While we are waiting for tonight’s Democratic Convention to get going:

Energy and Obama

Just in case you didn’t know…

…

- CBN.com ran the following very interesting and sadly, factually written,  with News Video Report in tow, late Tuesday morning and their written report goes in part like this… Job creation and rising energy prices are big issues in this year's presidential elections. A major battleground will be the top coal-producing states, where 182 electoral votes are on the line. …In 2008, President Obama won the vote of coal-producing states. This November, voters in coal country say all party ties are being set aside… "Enough's, enough," Karla May, Democratic state representative of the 84th District in Kentucky, declared. "We want change; we're going to have change. We're going to have change in November."… It's the rallying cry spreading throughout coal country… "I am a registered Democrat," West Virginia voter Brandon Sammons said. "But I am for coal and by that being said I am against Barak Obama."…

* Caroline Kennedy -

Author, Attorney and daughter of former President John F. Kennedy

I still love her and her late baby brother to death… But that’s too long a story to bring up here. Her politics though… she’s really out there with it! Tonight in her speech, Caroline said that she had gone from being inspired by President Obama's promise… to being inspired by his record! Caroline… If I put you in a room with a 1000 other regular, all walks of life Americans… only you and maybe a few hundred more, but more than likely way less than that, would even think that this President has done any kinds of an inspiringly wonderful job with this country over the last 4 years! Take the blinders off people!!!

* John Kerry -

Member of the US Senate, Massachusetts

Medal chunker Kerry… Only a leftwing Dem would buy into your sorry excuse for a speech tonight. Lol… And they did just that too by the way the crowd went wild. Yeah -- yeah… John did have some funny lines tonight. But… only thing that would have made them better would have been if he had worn his Spandex and carried his wind surfboard on stage with him! Lol…

. ..........................

* Vice President Joe Biden -

Joe did one heck of a better job tonight with his speech than I thought he was ever capable of. Didn’t even stick his FOOT in his mouth either! From a Dems point of view, I’m sure… he gave one brilliant, fantastic speech! But!!! Thank GOD… I’m not a Democrat. Never have been… and never will be either.  

.

Joe… Obama didn’t save GM like you and every other Democrat on this planet keep preaching. He saved his union buddies and their future votes along with all that financial union support and organizations to get out the Obama/Biden/Dem platform vote. Sadly, (and never mentioned by the MSM,) Obama and you too, Joe… didn’t give a crap about the 100’s of thousands of hard working people who lost everything in their investments with GM. Obama and you didn’t lift a finger to bail them out!!! You didn’t CARE about them… AT ALL!!!!!!!!! Yeah… you guys are real heroes…. NOT!

 . ..........................

* President Barack Obama -

Great Obama Speech tonight…. But it was all the same-old… same-old. President Obama basically gave us another speech tonight that was full of the SAME empty promises he gave us 4 years ago. It was almost the exact same speech in many parts too! President Obama and the Dem Party must think the American people don’t listen to his words and actually think about what he says. Well… 20-30% of them actually don’t but when they do hear something… it’s usually only about how much are them Dems going to GIVE THEM this time around… for free!!!

* Sandra Fluke -

Ahhhh the women of America should be proud to have such a woman and her views on their side. Lol… Do the Dems really think all American women are complete idiots/morons!!!?

. ..........................

* Elizabeth Warren -

Candidate for US Senate, Massachusetts

Elizabeth got much love from her fellow Dems on the Convention floor tonight with all that cool-aid she was dishing out… But out in the home country, I’d have to say she got not so much. You GOT to beat this lady this November, Senator Brown. And right now all the Polls out there are saying it’s looking like a Brown WIN! But we still have a ways to go… So keep up the good fight and gets us a win with Mitt!

* Former President Bill Clinton -

Bill was GREAT!!! Wouldn’t have expected anything else out of him either. I mean… If you’re ever in deep doo-doo and need a bailout, lol… Bill’s the man to have on your side with lipstick in one hand and a great big BS shovel in the other!!! You just got to love the cool-aid he dished out tonight upon the American people. He is entertaining!!! But sorry, Bill. Obama has really hurt this country over these last 4 years and no matter how you spin it… a pig is a pig no matter how much lipstick you put on it.

A new Democrat Star is born. He was good tonight… real good. And he’s probably going to give us Republicans a run for our money over the next so many years.  Lol… Politics, gotta love it!

...........................

* First Lady Michelle Obama

(This video posted on YouTube by WSJDigitalNetwork)

Michelle was just awesome tonight… Not the best of speeches but a GREAT presentation that was brilliantly done by her! Now I’m not agreeing with her on many things, not buying into many things she said, if I may… But I do believe she did her husband and Party very well tonight. “Mom in Chief” -- now I liked that. It fits her!

MITT ROMNEY’s PLAN in Afghanistan and Pakistan

Afghanistan and Pakistan - An American Century

Afghanistan/Pakistan Map courtesy of CENTCOM

.

I am here today to tell you that

I am guided by one overwhelming

Conviction and passion: This

Century must be an American

Century. In an American Century,

America has the strongest military in the

World. In an American Century,

America leads the free world and the

Free world leads the entire world.

.

- Mitt Romney,

Remarks at The Citadel,

10/7/11

.

Enjoying the sanctuary of the Taliban government in Afghanistan, al Qaeda set in motion the conspiracy that killed so many Americans on September 11, 2001. We learned many bitter lessons that day, including that we are not safe from enemies who plot freely against us from the other side of the world. That is why so many of our best and bravest young men and women are risking their lives in Afghanistan. Our mission in Afghanistan is to eliminate al Qaeda from the region and degrade the Taliban and other insurgent groups to the point where they are not existential threats to the Afghan government and do not destabilize Pakistan, with its stock of nuclear weapons. Our objective is to ensure that Afghanistan will never again become a launching pad for terror and to send a message to any other nation that would harbor terrorists with designs on the American homeland.

.

OBAMA'S FAILURE

.

    Much of the mission has been accomplished through the courage and dedication of our troops. The killing of Osama bin Laden was a landmark in the struggle for which President Obama deserves credit. Much more, however, remains to be done. Unfortunately, President Obama has repeatedly frustrated and imperiled the American mission through a series of unwise decisions.

    After a protracted deliberation process, President Obama in December 2009 announced he would support a “surge” that would entail introducing an additional 30,000 troops into Afghanistan. But in the very same speech announcing the surge, he put forward a timetable for withdrawal. The mixed message left our Afghan allies in doubt about our resolve and encouraged the Taliban to believe that they could wait us out.

    This past June, President Obama disregarded the counsel of his top military commanders, including General David Petraeus, and announced a full withdrawal of those 30,000 surge troops by September 2012. That date falls short of the commanders’ reported recommendation that the troops remain through the end of 2012 and the Afghan “fighting season” to solidify our gains. That date also happens to be just weeks before a U.S. presidential election. There is no military rationale for it. It raises questions about whether the timing is politically inspired.

    Whatever the motivation behind the decision, it means that our military will be compelled to begin moving troops and equipment out of Afghanistan in the middle of the fighting season, taking away forces and resources it needs to combat the enemy.

.

MITT'S PLAN

.

    Mitt Romney will never make national-security decisions based upon electoral politics. Upon taking office, he will review our transition to the Afghan military by holding discussions with our commanders in the field. He will order a full interagency assessment of our military and assistance presence in Afghanistan to determine the level required to secure our gains and to train Afghan forces to the point where they can protect the sovereignty of Afghanistan from the tyranny of the Taliban. Withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan under a Romney administration will be based on conditions on the ground as assessed by our military commanders.

.

Ensure Buy-In from Afghan and Pakistani Governments

.

    To defeat the insurgency in Afghanistan, the United States will need the cooperation of both the Afghan and Pakistani governments. It is in the interests of all three nations to see that Afghanistan and the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region are rid of the Taliban and other insurgent groups. Mitt Romney will work with both the Afghan government and Pakistan to ensure that those nations are fully contributing to success in Afghanistan. But we will only persuade Afghanistan and Pakistan to be resolute if they are convinced that the United States will itself be resolute. Only an America that appears fully committed to success will eliminate the incentives for them to hedge their bets by aligning with opposing forces.

.

    The United States must be clear in what we require of both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai should understand that our commitment must be met with reciprocal efforts to crack down on corruption in his government, respect free and fair elections as required by the Afghan constitution, and coordinate with the United States on fighting the narcotics trade that fuels the insurgency. Pakistan should understand that any connection between insurgent forces and Pakistan’s security and intelligence forces must be severed. The United States enjoys significant leverage over both of these nations. We should not be shy about using it.
