Clips, news and insight by Ryan, for the masses!

Heres my deal....I consider myself an Independent Voter, I hold no party affiliation. I voted for Bush Jr. TWICE! Yes, I will admit it. That being said, I am very excited about America's choice in Barack Obama. If nothing more, I believe that it represents a call for change in American politics.

I will try to bash all parties equally, although you will see more right bashing than left. I'm sorry, that's just who I am. Like I said, Obama has struck a cord with me....we will see how long it lasts. I will though take swings at either party when I see something I don't like.

I am what most would call a liberal, so Republican tactics and style really get on my nerves. ALL politicians suck, but I will try to be fair. We live in a great age of information. Everyone should be informed.

We should be looking forward to a new era of American politics where our president encourages public involvement in the presidency and listens to our concerns. I expect Barack Obama to hold up to his end of the deal. If he does not, I will be the first to say so.

Lets give it some time people. We have not been cured of our racism in America, but we are making strides. I am not a religious man. I have my own beliefs, but you will find no religious bias here! I find most people hide behind religion in order to cover up their own prejudice and use their convictions in order to cast judgement.

Tired of me yet? :)

Something Really Cool Happening At Daily Kos

I don’t know if I have ever seen this before, but if you have never visited www.dailykos.com something extraordinary is happening at the above link. One of his regular contributers has managed to work out a deal with AIG allowing the public to ask questions and get answers straight from the companies higher ups concerning the bail out and all of AIG’s recent scandals. Check in on the current questions here…AIG Answers Questions.


Its clear AIG is trying to save face with the public after numerous reports of spending sprees even after they were bailed out my you and me. Now in attempt at full disclosure, they are entering into an open dialogue with us and responding to our criticism and some tough questions quite frankly. 

Whether they tell the whole truth or not, it is nice to see tis effort. They have a lot more to do (like actually changing their ways), but at least they are not hiding from this. 

AIG has established a website to document their restructuring process and help bridge the gap to the general public.
