We added jobs and continue to do so every month. Not as quickly as people would like, but it's definitely not "bad".

The Republican astroturfers are all hands on deck this morning, I notice.

30 in a row looks OK to most. I would say, if I were looking for a job, I might think about moving to a State with a Dem Gov. They seem to be adding jobs at about twice the rate of States with Repub Govs. What a strange phenomenon...

I don't need statistics about food stamp recipients. In Florida, they will only hire you if you speak Spanish to do eligibility for public assistance.

Well...how did the Dems do? I just could not watch after the first night. The complete ignorance about the plight of our country, made me think this party is wearing donkey blinders.

Default Last Night with Barack...

You know I like the President, but I kept falling asleep during the speech. I felt unsettled in my spirit when I saw last night's convention. I usually feel happy when I see the President speak but for some reason last night my intuition told me otherwise. It concerned me to see that some look to Barack as more than just a human, it appeared as if some looked at him as a Saviour and I do not like that. I don't believe he intends on having people view him that way, I called my friend and said it looks like some people are under a trance in his presence. She agreed.


I have seen the President twice in person and his energy in person is one of warmth and very tender and kind and genuine, but I didnt feel compelled to fall under an Obama trance. One time I was 15 feet away....

I dont know after last night, I looked at him differently. I have NEVER been a follower, it just concerns me that some may not know his cause and adore him just to be saved.

Now I am not going as far as saying I am jumping on the Romney/Ryan bandwagon, because that ticket is Mayhem, but I am proceeding with caution about Nov. 6. I am apprehensive to even say this, I know Obama will be re elected again, Last night I sensed in my heart that after his re election it will be the beginning of the end.

Romney is NOT the answer, I feel a little undecided. I don't know what happened...I was on fire for the President, but something didnt feel right to me last night...

I think I saw that show before. It said "repeat" on my channel listings.
