Did Obama Go Sideways On Four Decades Of Policy?
Aug 1, 2012 Political
Robert Gibbs, the former Obama “Baghdad Bob” has declared Mitt Romney’s trip to Israel an embarrassing disaster. Gibbs, a mouthpiece for the Obama campaign, is trashing Romney’s trip claiming that he was unable to convince people he should be the Commander in Chief.
Gibbs cites Romney’s expression of concern over some aspects of the London Olympics, claims that upset the British officials, as one reason he is not ready for primetime. The Obamabots would have you believe that Romney “struck out playing tee ball.”
The problem with this is that Romney only expressed concerns that the British have been publicly declaring for months. The British newspapers and other media have been talking about the very issues Romney discussed for months. When asked, Romney cited their own concerns and was somehow the bad guy.
Let us not forget that Romney is uniquely qualified to discuss Olympic preparation given his work on the Salt Lake City Olympics. He said nothing that was not already known or that was not already a concern. Even Piers Morgan sided with Romney and Morgan is in no way a right wing supporter.
So that issue has been settled. It was no big deal and Romney caused no international incident.
So on to the next issue. Gibbs cites Romney’s statement that Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel as a major gaffe and shows Romney is not ready for the White House. Here is what Gibbs said about Romney and his comment:
And he criticized the Republican’s declaration that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and should therefore be home to the U.S. embassy. He said that “went sideways” on four decades of American policy, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, that holds the status of Jerusalem, which both Israelis and Palestinians claim as their capital, should be worked out in negotiations. WSJ
So, according to Gibbs the Romney declaration went sideways on four decades of American policy. How dare he declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel? He is a foreign policy disaster. Barack Obama is so talented and in tune that he would never make such a silly gaffe.
Except candidate Obama said the very same thing in 2008. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama went sideways on four decades of American policy by declaring that Jerusalem was the capital of Israel. Here is what the anointed one said in 2008:
Any negotiated agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, he said, “must preserve Israel’s identity as a Jewish state with secure, recognized, defensible borders. And Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided.” CNS News
The Obama campaign backtracked later on but it is important to note that Obama said Jerusalem must REMAIN (remain means that it is currently so and must stay that way) the capital of Israel. He further stated that it must not be divided. He was speaking to a Jewish group and backtracked later when confronted by others. There is a video of him saying it so you Obamabots out there can’t claim he never said it. And just to be sure, NO, you all can’t play games and claim he was taken out of context. He was in context with his remarks about business and he was completely in context with his Jerusalem remarks.
I know that Obama and his people like to say something and then tell everyone that it was never said or taken out of context but the truth is they all lie and try to twist words. Another truth is that many of Obama’s followers are too stupid to actually see it.
In any event, candidate Obama said the EXACT same thing candidate Romney is now saying. Obama was the wonderful messiah and Romney has gone sideways on four decades of American policy.
This is what Baghdad Bob Gibbs would have you believe. The reality is that Romney’s trip was not an embarrassing disaster and the Obama campaign knows it. The campaign is doing everything it can to lie in order to gain traction.
Say Romney insulted the Brits while ignoring the insult Obama levied on them when he took office. He returned a Bust of Churchill thus insulting our ally and then his peeps lied about it. Even the apology is steeped in falsehood.
The reality is that Romney went to other countries and met with people who respect him. He did not bow to other leaders and he did not run around apologizing for America. He demonstrated what a real leader looks like and the Obama folks know this.
They are scared. It shows in their response to Romney’s actions and it shows in their fundraising emails. They are afraid and they are worried that the ruse is up and they will lose.
Even the black community is fracturing with regard to Obama.
I wonder if they are racists for opposing the anointed one…
Stick around and pop the popcorn because the show is going to get interesting.

Obama Responsible For Bain Layoffs
Jul 18, 2012 Political
GST Steele in Kansas City was a company that Bain got involved with and the company eventually went bankrupt. The Obama campaign put out a video in May with a number of former workers discussing the plant closing and they all blamed Mitt Romney for the demise of the company.
Romney left Bain two years before the takeover and closure of the plant. That is undeniable, and it is only disputed by the Obama campaign that is deliberately lying in order to win.
Be that as it may, the ad is misleading and it is obvious that the workers involved are saying what they were told to say. There is no doubt that Bain was involved. They end up lying when they claim Romney was involved in the decisions made.
How does Obama fit into this and why is he responsible? Mitt Romney was not running Bain when this happened a guy named Jonathan Lavine was.
Who is Jonathan Lavine? He is one of Barack Obama’s TOP campaign bundlers. From ABC:
…One of Obama’s top campaign financiers – Jonathan Lavine – is also managing director at Bain, bundling between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, according to estimates released by the Obama campaign. The president has also relied on other leading figures in the private equity sector as hosts for high-dollar fundraisers and as members of his Jobs Council. Gateway Pundit
Wow, an Obama supporter and TOP bundler is the guy who was actually responsible for the demise of GST Steel. Therefore, Obama is responsible.
It has to be so. If Obama can claim that Romney is responsible when he was not in charge and not there then we can certainly make the claim that since an Obama TOP bundler was actually in charge that Barack Obama is responsible.
There is another interesting part of the video that probably goes unnoticed.
The workers claim that Bain came into the company and ran up huge amounts of debt for short term profit but that long term it led to disaster. This is basically what they claim happened and they say it was a bad thing to do (I agree with that part).
Spend a lot of money you don’t have for a short term gain only to incur a lot of future debt that causes huge financial problems.
Sounds like Obama’s Stimulus Plan. In fact, it sounds like the way Democrats run everything. They spend huge sums of money we do not have to get short term gain (usually in support from constituents) which leads to long term financial disaster.
Yet, these people in the video seem to think that Obama is the answer because Romney does not understand the little guy.
Once again, Romney was NOT involved.
Even so, Obama is doing to the country what Jonathan Lavine and Bain did to GST Steel, period.
I guess in the liberal mind Romney is bad for bankrupting a company but Obama is righteous for bankrupting the nation.
Let us not forget that to get to this conclusion they had to invent Romney’s involvement.
Romney was NOT there. The fact checkers have reviewed the documents; the SEC has accepted the documents without initiating any legal action and Bain has confirmed that Romney was not there.
So we know Romney did not really do this. Obama did through his TOP bundler.
We also know that Obama was at the helm during the downfall of the country. There is no doubt about that.
[note]Aren’t you glad they put Sheriff Joe Biden in charge of tracking Stimulus money so it would not be wasted? Half a million dollars of equipment bought with Stimulus money cannot be located.[/note]

No One Is Ever Responsible In Obama’s World
Jul 17, 2012 Political
Recently, Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm) said that the wealthy are not responsible for their own success. His assertion is that, you know, government was involved in some way or the other. Or perhaps, someone working for the wealthy guy helped out. It was not the hard work of the wealthy guy, no that could not possibly be.
While it is certainly true that some folks who have done well have done so because of help, government or otherwise, it is equally true that some who have been unsuccessful have been so because of government or others. But the reality is that most people who are successful are so because they worked hard and invested time and treasure in their business.
In other words, they are responsible for their own success.
I would not expect Obama to understand this because he has never been responsible for anything. He only knows how to take responsibility for the work of other people so to him others could never possibly succeed on their own. Obama has never run a business and has never had to make payroll. It is probably a good thing since his method of running things would bankrupt a business in no time flat.
Let’s look at a few things so we can see how Obama sees things.
Obama is not responsible for the bad economy. That, according to Obama, is Bush’s fault. Ronald Reagan did not spend his first term blaming Jimmy Carter.
Obama has never served in the military but if you listen to him, he was the one who killed Osama bin Laden.
According to Obama, no one makes it through life or succeeds without the government being involved (look at his Life of Julia cartoon). According to Obama, this woman is unable to conduct any phase of her life without the government being involved. In other words, she is not responsible for herself.
This should come as no surprise since liberals NEVER take responsibility. They are all victims of one thing or another. It is not their fault. They are not responsible…
Obama is no different.
Let us assume though, that Obama is correct when he claims the wealthy are not responsible for their own success. Stick with me a minute.
If they are not responsible for their success then they can’t be responsible for their failures (though Obama lives his life that way it is logically inconsistent). If this is the case then Mitt Romney cannot be responsible for his success at Bain Capital.
If he is not, then he cannot be responsible for any failures at Bain. This means that Mitt is not responsible for the outsourcing of jobs. He can’t be because government is the reason for success and by extension, failure (if one were to believe outsourcing is failure).
Obama is a Socialist who believes in the collective. If he were to be in the Star Trek universe he would be (and would encourage others to be) part of the Borg Collective.
It is in his blood. His mom and dad were Communists and those kinds of people formed his life.
Perhaps he loves the collective so much and wants everyone dependent on government because he was a pass around kid. Mom and dad abandoned him and his grandparents (those typical white folks) were left to mop up the mess. He was influenced by Frank Marshall Davis (his real father?) and the rest of the Commies so he believes in the collective.
You know, he was a victim.
To Obama people cannot be successful on their own and they require the gubmint to help them out.
Really? How would he explain how our Founders established this country?
They did it in opposition to government and they were quite successful.
It is up to us to ensure that success remains by getting rid of Obama in November.
Because Obama is right about help in that respect. It will take all of us to be responsible for his defeat…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

The Ultimate Outsource Courtesy Of Obama
Jul 16, 2012 Political
For a few weeks now Barack Obama and his regime have been lying about Mitt Romney’s involvement in Bain Capital. Romney left in 1999 to work on the Salt Lake City Olympics but his name remained on the paperwork filed with the SEC. Romney owned the company and his name was required to be on the paperwork even though he had no active part in running the company.
This is important to the Obama camp, because after 1999 Bain had dealings that involved outsourcing jobs. There is really nothing wrong with companies outsourcing but Obama wants to make a big deal out of it in order to paint Romney as anti American business and unable to lead us back to positive job growth.
Obama must spread these lies and deceive voters because he cannot run on his own record. Obama cannot claim he is a job creator because he has a net loss of jobs. He cannot claim he made things better because the unemployment rate is still above 8%; something he claimed would not happen if we passed his Stimulus.
Romney has success in business and in creating jobs. Obama has never owned or run a business and has never had to make a payroll. He is out of his league when compared to Romney. This is why Obama is playing Chicago politics and engaging in lies as part of a character assassination on Romney.
It helps Obama that his base is not really bright enough to understand that just because the man’s name was on the documents does not mean he had anything to do with running the country.
Obama and his minions are pounding away by continually lying about this issue. Nothing new here, Joe Wilson was right about Obama. He lies…
We are able to see a number of things from this very issue. One is that Obama is engaging in the kind of politics he said he would not. He is also showing that he will lie to get what he wants and that he is worried because he knows Romney is better at actually leading.
It is also telling that Obama and his campaign staff continue to call for openness and transparency from Romney while that campaign has been anything but open and transparent.
Obama has almost all of his personal records sealed. NONE of his college transcripts are public, nor are his passports from his youth. His alleged birth record is not an original and has been deemed a forgery by a number of experts. Even if we were to accept it as real, it took nearly three years for Obama to release it.
The entire issue, besides being about the hypocrisy of transparency from the left, deals with outsourcing jobs.
Barack Obama is responsible for more outsourcing than Romney (since Romney was NOT at Bain when it happened). Obama outsourced NASA.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the entity that put the only people to ever land on the moon, there, has been outsourced because of Barack Obama. In order for American astronauts to get to the International Space Station they have to hitch a ride with the Russians.
Yes, the [former] Soviet Union beat us into space and we worked hard for the next decade to get a man on the moon. We led with the Space Shuttle, our telescopes and all kinds of spacecraft. We were unmatched in the world.
And then Obama came along and took away our superior space program and took away the vehicles that get us into space. We are now at a point where we have to hitch a ride to get there.
This is on top of all the companies Obama bailed out that then moved operations overseas.
The reality here is that Obama is lying. He is lying and has been called out on it by several fact checking web sites. But that has not stopped him because he thinks he has an issue here.
Liberals who will run with this are not smart enough to know it is a lie or they don’t care because the end justifies the means.
I wonder where all those who howled that people keep screaming for Obama to release his records even though he has been thoroughly vetted (a false claim the left makes) are now that Obama is making false claims (proven false) over and over and ignoring the truth in order to win an election.
Romney is acting presidential while Obama is acting like a dictator. He will do what he has to in order to destroy his opposition even if it means lying.
That might be the Chicago Way but most of America sees this for what it is.
Barack, you can run but you cannot hide, you can try to control the narrative but you cannot change history.
You are and have been a complete failure and your liberal methods have not worked.
But keep it up. When this backfires the shockwave will be devastating.
And you will get blown away in the blast.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
From Birthers To Bainers
Jul 13, 2012 Commentary, Political
The Barack Obama for dictator campaign is obsessed with telling a lie over and over in order to paint Mitt Romney as a felon. In fact, the campaign called Romney a felon because the campaign wants people to believe that Mitt Romney did not leave control of Bain Capitol when he says he did.
This lie has been checked by several fact checking organizations and it has been found to be false. This has not mattered to the Obama camp as it continues to put forth completely debunked information as proof positive that Romney lied.
This is coming from the same people who attack birthers because they refuse to stop making claims about Obama’s birth (and natural born citizen status) even though the campaign has released documents to disprove the claim.
Keep in mind that those documents have been shown to be fabrications and not original source documents. Regardless, the campaign says they have released documents and that should be the end of the story.
Hell, the campaign cites the same fact checking sources that have debunked the Romney issue as proof that Obama is natural born and the issue should be dropped.
Why would the campaign continue to spread thoroughly debunked information when it has taken the position it has on Obama’s birth?
It is because the campaign is scared. It has been digging and digging and has not found anything that will harm Romney. Since there is nothing that will damage him the liberals just did what they always do.
They manufactured evidence. They made false claims. They told America a lie, knowing full well it was a lie, and they have doubled down by opposing the findings of fact checking organizations.
This will work with some voters who do not pay attention or lack the intelligence to see the truth. That would be many liberal graduates from the public school system.
The campaign is scared because the messiah, B. Hussein Obama, might not get reelected.
The campaign will have more to worry about if the news reports that Condi Rice is being considered as Romney’s running mate result in her being selected (and accepting) for that job.
Rice is smart, conservative, has lots of foreign policy experience, and has an 80% favorability rating.
If she ends up being the VP nominee Obama and his campaign will have a lot to worry about because she will bring even more energy to an already energized Republican party that is hell bent on getting rid of the Socialist in the White House and replacing him with someone who actually knows how to lead.
So they are afraid, very afraid. They attack Romney with false claims because they have nothing and they know they can’t run on what they have done (they have to run FROM what they have done).
Obama calls for transparency from Romney (even though the publicly available records are being used to perpetuate lies) while Obama continues to keep all his records locked away.
Let us see the college transcripts, all of them and let us see the actual vault copy of the birth certificate.
Obama is spreading the lie that Romney was working for Bain and making the decisions that affected the company while he was simultaneously running the Olympics.
Bain was successful during that time and the Olympic Games were successful.
So, what Obama is saying is that he believes Romney is capable of running a number of things at once and being successful in all of them at the same time.
We know that Romney left Bain and was not running it but that does not negate the fact that Obama thinks he was which, according to Obama, means Mitt Romney is better qualified to lead and bring us to success.
Cave canem!
