The best part is that you can hear him knocking the Chicago Public School system… which he criticizes and then would throw money at via Ayers and the Woods Foundation. Apparently high hopes, leftist dreams, and all the good feeling in the world can’t fix a dysfunctional government system.

Which is why Rahmbo can go after the CPS and not fear Obama stabbing him in the back over it. That and the money just plain running out, of course. Once at the edge of the bottomless pit even a leftist can have qualms about stepping out into the void they have helped to create. But its a lot easier to dig in your heels when you aren’t being pushed from behind to jump.

IIRC, during the last campaign Mooch talked about some people giving up their piece of the pie so others could have more. Both of them are rabid redistributionists.

See, right there is the problem with the Obamas. Neither one of them understands our economic system–they think it is a zero-sum game, and if the rich prosper it simply has to be at the expense of the poor.

Romney wants to grow the pie. He knows that the competition of a healthy capitalist system provides more for everyone.

I don’t care whether he states it elegantly or inelegantly, Mitt has got to drive home that message. A rising tide really does lift all boats.

And redistribution will just end up drowning all of us.

I’ve noticed something VERY disturbing about this video. No, it ‘s not the content – it’s that when I viewed it when Drudge first posted it, it
had 313 views on YouTube, and just as of this moment at 9:00pm CST (HOURS later)it STILL has only 313 views!!!! However, it has almost 2,300 thumbs up and almost 1,060 thumbs down. HOW IN THE HECK CAN THIS BE????

I mean, I know Google/YouTube are in O’s pocket, but why is nobody calling them on this? This is OBSCENE!

Wren – Thank you for that link. Without doubt there is a better format for printing these. Bottom line – inexpensive, effective material (facts) that anyone can understand. ;)

Every president campaigns, but this is absurd. Recently in an interview he said he would be doing a lot of campaigning in a second term…. I guess he likes flying around on AF1, running his mouth, avoiding real work and getting away from MO.

Let’s make sure he doesn’t get the chance!

I noticed that he shows up for the PDB maybe once a week. Even with haircuts on AF-1, Monica, and rambling on for an hour about nothing every time he saw a mike, Clinton managed to show up more often than that. What does he do all day? A year or so ago, there was a report he sat in front of the TV all day watching sports. I considered the report dubious. With these schedules, I'm now inclined to believe it. No wonder The One wants to deep-six the work requirement for welfare. He hasn't got a "work ethic" himself. On the plus side, if he was even half as industrious as, say, Trotsky, we'd be in even deeper schiesse than we are now. clear ether eon
