This is supposed to represent Obama’s “Absentee In Chief” status, and the fact that he hasn’t done enough to reach out to the other party, such as have WEEKLY jobs conferences with the intent of bringing Republicans and Democrats in Congress together to solve the economic crisis.
Instead, as you know, he is out campaigning to try and hold onto his job as President against challenger Romney Ryan 2012.
Whatever you think of the concept for Empty Chair Day though, you gotta admit it’s a pretty hilarious and awesome stunt. Clint had no idea what he was getting into, eh.
Mitt Romney giving his RNC2012 Republican Nominee Acceptance Speech to an epic crowd.
Mitt Romney’s RNC2012 speech (full video below) is the most important speech he has ever given. “President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans, I promise to help you and your family.”
As Romney rose up to officially accept the Republican nomination for President in 2012 alongside Paul Ryan as Vice President, he had to deliver a powerful speech that would resonate on multiple levels.
Memorable lines, memorable policy positions, details on issues, sweeping rhetoric and hopeful words for where he will lead the nation if elected to the highest office in the land.
This is the speech that people will remember, as it starts the kickoff of the fall season as each Candidate from both parties head into the final two months of their year/years-long campaign and enter the season of debates… which will be the next measure by which Mitt Romney is judged.
Here are some memorable quotes from his speech, probably the most memorable of which is in the headline!
* “This president can tell us it was someone else’s fault. This president can tell us that the next four years he’ll get it right. But this president cannot tell us that you are better off today than when he took office.”
* “President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet,” Romney said. “My promise is to help you and your family.”
* “Many Americans have given up on this president, but they haven’t ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves, not on each other. And not on America.”
* “Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, ‘I’m an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better! My country deserves better!”
* “Tonight I’d ask a simple question: If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn’t you feel that way now that he’s President Obama?” Romney said. “You know there’s something wrong with the kind of job he’s done as president when the best feeling you had, was the day you voted for him.”
* “I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed,” he said. “But his promises gave way to disappointment and division.”
Bob McDonnell is one of the most important pieces of Romney’s election strategy to win Virginia.
All of the other RNC2012 Republican National Convention speeches from the likes of Janine Turner, Bob McDonnell, Kelly Ayotte, Sher Valenzuela, Connie Mack, Mary Fallin, Pam Bondi, Cathy McMorris Rodgers and others will be posted here.
There were many, many, many speakers at the RNC2012, and I didn’t cover all of them in individual articles.
So here are the rest of them, although I still may not cover every single one.
Bob McDonnell – Governor of Virginia
Virginia is one of the most important states that Romney needs to pick up and hold, taking away from Obama’s win of the state last election. Republican Governor Bob McDonnell will go a long way in helping him do just that.
…. Speaker of the House John Boehner (pronounced “Bay-ner”) intends to increase the Republican majority in the House AND Senate in the November 2012 election.
John Boehner’s RNC 2012 Speech (full video below) rallies Conservatives to elect Mitt Romney for President in order for the government to get its business done.
Unlike the Harry Reid Democrat-controlled Senate, the Republican-controlled John Boehner House has continued to work and pass bill after bill, including four budgets (whereas the Senate hasn’t passed a single budget since Obama was elected) and Boehner continues to urge Republicans to work hard to maintain and expand their Republican majority in the House of Representatives this November by continuing to elect strong Conservatives.
Not only that, but the Speaker of the House talks about how Republicans are on offense this year and looking forward to winning more State Seats and a Republican majority in the Senate to replace Harry Reid and, along with a Republican President in Mitt Romney, start the work of returning the United States back to fiscal responsibility that was lost under the Bush and Obama Administrations.
John Kasich is another strong reform-minded Republican Governor, this time of Ohio.
John Kasich’s RNC2012 speech (full video below) comes from another reform-minded governor who is much like Scott Walker in how he is challenging the powers that be in the great state of Ohio.
Kasich is well known as a guest-host who used to fill in for Bill O’Reilly’s “The O’Reilly Factor”, where he’d serve as host when Bill was off.
Now he is a very important part of the Republicans repertoire and their plan of winning states like Ohio and Wisconsin which are crucial for Mitt Romney’s Presidential victory in November.
… Scott Walker has become a bonafide rockstar within the Republican Party after defeating the unions in Wisconsin and winning a recall election.
Scott Walker’s RNC2012 speech (full video below) details the power the Republican Party has when they take on the Unions, special interests, and liberal power brokers within a state.
Governor Walker has become a rockstar within the Republican Party due to the fact that he directly faced-up to the powerful Unions within his state, challenged them, they got enough votes to force a recall election to resend the Governor, and he won the recall election by a convincing margin.
Proving once and for all that the unions and power brokers within a state do not have a vulcan deathgrip on elections, the voice of the people can still carry the day. Walker urges us to vote Romney Ryan 2012 and do to the nation what he did in Wisconsin!
Another great hispanic within the Republican Party is Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval.
Brian Sandoval’s RNC2012 speech (full video below) discusses the background of another Hispanic in high places within the Republican Party, this time as the Governor of the great state of Nevada.
Sandoval comes from humble means, and was able to become not only a judge, but also a Governor even though he is of Hispanic decent. He talks about the greatness of America and of hard work ethic, tells his story, and backs Romney Ryan 2012!
Bob White has known Mitt Romney since the 1980s and worked alongside him for decades.
Bob White’s RNC2012 speech (full video below) details Mitt Romney’s capability and character from a very close, longtime friend and confident.
Bob White is the chairman of Mitt Romney’s political campaign team, but has known him since the 1980’s. He has put his faith in Mitt Romney for decades, and talks about his time spent with Mitt Romney at Bain Capital, during the Salt Lake Olympics and as Governor of Mass.
This guy makes a very powerful case for why Mitt Romney will make a great President and speaks directly to his integrity from someone who knows him best.
… This liberal Democrat speaks very highly of Mitt Romney in everything he did while Governor of Massachusetts.
Jane Edmonds RNC2012 speech (full video below) is a touching and scathing rebuke of Democrat and liberal attempts to paint Mitt Romney as someone he is not.
Jane Edmonds is an African American woman, a liberal Democrat, and someone who fully supports Mitt Romney. She speaks very highly of his character and decision making in office, talks about how fair he was, how he considered all ideas, how he worked for others and not himself, and how he put more woman in Senior Positions of the government than in any other state in the nation. Powerful stuff.
