Clinton was much better.  Of course, the President had to get his girls home on a school night.

I don't think he accomplished what he needed to do.

I'd be worried if you liked it.

Since when was convincing the lunatic right to vote for him the president`s task?

We don't seem to communicate well, F.  First you thought I didn't like Clinton, when I do, now you seem to think I didn't like a speech where the President failed to accomplish something I didn't want him to accomplish.

I liked it just fine.

I'm a bit of a speech geek though, and I have watched a good number of his speeches over the last 5 years.  He gets lost without the script, and commits awful (you didn't build that) gaffes when he's off it.  Tonight, he hugged the script, and delivered it well, but he needed to soar, and didn't.  He needed a message that would resonate in the disillusioned, and I don't think that wasn't there either.

Funny how no one can remember any gaffs.....

The president was spot on with his "you didn`t build that" comments.....

Speech geek maybe.......comprehension geek not really.

made the points it needed to make and
closed the convention well. I think the
convention was a success and offered
real stuff for the viewer to think about.

I think Clinton's speech was better and
doubly effective. Bill was at his most
glowing and no one outglows Bill at
his most glowing. Bill was making the
case for Obama and the party and he
did that. That's what he was there to
do.

I thought it was wise Obama didn't
soar to the highest rafters. I was
hoping he wouldn't. A more grounded
speech was needed and that's what he
gave.

Rubio gave the best speech at the
Republican convention. I thought
Mitt did a good job with his speech
though it lacked anything of substance
for the most part.

LOL.  I dunno.  Comparing his 129 bowling score to Special Olympics was pretty good.

What utter bullshit.

The president�s aides understood they could never re-create the power of the past but hoped to convince voters that more has been done than commonly recognized. The “promises kept” theme was intended to address the same swing voters Mr. Romney sought last week to win over.

Mr. Obama directly acknowledged the disappointments. “While I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together, I’m far more mindful of my own failings,” he said. But he added, “I have never been more hopeful about America, not because I think I have all the answers, not because I’m naïve about the magnitude of our challenges. I’m hopeful because of you.”

The NYT article even stated that Mr. Biden was left to take the tougher shots at Mr. Romney, the former head of the private equity firm Bain Capital and former governor of Massachusetts.

I was stunned. This is a man who gave one of the great speeches of our time in 2004, and he gave one of the emptiest speeches I have ever heard on a national stage. Yes, it had cadence, and yes, there were deceptions in it, but that is not what is so striking about it. There was nothing in it. - CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER

There isn't any way to spin this one; I looked, I studied, I read it twice, three, four times.

The reason the unemployment rate "edged down" is that 1.483 million people gave up and exited the workforce! The Department of Labor Lies doesn't count anyone who gives up any longer, so the "unemployment rate" is claimed to have decreased.

But what's worse is that there were a net 868,000 fewer people with jobs in August over July, despite there being 212,000 more people of working age in the population. That's right -- net-on-net over one million fewer people (adjusted for population change) were working last month.

If you were wondering why President Obama looked like an elephant had rammed him last night while he was on the podium and his usual "nose in the air" attitude was a bit more-subdued than usual, this is probably the reason.

Here the charts.

Also, Zerohedge reports that the employment rate for men is lowest since 1948 at 69.9%.
