SOUND OFF: President Obama and the Democratic Convention
What did you think of Obama's speech and the convention? Will you vote for him in November?
President Barack Obama capped off the Democratic National Convention with a speech that highlighted his foreign policy wins, health care reform and immigration reform on Thursday night.
Over three nights, Democratic leaders took aim at Republican nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and his running mate Congressman Paul Ryan. A number of Massachusetts Democrats spoke at the convention, including Gov. Deval Patrick, Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren and Senator John Kerry.
After last week's Republican National Conventon, we asked readers to tell us what they thought of the convention and Romney.
Now, we want to hear from you about the Democratic convention. What did you think of the president's speech?
Let us know in the comment section below.

I think he is leading us off a fiscal cliff and for the sake of our children, NO I will not be voting for him!

Anyone that watched both conventions saw the JV go first followed by the varsity.

I find it hard to believe how the Republicans take no blame for the current economy. First we have 2 unfunded wars that cost us billions, then major banks and companies we had to bail out and now at the price of our children and a longer drawn out recession we block every single bill put forward by the current sitting president just because its "us against them" B.S. politics....The politics of today are sending us all into the toilet...

Both conventions were high on rhetoric. Both sides stated goals, but neither provided one iota of a plan on how to reach those goals. Where's the beef?? Hopefully the debates will give us some hint of a road map.

The fiscal cliff to watch is the one you will see when further tax cuts are in place for the wealthiest few, and no cuts are made to either the entitlement programs or defense spending, which is the Romney platform...

We do need to think about what is best for all Americans regardless of affiliation. How anyone can think we're headed in the right direction I just don't see. How smart is it to repeat a failed recipe and expect a different outcome. We must have faith that change can only be for the better, but we all have to be willing to give it a try and allow it. We did that four years ago, why not now?

I think a test of 30 yrs vs 4 years is not a fair test... 4 more in the same administration would give us a better idea of what is going on... after all, things are indeed much better now than they were 4 yrs ago... by a long shot...
