Final Grade

Paul Ryan: C

My final grade for you: F

Ryan gets an A. He kicked Obama's ass repeatedly, and was justified in doing so.

Agreed!

Ohio! Yoohoo!

God...why does he keep gasping for air?

Because people need air to live... Seems kind of obvious.

Sarah Palin was more inspiring

Doesn't bode well for Ryan

 

[emptystep]

If Ryan had finished up a hard hitting night it would be a good convention. As it was it was a weak, unguided evening and Ryan was like a small town at the end of several small winding roads.

General Motors Is Headed For Bankruptcy -- Again

President Obama is proud of his bailout of General Motors. That’s good, because, if he wins a second term, he is probably going to have to bail GM out again.

Right now, the federal government owns 500,000,000 shares of GM, or about 26% of the company. It would need to get about $53.00/share for these to break even on the bailout, but the stock closed at only $20.21/share on Tuesday. This left the government holding $10.1 billion worth of stock, and sitting on an unrealized loss of $16.4 billion.

Right now, the government’s GM stock is worth about 39% less than it was on November 17, 2010, when the company went public at $33.00/share. However, during the intervening time, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen by almost 20%, so GM shares have lost 49% of their value relative to the Dow.

“The game isn’t over until it’s over”, but if President Obama wins reelection, he should probably start giving some serious thought to how he is going to justify bailing out GM, and its unionized UAW workforce, yet again. And, during the current campaign, Obama might want to be a little more modest about what he actually achieved by bailing out GM the first time.

Mitt Romney’s ‘Readiness Project’
By Rachel Weiner , Updated: August 17, 2012

The New York Times reports that Mitt Romney’s transition team, dubbed “The Readiness Project,” has started expanding its operation.

“The team is assessing the government and looking for ways to make it more efficient and streamlined,” Ashley Parker reports, and many of the members have private sector experience. Chris Liddell, the former chief financial officer of General Motors, is one.

Did anyone hear anything from the podium they disagreed with? It'll be the same next week with the Democrats.

What is it about a consonant next to a candidates name that makes you guys so stupid?

 

[candycorn]

I missed two and a half hours of tonight's convention.

Man I'm pissed!

That is so sad.
