President Obama’s Acceptance Speech – “I Am The President.” – Video

On Thursday night, President Obama took the stage at the Democratic National Convention and proclaimed to the nation and the world, that he accepted the party’s nomination for the presidency. And with that out-of-the-way, the 44th President of the United States picked up where earlier speakers left off.

In his address to the nation, Mr. President outlined some of his successes and where he plans to take the country if given another chance. He also mentioned the inexperience Republican ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan saying, “my opinion and his running mate are… new to foreign policy.” At one point Mr. Obama reminded the audience ( and those trying to take is job) that he is “the President.”

Watch the entire speech below.

Bill Clinton Was Right – Democrats Create More Jobs Than Republicans

Clinton pointed out that under Democratic presidents since 1961, the economy has added 42 million private-sector jobs, while under Republicans it has added just 24 million. He used the same concept to argue that President Obama has outscored both congressional Republicans and his GOP presidential opponent, Mitt Romney, in terms of creating jobs.

Clinton has some intriguing facts on his side. Aside from a rounding error, his historical numbers are accurate (figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the tally under Democrats since 1961 rounds to 41 million, not 42 million). I crunched the numbers a few different ways to see if Clinton was cherry-picking the best numbers. His figures measure job gains from the month a president took office until the month he left. Since it takes a year or so for any president’s policies to go into effect, I also measured job gains from one year after each president took office till one year after he left. Here’s the score by that measure: Democrats: 38 million new jobs, Republicans, 27 million.

Clinton only mentioned private-sector jobs, so I pulled the data for all jobs, including government. Again, the Dems have a big edge, accounting for 48 million new jobs, compared with 31 million for Republicans. If you push the boundaries out one year for each president, the gap narrows to 44 million new jobs under Democrats, and 34 million under Republicans.

Sister Simone Campbell Highly Disapproves of the Romney Ryan Budget – Video

When the Nuns are against you, then the choice is clear. We should just call this whole election for President Obama. The Nuns have spoken!

Sister Simone Campbell, who organized an event called Nuns On The Bus and traveled to many States educating Americans on the dangers of Paul Ryan’s budget, appeared at the Democratic Convention on Wednesday night and bellowed her disapproval of the Romney/Ryan team and the budget that Ryan authored. A budget that, according to Sister Simone, “makes life more difficult for poor hardworking Americans.”

“Paul Ryan claims that his budget reflects the principles of our shared faith” the Sister said, as she spoke the entire speech in a loving caring voice, a smile on her face as she dismantled the me first-me only attitudes of today’s Republican party.

Sister Simone reminds us that no matter our race, gender, or religious creed, we must never forget our fellow-man or leave them behind. It is that notion that our Nation was founded upon.

Sister Simone finished her speech by urging the audience to “stand with the Nuns” saying, “we care for the 100 percent, and that would secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our nation.”

The 100%.

We are all important and relevant and social equality and justice should always prevail.
