Congratulations, America.

Asked by Parade magazine, “What do you hope to accomplish in your second term?” First Lady Michelle Obama said she wants to “impact the nature of food in grocery stores” …

Now:
“The Democratic National Convention takes its mission to be green so seriously that reporters, delegates and others are being scolded for dumping their garbage in the wrong recycle bins.”

North Carolina group working hard to eliminate Immortals in their state.

Putting the fun back in politics.

The Republican Party has never done anything like this before, and is showing an ability to adapt both to the new media era and to the Alinskyite “community organizing” tactics of Obama himself. Amidst the fun and fanfare, the counter-conventioneers will push a pointed message, asking Democrats and Americans in general whether they feel they are better off than they were four years ago–a key question in re-election campaigns.

Update: Republicans hand out Legos at DNC

Updated: #Emptychairday is trending in the US. Apparently people are clinging to their guns, Bibles and their digital cameras.

Labour Day is #emptychairday on Twitter.

The 2012 electoral cycle in America is going to be memorable for several reasons. One of them will be the divergent views of Black Americans. Let’s contrast two of them:
Mia Love
– Former councilwoman and mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah
– Republican congressional candidate from Utah
– Speaker at the 2012 RNC
– Here’s her talking with Mark Levin
Nomalanga Mhlauli-Moses
– Businesswoman and professional development coach in Boston, Massachusetts
– Founder of the Successful Black Woman website
– Reigning Mrs. Botswana and 3rd place winner at Mrs. Earth Pageant
Here’s what Ms. Mhlauli-Moses recently had to say about Paul Ryan. It’s well worth a read and provides a startling contrast with the views of Mia Love.

“Yes or no? Are Americans better off today then they were four years ago?”
Shorter Plouffe: “Hemmm, Haw, Urggle.”

Asked about actor/director Clint Eastwood’s attention-grabbing Republican convention speech, Plouffe praised the actor/director’s career work and added, ”the Romney campaign would probably not, three days after their convention, [prefer] still having questions being raised about Clint Eastwood.”

I’m thinking that the Republicans are dealing with the Eastwood’s performance quite well and don’t mind at all the empty chair becoming a meme. In fact, I think they enjoy those questions quite a bit more than the Democrats do about questions regarding the prosperity of Americans.

“Behind every small business, there’s a story worth knowing. All the corner shops in our towns and cities, the restaurants, cleaners, gyms, hair salons, hardware stores – these didn’t come out of nowhere. A lot of heart goes into each one. And if small businesspeople say they made it on their own, all they are saying is that nobody else worked seven days a week in their place. Nobody showed up in their place to open the door at five in the morning. Nobody did their thinking, and worrying, and sweating for them. After all that work, and in a bad economy, it sure doesn’t help to hear from their president that government gets the credit. What they deserve to hear is the truth: Yes, you did build that.”

In case you missed it.

Luckily for her, she’s white.

Here’s the latest campaign ad for Barack Obama:

Wow, shocking, incredible! Except it’s not true. Mark Steyn weighs in.
If we’re lucky, Anderson Cooper will ask DWS about this phoney propaganda piece next week.

If that’s the case, it’s going to be fun to watch.
