The new talking point is out. In order to deflect from Obama the worsening economy the new talking point is, taadaa, global recession. Yes that's right is now the fault of the 'global recession' that Obama can't get the economy moving. Since blame Bush is not working they will blame the world for all our problems. Look for all the libtards to start talking about the 'global recession' soon.

It IS a non-issue. Romney spoke directly with the company and explicity made it clear illegals were not acceptable under his hire.

They don't work for him anymore.

Will Obama’s Strategy of Divide and Conquer be the Death Knell of Socialism in America?
Posted on July 13, 2012
27
The Barack Obama who campaigned for the presidency in 2008 promoted himself as the great uniter and healer. Since taking office, however, he has done nothing but divide Americans and rub salt in old wounds. His way of doing this is classic Marxist and Fabian socialist tactic of inventing or reinventing the meaning of words. Obama has divided Americans into hyphenated tribes. We are now Women-Amercans and Gay-Americans and Black-Americans and Hispanic-Americans and his favorite class are the rich and poor-Americans. But that is just the tip of the iceberg of how Obama has changed our language. Thomas Sowell tells us more in his Real Clear Politics article, The Invincible Lie. Let’s take a look at some excerpts:
Anyone who wants to study the tricks of propaganda rhetoric has a rich source of examples in the statements of President Barack Obama. On Monday, July 9th, for example, he said that Republicans “believe that prosperity comes from the top down, so that if we spend trillions more on tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, that will somehow unleash jobs and economic growth.”
Like Sowell, I want to focus on the word “spend” in the above quote. Most people when they hear a politician talk about government spending they assume the politician is talking about monies spent from government’s revenue;i.e., the revenue it receives from taxing its citizens. But, in Obama-speak he is referring to money that the government doesn’t tax on a given income class; the rich. So, if government doesn’t tax somebody, that is by Obama’s definition wasteful government spending. Obama, also, has an interesting definition of the word “investment”, as Sowell points out:
Ironically, actual spending by the Obama administration for the benefit of its political allies, such as the teachers’ unions, is not called spending but “investment.” You can say anything if you have your own private language.
Sowell goes on to talk about how Obama uses the word “spending” and how it relates to the “wealthiest Americans” as if he wants to tax that wealth. But, except for inheritance tax, we don’t tax wealth in this country. We tax income. And, Sowell correctly points out that the two are not the same:
People over 65 years of age have far more wealth than people in their thirties and forties — but lower incomes. If Obama wants to talk about raising income taxes, let him talk about it, but claiming that he wants to tax “the wealthiest Americans” is a lie and an emotional distraction for propaganda purposes.
It doesn’t matter to Barack Obama if he is able to raise one more dime in taxes or not. He is only interested in getting four more years to continue his socialist transformation of America. It helps that he has his own language.
So, will Barack Obama be successful in transforming America into a European style socialist state? I have to tell you that I am not sure that we are not already there. But, I read an article by the Sultan Knish that that was reblogged at the John Malcom blog. Sultan Knish poses the question “Will Obama Destroy Socialism?”. This article, dear readers, is an impressive bit of writing. I highly recommend your reading it whether you agree with the inference that Obama will destroy socialism or not. The Sultan starts out his article with this:
You can make corncob pipes, eighteen wheel trucks or microprocessors– but you can’t make jobs. Jobs are not a commodity or a service. They cannot be created independently through a job creating program. Rather they are the side-effect of a working economy. Trying to short circuit the economy with job creation programs is like trying to run a fruit orchard by neglecting the trees and instead buying fruit at inflated prices to resell to your customers at a lower price. It’s feasible, but not sustainable.
Latter in his dismantling of Obama’s policies, he has this to say:

Tea Party out with Mitt's forces ?

PORTLAND, Maine (AP)— Members of Maine's Republican Party have filed a challenge to a pro-Ron Paul slate of delegates from Maine who were elected to attend next month's Republican National Convention.

Peter Cianchette, a prominent Republican leader, and Janet Martens Staples, a Maine representative on the Republican National Committee, filed the challenge to 14 pro-Paul delegates and alternates on Saturday, the last day they could be challenged.

Leftist Media: Michelle Obama’s “Marie Antoinette” Spain Vacation vs. Nancy Reagan & Laura Bush Replacing Old, Chipped White House China

August 7, 2010

The left-wing news media has a nasty penchant for attacking Republican First Ladies buying new china for the White House. With PRIVATE DONATIONS… not a penny of taxpayers’ money.

Yet, when faced with Michelle Obama channeling her inner “Marie Antoinette/Uptown Girl” in Spain this week — of which taxpayers will foot far, far more than they bargained for — why do these journalist hacks swoon and simper?

Oh. Wait. Left-wing media. Got it.

By definition, that means suppress or ignore all negative Democrat news until it is no longer humanly possible, but excoriate and flog all Republicans, especially First Ladies (or Alaskan governors), on matters that have no financial impact on taxpayers.(REMEMBER THE FLAK ABOUT SARAH PALIN'S MAKEOVER??? A PITTANCE COMPARED TO MOOCHELLE'S)

In all fairness, some of the liberal media, including CBS Evening News, are clucking their disapproval over Michelle Antoinette’s glitzy “let them eat lobster” European vacation. Some, but not all.

All of the liberal media, however, went ballistic and in full attack mode against then-First Lady Nancy Reagan’s replacing the old, chipped, or missing (stolen as souvenirs) White House china (she personally raised the contributions for the set) and then, a few decades later, they again chewed out First Lady Laura Bush for replacing the old, chipped, or missing WH china. NOTE: Both did it with DONATION money, not taxpayers’ money.

The hypocrisy here is mighty thick… about as thick as Florida’s Rep. Alan “I’m a Leftist Loon and Dang Proud of It” Grayson’s growing stack of hate mail.

I’m thinking that Nancy or Laura should not have been concerned about how state dinners with international leaders would look with chipped tea cups and mismatched dessert plates.

Instead, they should have been self-indulgent Material Girls… they should have flown on their own private, fuel-guzzling, government-issued jet, without their spousal POTUS in tow. They should have shunned vacationing in the we-need-the-business United States and flown to any other country, while bringing 40 of their best friends and a taxpayer-funded, beefed-up Secret Service.

They should have stayed for four days in a premier luxury resort hotel overlooking the Mediterranean Sea with 24-hour BUTLER SERVICE and posh spas (as well as whispered gangster ties) while Americans are suffering through the worst economic recession in more than 30 years and 9.5% unemployment.

If they had done that, well, maybe the left-wing media would have been more civil to Laura and Nancy about the White House china.

The spoils system has a long history in American politics, but it was never as spoiled as all this. There is no parallel in American history for the spoils system being used not just to rotate out supporters of the old administration and replace them with your lackeys, but to hijack the economy as your own spoils system to the tune of trillions of dollars.
Obama responded to an economic crisis by working to create two kinds of jobs. Government and union jobs. This was not about anything as simple as rewarding his supporters. The Black community got very little in exchange for supporting him. The Hispanic community similarly ended up with some token appointments, but not much to show for it. This was about shifting jobs from the private sector into the public sector and its feeders. To manufacture the types of jobs that feed money back into the Democratic party and expand the scope of the government bureaucracy.
How many times have we heard Obama taught that the private sector has added jobs for X consecutive months? He doesn’t brag, however, about the growth of the federal bureaucracy though, does he? No, in fact he always says that under “me” government jobs have declined. But, it was none of his doing. Government jobs have declined only because of the efforts of states and municipalities to get their houses in order

As the old truism says: dress a monkey in a suit and it is still a monkey. The Kenyan Snake holds the title of President but he's still a Kenyan Snake. The list of his lies is greater than any President in recent memory and grows with each passing day. An American President that doesn't know how many States are in the Union cannot be called an American President. An American President in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression who exclaims that "The Private Sector is doing just fine" is not an American President but an international joke and embarrassment.
Respect is earned. Not only has this Jerk not earned any respect but has actually lost it and continues to lose more before his countrymen each time he opens his racist, Affirmative Action mouth.
Call me a bigot, racist or any of a thousand other Liberal schoolyard taunts but they are all irrelevant and harmless to me. Your name calling speaks volumes to your desperation, frustration and confusion regarding the untenable position of apologizing for the Jerk you bend your knees to.
I surely don't respect you, either. You and your captain are in the same rowboat together using only one oar.
I beleve you summed the problem up quite well, just want to add,, the people who made him who is, was never who I would call true Americans.

You do know the crap really hasn't hit the fan yet about the national security leaks coming directly from the White House??

Romney's former landscape company hiring illegals without his knowledge kind of pales in comparison. Wouldn't you agree?

Palestinian officials on Monday accused presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney of racism after he told wealthy donors — including billionaire Sheldon Adelson — that Israelis were more economically successful because of their culture and intervention by God.

“And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things,” Romney remarked at a $25,000-a-plate fundraiser, adding that a climate of innovation and the “hand of providence” also played a part.

“As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000 dollars, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality,” he said.

According to the CIA, Israelis had a 2011 per capital income of $31,400, while Palestinians had a per capita income of just $2,900.

“What is this man doing here?” Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat told The Associated Press.“Yesterday, he destroyed negotiations by saying Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and today he is saying Israeli culture is more advanced than Palestinian culture. Isn’t this racism?”

The Mouse That Roared
Iran is again front-page news, on this occasion for threatening the United States Navy. A lengthy featured article in the Washington Post describes how Iran has obtained new sophisticated anti-ship missiles and has added fast attack boats and submarines. It has also adopted new tactics involving swarming attacks that would put US vessels in a 360-degree battle environment, testing the ability of the conventional warships to maintain effective defense in all directions simultaneously.
None of this is really new. Wargames in 2002 and Pentagon studies in 2009 and again earlier this year confirmed that the US Navy would have considerable difficulty in dealing with the Iranian tactics. I reported the same in April of this year in my Deep Background column in the print edition of The American Conservative. Not surprisingly, the Post and I are viewing the same development in slightly different ways. For me, Iran’s capabilities are just one more reason why a war with all its unintended and unanticipated consequences would have the potential to turn catastrophic with one or more US Navy ships going to the bottom and oil going past $200 a barrel.
....Actually, it is naïve to believe that Iran is some kind of Islamic superpower able to project itself worldwide. If Iran’s capabilities were as described by Warrick and Pletka it would be a good reason to be hesitant about going to war. Warrick clearly wants to promote and not spoil a good narrative demonstrating that Tehran threatens all of us. In reality, Iran is far behind Israeli and US military capabilities in all significant areas and its sponsorship of terrorism is far from proven. Washington’s right to have a massive military and naval presence in the Middle East is unquestioned by the Post as is Israel’s right to attack Iran preemptively. But defensive measures by Iran in the face of five years of increasingly specific threats from Washington and Tel Aviv are somehow sinister.
http://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-mo...
Iran's navy fleet can be found online and it's not very impressive, many of it's craft are aged and incomplete. LMAO at the US Navy having a difficult time defending against a 360 degree attack. Pretty sure the Navy has a few jets and a couple of cruise missiles. Sometimes I wonder who writes some of the nonsense that gets linked her and then I remember some of the turds that post here.

Iran is your basic one trick pony, Tehran is it, there is nothing else and one well placed nuke into the heart of Tehran by the US, Israel or anyone with a nuke stops Iran dead in it's tracks. That's all it takes, just one, and the Iranian people quit.

Didn't you say a few days ago that the democrat plan is to raise taxes and cut spending?

"In a warning earlier this week (June), the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) noted that both the spending cuts and tax increases, slated to become effective in Jan. 1, 2013, will drain some $607 billion from the ailing U.S. economy next year."
