We WERE losing 800,000 jobs each month and now, not enough, but we are gaining. Housing is recovering, a 2% GAIN in the last quarter after a massive freefall. We avoided extracted wars in the Middle East, are out of the Iraq War and on the way to leave Afghanistan. Maybe now we can work on the issues here at home. We are on Mars, looking to the future and the stars. We are allowed public debate and discussion. The Republicans had their convention, said some good things and things I question. I will question the Democrats also and looking forward to their explanations and view. I wish I could pick and choose those elements from each side that I like best, but that would be compromising, wouldn't it? Always the best way. There is always hope and the difference to be made is what we do ourselves.Jerry Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024087888949143035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920411020784409759.post-3401614153751831252012-08-31T17:25:26.125-07:002012-08-31T17:25:26.125-07:00It is almost laughable that people are offended by...It is almost laughable that people are offended by the 'disrespect' of a President. <br />Brings back lots of memories from the GWB years. Someone called him 'Hitler'.<br /> How disrespectful do you want to get? <br /> I'm a registered independent and leaning towards not voting this year.. First time in my life. <br />Extremely discouraging.

Yes I am sure there will be plenty of fodder for comment there too...oh well. Just the general disrespect for our President is unnerving to me. Yes you disagree with him but to be so personally denigrating is what makes me cringe. And yes GW was someone I disagreed with and I never wished him or his family ill.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819844673551315071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920411020784409759.post-55562497800680441772012-08-31T02:53:20.796-07:002012-08-31T02:53:20.796-07:00Can't speak to your post, Jer.

People have been doing it for years and tend to blame the previous president (GWB, for example) instead of looking at the heart of things. Always somebody's scapegoat.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920411020784409759.post-48413598667834502972012-08-30T10:22:34.966-07:002012-08-30T10:22:34.966-07:00as a very liberal woman..I too have been watching ...as a very liberal woman..I too have been watching the RNC. It has been difficult to listen to the cheerleading of bashing a sitting President, or poor people, certainly the refusal to fact check has gotten in the way of some rousing rhetoric. I listen to a lot of stations, read a lot of stuff...still can't get my head around the hatred and racial bashing going on. Trying to make it more difficult to vote, treating poor people as if they are not important. The hatred of women, the attempts to govern our bodies and health choices, certainly the time travel efforts to go back 50+ years! Still nice to see some passion, now how about some real facts and plans?Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819844673551315071noreply@blogger.com
