Presidential Debate #1: Domestic Policy

The candidates debated at 6pm Pacific, from the University of Denver on Wednesday.

In my opinion, Mr Romney made any number of statements regarding facts that Mr Obama simply did not refute.  Obama obfuscated and changed topic.

Romney: “We know that the path we are taking is not working.”

Bingo.

Mr Romney proved that he has so much more experience than Mr Obama as to be ludicrous.  As governor; as a businessman; as a meeter-of-budgets; as a job creator; as a private business owner; as a manager; as a LEADER.

In this first debate, I would give a serious nudge to Mitt Romney as a winner; Obama stood tall but he fell back on repeated statement with few facts.  Both men withheld themselves.  Obama emphasized he was a fighter for the Middle Class.  But that was a massively hollow argument when his actions prove that he couldn’t quite care less about the Middle Class.  The only thing about “class” Mr Obama understands is that of CLASS WARFARE.

A brief bit of Roaming Through History with presidential debates:

Clinton’s “debate moment” against GHW Bush:

Al Gore, in 2000, tries to physically intimidate George Bush during the debate by violating his personal space:

Here, Obama kicks John McCain to the curb (truly, not too terribly difficult, considering):

I repeat: Romney ahead.  He kept composure and fought with facts.  He came out more aggressively than I suspected he would — and good for him.

Obama, when confronted with actual FACTS — as I insisted Romney do — Mr Obama had little if any cogent retort.  He seemed to be intensely scrutinizing his notes many times, head down.

I repeat: kill Obama with nothing more than FACTS.

Jugular time, Mr Romney.

Obama’s “Other” Race Speech:

Watch video from The Daily Caller (actually from YouTube; DC wouldn’t load):

Text from The Daily Caller:

In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government shortchanged Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism.

“The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.”

The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.

Barack Hussein Obama embraces the “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright, and provides Wright with many kudos.  Here is the real “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright:

There’s nothing that accuses and convicts better than words captured on audio and video.  Nothing reveals PANDERING like TRUTH reveals pandering.  And in consideration of this: Barack Hussein Obama isn’t really “black.”

As Joe Biden said: “articulate and bright and clean.”  For a “black” man.

On the other hand, this isn’t truly anything more than any rational person realizes is immured in the wrinkled cortex of Mr Obama’s confused and contorted brain.

Oh my, Mr Obama.

The fecal material has now splattered upon the spinning blades.  Thanks to you.

Daily Caller: new video reveals the REAL Obama — 9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific

The Daily Caller is promoting a new video which claims to display the true Barack Hussein Obama, and will be revealed at 6pm PDT and 9pm EDT.

Some clips from the video include:

-- 'We don't need to build more highways out in the suburbs. We should be investing in minority-owned businesses, in our neighborhoods'..

-- OBAMA DECLARES HOW POOR PEOPLE: 'Need help with basic skills, how to shop, how to show up for work on time, how to wear the right clothes, how to act appropriately in an office'...

-- DAILY CALLER: 'For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America'...

I plan to be there for the video.

That said — anyone besides me so completely tired of the Race Card being played time and again and again?

Specifically: not the Mexican race card, not the Asian race card, but only the Black race card?

Stay tuned.

Moron Alert: Biden speaks about “raising taxes with tax cuts”

From TheHill.com:

“This is deadly earnest, man. This is deadly earnest,” the vice president said. “How they can justify, how they can justify raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years — how in Lord’s name can they justify raising their taxes with these tax cuts?”

Correct.  Read that again.  Closely.

Yes.  Biden is that stupid.

P.S.
Who, after all, has control over Taxmageddon come January 1st?

 

 

The deaths behind Fast & Furious: Obama and Holder, you OWN THOSE DEATHS

Mr Obama was shocked, absolutely stunned, when Univision didn’t pitch him a series of interview “softballs” two weeks ago.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Once again, however, Obama LIED: “Fast & Furious” did not start under President Bush.  Even ABC News acknowledges this fact.

Then Univision did something worse: it found many more weapons that were linked to Fast & Furious:

The Spanish language television news network Univision unleashed a bombshell investigative report on Operation Fast and Furious Sunday evening, finding that in January 2010 drug cartel hit men slaughtered students with weapons the United States government allowed to flow to them across the Mexican border.

“On January 30, 2010, a commando of at least 20 hit men parked themselves outside a birthday party of high school and college students in Villas de Salvarcar, Ciudad Juarez,” according to a version of the Univision report in English, on the ABC News website.

“Near midnight, the assassins, later identified as hired guns for the Mexican cartel La Linea, broke into a one-story house and opened fire on a gathering of nearly 60 teenagers. Outside, lookouts gunned down a screaming neighbor and several students who had managed to escape. Fourteen young men and women were killed, and 12 more were wounded before the hit men finally fled.”

Citing a Mexican Army document it obtained and published, Univision reported that “[t]hree of the high caliber weapons fired that night in Villas de Salvarcar were linked to a gun tracing operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).”

That operation was Fast and Furious.

The result to date?  Yes: absolutely nobody in the Department of Justice was held accountable. Some lesser administrators were allowed to “resign” quietly or found themselves magically reassigned. Nobody was fired.  Nobody was arrested.

Clearly, Eric Holder has Obama’s “complete confidence” regarding Fast & Furious:

The DOJ already said it won’t prosecute Holder for contempt;

Eric Holder stonewalled handing over Fast & Furious documents;

Obama himself asserted “executive privilege” with regard to the F&F documents;

Holder himself said Fast & Furious doesn’t really mean “Fast & Furious.”

Paul Ryan said on Monday that Eric Holder has to resign and do so immediately.  In fact, Romney said in December of 2011:

“Either Mr. Holder himself should resign, or the president should ask for his resignation or remove him.  It’s unacceptable for him to continue in that position now given the fact that he has misled Congress and entirely botched the investigation of the Fast and Furious program.”

Obama is corrupt.  He is a liar.  He is at once fighting to retain his White House chair and simultaneously disengaged and disinterested in actually LEADING this country.

Trotted out nightly on the DEM/MSM?  Of course not.
