THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN & SUCKING GAS ...
"BLESS HIS HEART" -- FURTHER ELABORATION ...
LIFE UNDER COMMUNISM -- A LESSON FOR LIBERALS

Reminder: The day before Barack Obama took office, the average (nationwide) price of gasoline was $1.84 per gallon. Been to the pump lately?

Wonder how many of the women lined up to speak at the Democrats' convention are aware that women working in the White House doing essentially the same jobs as men are paid far less.
Probably do know, but don't care. Important to the convention parrots to keep other women in the dark.

Rasmussen polling, the most reliable based on their record, finds what sane people expected as a result of the stupid remarks by Todd Akin: suddenly he trails the laughable Claire McCaskill by ten points, 48%-38%, for that Missouri Senate seat.

Jay Leno --
"Happy birthday to gold medalist
sprinter Usain Bolt. He turned 26 this week. You know the sad
thing? His world-record time has already been broken by
Republicans running away from Missouri Congressman Todd Akin."

Unsurprisingly, some Republicans are distraught because the Big Media, while gleefully exploiting Congressman Akin's ridiculous "legitimate rape" reference, fail to recall that Bill Clinton was charged with rape by one of his campaign workers, Juanita Broaddrick. Nothing came of it, of course. Presidents DO have clout.
But it still amazes that there are Republicans so insulated from the real world of media that they expect balanced reporting. Of course the Big Media brown-nosers will emphasize any Republican scandal, real or imagined, while minimizing similar or worse behavior by Democrats. Aren't we all used to that by now? They're not reporters, they're propagandists.

If
NBC News were a credible news
operation rather than a leftist propaganda outlet, they
would (even now, four years late) also devote a primetime
"special" to exploring Barack Obama's religious ties as thoroughly
as Mitt Romney's Mormonism."It is free men and women that drive our
economy. Freedom is what makes America work. And
President Obama, bless his heart, has tried
tosubstitute government for free people - and it has not
worked, and it will never work." -- Mitt Romney
Kyle-Anne Shiver elaborates ( in The American Thinker) on the explanation offered here a couple of days ago as to the meaning of "bless his heart"...
"The phrase 'bless your heart' is known throughout the South as the worst, most insulting, most burried-under-sweet-sounding-rhetorical-sugar phrase possible. What we mean, when we say it, is that the object of our pronouncement could not be more the imbecile if he were working hard at the task.
"This person is so completely hopeless that only God can come to his rescue with protective blessings. Otherwise, the poor fool is doomed to be a victim of his never-ending shots at his own two feet.
"But because the insult is delivered in an offhand or sweet-sounding tone, it creates a state of disabling confusion in its victim."

How, for example, might they reconcile his parental history of an Islamic faith and the fact that he was registered in school in Indonesia as a Muslim with his years of attendance at a Chicago black-racist church whose pastor famously said, "God bless America? No, God DAMN America."
But NBC won't be doing that because it is what it is: a sleazy, propaganda organ with no respect for either truth or fairness, and should be seen as such.

The wife of the president who said four years ago that he'd already campaigned in 57 states carries on the family tradition of ignorance. She told a Florida audience they should be sure and vote on November 2nd.
Very good, Michelle -- since the election is on November 6th.
Perhaps she did it deliberately, to distract attention from her husband's spelling of the vital election state that contains the cities of Cleveland and Cincinnati. He spelled it "O-I-H-O."

Think Hillary would be an improvement over Obama? Consider this: The State Department, Hillary's domain, has assembled a report suggesting that the United States abolish its own nuclear arsenal on the grounds that having it motivates nations like Iran to pursue nukes, themselves.
The assumption is that, if we dispose of our weapons, all other nations will be kindly disposed toward us and abandon their own efforts to acquire nukes.

Soviet emigre Svetlana Kunin has a wakeup call for liberal idiots ...
"Too many people think that freedom, opportunity and a variety of choices are ever-present features of life in the U.S. — that fundamental transformation of America will not affect accustomed standards.
"When we lived in the U.S.S.R., locked away from the world, kept from traveling abroad and surrounded by government-controlled sources of information, we couldn't imagine what kind of life people had on the outside. Simple things, like tomatoes in stores in winter, seemed improbable.
"When we immigrated to the U.S., I realized that most of what we were taught about capitalism was false. I was surprised how uninformed and downright clueless Americans were regarding communist ideology and history.
"In the U.S.S.R. Dissidents were imprisoned, condemned to psychiatric facilities and expelled from work. Their families were persecuted. Meantime, enjoying the freedoms of the U.S., (1960s) Weather Underground radicals were calling forces to unite for "the destruction of U.S. imperialism and achieve ... world communism."
"For more than 100 years, old and tired socialist propaganda brought out the worst in societies: envy, hate, intolerance and disrespect for human life, just as these traits have increased in the last four years in the U.S." (Entire article in Investors Business Daily)

For anyone who thinks the big-dogs of labor unions are part of the mythical "99%," some figures excavated by the Washington Times regarding their salaries ...
"AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka – $293,750. National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel – $460,060 Service Employees International Union President Mary Kay Henry – $290,334. American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees President Gerald McEntee – $512,489. International Brotherhood of Teamsters President James P. Hoffa , Jr. – $372,489. American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten – $493,859."
And that's only the beginning. Lavish perks, expense accounts, retirement plans, etc., push their total income far higher.

Not to be tawdry, but really ...
Can anyone look at Britain's Prince Harry and his older brother, William, and possibly believe that Harry really is part of the royal family bloodline?
After the world has seen the pix of Harry skinny-dipping with some babes in Vegas, wonder if the Queen might be prepared to out the rascal?

"There's a referee strike in the NFL right now. They're demanding more money and silly shirts."

Reader Marjie contributes one for the "blonde joke" archives ...
A rich blonde buys a new automatic Jaguar. The car drives perfectly well during the day, but at night, the car just won't move at all. She calls the Jaguar dealership and they send out a technician.
The technician examines the car and finds nothing wrong with it. He asks her, "Ma'amam, are you sure you're using the right gears?"
"Of course I do! You think I'm stupid? Of course I'm using the right gears. I use 'D' during the day and 'N' at night."
"...and now, if you'll excuse me..."
