President Obama Presents American Jobs Act

President Barack Obama's Remarks at the 2012 Democratic National Convent...

Vice President Joe Biden at the 2012 Democratic National Convention

Elizabeth Warren's Remarks at the 2012 Democratic National Convention - ...



                                                                                                                                                                              This is an exciting speech by a fearless contender for the Massachusetts Senate.  She "gets it" about how Wall Street has caused the downfall of this country and needs to be regulated.  That's why they are fighting to keep her from being a new law-maker in this country.   She has President Obama's back and she deserves to be listened to and voted into office.  She is courageous to admit that the US system "is rigged", which we all know but cannot prove.  She is one of few who we can count on to fight for citizen rights in this great country of ours.  She needs to be supported, and if she wins, all America wins.  Mostly I admire her guts to bring forth the Christian principle of the Lord telling us "what you do to the least of these, my brethren, you do it unto Me."   That is what should guide the conscience of America, and she brought it to the forefront.  Thank you Elizabeth Warren.  May you achieve your goals.

Bill Clinton's top 15 crowd pleasers at DNC

Bill Clinton's top 15 crowd pleasers at DNC

These are excerpts of the former president's 48 minute speech.  Even though I am an Independent, there is no way I could not admire the candor, freshness, boldness, explanatory and electrifying nature of this speech.  It needs to be listened to in its entirety.   But these highlights give one a great insight to the reality.
