Obama’s going down in November, and here’s why:

Posted on by

He can’t pack a stadium.

And his team is lying about it: “it’s the weather,” they bleat.

Right.  Here, John Sununu nails things down.

Then there’s the God and Palestine issue.  The original language of which Obama approved.  Putting God and Palestine back into the platform resulted in Demorat “boos.”  Right.  It’s time to “boo” God.  Perfect.

They’re even scrambling for the proverbial “balloon drop.”  How sad indeed.

Frankly, things are just falling apart in the Obama Camp.  It’s like an Our Gang comedy on steroids.

Only with a $16 TRILLION DOLLAR deficit.  A THIRD of which is Mr Obama’s fault and responsibility.

The coming Bob Woodward book isn’t helping things.

Then there’s that troubling Gallup poll with Mr Obama at a 47% disapproval rating.  The LOWEST ever.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, on Mr Obama’s watch: the US continues to slip down the rankings of global competition.

Thanks, Barry.

I submit this to you sir: you have NO idea how you’re about to be slammed in November.

Bain Capital: so bad that Demorats and public unions invest with them

Posted on by

Imagine that there are public sector unions placing their cash — now — with Bain Capital:

* Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund ($2.2 million)
* Indiana Public Retirement System ($39.3 million)
* Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System ($177.1 million)
* The Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension System ($19.5 million)
* Maryland State Retirement and Pension System ($117.5 million)
* Public Employees’ Retirement System of Nevada ($20.3 million)
* State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio ($767.3 million)
* Pennsylvania State Employees’ Retirement System ($231.5 million)
* Employees’ Retirement System of Rhode Island ($25 million)
* San Diego County Employees Retirement Association ($23.5 million)
* Teacher Retirement System of Texas ($122.5 million)
* Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System ($15 million)

Imagine that leading universities have also profited from Bain’s expertise. According to “Infrastructure Investor,” Bain Capital Ventures Fund I (launched in 2001) managed wealth for “endowments and foundations such as Columbia, Princeton and Yale universities.”

Imagine that according to BuyOuts magazine and S&P Capital IQ, Bain’s other college clients have included Cornell, Emory, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Notre Dame and the University of Pittsburgh. Preqin reports that the following schools have placed at least $424.6 million with Bain Capital between 1998 and 2008:

* Purdue University ($15.9 million)
* University of California ($225.7 million)
* University of Michigan ($130 million)
* University of Virginia ($20 million)
* University of Washington ($33 million)

Imagine that here’s where the provincial capital funds meet the road:

“The scrutiny generated by a heated election year matters less than the performance the portfolio generates to the fund,” California State Teachers’ Retirement System spokesman Ricardo Duran said in the Aug. 12 Boston Globe. CalSTRS has pumped some $1.25 billion into Bain.

Major, center-left foundations and cultural establishments also have seen their prospects brighten, thanks to Bain Capital. According to the aforementioned sources, such Bain clients have included the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Doris Duke Foundation, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Ford Foundation, the Heinz Endowments and the Oprah Winfrey Foundation.

And yet, Bain Capital is the Source of All Evil — ??

Unless, of course, you’re making profits from Bain Capital.

Fact-check my information here, from the New York Post.

Actor Michael Clarke Duncan dead at 54

Posted on by

I have to say: I enjoyed his work.

He reminded me, at times, of a Ving Rhames on steroids.

Michael Clarke Duncan’s quintessential role was that of death row convict John Coffey in The Green Mile (1999).

Though he was truly 6’5″ in height, the movie was shot in such a way as to make him literally tower over ever other person around him by at least one foot — as to suggest a person at least 7′ tall.  Actor David Morse, for example, as “Brutus Howell,” is already 6’4″.  Duncan’s scenes were all about perspective and angle and height accessories.

I enjoyed his roles, his deep voice.  He was a class act.

He suffered a heart attack on July 13th of this year.

From Wikipedia:

On July 13, 2012, Duncan was sent to the hospital after suffering from a heart attack.[17] It was reported that his girlfriend, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, potentially saved his life by performing CPR before he was transported to the hospital.[18]

Duncan’s publicist Joy Fehily said in a statement on August 6, 2012 that he was moved from the intensive care unit but remained hospitalized following his July 13 heart attack.[19]

On September 3, 2012, a publicist quoted Manigault as saying that Duncan had died that morning in Los Angeles at the age of 54. “The Oscar-nominated actor suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered,” publicist Joy Fehily said, adding that celebrations of Duncan’s life would be announced at a later date.[1][20] The statement also for the first time described Manigault as Duncan’s fiancée.

I enjoyed your work, sir.  Requiat en pace.

More truth about Barack Hussein Obama: “Dreams From My Real Father”

Posted on by

First, please attend Dinesh D’souza’s new film, 2016.

Then watch this video in re Dreams From My Real Father — a different DVD already produced.

THE JOURNALIST’S CREED:

I believe in the profession of Journalism.
I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of responsibility, trustees for the public; that all acceptance of lesser service than the public service is a betrayal of this trust.
I believe that clear thinking, clear statement, accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism.
I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true.
I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible.
I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by one’s own pocket book is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another’s instructions or another’s dividends.
I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.
I believe that the journalism which succeeds the best-and best deserves success-fears God and honors man; is stoutly independent; unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power; constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid, is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of the privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance, and as far as law, an honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely promoting international good will and cementing world-comradeship, is a journalism of humanity, of and for today’s world.

J’ACCUSE, American “Journalistas.”  You DEM/MSM‘ers.  You members of the Defeatist Elitist Media / MainStream Media.  You Ignorers of Reality.

I ask YOU, my dearest readers, to digest the above creed and then posit: are there really any true journalists remaining in the continental United States?
