Obama aide: ‘The country is better off’ | The Ticket - Yahoo! News
And if that isn't enough, here's today's left handed mantra (quote from Yahoo news): "Summing up their point, Obama's aides reinforced the "bumper sticker" line credited to Vice President Joe Biden: "Osama bin Laden is dead, GM is alive."
It is a REALLY desperate move to quote Joe Biden on anything. The guy is a loose cannon that remains disconnected with everything, including the connection between mouth and brain! It scared the hell out of me 4 years ago realizing that this guy is one heartbeat away from the 1st chair in the "orchestra". Now, there is a chance that we could double the bet and have him leading the "orchestra" for four more years. "Forward" they say?? To what?? To where?? In 4 years this administration added $5 TRILLION to the national debt.
Without a doubt, Obama is one fine speaker. He has mastered the teleprompter, and as long as he stays on subject he is great. The problem is that he doesn't follow through. Given his lack of experience in management of money and people, and his disregard for the strength of our country and naivety regarding anything military, he stumbled through foreign policy to the point where we have lost respect from those countries with whom we are having problems. Iran.... they have no respect for us. We are but a clanging cymbal. Substitute Russia, North Korea, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan or Syria and we have the same result. If we keep this up, we are going to put a world of hurt on our military.

From another source-I did a copy n paste, but it sums up my feelings. Stop using the death of Bin Laden as a means to court voters and tell us what we really want to know:
FIVE things YOU won't HEAR at the Democratic National Convention:
1. The National Debt. Now approaching $16 trillion! During the 2008 campaign he roundly attacked President Bush for borrowing from China to spend money we didn’t have. Now it seems that as long as Obama is spending the money, the national debt doesn’t matter.
2. The Real Unemployment Rate. what you won’t hear at the DNC are the real numbers – 23 million people unemployed or underemployed making the real unemployment rate, including those who have stopped looking for work at a staggering 14.9%. Unemployment is also being concealed by the between 3-4 million people who have been added to the Social Security disability insurance program since Obama took office.
3. Gas Prices. Obama hit President Bush hard for rising gas prices in 2008 and promised Americans relief at the pump. When he took office, the national average for a gallon of gas stood at $1.95. Today, on Labor Day, it’s nearly double, and yet he scarcely mentions it. How could he after appointing an Energy Secretary that believes it would somehow be good to have gas prices similar to Europe or after spending $1 billion on a failed so-called green jobs program? Obama’s stonewalling of the Keystone XL pipeline is also further evidence that the president is too focused on making the Chevy Volt viable rather than doing anything to lower gas and energy prices for Americans.
4. More than one third of Americans are on Government Assistance. Obama seems to be all for the culture of dependency, but don’t expect him to trumpet the idea that more than one third of the country is now receiving some form of means-tested government assistance. That number is up from about 24% under Bush.
5. The Federal Jobs Created. For all the talk about the unemployment rate and sluggish private sector growth, Obama has presided over the creation of nearly 150,000 new unionized government jobs during his term. This included thousands of new workers to manage ObamaCare at the IRS and the Department of Health and Human Services. This is a big slap in the face to the unemployed in this country when you consider that the average salary for a federal worker is now in excess of $70,000 plus benefits.
Are we better off?
