Not just the fiasco with the Stadium (and now that they moved the venue to the convention hall it's too late to set up a ballon drop) but the timing of the Speakers. <br />Michelle Obama's speech is supposed to be the one that humanizes the candidate. So what did they do...put her on Day 1. So now on Day 2 we have Bill Clinton subbing for Biden. At least they were smart enough to keep him off a live-mike in PrimeTime, but it will be interesting to see if we have Bill Clinton supporter of the DNC or Bill Clinton setting up Hillary for a run in 2016. This blows Michelle's speach off the page so by the time POTUS Obama takes the stage we have forgotten about Barak the husband/father/man and are looking at Barak the Politician.KellyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342332734935313737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-6006130665535537832012-09-05T18:12:31.950-04:002012-09-05T18:12:31.950-04:00So, Rahm Immanuel rallies the troops?

I understand he wants millions for bike lanes in Chicago streets while the Teachers' Union gets ready to go on strike.<br /><br />As for government and unions, I agree that police protection, reasonably fair courts, infrasturcture, and such are necessary for a healthy economy. I also accept that when one has received much, much is expected from him. However, the Dems don't seem to ask why, when all of us use the highways and benefit from police protection, it's only a few Steve Jobs who break away from the pack.<br /><br />A certain amount of government is needed. The Republicans need to talk about that. However, I cannot trust a man who was formed by a host of Communist and Black radical thinkers; who cannot sympathize with the entrepreneurial spirit; and how kowtows to radical Islam at every turn.

It definitely sounded like some sort of 30's socialist party conference. On the bright side, it seems the Dems have no interest in appealing to independents, choosing instead to rally the base.libertarian neoconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913115139075583176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-44430817803024243772012-09-05T12:15:24.155-04:002012-09-05T12:15:24.155-04:00Thanks, much appreciated.Thanks, much appreciated.DiploMadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02316439950882822419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-49679269920975113062012-09-05T12:09:53.429-04:002012-09-05T12:09:53.429-04:00shows no shame typo last lineshows no shame typo last lineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
