My thoughts on GOP convention

As conventions go, the recent GOP convention in Tampa was at least average in the party getting its message out, which basically amounted to Obama has failed and the team of Romney and Ryan will be successful in creating jobs.

Several speakers electrified the crowd with attacks on the Obama administration while  others, like Condoleezze Rice, sobered those attending and watching on television with a warning that the United States must lead in national affairs.   (Transcript can be found here TRANSCRIPT)  The Democrat spokesmen on TV were most upset with the stirring words of Ryan as he strongly attacked Obama while promising the Romney-Ryan team will bring prosperity.  They also took offense at the ridiculing of Obama by "make my day" Clint Eastwood.

Meanwhile, Louisiana and other Gulf states struggled to cope with Hurricane Isaac and its winds and floods

In other tragic weather news, an earthquake and tsunami has hit the Philippines.  The wife of one of my sons lives on an island which was subject to damage.  We have been unable at this time to communicate.
