AAA Huge Mess
AAA save Big Bird
Obama and the Democrats rally to defend Big Bird
While the country is in the
throes of a pathetic recovery and 23 million people are looking for work, the President has spent the last week defending
Big Bird. Now we know that the
Democrats are for the little guy, but in economic terms, Sesame Street is a “1 percenter,”an organization that has brought
in somewhere in the neighborhood of $630,000,000
during the same time that Romney amassed a $190,000,000 fortune. And the Democrats are saying that they need
to keep Sesame Street on welfare (or
is that easy street?).
In the meanwhile both
Krauthammer and Kirsten Powers riptrivial and out of touch Big Bird ad.
Big Bird: Obama’s second
term agenda
Having been routed in the first debate, President Obama has
found a comeback strategy: Fly Big Bird. Specifically, mock Mitt Romney's call to cut federal subsidies for the millionaires
at the Sesame Workshop and pledge to defend the Public Broadcasting Service
no matter how much money the Treasury has to borrow.
At least he's finally discovereda second-term agenda.
John Heilemann: Obama campaign is flailing
It appears John Heilemann is
unhappy with the Obama campaign since the debate and is willing to say it.
“I
think they have been horrible since the
debate,” said Heilemann. “They are flailing right now. And the stuff
they’re saying, the Big Bird ad, all
of it.”
It does seem to be a campaign without
focus and with the record they have, they don’t seem to have anything to run
on. The Big Bird ad? It’s looking like a fine feathered mess.
Chris Matthews without the tingle
Matthews discusses the Big Bird Ad. We are seeing a campaign in meltdown.
Nancy Pelosi sees a Romney win as only a remote possibility
Good news because Nancy
doesn’t have a very good track record when it comes to making predictions. What is
remote is a victory by Obama and it’s getting more remote every day.
Obama losing the youth vote
The latest Pew Poll showed
that Obama’s support among those under30 has dropped from 65 to 58 percent while Romney’s support has risen from
32 to 42 percent. Overall that takes Obama’s margin from 33 percent down to 15
percent. If the Obama campaign is not
panicking they should be.
Pollster gives VA, FL, and NC to Romney
“In
places like North Carolina, Virginia and Florida, we’ve already painted thosered. We’re not polling any of those states again. We’re focusing on
the remaining states.”
Is Obama now a pretend candidate?
When there is no more fire in the belly and you are
outclassed in every respect by your opponent, what do you do? How does
Obama have his "No más" moment gracefully? Or did we witness it
already when he quit partway through the first debate?
Does the man who pretended to be
president now pretend to be a candidate?
Chris Christie predicts
a mean and angry Obama at remaining debates
“So I think you’re
going to see a mean and angry president
in the next two debates, and Gov. Romney
will be Gov. Romney. I mean, that’s a strength of Gov. Romney. He’s going
to be who he is. He’s comfortable with
who he is and the positions he’s taking, and he’s just going to express
those to the American people in the same
calm and hopeful manner that he did last Wednesday night. And I think the
public is going to respond very well to that.”
Kindergarden of Eden: How
modern liberals think
First question: In the book you
say, “When I say the modern liberal is morally and intellectually retarded
at the level of a five year old child, it is not hyperbole, it’s a
diagnosis.” Explain that.
I was merely saying that the modern liberal is somewhat immature in his thinking and I would
definitely pick the age of five.
I agree with this. Parents
socialize their children to play fair, take turns, etc. A number of years ago we had the book, Everything I really need to know I learn in
Kindergarden. It was a hit
especially among the liberals. When I
was five I remember watching a commercial for Camel cigarettes. They said, “More people smoke camels than any other cigarette.” I was confused because to my child like mind
I wondered why they would say that
because people would buy the other cigarettes so the other brands wouldn’t go
out of business. Today’s liberal
think that way, like a five year old.
Does anything disqualify a liberal from being a debate moderator?
President Barack Obama was a guest
at the 1991 wedding of ABC senior foreign correspondent and vice presidential
debate moderator Martha Raddatz, The Daily Caller has learned. Obama
and groom Julius Genachowski, whom Obama would later tap to head the Federal
Communications Commission, were Harvard Law School classmates at the time and
members of the Harvard Law Review.
Jack Welch explains the BLS September miracle
Let's
get real. The unemployment data reported each month are gathered over a one-week period by census workers, by phone in
70% of the cases, and the rest through home visits. In sum, they try to contact 60,000 households,
asking a list of questions and recording the responses.
Some questions allow for unambiguous answers, but others
less so. For instance, the range for part-time work falls between one hour and
34 hours a week. So, if an out-of-work accountant tells a census worker,
"I got one baby-sitting job this week just to cover my kid's bus fare, but
I haven't been able to find anything else,"
that could be recorded as being employed part-time.
The possibility of subjectivity creeping into the process is
so pervasive that the BLS's own
"Handbook of Methods" has a full page explaining the limitations of
its data, including how non-sampling errors get made, from
"misinterpretation of the questions" to "errors made in the
estimations of missing data."
Bottom line: To suggest
that the input to the BLS data-collection system is precise and bias-free
is—well, let's just say, overstated.
Meanwhile,
we're told in the BLS report that in the months of August and September, federal, state and local governments added
602,000 workers to their payrolls, the largest two-month increase in more
than 20 years. And the BLS tells us
that, overall, 873,000 workers were added in September, the largest one-month
increase since 1983, during the booming Reagan recovery.
The
reality is the economy is experiencing a weak recovery. Everything points to
that, particularly the overall
employment level, which is 143 million people today, compared with 146 million
people in 2007.
I’m still sticking with my
explanation. It’s a miracle!
Obama’s biggest problem
Obama, meanwhile, will tell you that we have achieved much
in his first four years: He inherited the worst recession in a generation and at least he stopped the job losses; we’ve
even got some economic growth.
The problem is, as
Romney noted in the debate, this year’s growth is slower than last year’s —
and last year was worse than the year before.
That’s just not what we should see coming out of a recession
— especially a bad one. Historically, a bad hit is always followedby a big bounce.
The last statement was true even in
the Depression. Obama’s plans have
failed.
Obama’s economic record
How dismal is his
record? Watch this.
The Obama Administration in the age of the internet
The Obama Administration is
now saying they never blamed the attack
in Benghazi on protest over an anti-Mohammed film. As you can see, that was the talking points when it happened and it continued
for up to two weeks after the attack.
Lying in the internet age is simply stupid.
What voter fraud?
James O’Keefe has done it again – this time capturing video
of a paid Obama Organizing for
America director in Houston, Texas, assisting a double-voting scheme
directed toward Florida. In the video, an undercover Obama “volunteer”
tells Organizing for America’s Stephanie Caballero that she wanted to vote
twice to help reelect President Obama.
The undercover “volunteer” tells Caballero, “I’m going to
vote by ballot and then I have mine here too.”
After the volunteer tells Caballero her plan, Caballero volunteers to help the double
voter get the forms to request an absentee ballot in Florida. “I’ll print
that out and you just have to mail it back,” Caballero says.
The USA’s fair share is the largest in the world
"The
United States is actually more dependent on rich people to pay taxes than even
many of the more socialized economies of Europe. According to the Tax
Foundation, the United States gets 45
percent of its total taxes from the top 10 percent of tax filers, whereas the international average in industrialized
nations is 32 percent. America’s rich carry a larger share of the tax
burden than do the rich in Belgium (25 percent), Germany (31 percent), France
(28 percent), and even Sweden (27 percent)."
