“Government doesn’t create jobs”. Republican mantra is endlessly repeated since the “Bush crash of ’08”, and blames Obama, so obviously that “cloud” should say “American industries and their GOP supporters, WE BUILT THIS!”

People don’t vote based on the actual level of unemployment, they vote based on the perceived change in unemployment in the election year.
FDR had MUCH higher levels of unemployment than 8.2% when up for re-election and re-re-election, but lower than before he started with the CCC and WPA & etc., and he won in landslide after landslide after landslide.

The tax cut, borrow, and spend Republicans have no plan to fix it aside from hollering “Barry did it!”

BTW: 2009, last year of a Bush budget, and the result of the 2008 “crash”, unemployment = 9.3%, yes, bad as it is, “Detroit” jobs, over a million, were saved by the “bailout” unemployment, even counting those who’ve “given up” IS down. Speaking of “Romney”, remember, American Motors, went bankrupt, the “MItt solution” to personal profit…I’d say “all in the family”, but George had some integrity left.

Perhaps this explains why there is so much electricity in the air at the DNC!
.
Holey Moley! That crowd is… is… it’s like they’re happy to be there! It’s like they’re happy to hear what the speakers have to say! It’s like as if a positive message is more energizing than all the negativity that caused the obvious comparison convention to be so very very quite.
.
Brit Hume said that the difference was because the arena is smaller and the Democrats have blared the speakers up to 11 and there are no windows between the skyboxes and the floor (unlike Tampa) and then he said that this was evidence of the lack of preparedness of the Democrats!
.
Hysterical! How dare those Democrats project an image of party unity? How dare they actually want to win this election? Much less think that they might. It just goes to show how incompetent they are!

Clinton summed it up; it IS “arithmetic”, and the Republicans still think it starts with an “R”, and can’t figure out how it works. At Tampa, and in the media, they keep touting the cloud number, but don’t realize NONE of the numbers in the Ryan/Romney “plans” or “budgets” add up.(Except for more profit, and lower taxes for their “buddies”, while the rest of the nation crashes and burns.)

I think that Clinton did an excellent job of distinguishing between “Republicans” and “The faction currently calling the shots in the Republican party”
.
Not only do I agree with the concept, but I do think it reminds people who won’t vote for Obama, that they shouldn’t vote for these TEA Party nudnicks too!
.
He talked about whats his name that got voted out even though he had a “100%” voting record as judged by the (what used to be) right simply because he said he didn’t need to hate Obama!
.
But I really liked Elizabeth Warren! She gave a great speech that I’m afraid will be overshadowed by Clinton’s. I’m afraid because Clinton isn’t running for anything, and Warren IS.
.
Hopefully, in Mass her speech and his will be what it takes to remind Mass voters that the Democrats are the party of the middle class! Just because Scott Brown has a middle class sensibility, it won’t do them any good if the party he works for is looking to keep destroying the MC!
.
Hopefully they’ll say to Scott Brown, “We’ll find something else for you to do, but we need this.”

8.2% as opposed to what President found when he got “here?” George W.’s “legacy” left us with “what?” to contend with. When are you poor GOP turkeys buy that tractor to pull your heads out of your “posterior anatomical sites?”

Is that all you’ve got, Steve? Notice you’ve been awful silent since the Romney Libya and 47% scandals.

As more people get on welfare, the more power flows to the democrats. A vote for 0bama is a vote to open the doors to our treasury. Welcome to New Greece.
