Fiery Obama embarks on march to the Dem convention

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama lampooned the just-completed Republican National Convention as better-suited to an era of black-and-white TV and " trickle-down, you're on your own" economics Saturday, and declared that Mitt Romney "did not offer a single new idea" to fix the economy.

"There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but no one actually told you what they were," Obama said in Iowa, chuckling, as he set out on a three-day tour of battleground states in the run-up to his own convention. Later, Obama said, the Republican gathering was so rooted in the past, there should have been a rabbit-ears antenna on the convention hall.

Obama's convention opens Tuesday at the Time Warner Cable arena with evening speeches by first lady Michelle Obama and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the keynote speaker.

The president will be nominated for a new term on Wednesday, when former President Bill Clinton also will speak. Vice President Joe Biden delivers his own acceptance speech the same evening.

1. What about the chair?

It figured prominently in the RNC, I think it should be allowed to have some roll in the DNC. After all, it was a good chair, sitting there silently while being lambasted by a clearly senile Hollywood actor/director. Do you mean to tell me that the chair only gets 12 minutes of fame?

I so wish somebody would make a photoshop of Taxy and the Chair.
