An interesting take on the Bamster; comparing him to our worst PM.
Articles: Obama, the Pierre Trudeau of America

- Walter ... Yes, the similarites between Peter Waterhole, The Godfather of Canadian Debt and Barry Obama, The Management Trainee as President are frightening indeed, particularly for the Americans as a harbinger of sufferings to come.

- And as dreadful and destructive and demogogic as Trudeau was, he was certainly better qualified to be prime minister than Obama was and is to be president. Trudeau had served about three years under Pearson as a successful minister of justice (unlike Obama who had no executive experience whatsoever) and had a strong reputation as a writer, union supporter and academic while Obama was a drifter and a dilettant as a part time community organizer, a part time law lecturer and a part time state senator whose only claim to fame was a couple of books about his favourite subject (himself) that have now been found to be as much fiction as autobiography.

- So the truly scary thing is that Obama, if Americans are monumentally stupid enough to give him a second term, is poised to screw up his country even more than Trudeau did his.

I read the article; and there is truth to the observation that "people can choose the history they want." However, more importantly, I think it underscores the importance of that choice. Indeed, most important things in life depend on making the right choices. To do so requires sound judgment, for which neither intellect nor study may suffice; and, whenever in doubt, one need have resort to good advice. It is even the more so in politics, for it is not always a question of "right" or "left," but in choosing rightly and wisely. Now, as the article reminds us, the time has come again for us to choose who will lead our nation. The choice is critical, for how we choose shall determine our course, and affect not just ourselves but future generations as well.

Jay Carney sneers at reporter’s request for Obama’s college records

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney derided a reporter today for asking whether President Obama would release his college records in the campaign, to serve as an example of transparency.
"This is the Donald Trump question," said Carney referring the reporter to the Obama campaign.

"This is preposterous," Carney continued. "This is from the guy who insisted that the president wasn't born in the United States."

Carney reiterated that Obama was an “open book” and had an "extremely sound" record of transparency. :lol:

Obama Campaign Decides To Back Off Felony Charge Against Romney: “We’re Not The Ones Who Can Answer That”…






I suppose having the facts thrown in their faces by normally sympathetic MSM outlets could change their minds.


QUESTION: Jen, did Stephanie Cutter go too far by suggesting that Mitt Romney is a — might be a felon in the press call yesterday about the SEC filings, and the date of his employment at Bain?
MS. PSAKI (Obama campaign spokeswoman): Well, Amy, there have been many reports suggesting — we don’t know the answers because Mitt Romney hasn’t released not only his tax returns, he hasn’t released documents around this. Today, he could release his minutes from Bain — from the Bain — or they could release the minutes from the Bain meetings and we could learn more.
What was being raised here is something that was raised externally, which is we don’t know. But if he did violate, if he did mislead the SEC, there could be — that could raise questions, there could be legal questions that are raised about that. We’re not the ones who can answer that. If he didn’t, then he was misleading the American people.
So what we don’t know is the answer to that question, and that’s why we’re eager to see more documents from Mitt Romney and his team.

Typo Alert: Obama Team Misspells ‘Israel’ on Campaign Invite






It must especially sting for a president who’s reportedly claimed to know “about Judaism more than any other president.”

Typo Alert: Obama Team Misspells ‘Israel’ on Campaign Invite | TheBlaze.com



Yeah, right. No doubt the President of the US wrote out and addressed every invitation personally. Unfortunately any presidential staff can be blessed with someone who is spelling challenged.



On another note let's put to rest the Republican BS about Obama being a tax and spend liberal. In fact it turns out he has spent less than any president since Eisenhower.

Who Is The Smallest Government Spender Since Eisenhower? Would You Believe It's Barack Obama? - Forbes

From the article:
It’s enough to make even the most ardent Obama cynic scratch his head in confusion.
Amidst all the cries of Barack Obama being the most prolific big government spender the nation has ever suffered, Marketwatch is reporting that our president has actually been tighter with a buck than any United States president since Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Who knew?


Check out the chart –



So, how have the Republicans managed to persuade Americans to buy into the whole “Obama as big spender” narrative?
It might have something to do with the first year of the Obama presidency where the federal budget increased a whopping 17.9% —going from $2.98 trillion to $3.52 trillion. I’ll bet you think that this is the result of the Obama sponsored stimulus plan that is so frequently vilified by the conservatives…but you would be wrong.
The first year of any incoming president term is saddled—for better or for worse—with the budget set by the president whom immediately precedes the new occupant of the White House. Indeed, not only was the 2009 budget the property of George W. Bush—and passed by the 2008 Congress—it was in effect four months before Barack Obama took the oath of office.
Accordingly, the first budget that can be blamed on our current president began in 2010 with the budgets running through and including including fiscal year 2013 standing as charges on the Obama account, even if a President Willard M. Romney takes over the office on January 20, 2013.
So, how do the actual Obama annual budgets look?
Courtesy of Marketwatch-

  • In fiscal 2010 (the first Obama budget) spending fell 1.8% to $3.46 trillion.
  • In fiscal 2011, spending rose 4.3% to $3.60 trillion.
  • In fiscal 2012, spending is set to rise 0.7% to $3.63 trillion, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s estimate of the budget that was agreed to last August.
  • Finally in fiscal 2013 — the final budget of Obama’s term — spending is scheduled to fall 1.3% to $3.58 trillion. Read the CBO’s latest budget outlook.
No doubt, many will wish to give the credit to the efforts of the GOP controlled House of Representatives. That’s fine if that’s what works for you. However, you don’t get to have it both ways. Credit whom you will, but if you are truly interested in a fair analysis of the Obama years to date—at least when it comes to spending—you’re going to have to acknowledge that under the Obama watch, even President Reagan would have to give our current president a thumbs up when it comes to his record for stretching a dollar.

And the source? Forbes Magazine; hardly a publication friendly to the US left.

Then why did you bother with such a trivial post? If you don't like Obama try to find something significant instead of the usual miniscule rubbish.

Are you new to the internet or just this 3 year-old tongue-in-cheek thread?

What we have here you see, is about 3,000 trivial posts about Barry. If ya don't wanna read 'em or they make ya mad, don't come in.



Ya folla?

Locutus,

Mitt Romney ... the SEC filings, and the date of his employment at Bain?
Can't say anything about for sure until all the facts are out in the open but there is considerable evidence that Bain received a big hand out from the government:

Romney

"
Mitt Romney touts his business acumen and job-creation record as a key qualification for being the next U.S. president.
What’s clear from a review of the public record during his management of the private-equity firm Bain Capital from 1985 to 1999 is that Romney was fabulously successful in generating high returns for its investors. He did so, in large part, through heavy use of tax-deductible debt, usually to finance outsized dividends for the firm’s partners and investors. When some of the investments went bad, workers and creditors felt most of the pain. Romney privatized the gains and socialized the losses.

What’s less clear is how his skills are relevant to the job of overseeing the U.S. economy, strengthening competitiveness and looking out for the welfare of the general public, especially the middle class.
Thanks to leverage, 10 of roughly 67 major deals by Bain Capital during Romney’s watch produced about 70 percent of the firm’s profits. Four of those 10 deals, as well as others, later wound up in bankruptcy. It’s worth examining some of them to understand Romney’s investment style at Bain Capital."








Ah, isn't corporate welfare, woops, I mean capitalism just grand ?

This idiot is useless without a teleprompter man. :lol:

Corps are considered entities so I guess that they should also be allowed some of the same bennies too.... So, let's see - roughly 50% of the US population doesn't pay fed taxes... What do ya think about exempting approx 50% of the corps in the States from the same - just to be fair 'n all

It's even funnier that you guys see it as a gaffe, as if public speaking isn't his strong suit.
