Isn't she lovely?

In her prime-time speech Monday, Michelle Obama foiled her harshest detractors and perhaps even won over Middle America.

    Democratic Convention off to bad start............

    With all due respect, when is Barack Obama, and the entire Democratic Party, going to start reminding people in detail that the Republican controlled Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government brought the following to the United States?

    1. The Iraq War

    2. The alleged Hurricane Katrina response, which basically made the US look like a third world country

    3. All time high gas prices

    4. All time high foreclosure rates

    5. Rising inflation and unemployment

    As usual, there is no consistent theme emerging from the Democratic Party Convention. The theme should be "Look at the Republican Party Record. How can the country afford to re-hire these guys based upon the past 8 years." The gloves need to come off, and Obama needs to realize he is in a street fight, not a college debate, with the Republican Party
