Lyin' Ted Is A Do-Nothing!

HUD Secretary Julian Castro and twin brother Joaquin Castro, U.S. Congressman from Texas. One of the Castro brothers is considering a run against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). 

Lyin' Ted may find a real challenger in the 2018 U.S. Senate reelection bid.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), the failed 2016 presidential candidate took a nosedive after he spoke at the Republican National Convention.

He refused to endorse Donald Trump and Mike Pence as the Republican ticket. He got roundly booed and hissed at for this. Conservative agitators are pissed that Cruz and many others in the #NeverTrump movement are basically giving Hillary Clinton the win.

Now in his own state, Texas, many Republicans are tired of him. While there's no real challenger on the Republican side to take him on in the primary, he may face a challenge from the Democrats.

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro or his brother Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) may consider running for the seat. Julian was mentioned as a top tier in Hillary Clinton's presidential bid. If she fails at winning the presidency, the junk food media will zero in on Julian as the top-tier for 2020.

Joaquin who is the twin brother of the HUD secretary is tired of the do-nothing showboating Cruz.

He said that it's a strong possibility that he may jump into this. He wants to see if Texans are willing to finally give a Democrat a chance.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) are up for reelection. These two are failed presidential candidates as well.

Paul who was running for reelection and president is soured upon Kentuckians. He is a do-nothing who showboats like Cruz and Rubio. However, he's facing the Democratic mayor of Lexington, Jim Gray who is an openly gay man. The Kim Davis scandal and Matt Bevin already signals that Kentucky will reluctantly vote for Paul over the Democrat.

Ted Cruz saw his political fortune fall.

Rubio changed his mind and is facing two Democrats who are just as bad as he is. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) is a better contender than Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL). Grayson is scandal plagued. Murphy has ethics issues. Rubio is a do nothing lawmaker and has bad blood with Floridians.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is the 2008 failed presidential nominee. He's facing a challenge from the right and a tough Democratic opponent in the general. While Arizona is a likely Republican, if McCain loses this will be the first time in modern history a failed presidential candidate loses his bid for the senate.

Given the circumstances, I don't want to bet on who controls Congress. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both equally disliked by a majority of Americans. President Barack Obama is at least in positive territory among the American public.

Dems Ordered The Philly Cheesesteak!

The Democratic Party picks Philadelphia.

Dems will host their convention in Philly. They passed over BKNY and the CO as their final choice.

Republicans picked Cleveland, Ohio as their choice for their national convention. So these events within 245 miles of one another.

Like Cleveland, the people over in Philadelphia, Trenton, Camden, NJ and Wilmington, DE will prepare for the donkeys. The Philadelphia area will see some $$$, protesters and the junk food media swarm the Wells Fargo Center and Philadelphia Convention Center in late July 2016.

Mayor Michael Nutter will do his best to keep the problems out of the event. He will push the ghetto into the trash bin.

The City of Brotherly Love residents will see pizza places and bars rise in revenue. After all the pizza places and nightclubs will be hoping that $$$ will travel. The country, rave, rock and hip-hop music establishments are favorites among young Democrats.

The City of Brotherly Love will host the Dems.

Agitators of the racist right will be in the city with cameras in tow to find that one Black or Hispanic Democratic voter who will say they gotten their "Obama Phone".

As with the Republicans, Democrats are looking for the night life to be a little bit sexy. The pimps and prostitutes will see $$$ in their eyes. The female and male prostitutes will make Democrats feel so good when they arrive. They will probably pick up weed sack.

Philadelphia the fifth largest city in the U.S. is the midway point between New York and Washington, DC. The population is 1.6 million residents.

Philly is close to Atlantic City as well.

It's where America's founding began.

The Democrats will eventually nominate their candidate. They are hosting this gig in late July.

U.S. Talking With Cuba!

Break the ice. In a historical move, President Barack Obama is set to announce that the United States is going to lift the ban on Cuba.

The Cold War is over. It's been announced that the United States will repair relations with Cuba.

Certainly it's going to piss off the racist right. After all, it's something that's been in the works for years. Their sworn enemy has shaken hands with Raul Castro some time ago when Nelson Mandela passed away.

This is the biggest shift of diplomacy in 50 years.

American officials say the U.S. and Cuba will start talks to normalize full diplomatic relations as part of the most significant shift in U.S. policy toward the communist island in decades.

Officials say the U.S. is also looking to open an embassy in Havana in the coming months. The moves are part of an agreement between the U.S. and Cuba that also includes the release of American Alan Gross and three Cubans jailed in Florida for spying.

Alan Gross the American accused of spying in Cuba was released.

Gross has been released from Cuba after five years in prison, a senior Obama administration official tells the AP. The official says Gross has departed Cuba on a US government plane bound for the United States. He was released on humanitarian grounds by the Cuban government at the request of the United States, per the official. ABC News reports that his release comes as part of a "landmark humanitarian prisoner exchange" that Obama will announce today, and an overhaul in US-Cuba relations born from more than a year of "secret back-channel talks at the highest levels of both governments." Obama is set to speak at noon today, reports CNN.

The AP reports the three Cubans released in exchange for Gross are part of the so-called Cuban Five—a group of men who were part of the "Wasp Network" sent by Cuba's then-President Fidel Castro to spy in South Florida. The men, who are hailed as heroes in Cuba, were convicted in 2001 in Miami on charges including conspiracy and failure to register as foreign agents in the US. Two of the Cuban Five were previously released after finishing their sentences. Today's news comes two weeks after Gross' wife said her husband was "literally wasting away" in prison, having lost more than 100 pounds—as well as five teeth—over the years. Gross was in 2011 convicted of espionage and sentenced to 15 years for bringing telecommunications gear into Cuba while working for USAID as a subcontractor.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) said the agreement includes normalizing banking and trade ties with Cuba.

There's speculation that the Florida senator is considering a run for the White House.

The Big Bank Theory Sacks The President's Address!

CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox are not going to air the president's address to the nation on his executive order to loosen immigration rules. They got a big lineup of shows on and they're not going to risk hearing the wrath of angry couch potatoes.

The president and Congress have failed in getting things done this session. The U.S. Senate passed a immigration reform bill but the House of Representatives didn't. It's likely going to die. The Keystone XL pipeline also died. The House passed it with strong Republican majority and died on one by the U.S. Senate. The Republicans with their 54 majority in the U.S. Senate, will wrangle some conservative (spineless chickenshit) Democrats to pass it in the new session. Nonetheless, the immigration reform is off the table. The healthcare law is going to be repealed again and this time Republicans will hang this around the neck of the next batch of Democrats up for slaughter.

The president is hoping to please Hispanics, Asians and non-American citizens by relaxing rules on federal immigration laws. He has the power to do so, but it comes with a price. This will spark a debate on getting a law passed in the lame duck session of Congress. It will also spur the notion that the president didn't listen to the American voter. Or perhaps the Republican Party is truly the party of racist and ignorant assholes.

The Republicans are threatening to shut down the government and impeachment if the president goes through on his promise.

So the president is telling the Republicans that he's done fucking around with them. He's got two years, he's going to go hard and finally push them to the edge. Republicans won the Midterms on the notion of fear and the president's low approval with his supporters.

The big networks are not giving the president an opportunity to broadcast his message. They are willing to stream it online, but no interruption of scheduling.

The Big Bank Theory is the country's most watched sitcom. The CBS Executives would be happy to air the address, but not on Thursday. The same goes for ABC, they have Grey's Anatomy and Scandal on Thursday. They don't want to deny the stans an opportunity to see episode.

Fox got Bones and Gracepoint that air. NBC got the Biggest Loser. A big reality show for the couch potatoes. Although these shows pull a huge base of stans, CBS and ABC win the night.

NBC's sister station Univision and the cable news channels are going to air the president's address to the nation.

The racist right is talking about it. They feel that this is a "snub" to the president.

Think what could happen if there's a serious event in America and the president speaks. We seen how they've reacted during the Sandy Hook school shooting a few years back. One Sunday, he talks during a NFL conference game and these racist bastards go all out on him.

Don't worry, the message will be heard!

Sad news, The Millers was given the ax on CBS. The sitcom was promoted on Monday after The Big Bang Theory and later 2 Broke Girls. According to the gods of junk food media criticism, ratings dropped fast.

So in order to finish off the sitcoms void, CBS is likely going to ax, Mike & Molly will take the helm. The show is coming back (for the time being). Mom, The McCarthys, are on the bubble as well as Mike & Molly. They are ending Two & Half Men after Angus T. Jones quit the show. The Charlie Sheen era netted nine seasons. The fiasco did help push the show for three more seasons. But with the half man gone, it's curtains for the long running sitcom.

The Millers starred Will Arnett, Sean Hayes, Margo Martindale, Beau Bridges and J.B. Smooth

Julián Castro Raising The Stakes!

San Antonio mayor Julián Castro will be the pick for HUD. His brother Joaquin is a Democratic U.S. Congressman from Texas. 

Soon the San Antonio mayor will be a part of President Barack Obama's administration giving the junk food media more speculation that he may be a potential contender for White House.

The bid for the secretary of Housing and Urban Development is going to filled today.

Shaun Donovan will resign from this post today to be the nominee for the Office of Budget Management.

Julián Castro delivered the Democratic keynote speech in 2012 giving the junk food media a bone. His speech rings echos of then candidate for U.S. Senate Barack Obama's famed 2004 Democratic keynote speech.

Obama would win his bid for the U.S. Senate. Most media analysis knew that Obama was an early front runner for the White House. Although he kept it under wraps until 2007, the talk was growing. I knew from the jump that Barack Obama was the first serious Black contender for the White House.

I have this feeling again. I believe that Castro will be the best candidate for the Democratic nomination.

I really believe that Hillary Clinton is destined for failure. She's a well liked and also most talked about politician. She was a former First Lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State.

The two things that may sink her chances: Perennial candidate and she carries a lot of baggage.

Conservatives will whine Benghazi, Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky, age, and Bill Clinton every chance they get. They really are obsessed with Clinton and especially Obama.

I have a feeling that she'll be toying around the notion of running for president, but in reality she won't.

Castro being young, Hispanic and well-liked is the perfect choice for the Democrats.

Democrats have a growing Hispanic/Latino base. He seems to have the formula of President Barack Obama in connecting to young voters with the internet.

Republicans are hoping to appeal to the young voters. They figure that hip-hop Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida could pull in a few.

Castro will be mention frequently on Journal de la Reyna.

Obviously if he declares his intent to run, expect the attacks from the racist right to come.

First his last name will be compared to Fidel Castro. He's Hispanic, so once again the birth certificate rumors. Then they'll attack his brother, his wife and even his child. They will take shots at San Antonio.

The racist right will claim that Blacks and Latinos vote only on race instead of policies.

The racist right will do a Obama style NIGGERZATION on Castro.

GOP Pulls The Plug On CNN and NBC!

Still search for the rainbow. The Republican chairman Reince Priebus is upset over CNN and NBC plans to produce biographies on Hillary Clinton. Probably isolating more voters. They're weaker than I've thought!

The Republican National Committee voted to ban CNN and Obama News from participating in the 2015 - 2016 Republican primary debates. They have decided that the possibility of making a documentary on the life of Hillary Clinton was too much for them to swallow.

Seeing how desperate the Republicans are, they've lashed out at two media giants at their own peril.

See you can't have every debate on Loserville. It's obvious that Loserville is the Republican talking points network because it's coverage is like a Republican campaign ad.

Chairman Reince Priebus is still searching for the rainbow. That Republican rainbow is mostly WHITE.

I guess this threat is real. Since the networks are full steam ahead on the bios, CNN and Obama News are dropped. The vote was unanimous.

Priebus said CNN has "an obvious bias."

Republicans whining about Hillary Clinton got CNN and NBC banned from debates. Republicans applaud Loserville for anti-Obama stories and George W. Bush bios.

"That's a network that won't be hosting a single Republican primary debate," Priebus declared, receiving a standing ovation from Republican activists from across the country gathered for the committee's summer meeting in Boston.

In a statement, CNN said a division of the company planned to air a documentary about Clinton in 2014.

"The project is in the very early stages of development, months from completion," the CNN statement read. "We encouraged all interested parties to wait until the program premieres before judgments are made about it. Unfortunately, the RNC was not willing to do that."

Even before the Clinton dispute, Republican leaders favored plans to have fewer presidential debates with more friendly moderators. They believe their 2012 presidential candidates spent too much time beating up on each other in last year's monthslong primary season, contributing to Mitt Romney's loss.

"Our party should not be involved in setting up a system that encourages the slicing and dicing of candidates over a long period of time with moderators that are not in the business of being at all concerned about the future of our party," Priebus told reporters.

Democratic National Committee spokesman Michael Czin criticized Friday's vote.

"Instead of modifying their policies to actually present smart solutions for middle class families, the only thing the GOP can unite behind is a plan to continue to limit the audiences and voters to whom they will communicate," he said.

And to that is a big shrug and sigh.

They're really afraid of Hillary Clinton. They can't stand her. They really can't stand President Barack Obama. They've shown the president more disrespect since he's taken office in 2009.

The Republican Party is on the slow path to becoming the Whigs. Soon the factions will fight with on another. Then they'll split.

The libertarians will feud with the establishment. The moderates will fight against the conservatives. The Tea Party will fight against the Republican leadership. These deep divisions are known.

Republicans fear Hillary Clinton could be the next President of The United States.

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and New Jersey governor Chris Christie have put the family business out there.

And while they're all unified against President Barack Obama, I'll bet you that if Hillary Clinton should run, the Republicans will eventually throw everything at her and end up costing the election once again.

No candidate from both parties seems viable to be president. The only person I see viable as the President of the United States is San Antonio mayor Julian Castro.

Hopefully he'll be able to take an opportunity to explore his opinions.

Of course, I believe the CNN and Obama News ban is temporary. They'll regret cutting off the networks.

Not all Republicans watch Loserville.

Sebastian de la Cruz Is A Real American!

Defying the odds, a 10-year old boy tells the world that the show will go on!

Bravo, little soldier.

The 10-year old boy who sung the national anthem at the NBA Finals was the subject of harsh criticism and downright racist remarks from the conservative/white supremacist bubble.

Hey, didn't these guys get the memo about 2043?

If that's not the case, they'll have less than 30 years to figure out why it's happening faster than they've expected.

Sebastian de la Cruz wowed the crowd with his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. But he also wowed the Twitter-verse with praise and downright evil comments from a bunch of jackasses.

It would be so nice if these assholes said this to the face of this little boy. But unfortunately, here in the United States, we're still in the mindset that our country is "the land of the free".

Only free for "real Americans" and not those evil "MEXICANS" or "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS".

They didn't happen to notice the boy is an American child.

Okay, this is ridiculous but that's how these people act.

Seeing the outpouring of ignorance online, Julian Castro and the San Antonio Spurs gave Sabastion another opportunity to sing for the fans.

He is the young mariachi singer who went on NBC's America's Got Talent.

The coaches of the NBA Finals series between the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat came out and gave him congratulations and praise for standing in the face of opposition.

Social Hill!

Joining Twitter, the former First Lady is teasing the junk food media with talk about a run for president. Since leaving the Washington scene, Hillary Clinton has maintained high approval among the Democratic faithful.

The woman who done everything made one new achievement. The former of many is now an official Twitter user. Hillary Rodham Clinton, you may have heard of her. 

Since joining the social network, she obtained over 350,000 followers and growing.

Clinton describes herself as a wife, mom, lawyer, women & kids advocate, FLOAR, FLOTUS, US Senator, SecState, author, dog owner, hair icon, pantsuit aficionado, glass ceiling cracker, TBD...

After all she is the wife of 43rd president Bill Clinton. She was the First Lady of the United States, a former New York U.S. Senator, a former Democratic candidate for president, and former U.S. State Secretary under President Barack Obama.

Being a mother, a devoted wife during her husband's affair, and an outspoken independent woman, Clinton became the voice of the working woman. 

In the struggles and success, Mrs. Clinton face political foes from the right and left. 

Republicans loathe her just as much as her husband, Bill. 

The Clintons were a target of harsh criticism during the 1990s. 

The talk of Hillary Clinton running for higher office came around the time she became a U.S. Senator. During that time, a little unknown Illinois state senator was running for the U.S. Senate.

The historical race between her and Barack Obama tore a lot of Democrats. Some Democrats hated Obama because they've perceived him as inexperienced and were uncomfortable with his race. They went on to become Republicans and Tea Party activists.

Hillary Clinton ran a unsuccessful run for president. She eventually conceded the race and endorsed Obama.

The rift was mended when Barack Obama became the president defeating perennial candidate John McCain, the U.S. Senator from Arizona and Republican presidential nominee. Obama picked Clinton as his Secretary of State. 

At the time, while President Barack Obama was sliding downward in polls, Clinton was rising. Her job approval post elected office was at an all-time high.

The word TBD means to be determined. 

The talk of Hillary Clinton running for president is still relevant among the junk food media. 

Republicans were hoping to taint the potential for her perennial quest at becoming the first woman ever to be the president. This constant drumbeat of Benghazi will continue to be an issue with Clinton because it was under her watch an attack happened at the Libyan consulate in which four Americans were killed.

Buzzfeed tracks the progress of Clinton's social network count.

Although the facts stated that terrorism was involved, many Republicans continue to deny that the playing of an anti-Islamic film was spread around the social networks. That erupted in massive protests in  Egypt, Tunisia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Morocco, and eventually Libya. 

Terrorist managed to get a hold of firearms and explosives. They were tipped off by Libyan workers at the consulate where CIA operatives were and they've proceeded to attack. 

Now this is still an controversial issue and the classified information to what happen hasn't made it to public knowledge. All the Republicans have are the talking points and the theory that President Barack Obama and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "allowed" Americans to die because of the U.S. Elections.

Of course, that didn't help perennial loser Mitt Romney win the presidency. And now we're in the middle of the year, and the Republicans are still harping on Benghazi along with the IRS and NSA scandals.

Somehow they'll end up overplaying their hand. Because all the belly ringing over Hillary Clinton the possibility of her running in 2016 is getting louder. She will be the oldest woman to ever run for higher office.

If she would declare an intent run in 2015, she would be 68 years old. 

Anyway, there's no serious candidate so far. 

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Rick Santorum, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, are often floated as potential candidates. But I have my doubts they're even thinking about it. They know the risk since they're the ones who are screaming the loudest. They don't want the responsibility.

The Democrats are even more weaker than I've expected. There's talk about New York governor Andrew Cuomo, Maryland governor Martin O'Malley, Newark mayor Cory Booker, San Antonio mayor Julian Castro and Vice President Joe Biden. I don't see the buzz in these candidates.

But if Clinton and Biden do run, they'll be older than Ronald Reagan when he ran for president.

Thanks for the inspiration @asmith83 & @sllambe - I'll take it from here... #tweetsfromhillary

It's On!

Julian and Joaquin Castro are the power players in the Democratic Party. Julian is the mayor of San Antonio and thought to be a rumored 2016 U.S. Presidential Candidate. His brother Joaquin was elected to be a member of Congress.

Joaquin Castro, Tammy Baldwin, Ted Cruz, Kyrsten Sinema, Angus King and many others will join the United States Congress.

Castro, a Texas state representative won easily a U.S. House race and he'll take the seat of retiring Congressman Charlie Gonzalez (D-Texas). His twin brother Julian, is the mayor San Antonio, Texas and is floated by some as a potential front runner for the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. Castro is one of the political voices the nation will be hearing from in the coming years. Joaquin being a resident of his brother's city will be a representative of his constituents.

Baldwin is a Democratic U.S. Congresswoman from Wisconsin. After a resurgence of embattled Governor Scott Walker, and former presidential nominee Mitt Romney picking Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), Republicans saw Wisconsin in play for the 2012 U.S. presidential elections. The state was expected to be a pick up for the Republicans. They've thought wrong! President Barack Obama carried the state easily and it helped Baldwin squeeze out a victory in the U.S. Senate race against the former Republican state governor and perennial candidate for president Tommy Thompson. Baldwin is the first openly gay person to be elected to office. Her victory rides the coattails of Elizabeth Warren, a consumer advocate who trounced Senator Scott Brown (R-Massachusetts) in a hotly contest race.

King is the former governor of Maine. Best known for his independence from the political parties, his victory came as no surprise. The Republican senator Olympia Snowe was a sure shot for victory. Her frustration with her Republican leaders led to her departure. She is one of the few pro-choice members of the Republican Party. She and Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) are looked upon by President Barack Obama when it comes to tie breaking votes in a filibuster. The Republicans were hoping that they could win back the Senate on the basis of frustration with the president. The president hasn't put much influence in the senate races because of him being slightly toxic in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Florida, Missouri, Massachusetts, and Montana. Maine was different. Some residents were not fond of the direction of Tea Party endorsed Republican governor Paul LePage and Maine doesn't tolerate partisanship. The Democrats weren't fond of their candidate so they've decided put their efforts into a spoiler. King easily beat out the Republican and Democrat in the Senate race. And while it's likely he'll have committee with the Democratic majority, he'll push forth his brand of independence from the political fray. He and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) will be the only elected members who aren't politically affiliated with national party.

Arizona welcomes its first openly bisexual woman Kyrsten Sinema to the House of Representatives. The Democratic nominee beat out a tight race against a Republican Vernon Parker. Arizona and Florida are the hub of controversy in the wake of long waits for voting. The president in his victory acceptance speech promised he'll deal with voter intimidation.

Congressman Ron Barber (D-Arizona) may be able to squeak out a victory if the recount goes his way! He is a tough fight for a full term. Barber was also a victim of a tragedy. His boss Gabrielle Giffords resigned from Congress this year after a traumatic injury resulting from a shooting from Jarrod Lee Loughner. Loughner opened fire on her and others killing six and injuring 30. The shooter was sentenced to life in prison for the tragedy. He may face the death penalty for the killing of a federal judge. Barber was picked to succeed her.

Ted Cruz, the Tea Party endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate won easily in the race in Texas. The state of Texas is a Republican stronghold. But to senate-elect Cruz, he's stated: "Not so fast!" Texas is a minority-majority state. Over 55% of the state's population is minorities. So that means approximately 35% of the state's residents are non-White Hispanics (or purely Latino) citizens. Blacks are 10% of the state's population and 15% are of other races (Native American, Asian American or mixed). Whites make up only 45% of the state's population. It leaves it open for a Democratic takeover if the Republicans stop the war on minorities. The Republicans are still two feet in the manure over immigration reform. The Cuban-American was born in Canada, ran against Texas lieutenant governor David Dewhurst in the Republican senatorial primary.

Tammy Duckworth was elected to serve as a congressowman in the state of Illinois. She beat controversial politician congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois)

Tammy Duckworth beats incumbent Republican congressman Joe Walsh in a hotly contest race. Her victory comes after many years of delay from the obstructionist Republicans. The president wanted to appoint her as a member of  The perennial candidate for higher office achieved her goal of being a voice of the disabled veterans. Duckworth is the first Asian American elected in the state of Illinois. She served in the Iraq War in 2003 and was severely injured in an attack. Duckworth lost her right leg near the hip and her left leg below the knee from injuries sustained on November 12, 2004, when the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter she was co-piloting was hit by a rocket propelled grenade fired by Iraqi insurgents. She is the first female double amputee from the Iraq war. The explosion "almost completely destroyed her right arm, breaking it in three places and tearing tissue from the back side of it." Duckworth received a Purple Heart on December 3 and was promoted to Major on December 21 at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where she was presented with an Air Medal and Army Commendation Medal.

The Passion Of Joe Biden!

A then young man who became a Vice President. From the state of Delaware a senator becomes Barack Obama's running mate and now the second man to the presidency.

The passion of Joesph Robinette Biden. The average "Joe" as most describe him. The president's right hand man makes a spiritual speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Biden was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania and lived there for ten years before moving to Delaware. He became an attorney in 1969, and was elected to a county council in 1970. Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972 and became the sixth-youngest senator in U.S. history. He was re-elected to the Senate six times, was the fourth most senior senator at the time of his resignation, and is the 15th-longest serving Senator in history. Biden was a long-time member and former chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.

His strong advocacy helped bring about U.S. military assistance and intervention during the Bosnian War. He opposed the Gulf War in 1991. He voted in favor of the Iraq War Resolution in 2002, but later proposed resolutions to alter U.S. strategy there.

He has also served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, dealing with issues related to drug policy, crime prevention, and civil liberties, and led creation of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act and Violence Against Women Act. He chaired the Judiciary Committee during the contentious U.S. Supreme Court nominations of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas.

Biden unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 and 2008, both times dropping out early in the race.

Barack Obama selected Biden to be the Democratic Party nominee for Vice President in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Biden is the first Roman Catholic and the first Delawarean to become Vice President of the United States. As Vice President, Biden has been heavily involved in Obama's decision-making process and held the oversight role for infrastructure spending from the Obama stimulus package aimed at counteracting the late-2000s recession.

His ability to negotiate with Congressional Republicans played a key role in bringing about the bipartisan deals that resulted in the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 that resolved a taxation deadlock and the Budget Control Act of 2011 that resolved the United States debt ceiling crisis.

Joe Biden has been instrumental in deal making with the stubborn Republican leaders in Congress.

This year, the election took at turn with the vice president's "put y'all back in chains" comment. Just like the president's "you didn't build that" comment, the Republicans seized upon the comments and took it to the campaign.

Tonight Vice President Joe Biden makes a passionate plea for the reelection of Barack Obama for president.

Big Willie Style!

Bill Clinton makes the case for President Barack Obama.

For nearly 50 minutes, former president Bill Clinton lays the ground work for an awesome speech. President Barack Obama biggest ally comes to the defense of Republican attacks.

Many Republicans and even conservative agitator Sean Hannity had tried their best to make the case that Bill and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are angry at the president for the 2008 U.S. Democratic primary elections.

When you look at how much Bill loves to talk, many of the party's faithful were eating it up!

Bill Clinton puts the Democratic (Save Obama) National Convention in the spotlight. The economy is the major focus. President Barack Obama is embattled by the struggling economy.

Hopefully the president can win back his voters.

Others include women's right advocate Sandra Fluke and U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren.

Michelle Obama Wowed The Crowd!

President Obama watches the first lady's speech with daughters.

The amazing speech from First Lady Michelle Obama. The media is loving every bit of her Democratic Convention Speech.

Even those asshats over at the opposition network, Fox News is even giving her slight praise.

Ann Romney couldn't wow a crowd. Her speech at the Republican National Convention was unmemorable.

With that said, we get the reaction from the White House where her husband President Barack Obama, his daughters Malia and Sasha were watching.

Barack Obama is an embattled president. His legacy was marred with obstruction by the Republicans and their allies in the conservative movement. The economy is improving but it's struggling because of the uncertainty of the global woes overseas. The U.S. Congress is stalled with continuous gridlock by legislators who refuse to concede when it comes to the president's request to raise taxes on millionaires. These Republican legislators supports the creed of the National Rifle Association, Grover Norquist, Club for Growth, American Crossroads, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.

Media loved First Lady Michelle Obama's national convention speech.

Now as the Democratic National Convention enters its second day, people are amazed by San Antonio mayor Julián Castro and Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick. The speakers go after Republican nominee Mitt Romney as usual and demand the American voters place the blame solely on the Republican Party.

The Republicans obstruction is unprecedented. They made their case to deny the president a second term.

Their candidate will roll back progress. The Democratic speakers are demanding their supporters to help Barack Obama win the presidency.

The second day brings Vice President Joe Biden, former president Bill Clinton, women's rights advocate Sandra Fluke and special guests. Sandra Fluke was attacked by Rush Limbaugh earlier this year after she appeared at a congressional testimony in which she was pleading to Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) about birth control of a friend. Limbaugh lambasted her and called her a slut and wanted to see a porn tape with her in it. That caused him to lose over a hundred endorsements.

According to CNN actresses Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Kerry Washington will appear at the Democratic National Convention. Each actress has worked with Republican National Convention speaker, famed actor/director Clinton Eastwood. They're suppose to be the counterpunch to Eastwood's famous and yet controversial speech in which he mocked an empty seat as President Barack Obama.

The Democrats are trying to bring forth diversity. They wanted to bring on former Republicans to dismiss the hype of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. A firefighter from Cincinnati appears onstage to dismiss the Ohio governor and his allied campaign on the SB 5 legislation in which it stripped the public sector unions of bargaining rights. It was repealed by a majority of voters in 2011. Lincoln Chafee, the independent governor of Rhode Island slammed his former party. Then Senator Chafee was a moderate Republican who stood firm against the War in Iraq and wanted to protect the environment. He lost to Sheldon Whitehouse in the 2006 U.S. Midterms. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) reelection chances are higher than his fellow member Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) who decided to skip the Democratic National Convention.

Former U.S. Senate candidate and governor of Florida, Charlie Crist endorsed John McCain in 2008. Now the newly independent politician endorsed Barack Obama for president. He will be the headliner on the third night. He represents the counterpunch to Artur Davis, a former Alabama Democratic congressman and gubernatorial candidate who switched parties to possible return to Congress. Davis endorsed Barack Obama for president in 2008. He now endorses Mitt Romney for president.

Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut) wasn't at the Republican National Convention. I doubt he'll appear at the Democratic National Convention.

Former governor of Ohio Ted Strickland mocked Mitt Romney. He made the comment that if Mitt Romney was Santa Claus, he would fire the reindeer and outsource the elves. His money would vacation in the Cayman Islands in summer and spent Winter in Switzerland on the slopes. Strickland goes after his successor Republican Ohio governor John Kasich for his destructive overreach. This gives Ohio the toss up, yet again putting forth a bellwether for the president and Mitt Romney. Kasich was warned not to mention the improvements in the battleground state of Ohio because it defeats Romney's argument of a disappointing economy. Ohio unemployment is 7.2% lower than the national average.

Ted Kennedy's is a legend among the party faithful. The infamous 1994 U.S. Senate debate in which then a younger Mitt Romney wanted to win this seat. Kennedy mocked Romney on his flip-flopping. Kennedy stated he's pro-choice, Mitt Romney is multiple choice.

The Republicans are responding back to the speeches. They're saying that the president's allies aren't focused on jobs, but blaming either Bush, Romney or whomever to avoid the president's dismal record.

Ted Strickland's speech

First Lady Michelle Obama: Help My Husband Barack Win!

Unpopular is President Barack Obama. The economy has hardline him to the bottom 40s in Gallup.

Popular is his wife, the First Lady of The United States Michelle LaVaughn Obama.

Before I got the opportunity to listen to First Lady Obama speak, I've heard Sean Hannity rehash his old attack. He still complains that the first lady isn't patriotic as he is. The conservative agitator loops her speech in which she spoken "For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country! Because hope is coming back!"

Hannity is a total moron. I would rather not go any further with a narcissistic moron such as Sean Hannity.

She speaks at the Democratic Save Obama National Convention in order to make the case for the president's reelection.

The president need his biggest ally to help him win. In a time where Democrats are dispirited by the economic woes of the United States, Barack Obama is tied with perennial candidate Mitt Romney in a toss up race for the presidency.

The president is working hard to inspire the young and minority voters to turn out in droves once again.

With unemployment hovering around over 8%, it's going to be a lot of explaining for Barack Obama.

The Democratic National Convention begins on two sour notes. The national debt tops $16 trillion. This will be the driving force for Republicans to complain about government spending. The next issue is the jobs report. The anticipated jobs report could make or break the president. The president accepts his nomination on Thursday.

From the looks of this speech, First Lady Obama rocked.

Does Julián Castro Ring A Bell?

 Julián Castro is the mayor of San Antonio, Texas. He speaks at the Democratic National Convention. Potential 2016 presidential buzz is beginning again.

San Antonio, Texas is the seventh largest city in the United States. It's growing at a faster pace than its predecessor San Jose, California. The leadership of the Democratic mayor has people thinking that he's ringing the bell for the next potential presidential candidate in the 2016 U.S. Elections.

Making the case for embattled President Barack Obama, Castro goes to the floor of the (Save Obama) Democratic National Convention.

Castro is married to his wife Erica and has a baby daughter.

Castro's keynote speech goes after the perennial candidate now Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. He makes light of the infamous Romney Ohio Dominion University speech in which the nominee spoke of how to create a business. He told a sleepy audience of voters that in order to start a business, borrow from your parents.

He made the case against vice presidential nominee (Congressman) Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) infamous austerity bill.

On his official website, the mayor describes himself as a 37-year-old San Antonio native, Mayor Julián Castro is the youngest mayor of a Top 50 American city. First elected on May 9, 2009, Mayor Castro handily won re-election in 2011 with nearly 82 percent of the vote.

Speaking with emotion, Julián Castro delivers his promise to help reelect Barack Obama for president.

 Throughout his tenure, Mayor Castro has focused on attracting well-paying jobs in 21st century industries, positioning San Antonio to be a leader in the New Energy Economy and raising educational attainment across the spectrum. In 2011, the Milken Institute ranked San Antonio the nation’s top-performing local economy.

Mayor Castro created SA2020, a community-wide visioning effort turned nonprofit that has galvanized thousands of San Antonians around a simple, but powerful vision for San Antonio - to create a brainpower community that is the liveliest city in the nation.

Under his leadership, the city in 2010 opened Café College, a one-stop center offering high-quality guidance on college admissions, financial aid and standardized test preparation to any student in the San Antonio area. In its first year, Café College served more than 5,000 area students, spurring an expansion of the facility in 2011.

Mayor Castro also has brought a sense of urgency to revitalizing the city’s urban core, including the underserved East Side of San Antonio, by initiating the “Decade of Downtown” and approving a series of incentives to encourage inner city investment. These efforts have spurred plans for the construction of more than 2,400 housing units in the center city by 2014.

In March 2010, Mayor Castro joined executives from Google and Twitter in being named to the World Economic Forum’s list of Young Global Leaders.  Later that year, Time magazine placed him on its “40 under 40” list of rising stars in American politics. Mayor Castro also serves on the board of directors of the National League of Cities, is a member of the Inter-American Dialogue and is an Aspen-Rodel Fellow. In addition to his community service, Mayor Castro has taught courses at The University of Texas at San Antonio, Trinity University, and St. Mary’s University.

Mayor Castro earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford University with honors and distinction in 1996 and a juris doctorate from Harvard Law School in 2000. In 2001, at the age of 26, Castro became the youngest elected city councilman at that time in San Antonio history.


Mayor Castro’s twin brother,  Joaquin, serves in the Texas House of Representatives.

The Politico outlines five things in Castro's speech. The transcripts that caught the media's attention:
 

1. “First they called it ‘trickle-down.’ Then ‘supply-side.’ Now it’s ‘Romney-Ryan.’ Or is it ‘Ryan-Romney?’”

2. “Now, in Texas, we believe in the rugged individual. Texas may be the one place where people actually still have bootstraps, and we expect folks to pull themselves up by them. But we also recognize there are some things we can’t do alone.”

3. “I don’t think Gov. Romney meant any harm. I think he’s a good guy. He just has no idea how good he’s had it.”

4. “When it comes to expanding access to good health care, Mitt Romney … actually Mitt Romney said, ‘Yes,’ and now he says, ‘No.’”

5. “The American dream is not a sprint, or even a marathon, but a relay. Our families don’t always cross the finish line in the span of one generation. But each generation passes on to the next the fruits of their labor. My grandmother never owned a house. She cleaned other people’s houses so she could afford to rent her own. But she saw her daughter become the first in her family to graduate from college. And my mother fought hard for civil rights so that instead of a mop, I could hold this microphone.”

Deval Patrick: Grow A Backbone Dems!

Governor Deval Patrick (D-Massachusetts) brings forth a rousing yet partisan speech at the Democratic National Convention. The governor succeeded Mitt Romney in 2007. Romney is a perennial candidate for higher office. He achieved his goal as the Republican nominee for the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election.

 
The Democratic National Convention is on. I am watching it. First Lady Michelle Obama and Julián Castro will be the headliners of this "Save Obama" National Convention.

The speakers included the president's sister Maya Soetoro-Ng, his brother in law University of Oregon Basketball head coach Craig Robinson, San Antonio mayor (possible 2016 U.S. presidential candidate) Julián Castro, Newark mayor Cory Booker, Tammy Duckworth, candidate for U.S. Congress, Lily Ledbetter, Maryland governor Martin O'Malley, Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Subileus, Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel, Ted Strickland, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), Congressman Jared Polis (D-Colorado), and Democratic National Leader (Congresswoman) Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida). 

One thing that got me inspired was the speech from the Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick.

He spoke clearly of the need to bring forth an united front to reelected President Barack Obama.

He spoke of the dispirited supporters and their frustrations with progress. He told a tale of the Republican's strategy to bully the president right out of office. The governor is the predecessor of former governor and perennial candidate for president Mitt Romney.

Besides the heartwarming tribute to the late Massachusetts senator Ted Kennedy, we heard from Tammy Duckworth a disable war veteran running for congress against Illinois Republican Congressman Joe Walsh.  We heard the inspiring speeches from Martin O'Malley the governor of Maryland. A former managing executive Lily Ledbetter who was underpaid after 20 years of service to her company. Her legacy is an imprint on President Barack Obama. The first legislation signed into law as the Equal Gender Pay Act (known as the Lily Ledbetter Act).

When Governor Patrick came to the stage, it's turned out to be one of the most interesting things of the night.

Patrick was reelected in a nail-bitter election after the resurgence of Republicans. The Tea Party elected Scott Brown, a state legislator to the United States Senate ending the Kennedy legacy with an overwhelming victory over the Democratic opponent.

Patrick the father of two grew up with a single mother in the city of Chicago. He managed to win a scholarship to Milton Academy in Massachusetts in the eighth grade. He went on to attend Harvard College and Harvard Law School, where he was President of the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. After graduating he practiced law with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. He later joined a Boston law firm, where he was named a partner at the age of 34. In 1994, President Bill Clinton appointed Patrick Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, where he worked on issues including racial profiling and police misconduct. Patrick returned to Boston in 1997 to work in private law. In the following years he worked as general counsel for Texaco in New York City and Coca-Cola in Atlanta, which were both facing large racial discrimination settlements.

Somehow I gotten the the spirit back in me when the governor told the American voters to get a backbone and look at the risk if you elect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. The price the American public could pay. They could undermine the progress that President Barack Obama's successes.

He told his party faithful that under the leadership of then governor Romney, the state of Massachusetts is ranked 47th in the United States job growth. Patrick managed to keep the state unemployment at level. His state's unemployment is 6.1%, below the national average of 8.3%.

Patrick gave one of the most rousing speeches so far. The media is loving it. But is the American voter buying it?

Patrick's partisan speech may give the Democrats a little spirit but could this impact help reelect President Barack Obama?
