There he is in his dry cleaned checkered shirt and pressed and starched and pressed, denim-based trousers of the color aquamarine.

He said sikh temple! They must have practiced with him.

His first Ronald Reagan ref - growth in the economy.
Obama came in with a lot of promises, - if we let him borrow 787 billion, he'd keep unemployment under 8%.
He is reading from a one of those glass-based word screening display devices that the GOP hates so much.

Work is good.

HERE IT COMES. Obama is destroying work-welfare. Liar, liar, denim based trousers enflamed.

as clinton changed welfare, Senator Obama opposed clinton's plan.
Dude, Obama was NOT in the senate when Clinton was president.

He's adopting Obamacare and will improve it. Mentions pre-existing conditions, everyone should get healthcare etc.

The GOP should be about ready to tear him into chunks.

Romneycare - Obamacare - Romneycare.

He lies. Crowd claps when the tone sounds. Hyperbole.

And no, Jimmy John NEVER made sandwiches in a garage. His parents own a huge penthouse condo in Chicago, on top of a ritzie hotel. No garage.

I know him. Jimmy John's sucks. No benefits, bad food (he poisoned 20+ people in chicago), high prices, and poor quality.
His dad underwrote him (a multimillionaire) and provided all the legal help to do the franchising. Some success story, dude.

for Romney. Most are all close shots with people squished in the camera's view.

Then specifically searched for panoramic photos and came up with nothing.

It sounded to me that he's trying to ride on the Democratic ideology in a way only Romney, the shapeshifter can. THAT is just plain eff-d up.

What I would like to hear is from one of the attendees. They were too sparse and to aged to scream and shout like the sound track suggested. Canned applause - a new low for this moran.

I wouldn't expect that in this crowd, didn't really fit but you never know.

The man is a sham and a disgrace.

You know, he's coming to my state Sunday but the local news hasn't said exactly where. I want to tell Mitt how I feel while he's on his way to.....where ever it may be.

Might be staying quiet because they could be worried about protesters showing up, even here.

But the newspaper published just enough to show the barren wasteland of empty seats.

I think the real story is that they canned in applause and cheers.
