BIDEN GIVES VULGARITY A BAD NAME ...
JOE-THE-JERK'S PARADE OF LIES ...
OBAMA STILL MANIPULATING JOB NUMBERS

Where to begin? Arrogant, asinine, smirking, obnoxious, snide, supercilious, condescending, rude ... Joe Biden's behavior must have led many mothers to wonder, "What kind of upbringing did this jerk have?" Then, of course, there were the lies -- an endless parade of evasion and distortion, notably including the latest administration line blaming the bloody fiasco in Libya on intelligence people when it's established that the people there asked for more security and were refused ... and that Washington was told there was no "anti-video" demonstration going on while the attack was taking place.
     Then there was the bald-faced lie that "the world supports us" on the Iran sanctions. The laughter in Moscow and Beijing must have been near-hysterical.
     Ryan stuck to facts and issues while Biden continually interrupted him.
     Then there was the whopper from Biden about none of the "stimulus" money being wasted or funneled to cronies. Did this fool ever hear of Solyndra? And no, Obama didn't "save" GM; he bought off the auto workers' union then took the company into bankruptcy. Ryan missed a golden opportunity on those points.
     Biden's performance could be summarized thusly: A recitation of dead Obama talking points recycled from 2008 while he mugged like a six-year-old attempting to entertain visiting relatives.
     I doubt that many minds were changed; the dolts who still support this ongoing charade that is the Obama administration will continue to do so. But some undecided voters may have found Biden revolting -- especially if they're aware that he told lie after lie. It's interesting, however, that CNN's instant poll found Ryan to be the winner.
     CNBC's snap poll resulted in a 20-point win for Ryan.

Martha Raddatz of ABC News asked some appropriate questions, but served Team Obama well by allowing Biden's constant interruptions of Ryan -- more than eighty, by one count. Perhaps Ryan should have invited her to his wedding.

Say what??
“Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that.” -- Joe Biden, 2008. Both now DO support it.
... also ...

In 1982, then-Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., voted for the Human Life Federalism Amendment, which contradicted Roe vs Wade. He said at the time that “the right to an abortion is not secured by this Constitution.” So said the man who last night defended unlimited abortion.

If you have trouble explaining to a slow-learning liberal acquaintance why Obama persisted in lying about the Libya murders at our consulate, insisting they were sparked by an obscure anti-Muslim video when everyone who cared already knew it WAS a terror attack, this is it:

It made clear that the Democratic convention boast by Obama and his lemmings that "Al Qaeda is defeated" was utter nonsense ... and that the terrorism that was supposed to be ended by his new approach to relations with the Islamic world was a childish fantasy, unworthy of a sane adult.

A CNS News discovery ...

"In the months leading up to the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, the U.S. Embassy in Libya was seeking to hire two bodyguards with “limited” English language skills at salaries of about $13,000 per year.

"Job descriptions for these openings that the U.S. Embassy in Libya posted online said the State Department would give preference in filling them to qualified U.S. citizens who were family members of U.S. government employees.

The job descriptions explicitly stated that this included the 'same-sex domestic partners' of U.S. government employees."

Clear? The U.S. State Department explicitly advertised for gay employees to be hired at a diplomatic outpost in a Muslim nation in which homosexuality is punishable by death.
We truly do live in a country run by raving lunatics.

PS -- Have you decided on this question? "Susan Rice (Obama's UN ambassador) is either (A) hopelessly stupid or (B) a pathological liar."

First the "official" unemployment numbers take a suspicious, unexplainable drop ... now the government tells us that new unemployment benefit claims are lower -- except that "one big state failed to report." That state is -- SURPRISE! -- California! (A revision in the numbers may be expected; expect it to be another lie to boost Obama.)
How utterly naive or outright stupid would a person have to be in order to accept this transparently bull(bleep) sort of manipulation of numbers?
The country is being run by a cabal of crooks and liars, abetted by corrupt media.

Obama may be playing a dangerous game by trying to make our intelligence people the fall-guys in the Libya scandal that continues to grow as his lies are exposed.
Those intel folk are in the business of finding secrets. They just may have a few that could blow the doors off the Obama campaign if they should be sufficiently annoyed and thus inclined to use them.

Your (Obama) government in action ...
While denying extra security measures and personnel for our diplomatic mission in Libya, the State Department authorized the U.S. embassy in Vienna to buy a $108,000 electric vehicle charging station for the embassy motor pool’s new Chevrolet Volts, the flopmobile produced by Government Motors. Such are Obama's priorities.

Little noticed but highly important: Former UN Ambassador John Bolton is advising Mitt Romney on foreign policy. A total plus.

Jay Nordlinger (National Review Online) suggests a few statements Romney and/or Ryan should make ...
     "President Obama, Vice President Biden, and their allies are always talking about fairness and compassion. There’s nothing fair or compassionate about economic collapse. We are headed for it. We’re broke. We’re $16 trillion in debt. The budget deficit is over a trillion. And they will do nothing about it. They will do absolutely nothing. They will just sit and call us a bunch of plutocrats and ogres.
     "You think economic collapse is fair or compassionate? Ask the Greeks. It’s brutal. It’s miserable. It’s cruel. Men in business suits are pawing through garbage, looking for something to eat. We’ve got to prevent this.
     "Who is willing to do this job, and not just holler about fairness and compassion?"

Memo to Barack Obama, et al ...
"To judge from the history of mankind, we shall be compelled to conclude that the fiery and destructive passions of war reign in the human breast with much more powerful sway than the mild and beneficent sentiments of peace; and that to model our political systems upon speculations of lasting tranquility would be to calculate on the weaker springs of human character." --Alexander Hamilton, 1788

This is what happens when a country's economy collapses. Coca-Cola Hellenic is the biggest company in Greece -- and it is leaving the country. Moving to Switzerland. Those who blithely ignore our own looming catastrophe if the wild-spending crazies aren't ousted would be well advised to take note.

When a member of the Muslim Brotherhood became the head of the government of Egypt, our prevaricating president assured us that the Brotherhood was "moderate."
Perhaps he can explain why the leader of that organization announced yesterday that Muslims must "make jihad" (i.e., war) to take Jerusalem.

A tip worth repeating ...

If you want to see a movie that depicts the career of Barack H. Obama, rent the Peter Sellers movie, "Being There." It illustrates how supposedly rational people can be deluded into believing that simplistic nonsense is actually subtle wisdom.

The European Union is being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This is not a joke.
After all, this idiotic game exhausted its laugh potential when it awarded the prize to our faux president.
