Even on vacation they aren't really on vacation. I have no issue with him leaving town every weekend if he wants to. He is in constant communication etc.

Its overblown by both sides trying to make whoever it is look uncaring etc.

Call Uncle Sam

Obama's unhelpful advice

By MJ LEE | 08/18/11 2:09 PM Updated: 08/18/11 4:14 PM

At Wednesday’s town hall in Atkinson, Ill., a local farmer who said he grows corn and soybeans expressed his concerns to President Barack Obama about “more rules and regulations” — including those concerning dust, noise and water runoff — that he heard would negatively affect his business.

The president, on day three of his Midwest bus tour, replied: “If you hear something is happening, but it hasn’t happened, don’t always believe what you hear.”

When the room broke into soft laughter, the president added, “No — and I’m serious about that.”

Saying that “folks in Washington” like to get “all ginned up” about things that aren’t necessarily happening (“Look what’s comin’ down the pipe!”), Obama’s advice was simple: “Contact USDA.”

“Talk to them directly. Find out what it is that you’re concerned about,” Obama told the man. “My suspicion is, a lot of times, they’re going to be able to answer your questions and it will turn out that some of your fears are unfounded.”

Call Uncle Sam. Sensible advice, but perhaps the president has forgotten just how difficult it can be for ordinary citizens to get answers from the government.

Allen West!

By Neal Boortz

Gotta love this guy .. not only because he’s a Leatherneck, but because he isn’t afraid to call it like he sees it.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters was complaining yesterday that Obama’s big black bus isn’t going into any big black neighborhoods. Well --- not exactly her words, but she would like to see Obama pay a bit more attention to black America.
Maxine Waters knows, as Congressman Allen West knows, that Obama doesn’t need to pay attention to the black community. He has the black vote. Period. End of story. No effort needed. It’s there. Count on it.
Now Allen West has said something that I’ve said many times. Of course I get called a raaaaaacist for saying this. West has said that blacks are so comfortable on the Democrat Plantation that they don’t really understand that they are captives. He called himself the Harriet Tubman ready to lead blacks from the plantation to slavery.
In the meantime … Black unemployment is over 16% and not getting lower.

Duh fucking duh... uncertainty in all areas is the problem...

A CEO explains how Obama is killing the economy

By Neal Boortz

Now you just read about Obama’s response to this farmer on impending regulations. I wonder what he would say to this man: Andy Puzder, CEO of CKE Restaurants. This is a man who employs 70,000 Americans at his thousands of restaurants like Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. I want you to take a listen to how a CEO describes the effect of government regulations, the uncertainty of tax increases and ObamaCare on his ability to grow his company and hire more workers. After listening to that, why would ANYONE – from a CEO to a young entrepreneur – want to risk anything with this hack in the White House?

Government regulations aren't a myth

By Neal Boortz

So you’ve got this farmer who busts his buns day in and day out to produce consumables to sell in the free market place. He takes the time out of his work day to show up at a townhall meeting in Atkinson, Illinois to ask Dear Ruler a question on his BlunderBus tour. The farmer stands up and says that he would rather be farming than "filling out forms and permits to do what we like to do." He goes on to express his concern about more government regulations coming down the pipeline and how that will affect his business. Then Barack Obama, who hasn’t sold one durn soybean in the private marketplace or employed one single, solitary farmer – Obama, who has never chopped cotton or risked the fierce pecking of a mad hen to collect an egg -- says to this farmer:

"Here's what I suggest, if you hear something's happening but it hasn't happened, don't always believe what you hear.”

What? That’s his response: Don’t always believe everything you hear? Are you kidding me? It’s no wonder this hack couldn’t create a job if his presidency depended on it .. he doesn’t get it. How many different ways can people tell him that government regulations are hampering our businesses? Get government out of the way! This is what the business community has been telling him since day one. But Obama won’t listen because this doesn’t feed into his “grow government” solution for our economy.

Maybe there’s another reason Obama won’t acknowledge what this farmer had to say. Perhaps Obama’s dismissive language to the farmer was intended to hide his true agenda .. an agenda to destroy America’s free enterprise economy and replace it with the government controlled economy of his dreams.

The fact of the matter is that this farmer has every right to be concerned about more government regulations, and Obama’s record proves that. Don’t believe me, believe the folks at the Heritage Foundation who are keeping track of these burdensome figures …

Here’s what Obama has managed to do so far:

In the first six months of the 2011 fiscal year, 15 major regulations were issued, with annual costs exceeding $5.8 billion and one-time implementation costs approaching $6.5 billion. No major rulemaking actions were taken to reduce regulatory burdens during this period. Overall, the Obama Administration imposed 75 new major regulations from January 2009 to mid-FY 2011, with annual costs of $38 billion.

Here’s what we can expect in the future .. more regulation!

The spring 2011 Unified Agenda (also known as the Semiannual Regulatory Agenda) lists 2,785 rules (proposed and final) in the pipeline. Of those, 144 were classified as “economically significant.” With each of the 144 pending major rules expected to cost at least $100 million annually, they represent at least $14 billion in new burdens each year.

This is an increase of 15.2 percent in the number of economically significant rules in the agenda between spring 2010 and spring 2011.

Just yesterday I told you that employment at federal regulatory agencies has climbed 13% since Obama took office. Meanwhile, private-sector jobs shrank by 5.6%. We’ve got more people working to implement federal regulatory policies than we do at McDonald's, Ford, Disney and Boeing combined. And all Barack Obama can come up with is that we shouldn’t believe everything we hear? Insulting.

Decent articles, puter.

Here's one from RCP that addresses the coming Parry vs. Romney (and to some extent, Bachmann) race. It's written by a guy who is a political scientist first, and not an obvious supporter/detractor of any of them.

Romney vs. Perry: How the Numbers (and the Calendar) Stack Up

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articl ... 10953.html

He concludes:

In short, I think if Perry can unify the Republicans early -- and I believe he can unify them -- he could make short work of the GOP primary process. But over the long haul, the dynamics of the GOP primary that are presently at work will begin to weigh him down. He needs to strike hard early on, or hope his opposition implodes.

• This article was amended on 19 August 2011. The subhead said the report was "for Nasa". This has been corrected.

Never mind that though, just continue shaking your tiny fists in rage.

'Shaking tiny fists' seems to be the new meme. I did not get that memo; I never get the memos.

I almost forgot that Romney says he believes in man made global warming:



This clip will be part of the series of commercials that somebody will run against him, along with Ted Kennedy's hug at the signing of ObamaRomneyCare, and will doom him with the base.

I'm not sure I'll ever warm up to Perry either. He talks more like W than W.

[AlabamAlum]

What he said in that clip was very reasonable.

The choices are as they have always been. A slow agonizing death or a somewhat slower agonizing death ? Either way, we're fucked.
