Obama Mitt Romney Ron Paul

2011-10-09T10:12:00.000-07:00

As President Obama has been busy destroying online poker for US players, cracking down on medical marijuana for 'Occupy (insert any place)' unwashed protesters and generally doing all he can to destroy the greatest economy on earth, let's take a look at what some of the GOP Presidential candidates have been doing.

The Weekly Standard's Michael Warren reports: "This morning, Mitt Romney used his foreign policy address at the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina to criticize what he called the Obama administration's 'feckless policies of the last three years.'

"I believe we are an exceptional country with a unique destiny and role in the world," Romney said, with an audience of cadets sitting behind him. "Not exceptional, as the president has derisively said, in the way that the British think Great Britain is exceptional or the Greeks think Greece is exceptional. In Barack Obama’s profoundly mistaken view, there is nothing unique about the United States."

Romney criticized the president on cutting the defense budget, as well. "I will reverse President Obama’s massive defense cuts," he said. "I will begin reversing

Obama-era cuts to national missile defense and prioritize the full deployment of a multilayered national ballistic missile defense system."

In his closing argument, Romney contrasted his vision of America's role in the world with that of Obama. "I will not surrender America’s role in the world," he said. "This is very simple. If you do not want America to be the strongest nation on Earth, I am not your president. You have that president today." The cadets appluaded(sic)."

The Washington Times' Sean Lengell had this report about Ron Paul: "Rep. Ron Paul easily won a Republican presidential candidate straw poll Saturday at the conservative Values Voter Summit in Washington, while two of the most popular candidates in the race — Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney — finished near the bottom.

Mr. Paul won with 37 percent of the vote, while businessman Herman Cain, who has been surging in the polls recently, finished in second with 23 percent. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum finished third with 16 percent."

California Democratic Rep Brad Sherman claimed to be unaware of the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case. This is the type of dishonest, incompetent politician that must be voted out of office as soon as possible.

Rachel Maddow Vibrating Bottom Mathews Moment

2010-05-22T13:43:00.000-07:00

Rachel Maddow is a radical left wing news commentator on far left cable outlet MSNBC. Rachel's TV ratings are in the toilet but her bottom started vibrating recently as she anticipated some primary races.

Her embarrassing comments (video below) were reminiscent of another MSNBC moonbat, Chris Matthews, who has a habit of putting his foot in his mouth.

Matthews once claimed to feel a thrill running up his leg after listening to Obama speak and later said after another Obama speech that he forgot the President was black for an hour.

Obama Tongue-Tied Trying to Answer Simple Question

2010-04-08T15:44:00.000-07:00

As President Obama destroys the American economy with higher and higher taxes, a lady from Charlotte, NC asks "why?". Obama spends more than 17 minutes rambling and stumbling through a nonsensical answer that never once approaches the truth. Obama is lost without a teleprompter.

It's an embarrassing, tongue-tied performance by our leader. One that will receive little if any coverage in the lame stream media. However, the popular Fox News program, Hannity, had all the highlights.

After the President's disgraceful "non answer", Sean Hannity interviews Dick Morris to get at the truth. Listen to our socialist President. You won't believe his "answer" to this lady's simple question.

Chris Matthews - I Forgot He Was Black

2010-04-05T14:01:00.000-07:00

from Obamaphiliac:

At what point does MSNBC (shameless as they are) get embarrassed by continuing to trot out Chris Tingles up my leg Matthews to offer up political analysis and believe me, I use the term analysis very loosely in this sense. What makes it worse, is they continue to trot him out live and in front of a camera. The only thing MSNBC has working in their favor is the fact that nobody really watches their channel, because well they are all nuts. But I digress.

In the aftermath of the State of the Union address, Matthews apparently forgot he was black speaking of President Obama, and continued on with that theme for entirely too long. Apparently the rest of the country has become color blind, except for the leftists that cant seem to stop bringing it up. Just watch the video it actually will do the soul some good to see Tingles Matthews embarrass himself AGAIN.

The Democratic president delivered the double-edged message in a sometimes tense session at a Republican congressional retreat in Baltimore as he sought to dig out of his deepest political rut since taking office a year ago.

Facing down his Republican critics two days after a State of the Union speech aimed at reconnecting with the public, Obama sought to counter their attempt to paint him as a big-spending liberal who only wants to expand government.

He accused Republicans of portraying his now-stalled healthcare reform effort as a "Bolshevik plot" and telling their constituents he is "doing all kinds of crazy stuff that's going to destroy America."

"I am not an ideologue," Obama assured his audience, prompting some murmuring in the crowd. "I'm not."

Assailing Republicans for trying to obstruct him on everything from economic stimulus to healthcare, Obama suggested their political motive was to score points with voters in the November congressional mid-term elections.

"These are serious times and what's required of all us is to do what's right for our country, even if it's not best for our politics," Obama said.

With his own poll numbers down and his presidency faltering after his first year, Obama has launched a drive this week to show Americans that he understands their economic pain.

A shocking Republican win last week in an election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts has cast much of Obama's agenda in doubt and jolted him into reshaping priorities to address the public's frustration about 10 percent unemployment. He used his State of the Union speech to declare jobs his top concern.

Obama's foray among his critics seemed unlikely to forge much bipartisan cooperation. Republicans sense a chance to seize on the sour public mood to make electoral gains against Democrats who control Congress.

For Obama, however, it was also a chance to try to frame the congressional campaign debate on his own terms.

NO MINCED WORDS

Taking on his opponents, Obama did not mince words.

He slammed blanket Republican opposition to a $787 billion economic stimulus plan passed by the Democratic-led Congress last year, saying despite that opposition, some Republican lawmakers appeared at ribbon-cutting ceremonies for projects in their districts funded by the program.

And he insisted that Friday's government report of 5.7 percent economic growth for the fourth quarter showed his efforts to jumpstart the economy were working.

While acknowledging double-digit unemployment could not be tolerated, Obama also reminded the lawmakers of the high joblessness and huge budget deficit he had inherited from his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush.

Lawmakers applauded politely when Obama and gave him a respectful hearing, but they challenged his policies openly during a contentious question-and-answer session.

The president, known for his "No-drama Obama" demeanor, grew testier as the session wore on. When Georgia congressman Tom Price charged he had repeatedly accused Republicans of offering "no ideas and no solutions," Obama shot back, "I don't think I said that."

But Obama also appealed to Republicans to work to find common ground and show Americans their parties can move beyond partisan rancor that he has promised to end in Washington.

He cited a bank bailout tax, closing tax loopholes for firms that ship jobs overseas and a three-year spending freeze on some domestic programs for potential agreement.

"Join with me," he said. "Let's do this together, Republicans and Democrats."

Massa also describes a shouting match he had with Emanuel in the House Gym's shower. Massa said Emanuel confronted him while he (Massa) was "naked as a jaybird" and started screaming at him:

"I am showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me."

"He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive."

Obama Gaffes Caught On Tape

2010-02-17T20:57:00.000-08:00

President Obama's many gaffes don't get much play in the liberal mainstream media so you probably have never seen these unbelievable Obama gaffes before. If President Bush made a gaffe, the mainstream media would put the video on a loop and play it every hour.

As you watch, just imagine if George Bush had made these mistakes. We wouldn't hear the end of it. With President Obama, the lamestream media ignores or hides his mistakes, goofs, and misstatements.

Thanks to ensignbay you get to witness the many unbelievable Obama gaffes the mainstream media didn't want you to see.

63 year old Andrea Mitchell Childishly Mocks Sarah Palin

2010-02-09T12:15:00.000-08:00

63 year old elitist liberal, progressive snob Andrea Mitchell is married to 84 year old Alan Greenspan.

If they had a child, this is what he would look like.

Recently, on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Andrea ridiculed Sarah Palin's use of hand notes during her Tea Party Q and A. Mitchell's childish mocking of the former Alaska Governor is remarkably hypocritical because the uber liberal reporter has remained silent about President Obama's inability to give a good speech without a teleprompter.
