New York Times Proves Clint Eastwood Correct -- Obama Is Lousy CEO

A New York Times front page story today — New York Times! — might have killed President Obama’s re-election hopes.

The story is called “The Competitor in Chief — Obama Plays To Win, In Politics and Everything Else.” It is devastating.

...it is a deep look into the two outstanding flaws in Obama’s executive leadership:

1. How he vastly overrates his capabilities:

2. How he spends extraordinary amounts of time and energy to compete in — trivialities.

Kantor’s portrait of Obama is stunning. It paints a picture of a CEO who is unfocused and lost.

What do you do? You fire that CEO. Clint Eastwood was right. You let the guy go.

You need someone BETTER to replace him. As there is only one choice, and it is Romney, the best decision is to keep the flawed president we know instead of that horror show.

I guarantee even I could do a better job than Obama. At least you admit your Messiah is flawed. That's the first step to recovery.

It is becoming more and more obvious Obama is prepared to throw Israel under a bus, perhaps the one issue Democrats who are Jewish may consider this and vote Republican. I certainly look forward to Romney making capital out of this as a follow up to his visit to Israel, which is something Obama has failed to do during his entire presidency. No problem bending over double to kiss the King of Saud's ring though.

That's daft and insulting to Jews in the same way the shameless right wingers here are insulting to gay Americans!

The vast majority of Jewish Americans, first of all, are NOT Israel firsters. We are AMERICA FIRSTERS! We do NOT vote only on Israel policy. It's one issue among many. MOST Jewish Americans like most gay Americans are politically LIBERAL. So of course the vast majority of Jewish Americans vote democratic the same way most gay Americans do. It won't be any different this time!

Now IF it was actually true that Obama had thrown Israel under the bus, of course he would lose some Jewish voters. But Obama did NOT do any such thing. That's just right wing propaganda. The right wing party may be more sympathetic to the RIGHT WING government of Israel, but that is not the same thing as being supportive to Israel in general. Most American Jews, who are LIBERAL, are supportive of some pressure on the right wing Israeli government to soften it's more offensive policies, like the illegal settlements on the west bank.

Pro-Israel Language Removed From Democratic Party Platform

2012 DNC platform deletes passages on Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, and Hamas

Several pro-Israel sections of the 2008 Democratic Party platform have been removed from the 2012 platform—on Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, and Hamas. The new platform represents another shift by the Obama Democrats toward the Palestinian position on key issues in the peace process.

As predicted, Israel is being thrown under the bus.

He never was my Messiah. I have always preferred Hillary. This is what you right wingers do. You stereotype all Obama supporters and you paint Obama with an absurdly inaccurate brush. It won't stand. You won't win.

From the people who have lied and lied to try to trick the public into thinking a successful, decent man is some kind of monster, that is pretty ironic. Distort and deceive. Shame on the democrats.

Debbie Wasserman's Schultz gets caught lying yet again while participating in a training session for Jewish Democrats, organized by the Obama campaign a day before the Democratic convention in Charlotte. 4 pinochios.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. fired back at Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Tuesday after she reportedly claimed the diplomat called Republicans’ policies "dangerous" to Israel -- comments the DNC chief says were "misrepresented."

Food-Stamp Use Climbs To Record, Reviving Campaign Issue

By Alan Bjerga - Sep 5, 2012 1:24 AM GMT+0700

Food-stamp use reached a record 46.7 million people in June, the government said, as Democrats prepare to nominate President Barack Obama for a second term with the economy as a chief issue in the campaign.

Participation was up 0.4 percent from May and 3.3 percent higher than a year earlier and has remained greater than 46 million all year as the unemployment rate stayed higher than 8 percent. New jobless numbers will be released Sept. 7.

$16,015,769,788,215.80 - $5.4 trillion added under Obama.

3:59 PM, SEP 4, 2012 • BY DANIEL HALPER

The United States Treasury reports that the total public outstanding debt is: $16,015,769,788,215.80. This is the first time in American history debt has eclipsed the $16 trillion mark.

The debt has increased approximately $5.4 trillion since President Obama took office on January 20, 2009.

"Federal debt at the end of the current fiscal year will stand at $16.2 trillion—$6.2 trillion above where it was 4 years earlier," the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee notes. "In the last 4 years, the debt increased by more than it did in the previous 17 years."

Michelle Obama hit a grand slam of a speech. Compared to Annie Romney's Stepford wife speech. Well, there is no comparison.

Julián Castro who is being spun as the Latino Obama gave a good speech but he's no Obama (or Rubio).

Ann Romney was better and no one cares what Michelle saya about her husband after 4 years. They care about the dismal economy and jobless rate that are his responsibility.

I got a good laugh out of the CNN poll on which was the most effective first lady of the last three...Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush or Michelle Obama.

Guess what?

They announced the result right after Michelle finished her glorification of Barack and SHE WON the poll!!!

Michelle Obama hit a grand slam of a speech.

The closest MO has ever come to a Grand Slam was at Denny's.

Julián Castro who is being spun as the Latino Obama gave a good speech but he's no Obama (or Rubio).

Has anyone else noted that the Dems love politicians with names of our adversaries? First a Hussein, now a Castro.

The Democratic convention begins! Where is FactCheck when you really need them?

Factcheck is probably still busy with the DNC website...

The DNC's Bold Lies

DNC website caught lying about party's civil rights record: Wasserman Schultz, Virginia Senate nominee Kaine involved.

What are the lies?

Lie Number One:

Check the "Our History" section, found here of the DNC's website. See it? The history section -- now written to reflect the history of the Obama administration -- begins with this breathtakingly bold lie:

"For more than 200 years, our party has led the fight for civil rights….."

Lie Number Two:

Then check here to see the DNC's "Issues" section on civil rights. That section begins with a second bold lie. This one:

"Democrats have a long and proud history of defending Civil Rights and expanding opportunity for all Americans."

http://spectator.org/archives/2012/09/04/the-dncs-bold-lies/print

200 years? The article outlines the MANY times the Democrats supported slavery, Jim Crow Laws, lynching, etc. Not to mention the opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from the Dems led by people such as Al Gore's father and the "Conscience of the Senate" and former KKK Kleagle Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia.

It is frustrating sometimes having to deal with non-Americans who have been spoon fed only the Left/liberal side of the story for years and believe all the lies coming from the Democratic Party. Do the Reps lie? Sure, all politicians do. But we hear each and every one of those PLUS all the BS non-lies accusations by the Left. When the Dems lie - and they lie more often because they know they won't be called out on it by the media - you rarely hear about it.

Remember Monica Lewinsky? The media had no interest until some website named the Drudge Report made it impossible to ignore any longer. An unknown at the time blogger scoops the national media?? Or remember during the 2004 Presidential Election the story about Dem VP John Edwards impregnating another woman other than his wife? The media ignored that until they couldn't anymore because a supermarket tabloid got the scoop on the national media. Today, Edwards is trying to stay out of prison for other things.

These are two examples of how the media ignores stories/lies/crimes by the Democrats. You can bet this Dem Convention will break all records for lies, again, because they know they can get away with it.

There were also Jews in Germany who voted for Hitler.

And some Jews in America who still support the Democrats even though they changed their party platform to show more support for the Palestinians.

Then you have this Debbie Wasserman who seems to get caught in one lie after another on a daily basis...

Wasserman Schultz Attacks Paper For Misquoting Exactly What She Said

DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz claims that The Washington Examiner "deliberately" misquoted her when they reported she said Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren stated that Republicans were “dangerous for Israel.”

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/09/04/wasserman_schultz_attacks_paper_for_misquoting_exactly_what_she_said.html

Speaking of Wasserman, she said the other day that no way they would move Obama's speech from the 70,000+ outdoor stadium even if they couldn't fill it or if it rained. Now it is looking more and more like they are moving it inside to a much smaller venue. If it doesn't rain, and they don't move, they'll have to explain all those empty seats. Empty seats which they are trying to fill by busing people in. One problem, however, is that the DNC requires a state-issued gov't ID to enter the convention, and it looks like all that busing will be a waste of time because they can't find enough Dems in the area with ID. Ironic, isn't it?

As predicted, Israel is being thrown under the bus.

The animus between Barack Hussein Obama and Binyamin Netanyahu is without question. It appears the gloves have finally come off though as Gen Martin Dempsey stated the U.S would not be 'complicit' in an Israeli strike on Iran. This is a clear warning that the U.S would not be prepared to back Israel up in such an eventuality in spite of the weasel words of the Potus. Evidently Obama does not want Israel to be complicit in damaging his electoral prospects and wants to stop any Israeli action at all costs.

Looking at this from Netanyahu's perspective should Obama get re-elected he will no doubt continue where he left off in undermining Israel with the luxury of 4 more years in which to do so. Thus if Netanyahu was to attack Iran before November it would become a U.S election issue, which would likely favour the Republicans. Netanyahu has nothing to lose in terms of Israel's relationship with the U.S seeing as it is rapidly becoming history with Carter Obama in charge.

There were also Jews in Germany who voted for Hitler.

And some Jews in America who still support the Democrats even though they changed their party platform to show more support for the Palestinians.

No photo ID to vote but you have to have one to get into the convention center. Ironic, indeed.

Yeah, I've been following the stadium comedy for several days.

The first thing I saw was the Democrats were going to change the name of the "Bank of American Stadium" to "Panther Stadium", even though nobody calls it Panther Stadium.

Then I read where they were giving free tickets away at some bar and free transportation from the bar to the stadium. A bunch of young Republicans were trying to sign up but I don't know what ever happened to that little party.

Then they were going to move it from the 74,000 seat football stadium to a 20,000 seat arena, blaming expected rainfall for the move.

Can't have any empty seats when his holiness speaks.

It is getting funnier and funnier.

Most American Jews like I have stated accurately AD NAUSEUM are liberals and support a two state solution. Self determination for Jews and Palestinians alike. Yes I know this is very hard and may never happen. But that is the sentiment anyway. Again, DUH, most American Jews will be voting Obama this time, the same as the last time. Stop using the Jews for your sick political agenda.

Well then. In respect of the Democrats platform for the middle east due for endorsement Wednesday how do you explain the following changes from 2008;

1) A commitment to make sure Israel retains a qualitative edge in the middle east has been changed to has worked to ensure Israel's qualitative edge in the region. - No commitment to do so in future has been made.

2)The dropping of the affirmation of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

3)The dropping of the wording that Palestinian refugees should be settled in a future Palestinian state, not in Israel.

4) Failure to characterise Hamas as a terrorist group.

P.S Liberals are not usually Marxists, I do hope many do wake up and.

http://www.greanvillepost.com/2012/09/05/good-evening-its-an-honor-to-be-used-as-a-political-prop-by-my-husbands-campaign/

Good evening, everyone. Thank you so much for being here with us. I speak to you tonight as a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and, of course, a proud American.

But most of all, I’m happy to stand before you as a meticulously calculated communication tool whose every action, from the color of my dress down to each wave of my hand, has been premeditated and painstakingly devised by a set of experienced political handlers working to re-elect my husband this November.

Let me pat myself on the back again here. First, I called it that the Liberals would attack Mia Love, the black Republican mayor from Utah who spoke at the convention. Now, even though the Democrats swore nothing would keep them from having their convention at the stadium, now they have decided to move it indoors to a tiny 20,000 seat auditorium. They don't cancel football games for a 20-3-% chance of rain but now Obama is afraid his followers might get wet. LOL

Check it out from the 4:20 mark...

1) I understand Obama not wanting to go up against the NFL. The Wednesday night speaker position is usually the VP but this year they moved him to Thursday just ahead of Obama and let Bill take the "prime spot" on Wednesday. I wonder if anyone told Bill he was going up against the season opener? It's clear though that Obama DID NOT want to be upstaged by Clinton, and he easily would have.

2) Your link: World Competitive rankings slipping to 7th from 5th last year. We had a thread on here not long ago showing how since Obama took over we slipped from #1 to #5. Now it's down 6 spots in just 4 years. Ugh.

So somebody has to win. Which side is going to be more bummed out if they lose?

The democrats backed down on their platform and put Jeruselem and God back into the wording. However, the vote was broadcast all over the world and much of the liberal crown was yelling and screaming and throwing a tantrum that it was being changed. Who says that the democrats do not feel a need to pander to the Jewish vote?
