What Was In Pandora’s Box?
Jul 11, 2012 Political
While the title might sound like the name of an adult movie the question involves what is inside the box opened by Democrats when they started making the claim that Romney invested money overseas. The Democrats have been harping on this issue as if Romney has done something illegal, he did not. Couple this with the thoroughly debunked claim that Romney outsourced jobs and it is easy to see that the narrative is designed to lie to people in order to keep Obama in the White House.
Debbie Wuz-a-man Schultz of the DNC had this to say:
So we can see why he’s invested in Swiss bank accounts and accounts in the Cayman Islands. And you know, we also need to know why does — what is the allure of investments out of the country. When he headed up Bain Capital, he was a pioneer in outsourcing and shipped jobs overseas. Real Clear Politics
So here Little Debbie wants us to be upset with Romney because he had money in Swiss banks and other overseas areas. She probably should have looked inward first:
Disclosure forms reveal that Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of Congress from Florida, previously held funds with investments in Swiss banks, foreign drug companies, and the state bank of India. This revelation comes mere days after the Democratic chair attacked presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for holding money in Swiss bank accounts in the past. Weekly Standard
Wow, that is going to hurt.
But wait, there’s more. Looks like Nancy Pelosi had overseas investments as well. She made between 1 and 5 MILLION dollars off her investments.
According to Pelosi’s 2011 financial disclosure statement, the Democratic House Minority Leader received between $1 million and $5 million in partnership income from ”Matthews International Capital Management LLC,” a group that emphasizes that it has a “A Singular Focus on Investing in Asia.” A quick trip to the company website reveals a featured post extolling the virtues of outsourcing. Daily Caller
Wow, not only does Pelosi have her money in an overseas entity it is in a company that is involved in outsourcing…
Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett has a loan through an insurance company that does business in Bermuda.
Does any of this mean much? Not really because as far as we know none of these folks have done anything wrong. They get loans or make investments legally and as far as we know they pay the proper taxes.
BUT, and it is a big but, Romney is not going around accusing the Democrats involved of any wrongdoing. Romney and the Republicans are not putting out these kinds of claims to make it appear as if something fishy is going on.
Before the Democrats decided to engage in this kind of stupidity they should have checked their own circumstances.
The financial disclosures of all these people are publicly available. Perhaps someone should comb through them and start pointing out what kind of investments Democrats have.
Should people point out that Barack Obama made a lot of money from overseas sources through the sale of his books? Would it be fair to suggest that he did something illegal in this regard?
Should someone suggest that something was amiss because Obama received money from the Stockholm Sweden based Nobel Foundation?
Wuz-a-man Schultz further suggested that it would be nice if we had a candidate committed to America. One could make the claim that since she represents the DNC and said we she was lamenting about Obama.
I am sure she was referring to Romney and I would say that if his investments are proof to her and the Democrats that Romney is not committed to America then the foreign sources of income and investments that they have been involved in indicate that they are not committed to this country.
Whatever it takes to win is how Democrats work.
The best thing to do is to throw them out of office.
Obama must go in November and if the people of Florida are smart they will dump Little Debbie as well.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Rahm Wanted Obama’s Undivided Attention
Dec 21, 2008 Political
I have had this suspicion that Rahm Emanuel is a tough guy who uses foul language and rough tactics because he was a ballerina. He was emasculated as a child so he compensates for this by acting tough. The funny thing is, for all his toughness, he has been rather silent about the whole Illinois corruption scandal in which he was a major player.
Rahm Emanuel spoke with Governor Blagojevich regularly on behalf of Barack Obama in order to get Obama’s Senate seat filled with The Sainted One’s chosen successor. Rahm probably did not know that he was being taped (if he did than he is an idiot for talking) because he is reported to have been taped on 21 different occasions. Some have called Emanuel’s relationship with Blagojevich a “just a guy who lives down the street” type but Emanuel’s phone calls are the only ones that Blagojevich routinely took. This is because Rahm held some sway with the governor and the soon to be Chief of Staff wanted to ensure his new boss’s preferred candidate was selected. This might be the external appearance but in reality there is a deeper issue at hand.
Rahm Emanuel wanted Valerie Jarrett to get the Senate seat so that he would not have to share the attention of Barack Obama with her.
That is right, tough guy Rahm Emanuel discussed the Senate seat with Governor Blagojevich a number of times because Rahm wanted to ensure she was out of the way and he would not have to compete for the attention of The Messiah.
This has got to be absolutely pathetic. Barack Obama is no one special. He is average at best and the only talent he possesses is that he is a gifted speaker. He can talk and people become memorized by his words. He is like the Pied Piper in that his words are sweet music to those who lack the ability to think for themselves (or who clamor for attention) so they willingly follow him. His followers ignore all the negatives because he is a sweet talker. Let’s face it, he has accomplished absolutely nothing in his life. He was a drug using kid who hated white people. He became a community organizer (rabble-rouser) and then he ran for office. He won by questionable means and then he ran for the presidency with no experience. He won because of his charisma and ability to talk. Many gifted speakers have been poor leaders (Hitler).
Rahm Emanuel though, is so infatuated with the idea of power and the idea of carrying Obama’s water that he worked hard to get another person out of the way so that he would not have to share the affections attention of The One.
This is playing out like a soap opera. Now that Emanuel has clammed up and Jarrett was appointed to a position in the Obama administration it would appear as if Emanuel will be fighting Jarrett for Obama.
Unless, of course, Emanuel ends up in a federal prison trying to avoid the attention of other men.
