I just heard Shirley JacksonhyphenLee tell Neil Cavuto how much `progress'  
  this administration made over the last four years!  
    
    
  If you call over 8 percent unemployment (the actual figure is far higher for  
  individual states; Florida: 17%, California: 20.3%, Nevada: 22.1%....and on  
  and on) rate, and with only three states having unemployment rates `under'  
  10%, a lot of `progress' for this president, well......  
    
    
  But what the democrats have to do is convince a mojority of voters that this  
  president deserves another term:

  CHARLOTTE -- The official start of the Democratic National Convention isn't  
  until tomorrow, but the Republicans are starting to bait President Obama  
  anyway.  
    
    
  By H. Darr Beiser, USA TODAY  
    
    
  The Republican National Committee debuted a new Web video and launched  
  a website, with the theme of "Obama Isn't Working." The website will be  
  updated frequently while Democrats gather here this week to formally  
  nominate  
  Obama to a second White House term.  
    
    
  "When Americans look back on the past four years under President Obama and  
  ask  
  themselves whether or not they are better off, unfortunately they will  
  answer  
  'no,' " RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement.  
    
    
  "President Obama has not lived up to his promises he made to turn our  
  economy  
  around and cut the deficit in half in his first term," Priebus continued.  
    
  "There are more people out of work today than when Barack Obama took office  
  and 23 million Americans who are out of work or looking for more work."  
    
    
  Expect the GOP to return to the "Are you better off than you were four years  
  ago?" message repeatedly this week. Later today, the RNC will hold its first  
  of several news conferences, as part of its counter-messaging efforts.  
  Priebus  
  and Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, a frequent surrogate for Mitt Romney, will  
  speak to reporters.
