Part of cutting the debt is removing the Bush Tax cuts for the 1%.

Part of cutting the debt is getting us out of Afganistan. It's a plan that is in progress now.

Part of cutting the debt was getting us out of Iraq. We are out of Iraq already and no longer spending on Iraq like before.

The Rebubs will increase the debt with continuing the Bush tax cuts on the 1% which are what added to the debt in the first place. And the Rebubs will add to the debt with their massive increase in Defense spending and they likely will get us into another war or two.

As it stands, no one ever thinks about the Trade Ctr. being bombed first go round on Clinton's watch and w/ everyone knowing full well that binLaden was the master-mind.

Clinton is the Dem Rock Star. He did a superb job last night and that is what he was expected to do.

Anyone who didn't think the guy was amazing is more fulla bulla than Clinton himself is.

Accurate? Uh, no. But he has always been known for twisting the truth and pumping up the BS.

The thing is, no one cares, lol. You just wanna love the Comeback Kid.

Clinton is an attorney and he can make you think east is west and up is down.

He will dazzle and delight.

If nothing else, he will confuse. I am still wondering what the meaning of the word "is," is.

Love you, Bill.

I am writing in his name come November. Things might still suck as bad under Clinton, but he would have us all feeling good about it!

Clinton 2016!!!!!!!!
So Clinton makes you feel loved, the Republicans Administration was forewarned about the World Trade and still managed an epic fail, Clinton makes you feel good and Clinton confuses you...

Interesting fantasy you have going on.

nice spin, but thats not what they are talking about.. If you watched the speech you'd know that..

That’s the kind of balanced approach proposed by the Simpson-Bowles commission, a bipartisan commission. … It passes the arithmetic test.â€

And as the Washington Post said

Obama’s jobs plan was more of a rhetorical device, aimed at Republicans, rather than a real plan. He even used the same $1 trillion in previously-agreed savings with Republicans, mentioned above, that was supposed to be in his budget in order to pay for this plan. The jobs plan also would be paid with the imaginary money from winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. (The administration argued that the budget had never passed, so the money could be used again.)

So let me get this straight. I've been a marketing, development/PR professional for 30 years, with about a 10 year stint as a lobbyist. I grew up in a political family, and my husband started his career on the staff of a republican governor. You believe that my comment that Clinton gave a very effective speech is because I'm a woman, and I can't resist Bill Clinton--that I'm SWOONING over him or something?

And you wonder why more and more women, including conservative women, are starting to have one h*ll of a problem with the republican party?

A great number of GOP supporters did. Has to do with the speech being broadcast after 8pm and the average age of Republicans.

Default Michelle Obama's speech full of lies.

Michelle Obama's speech was packed full of lies, not the least of which was her claim that she and Obama grew up under similar circumstances, though Obama grew up "across the country."

How about across the world, Michelle? Obama spent his formative years in Indonesia, attending a Muslim school. He didn't know his father, as his mother left his father only a few weeks after he was born.

Obama's "father figure" was his communist mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, who instilled Obama with communist-Marxist thought.

Obama was brought up to believe America was an oppressor nation, which is why he seemed perfectly comfortable sitting in Jeremiah Wright's church for twenty years listening to Anti-American hate speech. Obama never loved this country. His goal is and always has been to take part in a revolution that would "fundamentally transform the United States of America" (his words).

Clinton is nothing but a con man. Where does that put you?
