Wall Street Journal Slams Obama's 2012 DNC speech

[TheGreatGatsby]

The Democrats' Soft Extremism - WSJ.com

Barack Obama is deeply overexposed and often boring. He never seems to be saying what he's thinking. His speech Thursday was weirdly anticlimactic. There's too much buildup, the crowd was tired, it all felt flat. He was somber, and his message was essentially banal: We've done better than you think. Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

There were many straw men. There were phrases like "the shadow of a shuttered steel mill," which he considers writerly. But they sound empty and practiced now, like something you've heard in a commercial or an advertising campaign.

It was stale and empty. He's out of juice.

LOL. Rupert should stick to listening in on other people's phone conversations.

when the WSJ is not complimentary of Mitt, they are a great source.

But detractors of President Obama should remember one thing – Wall Street has been booming under this president. Since Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the Dow is up about 48%, the S&P 500 is up 60% and the tech-focused Nasdaq is up 90%

So, you're saying that Obama policies benefit the 1%, and not the middle class or the poor. Got it.

There was the relentless emphasis on Government as Community, as the thing that gives us spirit and makes us whole. But government isn't what you love if you're American, America is what you love. Government is what you have, need and hire. Its most essential duties—especially when it is bankrupt—involve defending rights and safety, not imposing views and values. We already have values. Democrats and Republicans don't see all this the same way, and that's fine—that's what national politics is, the working out of this dispute in one direction or another every few years. But the Democrats convened in Charlotte seemed more extreme on the point, more accepting of the idea of government as the center of national life, than ever, at least to me.

that is scary.

It exposes his true agenda of making EVERYONE dependent upon government. His "sympathy for the average American" is nothing more than emotional make-up for his Marxist face. His tax plan will hit the middle class hard. He just wants the money so he can spend it so we can borrow more and bail out more campaign donors when their business fails.

And another thing...

Biden claims that Obama saved the American auto industry. What Obama did was to steal from the American treasury, give to the union goons (so that they might give back to him in campaign support) and claim that the government saved the world. Ford seems to have done quite well without the bail-out money.

And another thing...

Biden claims that it was Obama's decision to kill bin Laden. Then he praises the men that actually trained for and carried out the mission. What he doesn't mention is that the mission was initiated years before Obama came into power and the efforts of the CIA and military intelligence led to the location of the target. All Obama did (reluctantly and not without delay after delay after delay because of Valerie Jarrett) was to say (after they had bin Laden located) go ahead with the kill.
