Oxy, Bill knocked it out of the stadium tonite!

Not only that but CBS and ABC were forced to 'run over'; thereby extending prime time and the dem message.

This is fantastic and this former President finally explained OBAMACARE!

Best speech ever!

Wonderful post, Oxy. Truman

Wonderful post, Oxy.

Truman used that word "ungrateful" a few times, and I'm sure his handlers winced every time he did. I wrote about his bid for a second term here, and you'll see that the word is in a couple of speeches. It was a battle royal to get people to respect him enough to endorse him for president--and that was just in his own party.

The backstory about the whistle stops was interesting to me, and it's great to know about someone who had actually been there. (I included some of that in my post) Truman made enemies in both camps, but you're right--he was always for the underdog.

Oh this baby is just delicious!

She is all dressed up by mama and she looks up and sees...sees herself; just about the age we know what self might mean.

Delicious.

And her dad is just terrific.

Maybe Texas might become part of America once again!

In reply to I think you are right,

Thanks, Stilli. A couple of days ago I wrote about how good I felt stepping up to the plate on contributions. I'm contributing like a drunken sailor, but what the hell, this is the last harrah. If Romney is elected I'm simply going to sell the business and go underground.

Hey, Mr. Day. I think that's a very key thought---that because we had no primary, we were missing the kind of celebration this convention can produce. Excellent observation. And I am easily tear jerked by a good speech.

Wasn't that three year old, the little Castro girl, the most adorable thing you've ever seen?

Thanks, Smith. When I read

Thanks, Smith. When I read that sentence about the "ungrateful", I actually winced---proof that no politician today would have the guts to throw out a challenge like that. Maybe it was that kind of audacity and free wheeling which people ultimately recognized as authenticity. Let the chips fall, this is who I am.

I absolutely agree that he has to stop appearing like the reasonable bipartisan wonk.

Thanks, Aunt Sam. I heard a quick clip of his interview with Brian Williams, so I think he will set the record straight on the Welfare lies the Romney ads are promoting.

I think you are right, Arthur! Because we've had so much repub crap thrown at us for so long, we've forgotten who we are.

Hopefully we are back!

Yeah, I know...Obama has been a disappointment to many, in many different ways. He made some rookie errors, and at times he listened to the wrong people. He maybe was a little over-confident in his ability to bring parties together, and slow to react to his inability to get the repubs to be rational.

But, we are where we are, and the choice we have is so very clear.

We can sit on our butts and let the repubs have the election, or we can get our butts in gear, find a few bucks SOMEWHERE in our budgets, even if it is $.50, volunteer, do SOMETHING to get Obama re-elected.

Last night reminded me why I liked him so much in 2008, and why I changed my party affiliation. I for one, will be voting FOR Barack Obama and the Democratic Party, not against Mitt Romney.
