Default Obama's Convention Speech: The Preacher Turns Pragmatist

He said Americans have a choice between two futures for their country. Will that message be enough to help him beat Romney?

He is a failed leader with failed policies. For the good of the United States and of the world he must fail in his reelection bid!

Default Obama the pragmatist?

You all have probably been to consumed with your own Euro troubles to notice, but Obama's never uttered a pragmatic word in his career on our national stage unless it was to explain that his crazy, out of synch plans to turn America in to you guys might have been too ambitious.

On second thought, you probably wouldn't have noticed if you'd noticed. After all, you guys thought up the Euro on the cheap, tried to make yourselves into America in spite zero similarities with the US, and actually believed you'd found the answer to European fractiousness. We all know how that's been working for you. Sometimes I wonder what you see when you look in a mirror.
