THE democrat CONVENTION

Monday
Linden watched a bit of the convention on PBS. Saw some but more than was needed of Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy. The most interesting thing was when an announcer said that Kennedy being there was a surprise: There were enough “Kennedy” signs in the audience to render this statement suspect. Talk radio called it boring and the Michelle Obama speech as a joke.
Tuesday
Linden watched even less of the PBS presentation. Some serious looking guys were engaged in an uninteresting conversation. A health care worker read that Senator Obama joined her in her work one day last year. Linden wondered if the Senate was in session at the time.
Wednesday
Linden heard Evan Bayh say, “We can not afford another four years of Washington as usual.” That would mean turning him out: Not a bad idea. Does he not know that the democrat House has now been on vacation for three weeks with the oil crisis not yet addressed, the appropriation bills unfinished (maybe not started) and the bank and housing problems being traceable to mistakes made by Congress? The Bill Clinton speech was well presented: Contained inaccuracies.
Thursday
Talk radio focus on lies. Linden occasionally switched from a football game to the convention but saw little of interest or that was impressive. Did not stay up for the finale.
Summary
Pretty weak! Our country may well be headed for trouble of the kind that most citizens have never experienced.
