Bill Clinton: Obama is showing America the path to a modern economy. That was so funny I forgot it wasn’t a joke! How does verbally minimizing the accomplishments of the private sector – handcuffing businesses with excessive regulations while creating the largest pool of welfare recipients this country has ever known - aid in forging a vibrant economy? How does adding a record 5.5 trillion in debt in a mere four years - devaluing the dollar, the purchasing power of businesses and consumers - help create jobs, more disposable income, in a rising sea of inflation? Why is it, AGAIN,...

A defiant President Barack Obama today told Americans that they are ‘absolutely better off’ than they were when he was sworn into office in January 2009. The question ‘are you better off than you were four years ago’, famously posed by Ronald Reagan in 1980, has dogged the Obama campaign over the past week as aides have responded ‘no, but’ or dodged the issue entirely. ‘We are absolutely better off than we were when I was sworn in and we had 800,000 jobs beoinmg lost in a month,’ he said in an interview with NBC12 in Virginia. The Romney campaign...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Though the 2012 Democratic Party platform declares that the “national security threat from climate change is real, urgent, and severe,” it is apparently not urgent and severe enough to merit mention by speakers at the Democratic National Convention during the past two days. The Daily Caller reviewed the speech transcripts of the over 80 speakers who took the stage at the Time Warner Cable Arena here in Charlotte on Tuesday and Wednesday, and only one mentioned climate change — and even he only mentioned it in passing. “Thanks to President Obama, America is laying the foundation for...

(CBS News) CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday night dove into the depths of policy details and soared on lofty rhetoric to make the case for President Obama's re-election, as he officially nominated the president for the Democratic nomination.

At their national convention in Charlotte, N.C., "Democrats had approved a platform on Tuesday that made no mention of God or Jerusalem," according to the AP. Even President Obama took note of these "omissions," and he, "personally intervened to order Democrats to change language in their party platform to add a mention of God and declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, campaign officials said Wednesday." Despite the party's top man trying to perform damage control: The platform changes did not sit well with some Democratic delegates gathered in Charlotte, N.C., for the party's three-day convention. Many in the...

Here's the hourly schedule, in case you’re among the tiny minority of readers who'd rather watch three hours of identity politics, class warfare, and union stoogery than the Giants/Cowboys season opener. BuzzFeed's quite right that Democrats ran a two-track program last night, larding up the early evening hours with base-pleasing crap about "choice" and organized labor and reserving the 10 p.m. hour for pretend centrism. Same deal tonight, more or less. Between 6 p.m. ET and 10, you'll see AFL-CIO don Richard Trumka; abortion warriors Cecile Richards, Sandra Fluke, and Diana DeGette; amnesty super-shill Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who once declared...

<p>BAIER: Charles, we are just getting word from the Associated Press that President Obama personally intervened to change the Democratic platform language on Jerusalem and God. That is crossing the AP wire. So, obviously, it was important for the Obama campaign to deal with this.</p>

A source from within the DNC convention organizers has announced that attendees for President Obama's acceptance speech on Thursday night will each receive a CD with a re-relased single by Arista Records. Those without tickets to hear Obama's acceptance speech can preview the single at this link. The venue was changed from Panther Stadium to a much smaller venue after DNC convention organizers realized few were interested in listening to Obama.

- After sharp criticism from Mitt Romney and Republicans, the Democrats have reinstated the language into their party platform that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as well as the words "God-given" that were removed in this year's platform.

Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx spoke yesterday at the Democratic National Convention, welcoming attendees to North Carolina’s largest city. Two hours later, the Charlotte Atheists and Agnostics, a local affiliate of American Atheists, held a convention protest, at which they reiterated their demand for absolute “separation of religion and government.” So what does that have to do with Foxx, Charlotte’s first Democrat mayor in 22 years? Well, back in May, Foxx proclaimed “A Day of Reason,” in a bow to the city’s atheists and agnostics. And he “commend(ed) its observance to all citizens.” Sounding very much like the speakers ranting against...

Live 7-day National Weather Forecast for "Uptown" Charlotte.

Yes, this DNC video, played during the convention, said we all belong to the government. Out of the mouths of fools often comes what they really think.

Is it safe to assume that approximately 50% of tonights DNC Convention viewers are primarily watching because they need a good laugh? Did anyone here catch the Rahm Emanuel speech? Was he competing with Marco Rubio? His voice was rather high and sounded like a 13 year old boy "Going Thru The Change".We can all agree that so far that between the Democrat Commentators VS Fox News hosts have been a train wreck, and the auditorium looks half full! What happened to the 35,000 people on the buses?
