WOW! Very powerful speech. Didn't really like the references to the troops, but it was a speech that most people can relate to.

I just listened to Ann Romney's speech and it was horrible and sounded insincere! Total Fail!
Sounds like Obama is going to win another term.........
Lets see. How is Obama doing so far? The republicans blame him(The Democrats) for the economy and overspending.
Lets go with that. How did Clinton have a surplus and GWB a deficit?What do you believe the money is being spent on? If we look at the last major increase in the deficit? The answer would be under GWB's watch? War, rising oil prices as a result of the war, the STIMULUS PLAN! Why was there a need of a stimulus plan? Maybe because of all the jobs being outsourced and loss of American jobs leading to a recession?
What else is responsible? Lets talk about income. Outsourcing(blaming Bush and Clinton) has reduced jobs and thus income tax for the Gov. Also Bush's tax cuts for the rich has also reduced income for the government, meant on increasing jobs though only resulted in financing the Big corporations move over seas.
It is clear the problem is a little bit of both, but the MAIN problem is income UNLESS you can come up with some figures showing where the mis-allocation of funds are being misspent.
Maybe all the dictators America finances(with tax payer money) world wide for corporate gain?
Therefore who is to blame for the economy? The Democrats or Republicans?
When Obama took office he had limited choices. GWB had dug a big hole for America. Obama either had to fill the hole(Raise taxes) and the Republicans would have complained. Cut government spending(reduce the huge government GWB installed, because of lack of jobs due to outsourcing). That would call for Greece like Austerity plans. And the republicans again would complain. Or 3) keep trying to dig deeper( GWB style) and continue with the stimulus route. Of which the republicans continue to complain about but was ok when GWB racked it up.
Lets face it people. Only protectionism and jobs will save America OR like I said. The Asian businessmen ALL return to China and China becomes a huge consumer nation(after increasing their currency value). OR my favorite? The entire global economy collapses and we start from scratch.
Lets talk about Obamacare.
The reason for Obamacare was that the American health system was broken. Everyone knows it! Either because it is too expensive or because of the outsourcing of jobs, which resulted in less people having health insurance! Who took the hit? The government(tax payer/consumer)! Thus health care costs became a dead weight to the health care system adding billions of dollars to the deficit. To counter that, Obama forced many people who could afford health care insurance to buy it. To reduce the deficit! Which is a win win situation for Americans. I just dont like the fact that private insurance companies are in charge of the rates.
