Democratic National Convention 2012

Isn't Joe Biden scheduled to give the keynote tonight? Oh, that's right he'll just be a warm-up on Thursday. LOL.

Numbers you won't see at the DNC:

- National Debt Clock, tops 16T
U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time#

- National Budget Defecit, over $ 1.2T
see above, just below National Debt number.

- Median Household Income Jan. 2009 vs. June 2012
$ 54,983 down to $ 50,964 This is twice the 2.6% drop during the actual recession from Dec. 2007 to June 2009.

- 46 million Americans on food stamps today, up 6.4 million from three years ago.

- 6.4 million more Americans in poverty today than when Obama took office. And despite Obamacare, national health spending is up 13 percent, while the average worker's health insurance costs are up 23 percent. Obama had promised both those numbers would go down if the Democrats running Congress approved his agenda, which they did. These "achievements" added $4.6 trillion more in federal debt.

scary stuff. And how Id like to blame it all on Obama (he certainly is part of the problem) I gotta give alot of blame to leadership in Congress. Both sides. I simply cannot understand why people, who we f*cking over-pay, cant sit down like civil human beings and hash out a plan on the economy, jobs, and debt crisis. I mean its unbelievable how our supposid national leaders act up in washington.

I'll say the same thing about Romney that I did about Obama when he was elected, he has the opportunity to be a transformative POTUS....if he can govern from the middle and force folks on both sides to come together on this stuff.

Neither side wants to cut anything. I laugh at the right saying we need to make cuts but freak when talking about cutting military spending. The left has not seen a social program big enough or a goverment agency that is not needed. People say cut spending but the minute those cuts are in their backyard they are against the cuts. I see it here now with the military cuts about to take affect. I'm sorry cuts will hurt some people (miltary cuts here affect me) but its time for both sides to work together and make the needed cuts.

Obama's problem is that he does not know how to lead and bring both side together. He himself starts acting like a baby when he does not get his way and that's not what true leaders does. With Mitt we have seen him in Mass. working with both sides to get things done rather you agree with them or not.

Good lord, somebody time stamp this post. I agreed with literally, almost, everything you wrote.

Did someone hack your account? You're right both sides need to grow up a little bit and put some skin in the game.

LOL ! Until both parties grow spines and go to there base/s and say , we are sorry but we have less $$$$ for you , we will keep running around in circles . I almost wish we had zero political parties and politicians focused on what is best for the country , period .
