Obama has failed the Black Middle Class

According to an October 7 article in the Chicago Tribune:

In August, the National Urban League's State of Black America 2012 report found that nearly all the economic gains that the black middle class made during the last 30 years have been wiped out by the economic downturn.

Thanks, Mr. President, for helping out the Black middle class. But don’t worry, they won’t abandon you.  The gates are closed on the plantation run by the Democratic Party.

"The median annual household income for blacks declined by 11.1 percent (from $36,567 to $32,498) from June 2009 to June 2012, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data by Sentier Research. The decline for whites was 5.2 percent and for Hispanics 4.1 percent. Both groups started with higher incomes than blacks."

Conservatives, by nature, mind their own business

"If Obama were to show up in a clown suit and flip-flops, the media narrative would be that his unconventional attire was a daring and brilliant move designed to challenge the status quo and to reveal his human side, or possibly a laudable effort to make politics more interesting to children. ... It should be obvious that America will continue its descent into socialism as long as voters are immersed in liberal ideology in our schools and when they tune in to the news. Elections will determine only the speed of that descent. ... Conservatives never even dream of a day when liberal candidates are peppered with questions by conservative reporters on the nightly news, when network anchors hint darkly at the extremism of liberal candidates, or when schoolchildren celebrate the victory of conservative candidates with songs. Perhaps the fundamental reason, then, for America's precarious state is that conservatives, by nature, mind our own business." --columnist Timothy C. Daughtry

Snoop Dogg thinks “Mitt” is a funny name

One of the reasons Snoop Dogg won't vote for Mitt is he thinks he has a strange name (and he's a Mormon), but he will vote for Obama because Michelle has a fat a**. This is how celebrities influence the vote—of Democrats.  I don’t think it works with Republicans.  With friends like Dogg and Madonna, who gets cheers for claiming there's a black Muslim in the White House (the left says it was a joke, but have you heard it?), no wonder Obama is slipping in the polls. Fans hang on to the wisdom and self-love of these folks and may miss the subtleties.

Oh, and here’s another absurdity.  Obama thinks Romney doesn’t have enough experience to be the president.  I guess because he now has 4 years of total failure, and came in as a light weight.

You lie

President Obama, his Axe and his media service are crying "Liar" about Romney’s performance in the debate. Obama’s claimed a different Romney showed up.  Yeah. They sound like a playground fight. He is such a whiny complainer.  Can’t even take responsibility and say, “I blew it; I’ll do better next time.”

Why was it so awful, terrible and disrespectful when Joe Wilson did that to Obama (and he's been proven correct on Obamacare)? He only yelled in one building.  Obama said it to the entire nation.

Some people say Valerie Jarrett is the real president.  If so, he’s fighting like a little girl.

I use a “cult classic”

Merle Norman developed its powder base in 1931. I discovered it about 30 years ago. It’s expensive (but goes a long way since I don’t use much), so I always put it on my Christmas list.

The Democrats’ War against Women

Occasionally, I still see references to the horrors of back alley abortions and the deaths of thousands of women--even saw it in an Obama TV political ad. It's a myth spread by the pro-abortion crowd to get Roe v. Wade passed 40 years ago. They knew it was a lie, but they thought their cause was worth it. (Bernard Nathanson, M.D. Aborting America. Doubleday, 1979, p 193; Marian Faux. Roe v. Wade: The Untold Story of the Landmark Supreme Court Decision That Made Abortion Legal. MacMillan Publishers, 1990.) There is a higher death rate for women in childbirth if there was a previous abortion; there is a higher suicide rate among women who have aborted; the National Cancer Institute has recently reversed itself on the link between breast cancer and abortion, after years of assuring women it wasn't a problem. Oral contraceptives also increase breast cancer. But in any case, abortion is almost 100% fatal for the baby (some survive) over half of which are females, and 40% black. The War against Women is not being waged by the Republican pro-lifers.

Voter intimidation lives in Ohio!

In the pre-Eisenhower era, Democrats kept blacks from the polls with a variety of tricks backed by the federal and state governments. Now they are keeping citizens looking at public registration rolls in Ohio from reporting deceased, out of state, and residence errors to the county board of elections through intimidation. True The Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht released a statement regarding the Ohio Voter Integrity Project's submission of Citizen Challenges, a process outlined in Ohio Election Code by which a registered voter can file an official request with their Board of Elections to review irregular voter registrations.

However, having clean rolls, terrifies the Democrats and even a few county entrenched Republicans, and these citizens, doing what they are legally allowed to do, submit challenges to the board of elections, are being demonized in the press and by people in both parties!

Says, Engelbrecht, "These citizens trusted that their counties would thoughtfully consider their submissions and either grant or deny their findings, as stated in the protocol outlined in Ohio Election Code, which should have resulted in deceased voters being removed, duplicate entries being revised, and incorrect addresses being corrected.

“Many counties did make corrections to their registration records. In some cases, county boards rejected the challenges based on updated information or other internal reasons that were unknown to the citizens at the time of filing. . . their well-intentioned efforts were spun and recast as villainous; their names were splayed across the front pages of their local papers; West Coast reporters showed up on their lawns and stalked them for comment, suddenly they found themselves at the center of a national spectacle. They trusted in the system and were betrayed at every turn.”

Monday Memories—8th grade

This was taken on the steps of the elementary school in Mt. Morris, Illinois, now gone, for the town newspaper, in spring 1953.  I’m about fourth row from the top, second from the left, standing next to Glenn Orr, who apparently hadn’t had his growth spurt yet, and Kay Alter.

Actually, the photo was taken at m sister-in-law’s home.

Can’t imagine how Ohioans can support Obama!

But we do have a lot of citizens who don’t know what powers their lights and air conditioning.

It makes perfect sense, says S.E. Cupp

I get why President Obama’s campaign spokespeople say they are “shocked” by Mitt Romney’s assertion that 47 percent of the electorate see themselves as victims, want handouts and think they are entitled to government money.

I understand why liberals find the comments, made at a secretly filmed, closed-door meeting with big-money donors, offensive. And it’s very clear why the media is seizing on Romney’s words as . . . cue scary music . . . the “end of his campaign.”

But the truth is, Romney stole an Obama tactic — labeling Democratic voters victims — right out from under him.

Bloodmoney—Abortion is all about money

Tonight at 5 p.m. EWTN will show Bloodmoney, a documentary about abortion and Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S. and solid backer of President Obama.

From Business Wire:

Bloodmoney is a Documentary (now available on DVD) that exposes the greed-driven politics of the abortion industry. Despite claims that the pro-abortion movement exists to help women, in reality it is little more than a vast money-making enterprise.

Narrated by Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, this film exposes the truth behind an industry that has harmed untold numbers of people and taken the lives of 50 million innocent children. In the film Dr. King speaks not only from the perspective of a post abortive woman, but as a civil rights leader about the injustice of abortion.

“Bloodmoney brings startling revelation to the forefront of the pro-life battle and exposes the true agenda behind the abortion industry. This film is truly part of the plan to set the captives free,” - Dr. Alveda King, director of African American Outreach, Priests for Life.

The film also features interviews from Carol Everett a former abortion clinic owner, as well as from pro-life leaders such as Frank Pavone, Joe Scheidler and others. This documentary film examines abortion in America, from the inception of Planned Parenthood to Roe v. Wade and the denial of when life begins. The makers also look at the profitability of the abortion clinics that keep this barbaric practice going. Finally, it shows the devastating effects abortion can have on the women that have them, and the continuing fight to save the lives of innocent babies.

The DVD is available online at Bloodmoneyfilm.com and the producers of the film are also licensing public screenings so that the truth behind the abortion industry can be exposed for what it is.

Lyndon Johnson muzzled the voice of the church

The ban on churches participating in the election process has nothing to do with the First Amendment or Jeffersonian principles of separation of church and state.  It is based on a provision in the 1954 tax reform act prohibiting all tax-exempt organizations from supporting or opposing political candidates.  It grew out of Lyndon Johnson’s effort to end McCarthyism and to win reelection to the Senate in 1954 and was specifically directed at right-wing organizations.  Although he was particularly worried about specific organizations that opposed him (they weren’t churches), the way the act was worded caused the muzzling of churches, which up to that time had had freedom to speak out about elections.

Paula’s list of excuses

Paula Priesse has collected a list of excuses for Obama’s failures in the debate.

1) Al Gore – The “altitude” (Coach – “We only lost because game was in Denver”)

2) Left wing blogs – “Cheating Romney looked at hankie” (Jeopardy Winner Scandal – Answers on Kleenex)

3) Obama college supporters in Madison – “Unfair, Obama couldn’t use teleprompter” (Students Strike Over No Cheating Policy)

4) NY Times Charles Blow – Obama just lost on “style” (WA Generals Lose to Globetrotters on Style Points Only)

5) Obama on Friday – Romney in debate was like “Dancing With The Stars” or “Extreme Makeover”

6) Jim Lehrer (I’m adding that one), even though he gave Obama 4 minutes more than Romney some leftists said it was his fault in not controlling the debate more.

Why does the left defend Big Bird—he’s wealthier than Mitt Romney!

Obama was never constitutional law professor, never offered tenure

“According to longtime University of Chicago law professor Richard Epstein, Obama was never actually offered a tenured faculty position. Nor, for that matter, was he ever a “constitutional law professor.”

“I have no idea where Jodi [Kantor] got her story [2008]” about the tenure offer, said Epstein, adding that he immediately wrote Kantor to tell her she was wrong.

“Tenure offers require votes from faculties approved by the provost, and need a scholarly output. He was approached with the possibility of an entry level position without tenure, but it never got to the faculty for want of interest on his side,” Epstein confirmed via email.

Epstein was the law school’s interim dean during 2001. His account contradicts a claim Kantor has repeatedly made, that a tenure offer came from Dean Daniel Fischel.

Another campaign stop in California

Saul Alinsky is considered the founder of modern protest tactics and the father of community organizing. He became the topic of Hillary Clinton’s college thesis, a role model for Barack Obama and a mentor to labor activist Cesar Chavez.  President Obama will go to California to dedicate a memorial to Chavez. This way in one trip he can pump up the Hispanic vote and pander to his far left wing base which lately has been very unhappy with him for  trying to appear “centrist“ for the campaign.
