CNN: Not Only Is Obama’s Plan Old But It Doesn’t Add Up [4:01]
It’s clear President Obama can’t defend his record. That’s why he’s talking about small things, like Big Bird, Binders & Bayonets [1:11]

THE THURSDAY GRUDGE
Posted by Pistol Pete
As the days dwindle down to single digits in advance of Judgment Day,we are seeing a marked increase in intensity,vulgarity,puffery,stupidity and conspiracy. I am convinced there must be some kind of Divine Intervention taking place to prevent the GOP from getting a majority in the Senate.Why else would two experienced politicians like Akin and Mourdock walk blindly into the moral trap they knew the media would set for them?True,they spoke their conscience and stayed true to their faith,but they had to know the press would savage them mercilessly.
Akin refused to drop out of the race and the GOP-e pulled all his funding.Unions are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into McCaskill’s feckless campaign to secure a seat for the least-deserving person in the state.Mourdock spoke the truth,but that mattered not a whit to the media lapdogs who seized on his comments to avoid having to mention the e-mails that proved Obama has been lying about the Benghazi massacre since day one.The most frustrating part is knowing that no one responsible will ever be held to account for it.Maybe a state department flunkie will be offered up for sacrifice,but how many times have we been witness to atrocities perpetrated by this regime that will come to no consequence?They know we wouldn’t dare prosecute any democrat,much less a black one.
Speaking of which,Colin Powell is once again endorsing Obama,proving race trumps all to even semi-black folk.I was going to add a link,but there’s no point to it now.Obozo drew 18,000 to a campaign rally yesterday,in 2008 there were over 100,000 disciples gulping the hopenchange kool-aid.Seems there’s a whole bunch of folk who just aren’t that into the poser anymore.Meanwhile Romney speaks to an overflow crowd at the RedRocks in Colorado.Everything seems to be pointing to a significant Romney victory,so why is the race still supposed to be so close?
There have been reports of problems in the early voting in North Carolina with machines recording votes for Obama when the vote was supposed to be for Romney.This is how Harry Reid turned a 4 point deficit on election day into a 6 point win.The SEIU was ‘maintaining’ the voting machines in Clark County,by far the biggest in the state.It makes you wonder how many dem-run counties and states with crooked SOS’s will overlook the myriad improprieties that will occur. We can protest all we like,they’ll still do it and get away with it by playing the bogus ‘voter disenfranchisement’ card.This may be pure speculation on my part,but we shall see soon enough.

Golden Oldies
I was looking for the Tampa Mayoral Bow graphics I knew I had SOMEWHERE to show GP. It took me ages to locate them, but I stumbled on some gold that is very pertinent again. So here’s the lot. Enjoy!
Ikram Goldman is MOOCH’s stylist.
I don’t recall any Christians rioting about this. Do you?

Conversation with an Obama Supporter
[Saw this at facebook and wanted to share, because “Me” (not Chrissy me) did such an outstanding job of keeping it factual, not personal, and responding with historical data. Obot repeated typical DNC talking points; Me’s response is a model for the rest of us on this.]
Obot: The economy may not be all that great, but Obama stopped the bleeding from the mess that he inherited from Bush. He deserves 4 more years.
Me: Reagan inherited a bigger mess than Obama.
Obot: Obama inherited a depression and Reagan had a depression during his first two years in office.
Me: So you are admitting that Reagan turned around his economy in 2 years; yet Obama has had 4 years. Remember the landslide Reagan victory in 1984? What were those policies that Reagan implemented to cause that economic recovery? Tax Cuts.
Obot: Different times call for different measures. They didn’t work for Bush. Reagan wasn’t fighting 2 wars.
Me: Really? Tax cuts have worked every time they are implemented. During the 60’s with the Kennedy tax cuts; during the 80’s with the Reagan tax cuts and yes, even during the Bush years. Bush inherited a recession and then America got hit with 9/11/01. Our economy was hit with a double whammy. The unemployment under Bush never got as high as the lowest under Obama. In fact, by his own admission tax cuts work; he signed the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts in 2010 and during a Primary debate in 2008.
Charlie Gibson: “When the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased; the government took in more money; and in the 1980’s when the tax was increased to 28%, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all?
Obama: “I would look at raising the Capital Gains tax for purposes of fairness”Obama doesn’t look at taxes as a way to raise funds for the government, he looks at it as means of getting even with the rich.
As far as Reagan not fighting two wars; do you not remember the Cold War and how Reagan was instrumental in the fall of The Berlin Wall and the bankrupting of the U.S.S.R.?
[Conversation ended, because Obot dropped out. One hopes s/he was sufficiently gobsmacked by facts to need a time out to ponder, maybe even go look stuff up and LEARN the TRUTH.]

THE TUESDAY GRUDGE–WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
Posted by Pistol Pete
As I watched the debate last night I was dumbfounded as to why Romney was not blistering Obama on Benghazi,Iran and so many other foreign policy failings.It seemed like he wanted to be his bestest buddy,agreeing on a lot of what Obama was asserting.It was not until later,when numerous pundits offered their opinions and I watched some of the clips that go up on youtube, almost instantly realized what Romney did was pure genius.
Obama came in itching for a fight,wanting to put as much distance as he could between the two of them and labeling Romney as the second coming of George Bush.All he ultimately accomplished was to come across as rude,condescending,ill-tempered and overall a gigantic phallus.As he went through his histrionics,Romney just smiled politely,no doubt thinking:just keep talking,pal,you’re hanging yourself and you don’t even realize it.The far left were hungry for this type of overt aggression,but it could not have played well with more rational people.
Romney managed to steer the debate from foreign policy back to the economy,which is by far the most important consideration for nearly the whole electorate.Still,he did his research and was prepared for any policy question that came up.He came across as calm,rational,intelligent,a far cry from the divisive style of the current occupant of the People’s House.We will know in a short 14 days which path our nation will tread.I’m more optimistic as the time of judgment draws near.

How many synonyms are there for appalling?
The people interviewed in this video are “show up at rallies and buy campaign t-shirts” level Obama supporters. All but two of them had NO IDEA what happened in Benghazi, Libya on 9/11/12.
One person who knew explained it to her friend in a blasé voice. The other said that Obama’s response had showed “real leadership.” Why? Because he “brushed it off his shoulders.”
I don’t even know what to say.
