The Democratic argument I'm seeing a lot of now is that Barry turned it around and has been creating jobs every month since then.

I guess that's better than just slowing down the fall, though they have never lasted that long anyway.

It could have been worse!

Chris Matthews gets into confrontation with GOP delegates

One convention-goer yelled out "hey, a--hole," to Matthews, at which point the combative host walked back toward the hostile bunch.

The delegates said that they asked Matthews whether he had gotten a thrilling sensation from Mitt Romney’s speech on Thursday night, and Matthews responded that he had not.

Following a 2008 speech by then-presidential candidate Barack Obama, Matthews said, "I felt this thrill going up my leg."...snipped

I dont know what his other name is but he needs to be ignored. He has only a few people who watch his show so who cares what he says. He is irrelevant.

Two irrelevant points:

Each time I see Clint Eastwood's speech, I get a twinge and remember Bob Newhart.

The cutest point in the convention has to be those kids on stage after Mitt finished his speech --chasing after all the balloons!

I was smiling ear to ear watching that, jealous of their joy!

Did you see when one of the Romney sons had to rescue the littlest boy from the bottom of the stairs when he got in over his head in balloons?

All the little girls were appropriately dressed as well. No "short-tail behavior" dress lengths as my mother use to say when she thought someone's dress was too short. Michelle doesn't seem to understand this by the way she allows her girls to dress. The President even makes jokes about it.

Classy people. Now if only the American people are classy enough to elect them.

Matthews tried to goad them, but the delegates handled it well,
especially with the tingly feeling remark --- I love it!

Joe Biden and Chris Matthews are the true intellects of the Democratic Party.

You guys won't like this source but this guy lists 30 instances of dishonesty/distortions in Romney's acceptance speech. He imbeds links to support his argument.

I fully expect the Democrats to engage in repeated falsehoods and distortions at their convention, but it was depressing to hear assertions which have been repeatedly judged false by independent fact checkers resurface this past week.

Man, that is so weak. That list is subjective and so weak.

Obama has never criticized success?

In 90 seconds on the 'Net, I found this:

3/18/2009:

"One last point that I want to make. People are rightly outraged about these particular bonuses. But just as outrageous is the culture that these bonuses are a symptom of, that have existed for far too long -- a situation where excess greed, excess compensation, excess risk-taking have all made us vulnerable and left us holding the bag. And one of the messages that I want to send is that as we get out of this crisis, as we work towards getting ourselves out of recession, I hope that Wall Street and the marketplace don't think that we can return to business as usual. The business models that created a lot of paper wealth but not real wealth in this country and have now resulted in crisis can't be the model for economic growth going forward."

Barack Hussein Obama

He also complained about Compensation models and called for a more "shared" system.

Obama, May 23rd, 2012: Businesses are successful because we have extordinary infrastructure! LMAO!

Those Damn Roads and Bridges again!

"He (Romney) should be proud of the great personal success he's had. (Laughter.) No, I mean, he has been extraordinarily successful at the financial firm that he helped put together. But I think he's drawn the wrong lessons from these experiences. He seems to believe that if CEOs and wealthy investors like him are getting rich that the rest of us automatically do, too. Now, we believe in the free market. We believe in risk-taking and innovation. This whole area is built on risk-taking and innovation. (Applause.) But we also understand that it doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens because of outstanding schools and universities. It happens because of a well-regulated financial market. It happens because we have extraordinary infrastructure. It happens for a whole host of reasons."


This is mush. Another way of saying - You didn't Build that.

one of the criticisms is obamas lack of work experience in the private sector. well here is what he did for experience.


1975 or 1976 — ice cream scooper, Baskin-Robbins — Honolulu — Obama claims to have lost his taste for ice cream during this, his first job, the duration of which is not publicly known.

Date unknown — deli counter clerk, business name unknown — Honolulu — Obama had a summer job at a deli counter in Hawaii, making sandwiches, his spokesman said during the presidential campaign.

1980 — gift shop sales clerk, business name unknown — Honolulu — Obama worked at a gift shop in Hawaii selling island souvenirs the summer after his freshman year at Occidental College in California.

I got this from the always faithful Mother Jones Magazine

PBO's campaign is saying that all of this should have been brought out during the 2008 campaign. You know, the one that strongly opposed using obamas middle finger ooops i mean middle name. He did use his middle finger during the campaign a lot.

He did work in a law firm every now and then between some unknown time with some unknown firm.

Maddow is ok. She is a bright thinking person. At least we know where her bias lies. She will not compromise on any issue she has an opinion about. Its her way or the highway. So... take whatever she says or publishes however one wishes. Not much different that, lets say, a brodhead opining on a payback article IMO.. We can all see brodhead was wrong but can not compromise on the possibiity he was wrong. I do view maddow smarter than brodheqad, if that matters any..

And there is an article that recently came out about the real fact checker site. (I will try to find it) And the conclusion was that they show a bias when it comes to fact checking anyones "lies" So I, myself, do not put much weight on what others claim as being false or true. I do my own fact checking. Others should too.

The only fact checker who is truly independent is yourself. Otherwise your only fooling yourself and fulfilling your own emotional wishes.
