Monologue is over - one worthwhile thing to mention if you didn't see it....

I will paraphrase if you don't mind:

"Republicans don't like the President, even the Democrats running don't want him anywhere near him....

"Gasoline is less than $3 a gallon, unemployment is under 6%, and the Stock Market is breaking records,.....

No wonder everyone's mad at him.."

Now why can't the Dem candidates say that same thing over and over for the last month..?

Head'in for bed. Good night...

but Dems are not 'schooled' like repugs are.

I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat. Will Rogers

consequently repugs will be around for a long time; we keep just handing it to them.

and aim to attract a few more" independents" than conservatives. A bit late now, but maybe some voters will surprise us.

11. if Romney were president, with these economic numbers ... the GOP & media would be lauding ...

Let's face it, if a white Republican president were presiding over these economic numbers -- Gasoline is less than $3 a gallon, unemployment is under 6%, and the Stock Market is breaking records -- the media and the GOP would be proclaiming "America Is Back!" and "It's Morning in America Again!"

We would have been bombarded with ad after ad after ad touting the GREAT RECOVERY

9. The rich and powerful will ALWAYS fight to hold onto their control

and they have the resources to do it and succeed.

The voices for justice and equality always have an uphill battle.

What's sad is seeing the low-income and meek buy into it. For protection, methinks.
