Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, who headed the Office of Management and Budget during the Bush administration, got his turn at the convention Wednesday night.
Here's a quick reminder of how he did: According to the CBO, when Obama took office in January, 2009, he was left with a $1.2 trillion deficit and $3.1 trillion of debt over the next decade.
Sounds like just the guy to be listening to about the deficit.

Considering all of these GOP speakers, the only ones without over priced track records are women and they are there only because the Romney Campaign is desperate to attract the female voters.
The GOP is in the positioin of possibly staging the most uninspiring Republican convention in memory. Norhing ... has been exceptional or unique or original. The crowds seem out of central casting. This actually is more infomercial-ish than any convention previous, and truly the crowd seems windup. Some in the crowd seem strained and stressed out from having to carry on the rah rah pretense. It really is true that GOP'ers are beginning to resemble Pleasant villers. It's quite strange. The GOP is beginning to resemble their new animated plastilene mannequin leader, but that's just my own weird opinion. The GOP is truly perhaps as never previous ...plastic and animatronic, just like Mitt. The GOP is plastic. The GOP is primarily false pretense and lies. Almost everything said on the stage is convoluted pretense. It's largely unreal. Perhaps it's surreal. Romney/Ryan literally seem advanced robotic Republican politicians, perfectly programmable and infinitely devious. Politicians of a feather run together. Romney/Ryan, what a pair. They're fake, and they're devious, and they don't care. They're Republicans. Gobama!
