a large part. So many young people waiting and praying. Dick Cheney who has suffered with heart attacks for over 33 years and now 70 years old with a battered body gets a heart transplant as a younger stronger person continues to wait. The report by NBC news a good but like any machine that has been battered for so long a new heart is temporary and it can't repair all that has been broken and worn down. The ID of the donor is always kept private but in this case Cheney and others know what really happen and in America we know money can buy anything even a heart for the right price. I pray for those who are still waiting.

President Obama is in South Korea and on the DMZ. I got pictures of the DMZ when my daughter was stationed in South Korea. I hope North Korea will accept help and change their policies. The old policies of invading countries to removed leaders and replace them with US puppets didn't work in Iraq.

We had a protest march in Riverside as we wore hoodies. One young lady told me, she really never thought of a hoodie as looking like a criminal as most people wear them at her work out center and after a shower it's like a bad hair day to cover up. We had a good group who just wanted to show support and hope Law Makers will change the Law to protect people not kill them. No politics just community members standing side by side.

have a great day all

    Brian, President Obama is behind the 8 Ball with the Republicans because of the open microphone, but the

    president is not "hiding the ball" from Russia. Which underscores his point that this year is not conducive

    for a deal right now. I had hopes for the May 2012 Summit in Chicago, but you never know which way

    the wind will blow and Chicago is the Windy City. Of course, nobody has to tell him about Chicago.

      Now John McCain wants a straight answer from President Obama about the open mic. The answer is that

      HE WILL HAVE MORE FLEXIBILITY AFTER HE IS RE-ELECTED. What part does McCain not understand? Just

      Asking!
