Romney says Obama has “spent too much time at Harvard, perhaps.” I see. Obama spent three years at Harvard Law School. On the other hand, Mitt Romney, privileged child of a prominent American politician, attended Harvard University for four years to pick up two professional degrees, in law and business, before heading into the cowardly, privileged adult-child’s fake professions of … Read More
The Obama “Gaffe”
Here's what Obama said: MR. SINGLETON: Mr. President, you said yesterday that it would be unprecedented for a Supreme Court to overturn laws passed by an elected Congress. But that is exactly what the Court has done during its entire existence. If the Court were to overturn individual mandate, what would you do, or propose to do, for the 30 … Read More
This Is How Screwed Up Florida’s Laws Are
So… the Republican National Convention is being held in Tampa this election cycle. And the organizers want to make the convention safe for the conventioneers as they elect Mitt Romney to run against Obama. Unfortunately, they can't override Florida's ridiculous gun laws. So at the end of the day, here's what is permissible and impermissible at the convention site: IMPERMISSIBLE … Read More
Santorum Is Getting Desperate
He's making things up now: SANTORUM: I was just reading something last night from the state of California. And that the California universities – I think it’s seven or eight of the California system of universities don’t even teach an American history course. It’s not even available to be taught. Here's the video (it's low quality): And he's right in … Read More
Etch-a-Sketch Pt. II
In the post below (yesterday), I suggested buying stock in Etch-a-Sketch. WELL….. the stock price for Ohio Art (makers of Etch-a-Sketch) has doubled — up 212% today. You didn't listen to me, did you? UPDATE: Triples!
Etch-a-Sketch
Should buy stock in them. I don't think "Etch-a-Sketch" as a political metaphor for Romney is going away soon. UPDATE: Wow! That was quick! The faux pas was only this morning, and already the DNC has an ad out. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, the faux pas by the Romney spokesman is contained in the ad):
The Latest Stupid Kerfuffle
Robert DeNiro at Obama fundraiser last night: "Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?" A joke, right? Not a side-splitter, but obviously a joke. Newt Gingrich feigns outrage and demands an apology from Obama: “What DeNiro said last night was inexcusable and the president should apologize for him. It … Read More
Does Obama Control The Price Of Gas? Graphic Answers….
Answer: No. The price of gas is contingent on a world market. But surely, if Obama increases oil production here in the United States, that will affect gas prices. I mean, aren't the two related? Answer: No
The Obama Campaign Film
You've heard about it, here it is. Narrated by Tom Hanks. It serves as a nice contrast to the media buys coming out of the GOP race. While Republicans strive to outdo themselves in portraying the current and future apocalypse, this piece projects a calm, quiet assurance that things are getting better. It was almost a relief to watch after … Read More
Republicans Not Crazy About Protecting Some Women From Violence
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) passed overwhelmingly in 1994, and was renewed easily in 2000 and 2005. But it suddenly became a partisan issue last month, when every Republican on the Judiciary Committee opposed it, and it passed in a 10 to 8 vote. The act, estimated to have dramatically reduced domestic violence, funds a broad range of training programs and aid for … Read More
You Know It’s A Strange Election Year When Kristen Chenowith Gets Involved
From Broadway Buzz: Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth’s new TV series GCB may be all about “characters and fun,” according to the Broadway vet, but Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich isn’t so sure. After the ABC series, which is about conniving church ladies in Texas, first aired on March 4, Gingrich spoke out against the comedy's subject matter, labeling the show “anti-Christian bigotry,” as reported … Read More
The Right Wing Continues To Vet Obama As If He Hasn’t Been President For 3 Years
Let's see… So last week the bid deal-i-o was that Obama, when he was a Harvard Law student in the 1990's, said something positive about Harvard Law's first tenured black professor, Derrick Bell. This means that Obama is a radical Muslim who wants to put white people in concentration camps (and the first few years of normalcy under the Obama … Read More
Olive Garden Is Great
A guest post by Mitt Romney: Let me tell you, this place is great. Is this where you folks normally eat? Only when you're broke, that's right. Heh. Ann and I sat in a booth near the kitchen. There was a fireplace, a real old-fashioned hearth, in the corner, and a nice vase on the ledge. I love décor; napkins … Read More
At The Pump
Can we get one thing straight? The Republican candidates are hoping to make it Obama's fault that gas prices are on the rise. It's ridiculous. Gas prices are on the rise because of the unsettled Middle East. And while Obama hasn't resolved the Middle East conflicts, nobody has in… well, centuries. The other thing the GOp candidates say is that … Read More
What’s Up With The Polls?
They are all over the place. This week began when a national Washington Post/ABC poll (conducted March 7-10) revealed that President Obama's approval rating had dropped from 50% to 46% — and it cited rising gas prices as the culprit. Then a New York Times/CBS survey (conducted March 7-11) found the president's job rating declined to 41%, which seemed to cement this narrative: … Read More
