Obama’s terror “touchdown dance “is over. “It is true that Osama bin Laden is dead, but that creditable action hasn’t ended the Islamist threat. The president has lost his way in the Middle East and is too full of self-regard to acknowledge the problem.” In the age of hopeless change, it’s always 3 AM.
FLOTUS: Obesity “absolutely” greatest threat to National Security. The huge fat deposits that clog the cranial cavities of our “leadership” are the biggest threat of all.
Federal Reserve announces open ended QE III. “Open-ended”, like a “bottomless pit”: the program will “buy bonds until the economy improves.” Well, this crap has given us 3 “summers of non-recovery” already, maybe Helicopter Ben is now trying for a “fall of disaster” or such. Voltaire said “Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value-zero.” Zero – in honor of Obama.
Marines guarding US Embassy in Egypt not permitted live ammo? “Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson ‘did not permit U.S. Marine guards to carry live ammunition,’ according to multiple reports on U.S. Marine Corps blogs.” “…reports indicate that the Obama administration was relying on Egypt’s new Muslim Brotherhood-backed government to ensure American security…” WTF????
NBC chief foreign correspondent blasts Obama’s “Egypt not an ally” statement. “If we’ve lost Egypt as an ally, Engel asks, wasn’t supporting the effort to overthrow Hosni Mubarak a huge mistake?” Now you’re starting to get it, champ – a day late and a trillion dollars short.
Is Obama himself responsible for 9/11/12 attacks? “…[Obama’s] campaign slogan is ‘GM’s alive and Osama’s dead,’ or something like that. They’re ramming it down the throats of Islamists all over the world. In fact, in Egypt at the embassy yesterday, the protesters were all shouting, ‘We’re all Osamas, Obama.'” Yeah, the Ditz-o-crats have been spiking the ball on OBL (because that’s their only touchdown in the last four years.) Makes more sense than anything the MSM has said.

Hmmm… did open mic capture press coordinating questions to Romney? “I’m just trying to make sure that we’re just talking about, no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question.” We wonder how anyone can hear any of the “reporters'” questions with their heads so far up Mr. Obama’s Barack.
Attack on US ambassador planned: report. “US officials are increasingly suspicious that the murder Tuesday of the US ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other American officials was not the result of a protest against an anti-Islam film, but instead was a coordinated terror strike timed for the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.” Better tell the jackasses on MSNBC, they’re already calling for a show trial of the filmmaker.
White House declines Netanyahu request to meet with Obama. If you hadn’t heard about this because you were focused on the awesome results of President Plastic Jebus’s work in Egypt and Libya (all his, by the way – these countries were relatively stable when Bush left office), you may have missed the fact that BO refused to meet with the leader of our one real ally in the region because his schedule is “full”. Awesome.
Obama held no presidential intelligence breifings, ignored warnings before attacks. Emabassy staff knew something was up: staffer saw a man casing the building, taking pictures. Evidence attacks were coordinated. Warnings ignored. Obama was too busy with more important things (being interviewed by a radio guy named “Pimp with a Limp”) to be bothered. Must be Bush’s fault.
Is this 1979? “Once again we have an American government that either tacitly or actively undermined an ally in the region in favor of supposedly democratic Islamist radicals, and once again we have an American government that gets taken by surprise when the government that results either fails to protect our embassies and consulates or arguably participated in an attack on them. Once again, the response to those attacks have been more mea culpa than mighty, and once again the weakness of the response puts our other diplomatic missions at risk.” Gee, Barack and Jimmy, very different people but getting pretty much the same lousy results in so many important areas. Weird, huh? Wonder why that is….
Schumer tempted to eat “delicious” laundry detergent. With the economy humming along and unemployment at record lows, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has time to probe what really ails society – tasty-looking laundry detergent: “I saw one on my staffer’s desk and I wanted to eat it.” “I don’t know why they make them look so delicious.” Uh, been on that water-only diet long, Chuck?
Free-fall: Adjusted for inflation, print newspaper advertising will be lower this year than in 1950. Looks like one of those cliffs Obama’s been drivin’ the car toward. Forward!
Flashback: Gallup had Carter up 4 points over Ronald Reagan in September 1980. Also, Michael the “Tank Commander” Dukakis led Bush Sr. by 17 pts after the 1988 DNC. For the record, Reagan won by 9 and Bush by 8. Just a little reminder in case you’ve been listening to the Braindead Media drool over “the big bounce” their boyfriend got from Bill Clinton’s speech last week.
GM is still losing as much as $49,000 on each Volt it builds. Don’t worry, they’ll make it up on volume. “…the Volt is over-engineered and over-priced,’ said Dennis Virag, president of the Automotive Consulting Group.” In other words, the damn thing costs too much and does too little, just like everything else championed by it’s biggest booster, President Empty Chair.
White House Insider: Ohio now turning to Romney. A new poll released today by the pro-Obama PPP shows Obama ahead in “Oiho” 50-45. Digging in to the sample reveals it was Democrat (+4) and women (+9) heavy: “In a polling sample that favored Barack Obama by nearly 10 points, the best he can do is a 5 point advantage.” Don’t panic.
Chicago teachers walk out. Turn Down $400 Million Deal, 16% Pay Raise. It’s all for the children.
Obama Pulls a Biden: “Three proud words – Made in the USA!” It’s really not a big deal but you KNOW if Romney or Ryan did it, the sh*tstream media would be playing it from now until election day. So, in the spirit of “what’s good for the gander is good for the goose-egg”…
Do the Math: Rasmussen party affiliation survey bodes well for Romney. Take a gander at Rasmussen’s history of Party affiliation – the numbers for Aug 2012 are R-37.6%, D-33.3%, I-29.2%. In November 2008, it was R-33.8%, D-41.4% and I-24.7%. This is basically a +12 pt swing to the Rs and an even bigger spread in favor of R than November 2010 (R-36%, D-34.7%), when the Dems lost 63 seats in Congress.
A lot of media polls showing Obama slightly ahead have a sample similar to 2008’s. What would the results be if they used the current Rasmussen sample? Do the math: let’s simplify a little and assume Obama gets all the D voters, Romney gets all the R and they split the I’s (Obama won the I’s in 2008 but no matter for the illustration.) Using the 2008 sample, we get Obama with 53.8% of the vote and Romney with 46.2%, pretty close to the actual result.
Using the 2012 sample, we get Romney 51.2% and Obama 47.9%, again remembering we are SPLITTING INDIES DOWN THE MIDDLE (Carville claims Romney is up by 16 with them!) If Carville is right, the numbers would look even better – our calculator shows Romney at 54.5%, Obama 45.5%.
The MSM is putting out a lot of propaganda to try and make it seem like Obama is a lock, but there are plenty of signs to the contrary. We have to say if Rasmussen is anywhere NEAR right about party affiliation, Romney’s chances are much better than they will admit.
Obama “promise” expires after one day. Thursday night, Obama said “I will NEVER turn Medicare into a voucher”, but “back in Washington, his Health and Human Services Department is launching a pilot program that would shift up to 2 million of the poorest and most-vulnerable seniors out of the federal Medicare program and into private health insurance plans overseen by the states.” Obama’s promises go bad faster than his dog-and-arugula leftovers.
AP reports Mexico arrests suspect in Fast and Furious related killing of Brian Terry – Guess whose name is NOT mentioned? They do manage to find a way to mention Bush, though. Dear AP, we wonder: is it dark in the tank for Obama or what? Can you find your butts with just your hands or do you need flashlights too?
Michael Moore: No, Obama didn’t save Detroit. “No, he didn’t. He saved General Motors and Chrysler… global corporations who suck our towns dry and then split town to make more money elsewhere (except, of course, they continued to design and built crap cars, so eventually they didn’t make the money at all).” Is Moore rolling out the “progressivism didn’t fail, Obama did” meme already? If so, it’s not a good omen for the Light-headed One.
Lady Gaga: If Romney wins, let’s move to new planet. For her, earth would be a new planet.
Are Chinese banks hiding “The mother of all debt bombs”? “Financial collapses may have different immediate triggers, but they all originate from the same cause: an explosion of credit. This iron law of financial calamity should make us very worried about the consequences of easy credit in China in recent years.” Undoubtedly Bush’s fault.
Why were no WMDs found in Iraq? New study says CIA blew it. A classified mea-culpa: after the mid-90s defection of Hussein Kamel al-Majid (Saddam’s son-in-law & 2nd cousin), Saddam decided to forego the “cheat and retreat” policy he had been using since 1991, and play it straight. But the CIA continued to assume he was still lying. “There was no sudden intelligence failure caused by Blackwater, George Bush and Dick Cheney.” A massive, decade-long screw-up.
