Transcript:

Rob Rogers: My first convention was the 1988 DNC in Atlanta. I had to fax my cartoons back to the paper! Seems like the stone age... No I'm sketching, blogging, tweeting, posting to Facebook and shooting video... ouch! Everyone in Tampa was obsessed with Hurricane Isaac... It was almost as if the storm were running for president... Man 1: First he's a tropical storm.. then he's a hurricane... he's just a flip-flopper! Rob Rogers: The security was off the hook... Are you National Guard or SWAT? Man 2: I'm Romney's tax accountant. Rob Rogers: I saw no diversity... unless you count the Ron Paul fans as a minority... The convention floor was lacking in youth and enthusiasm... Old Man: This is my happy face! Rob Rogers: The only energy I saw was channeled into hating Obama... Man 3: I built this! Rob Rogers: In the end, it was all about an empty chair! Chair: I accept your nomination! Rob Rogers: The mood in Charlotte was so different... I felt like Dorothy stepping from black and white to color in the "Wizard of Oz"... Munchkin: Follow the yellow brick road to recovery! Rob Rogers: Even the protesters seemed happier... Protester: What a great day to point out Obama is in bed with the banks! Rob Rogers: Diversity was everywhere... Woman: Are you drawing my LGBT side, my Latino side or my feminist side? Rob Rogers: Every speech was better than the one before... Bill Clinton: I feel your pain... which is no covered under Obamacare! Rob Rogers: Then Obama clicked his heels together three times and he was back in his office reading the jobs report... Barack Obama: *#@! Cartooning the Conventions
