[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not an Michelle Obama fan, nor am I a fan of her husband, because they are politically far to the left of me.  I expect if he gets a second term, Barack will trend further left.

In spite of that, I think Michelle hit it out of the ball park with her speech last night.  It did what it needed to do, it humanized the president, which is hard to do for any president after 4 years of policy fights.   It emphasized that he was the everyman who lived the American dream and became president.

But, I still know Michelle Obama has in her the "first time I have ever felt proud of my country" spirit.  I know that the campaign outside of the convention is highly negative on both sides and that all politicians lie.   Michelle gave a good speech, but she is not nor will she be president in the next few years.  She might make a fine president, but this is about Barack and the Democrats and Romney and the Republicans.

Plain and simple:  "It's the Economy, Stupid."[/quote]

A very balanced and fair post.  I would add, with regard to your last statement, I agree -- it's the economy, stupid.  However, I don't think that going back to policies of deregulation and tax cuts is the path back to prosperity.  We've got a ways to go, but the president's record is not one to run from.  We've gone from an economy shedding 800,000 jobs a month as a result of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression to one that is actually adding jobs -- and has for 29 straight months.
