The Concern: The Democratic Nationwide Conference being held in Chicago this week.
Former President Barack Obama hasn’t misplaced a step since he left the Oval Workplace in January 2017 (“ ‘Brutus’ Bam praises Biden,” Aug. 21).
His speeches are as long-winded, condescending and tedious now as again then.
He likes to bloviate, preen and preach as if he’s providing America’s sinners salvation of some kind.

Are we actually shocked that former First Girl Michelle Obama peddled one other rant on the DNC, basically claiming that if anybody opposed Harris then they is perhaps influenced by misogyny and racism?
In spite of everything, she was a part of the divisiveness below the eight years her husband was president.
She as soon as mentioned, “Once they go low, we go excessive,” but she wasted no time getting soiled on Tuesday night time in Chicago.

It was fantastic to see Barack and Michelle Obama ship speeches on the Democratic Nationwide Conference.
If ever there was an argument for permitting a 3rd time period for a president, it could be Obama.
He and his spouse are excellent examples of management.

Kudos to The Submit for placing into phrases what American voters already know (“Dems’ Solely, Indignant Message,” Editorial, Aug. 21).
The Democratic Nationwide Conference in Chicago is certainly an try to faux out all of us.
Nothing of consequence goes to occur on the conference. No delegates are going to actually be “voting.”
The ticket has been ordained by the social gathering bigwigs because the second that they completed off President Biden with that coup. It’s nothing however faux information.
Vice President Kamala Harris is a dedicated socialist and Gov. Tim Walz is even additional to her left. Neither candidate represents mainstream America.
Their complete technique is to maintain former President Donald Trump from getting the keys again to the White Home. That’s it, pure and easy.

The DNC appears to be all about former President Trump and the “horrible” Republicans.
I believed that the rationale for the conference was to pump up the candidate who will likely be working for president of the USA?
As a substitute, each speaker to date has centered on Trump’s insurance policies and agenda. The Dems haven’t any agenda apart from demonizing Trump.

It appears to me that the Dems can’t inform us why we should always vote for them with out bashing former President Donald Trump.
However what does the social gathering even have to supply voters?

It’s no shock the Democrats selected Chicago, which successfully showcased their social gathering’s failures in huge American cities (“Ailing wind blowing via Chicago,” Miranda Devine, Submit Opinion, Aug. 19).
Chicago had 617 murders final yr, a soft-on-crime district legal professional who appears to not care concerning the metropolis’s rampant robberies and a mayor who welcomes migrants in his sanctuary metropolis however doesn’t know the best way to take care of them.

Concerning Devine’s article on Chicago, I feel somebody as soon as mentioned: Voters get the federal government they deserve. Let’s hope that voters nationally are a bit extra considerate.
