Your link doesn't say when or where this was taken. We had a University of Nebraska football game yesterday where 300 people were treated in the stadium for heat exposure--it's late summer and it's still miserable here. We're die hard fans and we left at halftime. This has been one of the hottest, driest, and most brutal summers on record--we had a record number of days over 100 F. Do you think by chance that he was trying to keep his remarks brief so people didn't drop like flies in the crowd?
I don't know about you, but my family is a lot better off than we were in January of 2009. The market had crashed and property values had tanked. We've recovered from that, we're moving forward and we've regained a good chunk of our net worth. The question now is if Romney can speed things up and do a better job than Obama has--he can say he'll do a lot of things, but until we see a concrete plan it means nothing. It's time for both of them to lay out their proposals side by side so we can all take a look.
