Olens Speaks to the GOP

Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens had to share his one shining moment on the Republican National Convention stage Wednesday night. 

Along with his Florida counterpart, Pam Bondi, Olens criticized the Obama Administration's health care law as an example of government overreach, a prominent convention theme in Tampa and in the GOP campaign. 

They were among the Republican state attorneys general who filed suit against "Obamacare," which was in a 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court. 

Olens, an East Cobb resident and former Cobb Commission Chairman, has been of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who gives his acceptance speech tonight. 

Some of the reaction to the speech:

Jim Galloway, AJC: 

"All in all, the seven-minute duet was a modest national debut for Olens. But if you think of a convention as a structured argument, two attorneys general were entirely necessary to Mitt Romney’s prosecution. They served as witnesses to what Republicans see as Obama’s overreaching on health care, illegal immigration, environmental regulation and more."

A comment on the YouTube link made reference to former Saturday Night Live actors: "Victoria Jackson and Jon Lovitz should sue."
