President Barack Obama, transformed from inspiring hope-and-change candidate into struggling stay-the-course incumbent, promised Americans wary of giving him another term that "our problems can be solved" if only voters will grant him four more years.
"Know this, America: Our problems can be solved," he told thousands of delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. "Our challenges can be met. The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place. And I'm asking you to choose that future."
"I won't pretend the path I'm offering is quick or easy. I never have," Obama told the cheering crowd in the Time Warner Cable Arena and a television audience expected to number in the tens of millions. "You didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth. And the truth is, it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over a decade."
Obama's main vulnerability is the still-sputtering economy with a stubbornly high unemployment rate at 8.3 percent nearly four years after he took office vowing to restore it to health. In Charlotte, he ridiculed the Republican approach championed by Mitt Romney.
The speech reflected Obama's drive to convince voters to see the election as a choice, and not as a referendum on an embattled incumbent whose job approval ratings are below the 50-percent mark, a traditional danger zone.
"On every issue, the choice you face won't be just between two candidates or two parties. It will be a choice between two different paths for America. A choice between two fundamentally different visions for the future," he said.
At the same time, he did not spell out in detail his plans for a second term should he get one--even as he acknowledged that he is not the candidate he was when he pursued his history-making 2008 drive for the White House.
"You know, I recognize that times have changed since I first spoke to this convention. Times have changed—and so have I," he said. "If you turn away now—if you buy into the cynicism that the change we fought for isn't possible, well, change will not happen."

Now Grace, what is your point!! Do you not recognize honesty when you see it?? Is there something wrong with what Obama states, in your cut and paste?
He was handed a train going full tilt off a cliff. Your hero, Dubya, was the engineer of that train. Two wars, outright lies to the people and an economy in shatters. Obama was called upon to do superhuman feats, go against the wishes of the GOP and attempt to salvage at least the auto industry. Mitt's advice: let it go bankrupt.

Obama's speech last night reminded me of an old advertisement slogan...WHERE'S THE BEEF!
Told the truth. Yes Big Bro he absolutely did.
He basically told the American people that he was responsible for nothing, they were, they are the hope and they are the change.
I gotta admit, that was slicker than grease on a doorknob.
I do have a new name for Obama...Pontius Pilate...wash those hands.
Obama stood there and criticized Mitt for not having a detailed plan included in his convention speech than went on to do exactly the same thing.
Yes the truth was even told after the convention and the Media pretty much called it a wash.

GRACE:Get your facts straight,Ford went to Capital Hill in late 2008 pushing for the rescue of its rivals.Bankruptcy,GM and Chrysler would have had to go out of business,taking down many suppliers.That would have taken down Ford Motor,who would not have been able to get the parts they needed to to build cars.Ford went to Capital Hill in late 2008 and requested a 9 billion line of credit from the Gov.,and 5 billion loan from the Energy Department.If the BIG 3 auto makers went bankrupt,their demise would have triggered 3 Million layoffs,and pension plans gone,which would have then be dumped on the Gov. pension agency.Putting it so you can understand Grace,we would be in a depression now instead of a recession.OBAMA will win this election hands down,in my opinion.

Surprise, surprise ... more than half questioned said "of course". The government can use the money much more effectively. 4 more years of this and the U.S. will make Greece look like an economic miracle.

right wing...speaking of things that are funny - or tragic depending on your bent - you did not disappoint me this morning.
Admit it.
President Obama could have said more or said less and no matter what you would criticize him.
It is no state secret that America has not recovered financially as much as he or anyone had hoped.
However there is more to the job than just the economy.
The reality of America is that the whole society is in a downward spiral.
Most want 'the American dream' but few want to work to achieve it.
Most of them want a safer society but continue to arm themselves and avoid the process of law.
Most want world peace and a smaller military profile but no one wants to cut jobs in the defense industry.
Most say they are Christians but opt for football on Sunday and want their President to go instead.
Most say they believe in the sanctity of family and marriage but they want to keep trying new designer spouses as they age. Or none at all.
In short they say one thing but refuse to change.
Consequently Obama's message of shared pain and responsibility is unpopular.
As a result Romney's example of inherited wealth, less government and fewer entitlements for the masses resonates. Greed is good because it keeps the unwashed in their place.
Unless you are one of them.
And that's what the election is about.
Don't like what Bush Lite did? Pretend it didn't happen.
Don't like the scientific data on global warming in spite of the weird weather? Deny it and buy another SUV.
After all -'God bless America' is proof that they are The Chosen Tribe.
Unfortunately there are many other tribes who disagree and are itching to have their turn.
No President can change the human condition created by too much bounty and too little responsibility.
The dream is over and now the mess needs to be repaired.

Every steel mill in North America went bankrupt (some more than once) in the eighties and nineties. All went thru court administered restructuring and most came out the other side with new owners and new leases on life. The canard that suppliers would disappear and the world would end was scare mongering by unions and their supporters. The billions of tax dollars given to GM, Chrysler and it's workers was unnecessary and will never be repaid.
Every car owner in North America should be able to drop into a GM or Chrysler dealer, and pick up a new Caravan or Impala, that they have already paid for.

Hi everybody!
A major difference in this election is that the GOP has a fighter in their corner, unlike McCain the last time around who refused to counter punch.
Obama is being beaten like a rented mule by the truth. As long as this is a referendum on Obummer's record - he loses. He looks pathetic begging for a second chance and blaming everybody and everything else for his epic FAIL - including the weather!
Sorry dude, but that's what happens when you play too much golf and attend too many Hollywood parties - business suffers.
Meanwhile the dems are becoming an in-cohesive gang of special interest groups who can't agree on anything and are separating at the seams.
And by the way, who cares about what happened when "W" was in office? Nobody.
Bye bye Barak...

Speaking of "depth" ... do you ever consider what you are about to post or reflect on the veracity of the post?

Here's some numbers for ya dedumbo;
Jobless rate is at 8.1% and that's down!
The unemployment rate was actually driven down by people leaving the labor force.
368,000 recently DROPPED OUT, gave up, because Obummers socialist agenda doesn't work.
People do not care about Bush, they are looking at Obummer and his failed policies.
Bush is not a factor, but go ahead, blame him anyway...

Maybe some of you should consider that the Republicans have the combined majority in the U.S. congress and that is why Mr. Obama has had such a hard time w/the economy. The GOP is not allowing the bills he promotes to be passed. Of course that is only one big reason, the other might be that Americans are buying goods and services made in any other country but the U.S. Then there is the mechanization of everything produced or manufactured in the U.S. from goods to services that have made getting and retaining a job almost impossible for some because the manual labour required in said jobs has gone way down.

Well, I see you opted for the "triple down" rather than attempt any defense of your blatherings. Why not try for a "quad". That could surely qualify you as the North American rep at the IOG's.
While reflecting on your "pearls of wisdom" from this and other days I was struck by your regular use(actually overuse) of the words "frothy", "wild eyed"(actually requires a hyphen) and of course "lefties". I can't say that I put this down to economy of language on your part ... I think rather it is due more to your limited and somewhat juvenile store of words. This could have genetic origins ... but it may also be an outcome of your "pinataing/whack-a-moling" over the years.
In any case have you thought about enrolling in the "Evelyn Woodhead Speed Reading Course"? Perhaps upon matriculation you could raise your sights a bit ... and aspire to be Mister Pinata or even Whack-a-Mole Man!
Anyway that's at least two hours spent with the "under fives" ... I'm off to Soo Mill.

Grace, Blues et al. I am not pro either candidate, BUT can you imagine any circumstance whatsoever where Romney's opinion of Obama's speech would be anything but scathing? If Obama had given a bad speech, Romney would be happy. To say he is disappointed means that he is worried by it.
