LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas congressman Tim Griffin is rallying fellow Republicans and accusing President Barack Obama of having a "bankrupt vision and a failed plan."

Griffin addressed delegates at the party's national convention on Tuesday in Tampa, Fla., and urged fellow Republicans to support Mitt Romney's White House bid.

Griffin said the president has "no earthly idea" how to solve the country's problems such as unemployment and debt. He praised Romney and running mate Paul Ryan's leadership.

Griffin is a freshman congressman representing the 2nd district in central Arkansas. He faces a challenge from Little Rock lawyer Herb Rule, a Democrat, in the November election.

Griffin chairs Romney's Arkansas campaign. He was one of the first top Republicans in the state to back the former Massachusetts governor's presidential bid.

Yankee, do you know what CHANGE stood for when Obama ran? It stood for "Come Help a Nincompoop Get Elected". And it worked, his dumbass got elected. But its time to change the change. This idiot has to go.

The key thing is that Osama has NO vision for our country other than turning it into a Socialist state. He is VERY poor at diplomacy and that is why he has done VERY little since in office. Jan. 2013 - THE END OF AN ERROR

charlie; This is true of most politicians; regardless of party affiliation. Look at our current president - he spoke of "change" when running almost 4 years ago. And we did get change; higher unemployment, more people lost their homes and jobs, he got rid of the welfare to work program, he is breaking Federal Law by not allowing ICE to arrest illegal's; yeah, we got plenty of change allright.

It's time for BHO to go... He has spent more in 3-1/2 years than Bush did in 8 years... BO has been a total failure and he will be gone soon...

Tim didn't tell us anything we already knew! And what "plan" does Obama have other than more welfare, higher unemployment, people losing their homes, and his "socialist agenda"? We don't need no stinking commies; so take your socialism elsewhere Mr. President. Nigeria or Indonesia perhaps!
