Reaganomics vs. Obamanomics

Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama each entered the White House during a bad economy. Obama often says he inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression. This is wrong. The economy Reagan inherited from Jimmy Carter was worse.

I will NOT be holding my nose in November

In 2008, I voted against Obama and for Palin. But this fall, I will be not just voting against Obama, but also for Romney.

Obama’s Failed Investments: Warnings and Red Flags [1:11]

Obama’s taxpayer-funded investments failed, and thousands of workers lost their jobs. Obama has yet to take responsibility.

The Promise of America [2:30]

Americans love America and are tired of weak leadership.

Stimulus created jobs abroad

My church taught me to give only from the overflow of what God gave me. In my pastor’s words, “Don’t trample on your own family’s needs to rush off and do good deeds for some other family.” And the example he gave was graphic: “Don’t dump PB&J on your own family’s dinner plates so you can take a hot chicken dinner to some other family.”

I think this lesson applies here.

Preacher Obama wants an Amen

The White House tried to claim that Michelle Obama was referring to the Wizard of Oz, not Jesus, when she said,

“This President has brought us out of the dark and into the light.”

Suuuuuuuuuuuure she was. Check this out …

April 24, 2012: Obama asks students at UNC for an “Amen” [1:21]

Note how he wants an Amen for how awful it is that the average college graduate has about $25,000 in student loans.

But he has nothing to say about how his economic policies have depressed the job market so drastically that 50% of those graduates can’t find jobs.

Democrat Civility

More of that “new tone” we were promised …

Liberal Bob Beckel Loses It: Screams “You Don’t Know What the F*ck You’re Talking About” on Hannity [:24]

So classy how he flatly refuses to apologize for dropping the F bomb on television.

New Tone… Democrat Tamara Holder Says Mitt Romney Is ‘Borderline Brain-Dead’ [1:18]

Democrat strategist Tamara Holder cannot produce ONE THING that has improved under Obama. Rather than honestly answer Hannity’s question or respond to any of the facts he cites, she goes off on a rant about how Mitt Romney is “borderline brain-dead.”  TIP: After you listen to the clip, turn the sound off and play it again so you can just watch Malkin’s face … esp at 1:10. ::snort::

Michelle Malkin’s Advice to Mitt Romney: “Quit Calling Obama ‘A Nice Man’ …He’s Not”

Michelle gets to respond to the above. Note how she kept quiet during Tamara’s rant, but Tamara cannot bring herself to give Michelle the same courtesy. AFTER Hannity insists she shut her pie hole, Michelle goes on her own rant and it’s a doozy.

Longest, slowest recovery since the Great Depression

And might I also point out that the longest, slowest recovery ever — the Great Depression — was ALSO overseen by Democrats?

•Use of Air Force Two comes in at $149,900 for the round trip, not including time on the ground.

LATEST POLL SHOWS OBAMA MORE UNPOPULAR THAN GEORGE W. BUSH

This is from the leftist PPP poll;it only took three years.
They dumped raw sewage on W for eight solid years to get his approval this low.
They sprinkle fairy dust on this dictator-wannabe.
