Thanks to our transformational President Deficit McDowngrade…
(Via GWP) The United States dropped in the Global Competitiveness Index ranking for the fourth year in a rowbecause of exploding debt and deficits.
The United States just dropped to seventh place on the World Economic Forum’s newly released Global Competitiveness Index. iStock Analyst reported: (more…)
This is just reflective of something any substantive political watcher already knows; but it is affirming to find supportive evidence nonetheless.
President Obama continually sells the story of his across the aisle outreach as an excuse for why his policies failed. He claims he tried too hard to work with the other side.
This is a regular talking point for the institutional leftists. However, the truth is divergent in the extreme, and Bob Woodward hits on it within his new book “The Price of Politics”.
In an example Woodward shares: (more…)
Michelle Obama just made the biggest mistake of the re-election campaign. Why? Because she just put the “Story of Their Life”, and the narrative of false storytelling, front and center. One Big Mistake, fibber:
Unlike 2008, much investigative journalism and research, including our own -which was almost a thousand hours- has been done into the faux-life story that Michelle and Barack sold to a sheeple electorate in 2007/2008.
I would not invest the time and energy on it, yet again, had she just not made it the primary cause and centerpiece in the re-election effort of her husband. So, well done Michelle, I’ve got a strong feeling the false story is about to be your undoing. It would not be such, if it were not your primary selling point.
This is not birtherism, his birth is not the question. The false story of his life, which Michelle just put front and center once again, IS the story. It is all lies.
(Breitbart)…Rick Klein, Senior Washington Editor of ABC News, just tweeted out this photo of the stage the Democrat convention will be held on. As you can see (below), Klein’s photo reveals the screens that will serve as the television backdrop behind whomever’s speaking — and it looks to me as though the Democrats intend to show an artificial sea of faces in order to make the convention hall look a whole lot fuller than it might be.

Treepers, this is a MUST LISTEN audio. Dinesh D’Souza gave an NPR host named Guy Raz a 32 min. interview, one in which he laid out a most precise and concise deconstruction of the fallacy that is the Obama story. This NPR interviewer exemplifies all that’s biased and over the top with today’s media, and he pulls every trick in the book trying to get under D’Souza’s skin. Nonetheless, D’Souza remains calm and collected, handling him with flawless ease and expertise….most awesome. 😉

President Obama, and more aptly President Obama’s handlers, are formulating the campaign strategy; mixing it up a bit.
The attacks against Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are not gaining the traction they expected. Conversely the critiques against President Obama are striking a central nerve with the electorate. In essence Romney is winning public opinion and President Obama is losing.
So the Alexrod, Plouffe, Jarrett ===> DNC operatives and spinmasters, Wasserman-Schultz, Stephanie Cutter ===> Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, strategy is to deflect back to the personable parent model. President Obama “Daddy”, “Father”, “Husband”, etc. AND the media is all too happy to sell the dopey wonderous Ward Cleaver imagery all over again. (more…)

BERKELEY — When Solyndra filed for bankruptcy last year, thousands of employees were let go, dozens of vendors were left high and dry, hundreds of millions of dollars were lost — and millions of glass tubes were abandoned in a San Jose warehouse.
Now some of those tubes, a signature design element of the company’s cylindrical solar panels, have found a second life as modern art. Yet like so much about Solyndra, they’ve become another flash point in the controversy surrounding the Fremont company.
Oakland architects Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello used 1,368 of the glass tubes to create “SOL Grotto,” an architectural sculpture on display in the lush grounds of the University of California Botanical Garden in Berkeley. The piece is part of a larger exhibit called Natural Discourse, which features work from a multidisciplinary group of artists, writers, architects and researchers. (more…)
During a North Carolina 2008 campaign stop Michelle Obama said:
“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.” – Michelle Obama 2008

If this report is true, and an alliance is formed, two of the three countries needed to restore the Islamic Caliphate will be partnered. The necessary “trinity” is Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Prediction: If radical Islamist elements in Egypt and Iran align they will turn their collaborative efforts toward destabilizing Saudi.
Yemen below them, Bahrain beside them, and Kuwait above them, are all precariously balanced and ready to tip with minimal effort.
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi will attend a summit in Iran later this month, a presidential official said on Saturday, the first such trip for an Egyptian leader since relations with Tehran deteriorated decades ago.
The visit could mark a thaw between the two countries after years of enmity, especially since Egypt signed its 1979 peace treaty with Israel and Iran underwent its Islamic revolution. Under Morsi’s predecessor Hosni Mubarak, Egypt, predominantly Sunni Muslim, sided with Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-dominated Arab states in trying to isolate Shiite-led Iran.
Until now, contacts have been channeled through interest sections, a low-level form of diplomatic representation. In May last year, Egypt, which was ruled by an interim military council, expelled a junior Iranian diplomat on suspicion he tried to set up spy rings in Egypt and the Gulf countries. (more…)
