DNC Day 3 Alternate reality Edition

Joe Biden was allowed on stage for a bit Thursday night. during that time he re wrote history by claiming that Obama personally saved the auto industry, found and killed Bin Laden moving heaven and earth to do so.

Seriously, Biden just claimed that Obama killed Bin Laden but Romney would not have. Only the courage of Obama and his gutsy calls Bin Laden is dead.

New Campaign slogan: Osama Bin Laden is Dead and GM is alive. Despite the fact that last year Obama stated emphatically that he would not use bin Laden for political gain as it was an American victory not an Obama victory.

Medicare: "Republicans will bankrupt Medicare by 2016 our plan has it solvent until at least 2018"

Taxes: Biden is acting as though it is a surprise that Republicans are against raising taxes.

Equal Pay for Equal work: This myth still confuses me. There is not a single women in my department doing the exact same job I do that is not making more money than I am.

Obamacare: "He pushed health care reform through despite the fact that no one wanted it because he personally wanted it." This was a centerpiece of the DNC video introduction of Obama.

Bin Laden: Once again The DNC used Bin Laden as a campaign prop. I cannot recall a single US president ever running on the Death of an Individual. Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Hirohito and the rest none of them were ever used in a campaign video.

54,000 people: No mention has yet been made of any special arrangements for the thousands of people that were planning to see the President but now can't since the venue was changed.

The Definition of Irony: Barack Obama complaining about too much money in a campaign.

"This election is a choice: between 2 paths for this nation." -Barack Obama. I could not agree more. Now is the time to change paths.

Obama Compared his Path to the New deal: It should be remembered that the new Deal is widely credited with extending the great depression by several years and it was only ended by America's entrance into WWII. Will it take WWIII to help us recover from Obama?

Rewarding Companies: Code for "punitive taxes on any company that does not do what we want"

Alternative Energy: Obama is talking about new jobs in alternate energies on the 1 year anniversary of the Solyndra bankruptcy. In addition he talks about lower energy use without acknowledging the fact that gas cost 3.89/gallon now and only cost 1.85 on the day he took office.

10 year plan: Obama keeps mentioning things he wants to do over the next 10 years. Fuel economy, oil imports, hiring teachers, funding medicare. I have to wonder: does he realize this is only a four year job?

I am sure that he said a lot more crap thought sounded plausible and hell maybe he even believes some of it. The simple fact of the matter is that Obama has had 4 years to do the things he is promising that he will now do. During the First 2 years of that time he had a rubber stamp congress with massive majorities in both chambers. If all of these things he wants to do are so good and so important: why hasn't he done it already? If raising taxes is so urgent: why did he extend the tax rates when he had the congress? Why should we believe a word he says?
