As the welcome party for the Republican National Convention got going this evening at Tropicana Field, Steve Lucas, a delegate from Orinda, stood in right field wearing an “Obama sucks” button, which seemed to sum up the feeling of many partygoers here.
Lucas, a partner at the powerhouse Sacramento law firm Nielsen, Merksamer, Parrinellow, Gross & Leoni LLP, was unusually precise in his explanation.
“Why Obama sucks?” he said. “He sucks on the economy, because he hasn’t created a new job in 3 ½ years. He sucks on foreign policy because he leads from behind, and he’s an amateur.”
