R is blinking a lot now, they each blink more when they are listening. I wonder if that is a mechanism to control their anxiety or anger.

I hate it when O says in Egypt we stood by the side of democracy, the Muslim Brotherhood is the farthest thing from democracy and their hatred of the US has increased, not decreased.

Appeasement does NOT work and apparently neither does paying them.

My daughter was in the Army as a medic and that enabled her to be certified as an emt? I don't know the certifications. At any rate there was nothing in the Army that was equivalent to a nurse, lpn or rn.

Correct. The skill set is VERy DIFFERENT if she wasn't actually working as a nurse (yeah it's primarily documentation and nursing plans). Medics have HUGE differences in interventions .mil vs .civ... The differences arfe really there and civillians have a LOT of LEGAL issues .on another forum, and in my own former life as a paramedic.

What is greatest threat -

O - terrorist groups, and insisting on China playing by the same rules as everyone else - (how exactly is he going to enforce that one?)

O we have brought more cases against China for violating trade rules - (Probably why gold is going up and China is about to sink the dollar)

I agree. It is easy Really. Remind the American public now that The current leadership of Egypt is talking about destroying the Great pyramid because it might hurt their religion. Remind the American people that if they go visit those great sites in Egypt now that they might be be-headed.

Of course there are Army nurses--both male and female.
To be an RN requires a 4 year degree for a BSN, or a two year degree at a community college.

EMT training is just a few months.
Completely different animals.

R - greatest threat is nuclear Iran. China wants a stable world, they don't want protectionism. They want to put people to work as well. We can be a partner with China, we can work with them. They look at us and say is it a good idea to partner with America. they look at our debt, our decision to cut back on our military, the sec of def said the military cuts would be devastating, We need to have trade relations that will work for us. China holds down the value of their currency which makes them a currency manipulator and makes their goods cheaper.

bob - Calling them a currency manipulator might start a trade war.

R we have an enormous trade imbalance, they are the ones that don't want a trade war because they sell us a lot more than we sell them.

I cannot believe what I am hearing on this debate...

Zipper-head A and Zipper-head B are basically saying the same things about interventionism (as if this is good and dandy) and war (as if this is our natural state now)... they are just disagreeing upon the implementation details.

Now imagine if Gary Johnson was included in this debate--and you would get completely different responses to these puff-ball questions.

Obama's strategy tonight appears to be to tell so many lies one after another that Romney is too overwhelmed to be able answer.

O says R invested in companies that shipped jobs overseas. I've made a diff bet investing in American workers. (R should mention O's pension plan).

O wants to invest in clean energy technology - (worked well so far, look at Solyndra).

Very nice of the Mod to ask R the Q first, then lets O respond and slam R's opinion with half the truth.

R's responses are on the nervous side.

OR: Two year degree to be a Licensed Paramedic(DM)
Completely different animals.

The old MOS of 91C was able to license as an LVN/LPN but not the current mos of 18D

R - attacking me is not outlining an agenda that will provide solutions. R differentiates himself from Bush for the stimulus, and R was for a managed bankruptcy,

O interrupts and says that is not what you said.

R says I'm still talking.

O says lets fact check and looks to Bob as if "why are you doing something", it really does look like he was sending bob the evil eye to step in like Candy did with the false fact check.

R is not letting O talk.

O anyone can check the record. R you keep trying to airbrush the record, you said the Gov would not provide assistance, R says you are wrong, O says I'm not wrong, R says people can look it up. (I'm sure Chis Odunut is having a coronary, you can't talk to the POTUS like that, that is unconstitutional, hang him)

I told you it was going to be a bloodbath. IMO that's exactly what it was. Going to be REAL interesting to see public opinion on who won. I believe Romney won, but no home run hits.

In Iowa a licensed paramedic is NOT a 2 yr degree.

National License Paramedic EMT-P-L is the national Licensed Paramedic and does require 2 yr or more degree. Paramedics certified by the individual state may or may not require degree. These have the patch of EMT-P.

3 Bombs for Hawkins
R: Zinger: I certainly want to see us go forward, but I certainly don't want to repeat the last 4 years . . . now citing how to go forward.

CLOSING STATEMENTS:

O: You've now heard 3 debates, you've heard too many TV commercials . . . I've got a plan, I want . . . rainbows and unicorns. I want the wealthy to share more . . (share?) As CIC, I want . . . I promise I will always listen to your voices, I will fight for your families, etc. etc.

R: I'm excited about the future, I want to see growing peace, we have the opportunity for real leadership, I want to make sure we get this economy going - I'll get us in track for a balanced budget. The presidents path . . . I'll get people back to work, off food stamps (not by cutting the program, but by getting them jobs). I know what it take, I'll work with Democrats and Republicans. We need strong leadership - I'd like to be that leader.


Romney has whole, entire family on the platform with him - O has Michelle. So he's now joining up with R's family, grinning at the kids, etc. Note to O: They're not yours.
