The Polling Report [8.23.12]

By Delaware Dem August 23, 2012

Just when things were looking good for Romney, or at least trending in his favor..... President Obama has retaken leads in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Florida. And if you can believe it (I don't), made Georgia a competitive three point race. Meanwhile, the President maintains slim leads in Nevada, and is running up the score in New Mexico and Vermont.

Shar Valenzuela to headline “WE BUILT THIS!” night at RNC with… “I built it with government money!”

By jason330 August 23, 2012

It is easy to see why Shar has been asked to HEADLINE "We Built This" night in Tampa. She is a woman, latino, and a successful small business person who built her business all alone without any government support whatsoever. A THREE-fer!!! (If only she was wheelchair bound, and/or jewish!!)

By jason330 August 23, 2012

Late Night Video — Stop Motion Excel Animation

By cassandra_m August 22, 2012

You read that right -- stop motion animation using an Excel spreadsheet. This is very cool, but how much work did this guy blow off to get this done? And am I the only person on the planet who had no idea you could do animation with Excel?

"I have a job to do as president, and that does not involve convincing folks that my faith in Jesus is legitimate and real.

What I can do is just keep on following Him, and serve others—trying to make folks’ lives a little better using this humbling position that I hold," - Barack Obama.
