There’s ample reason to suspect that Barack Obama copped a sneak peak at the August jobs report before delivering his DNC acceptance speech last night, which would go a long way in explaining his wholly lackluster and anemic performance. The magic is gone, and so are the jobs. One word can sum up both Obama’s […]
That’s the former mayor’s take on the Queen City’s DNC experience and the heavy-duty, paramilitary security drop that’s landed on Charlotte.
