I found it interesting he compared himself to FDR -second greatest President of the 20th century

Obama has the soaring oratory, but is almost always somewhat vague. Not unusual for a politician, but Biden really touched the crowd, and probably some outside the arena.
Then there was Caroline…she is her mother’s daughter, a bit meek, and not a great speaker.

I’m not surprised he compares himself to FDR for 2 reasons
a. he’d love 3 terms
b. FDR was as socialist… gov’t program after gov’t program… and we’re still stuck with them

Clinton gave a long- winded speech.washingtonexaminer.com/dem-convention-becomes-anti-akin-affair/article/2505601#.UDTrtEJibk0

And people are worried about the Republican platform not making an exception for the life of the mother?.
Pro abortion political action funds donating to Democratic party candidates, and are given a speaking slot at the convention?
Sounds legit!
Why would you want an x president that was impeached on two charges to back you up any way?
The man wore shorts in the oval office it says a lot about his charactor. No class at all.
Seems democrats have a short memory.

I know…the least he could have done was read up on the job before he ran.

DaddyGirl, President Obama must believe in God then. He apparently knows too that God is not a word in a party platform.

You mean after Reagan, I suppose. Some Democrats might say after Truman, or even LBJ or Clinton. For me, FDR reigns supreme: no other President of the last century can touch him. Our country would likely have gone under without him.

Both he and Romney said have invoked God as such in their speeches, so yes, they have some basic things in common.

FDR was elected to a fourth term, and he literally saved the nation.

I repectfully disagree… I hold the opinion the country was worse for all FDR"s “help” that he is revered for

He’s definitely at the top of my list…second…hard to say. They all pale in comparison to FDR and the challenges he faced.

If you’re going to quote someone when they invoke their Catholicism and say “As a Catholic” at least get their words right.
Caroline Kennedy said “As a Catholic woman, I take reproductive health seriously, and today, it is under attack. This year alone, more than a dozen states have passed more than 40 restrictions on women’s access to reproductive healthcare. That’s not the kind of future I want for my daughters or your daughters. Now isn’t the time to roll back the rights we were winning when my father was president.”

But I’m not one to say. I don’t know. Maybe Catholics don’t take women’s reproductive health seriously.
