Tea Party rally draws thousands to Indian River County (FL) fairgrounds. Meanwhile, Sandra Fluke spoke in front of about 10 people in Reno, NV. But the waste-stream media will say it was 10 thousand. Make that eleventy thousand.

Back in the EUSSR? Notice anything about this European Commission poster? “For three generations, the badge of the Soviet revolution [the hammer and sickle] meant poverty, slavery, torture and death.” No, not that – we mean they left out the Nazi swastika. After all, they were socialists too.

Bruce Springsteen sings his Obama campaign song. “Tramps like us, baby we were born to run.” Ooops, wrong song. The YouTube commenters are not too impressed, either. BTW, BS says Obama calls him a couple of times a week… maybe BS is now the person responsible for consolate security?

Former Obama advisor: Our foreign policy is a mess — especially in the Middle East. “Brooks offers a devastating set of suggestions to improve the situation…: 1) Get a strategy 2) Get some decent managers 3) Get people who actually know something 4) Get out of the bubble 5) Get a backbone.” Would be a LOT easier just to get a new president. You don’t need a diplomat to know which way the wind thru Obama’s ears blows.

Good news: Interior Department creating their very own climate-change committee. No idiot bureaucracy “…can ever be really complete without it’s own personal council of green-energy-promotin’, climate-change-science-pushin’ environmentalist types…” Because our economy is not screwed up enough yet.

CA official whose agency under-reported unemployment stats was Obama campaign donor. Remember last week when the BLS reported jobless claims had fallen by 30,000 to 339,000, their lowest level since February 2008, and the media/left was cheering the “good news”? But later on, we found out that California had under-reported jobless data, skewing the results? Well, just by coincidence, the head of that agency that made this boo-boo also happens to be an Obama donor. Unexpectedly.

Obama to John Stewart on Benghazi: “If four Americans get killed, it’s not OPTIMAL.” What would be optimal is if his stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure administration is put out to pasture come January.

Chicago blacks say Democrats are “clueless about how mad they’ve made black folk” in the last year. “Black people are angry that unemployment is so high in places like the Southside of Chicago and that Obama’s been ‘looking for votes from illegals by giving Mexicans amnesty’ and thus taking away jobs from black people.” Backfire.

The complete list of President Obama’s taxpayer-backed green energy failures. Now contains A123! Just think, if a Republican were president the media and the lefties (we know, same thing) would be whining about how many children could have been fed with that money.

Britain’s High-Tech Thought Police.“What country has just sentenced a man to eight months in prison for wearing an anti-police t-shirt, and another man to three months in prison for telling an ‘abhorrent’ joke on Facebook? Iran, perhaps? China? No, it’s Britain.” Mr. Orwell, call your office.

#fail: Electric car battery-maker A123 Systems has filed for bankruptcy. “The president of the US, Michigan’s former governor, the state’s two U.S. senators and the U.S. Secretary of Energy promised thousands of jobs from a company that in a mere two years went bankrupt. Despite a bankruptcy or buyout predicted by outside observers, the company continued to reward its top executives while laying off most of its workforce.” Crony capitalism is not capitalism.

Luntz focus group unloads on Obama after debate. “I was not undecided between Obama and Romney. I was undecided between Romney and not voting.” “…Can’t take four more years of the same.” The way Obama’s going, he could turn California and Massachusetts into swing states.

Handpicked panel of undecided voters breaks hard For Romney. Interesting that when the public sees Romney as he is, unaided by the MSM’s “reportage” and the Obama campaign’s smears, they prefer him to an empty chair.

Luntz Focus Group Member on Obama: He’s been bullsh*tting the public for 4 years. He’s a focus group member and he’s sure got things well focused.

Obama walks away from question about Clinton’s Benghazi blame. “Is Hillary to blame for Benghazi?” puts him on the spot: “yes” makes him look weak and weasely, “no” will confirm to people that he’s responsible. Well, maybe Hillary has outplayed the 11-dimensional chess master, after all. Excellent.

FLOTUS: Reach out to “knuckleheads,” tell them to vote. From one bunch of knuckleheads to another.

The buck stops THERE… Hillary takes blame for Benghazi. “‘I take responsibility’ for what happened on September 11, Clinton said in an interview with CNN’s Elise Labott soon after arriving in Lima, Peru, for a visit.” She’s in Peru and the debate is tomorrow night. The empty chair now can “answer” any questions about the disaster. How convenient. (Video at the link.)

Chinese Motors: GM’s own chairman says 7 out of every 10 cars his company builds these days comes off a foreign assembly line. Bin Laden’s dead, GM is alive, neither of them are in the US.

Former NY Times columnist: “The Tea Party will win in the end.” “This is a nation that loathes government and always has. Liberals should not be deluded: The Goldwater revolution will ultimately triumph, regardless of what happens in November.” But Frank Rich is not happy about it: “Conservatives are the cockroaches of the American body politic.” That famous lefty “tolerance” comes shining through, as always. Right back at ya, Frankie.

Florida passes plan for racially-based academic goals. “The Florida State Board of Ed’s plan that says that by 2018, it wants 90 percent of Asian students, 88 percent of white students, 81 percent of Hispanics and 74 percent of black students to be reading at or above grade level.” Well, Jamal Chen-Martinez-Kowalski will be glad to hear that… we think.

Harry’s Reid’s Senate is dysfunctional, says … Tom Daschle. “If we’re the standard by which other Democracies and republics judge themselves, we’ve lowered the bar, it’s vital for us to do a better job than we’re doing today, and that must begin, as much as anywhere, in the Senate.” Harry Reid can’t find the time to pass a budget but has plenty of time to bray about other people’s tax returns.

BBC in crisis as sex abuse scandal surfaces. “…[the late Jimmy Savile] was a prominent children’s entertainer whose status afforded him unsupervised access to a near-endless supply of potential victims. To make matters worse, it’s alleged senior figures at the BBC who were aware of his predilections chose to turn a blind eye.” Sex scandals… they’re not just for football teams and churches anymore.

BENGHAZI-GATE: Did two heroic SEALs ruin Obama’s October Surprise? A conspiracy theory making the rounds is that the White House hatched a plan to have our ambassador taken hostage in Libya so that Obama could trade the currently incarcerated “Blind Sheikh” for him just before the election and look like a hero. The unexpected presence of two SEALs ruined everything, so the story goes. Wacky as it sounds, it seems just as plausible as anything that’s come out of the Administration mouth-pieces since Sept. 11.

New Obama ad: Few presidents have faced so many challenges. Don’t waste money on an emetic, just play this video when you need to vomit. Yeah, every president inherits challenges, but no president has been so skilled at exacerbating them and then blaming someone else for it. Say, who’s Obama gonna blame for all the challenges he “inherited” if we unexpectedly re-elect him?

Why I’ll never trust PPP’s polls. When push-poll becomes shove-poll: “Do you believe conservative media want white people to think Barack Obama hates them?” And by the way, do you still beat your wife? Polling!
