These Democrats are a mess. Here we are in the middle of the Democratic National Convention and they are scrambling around last minute to change their platform to make mention of "God" and to formally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. They, and by "they" I mean our current president and the team of space cadets he has running his campaign and advising him, have opted last minute to all of a sudden change their stance on these two extremely important topics.

Ridiculous.

If this president can't even decide until the middle of his Democratic National Convention whether to allow the utterance of "God" or to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel then why should anyone believe he has the capacity to mean anything he says or the ability to confidently make decisions?

Chaos ensued as the delegates found out these two issues were being put up to a vote for inclusion on the platform. This is what we are up against. 

As I type these words I am anxiously waiting to hear what Bill Clinton has to say tonight. By the time many of you read this he will have spoken and more than likely tried his best to help Barack Obama's chance for reelection. However, there is always the chance that he might get up there and say how he really feels about Barack Obama. As you watch him speak, just remember he is being forced to sing praise for the man who defeated his wife for the presidency. I doubt anything negative will come from his speech, but what if? It's amusing to consider.

Oh, and Barack Obama's "rain or shine" venue for his acceptance speech in a stadium that seats 74,000 people, which he said would be filled...it's been moved to a 20,000 seat venue (the same place everyone else is speaking). And I have a feeling there are not 74,000 disappointed individuals who made the trip to hear him speak.
