Entering stretch, Obama
campaign running on empty

Washington Examiner, by Byron York

Original Article

Posted By:abuela10, 10/19/2012 8:16:50 AM

President Obama's stump speech Thursday at Veterans Memorial Park in Manchester, N.H., was much like the speeches he's given across battleground states in the last few weeks. Listen to it, and you'll hear the short version of what the president promises to accomplish in a second term. It's not much. "I will not be satisfied until everybody who wants to work hard can find a job," the president told the crowd. To make that happen, he promised to do five things. First, he would "send fewer jobs overseas [and] sell more products overseas."

I looked in vain for the promise to stop the rise of the oceans but I guess it's rolled up in the global warming gig.
I would have expected a better speech from an 8th grader.

I've said it before but Obama is so ensconced in black liberation theology, Rev Wright and his 'community organizing' that he can't connect with normal, thinking ( mostly white) people.

Possibly, "running on fumes" might be more apt, given the stench emanating from the administration--and the empty chair on Obama's right at last night's Al Smith dinner.'

So, he has a 5 point plan now? A change the Change plan? What about Hope?

FTA - "And that's it. "That's my agenda for change," Obama told the crowd. "That's what we need to do. ... That's why I'm running for a second term.""

And get this:

"The president offered no specifics on how he would accomplish any of it."

Its over and Obama knows it. The public has figured out that there is no "there" there.

Spouses divorce each other - the American people are divorcing themselves from this charlatan.

I ponder on what Obama will do after Jan 2012? Hopefully he will go quietly to his multi-million dollar seaside house, in Hawaii, that some donor ponied up for him. There he will keep quiet and live out his life on the taxpayers dole pension. But, I doubt it, the ego that changed the ocean tides, cannot be quenched. Alas, his noise will continue to bother us, like a mosquito trying to get some blood out of our earlobe. Irritating, and nasty.

Sorry, meant to say "Jan 2013"

I have several fears - what he'll do between now and election day, and what he'll do between 11/6 and Inauguration Day. He'll make Slick Willie look like an amateur.

As for his post-presidency, look for Jimmy Carter on steroids.

Agreed #8. And it will be interesting to see who he pardons before leaving town and as racist as this sounds (and is) to see the color mix of those being pardoned. I'm putting my dollars on many more blacks than whites with a few hispanics sprinkled in.

The very young like him because they are more interested in cool and contraception than they are in the economy ("what's that?") and foreign policy ("what's this Benghazi rant all about?"). Many still living at home are interested in a government that gives to them.

Someday they could serve in one of his wars - abroad or even here - and have to pay and pay and pay for his irresponsible economic policies. And compete with a country full of illegals for very few jobs.

But like the kid riding his trike out into the street, they don't see what is ahead.

#8 I think in post presidency, he'll do nothing -- he's very lazy and he really hates Americans anyway.

I do suspect we'll see a blanket pardon for all illegal aliens and possibly an executive order granting them all citizenship.

We may also see many, if not all, people imprisoned for drug offenses pardoned, and you can bet your bottom dollar Mumia Abu Jabal will be pardoned, possibly OJ Simpson as well.

Who needs gas in the tank when the car's been launched off the cliff? Gravity is the only fuel needed then.

Former Weather Underground radical Kathy Boudin — who spent 22 years in prison for an armored-car robbery that killed two cops and a Brinks guard — now holds a prestigious adjunct professorship at Columbia University’s School of Social Work, The Post has learned. Boudin, 69, this year won another academic laurel — being named the Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School, where last month she gave a lecture on “the politics of parole and re-entry.” Boudin’s bounce-back into respectability after her 2003 parole comes to light a week before the release of Robert Redford’s movie

Arianna Huffington partied so hard in her rented Chelsea loft that it looked like a scene from Animal House after a rowdy frat party, according to a new lawsuit. When Huffington departed the 4,400 square foot, seven-story apartment at 227 W. 17th Street in January she´d caused $275,000 in damages ranging from "gouged, stained and otherwise damaged" walls, "scratched, punctured" wood floors, bloodied mattresses and broken appliances, the Manhattan Supreme Court suit charges. "Huffington was using the apartment for large parties and business functions in breach of the sublease and Huffington´s promises," court papers allege.

The Weekly Standard obtained a copy of the program for President Obama’s Easter service at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., and reports a few “highlights” from Rev. Dr. Luis Leon’s sermon: We often want things to go back to the way things used to be, before “work got difficult and faith got confused, and life got more confusing,” but when we dwell on the “if only” of life we forget that “God addresses us in the now.” As Jesus told Mary not to hold on to the past, “You cannot go back.”

Useful Idiots Come Out In Droves

Although the term "useful idiots" was originally attributed to Vladimir Lenin, its origin is undetermined but it is very applicable to the naïve celebrities in Hollywood and the media now mourning the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Much like the devotees of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, these grieving individuals have made no effort to learn the truth about those they lionize. One has to feel some pity for the likes of the Sean Penns, Oliver Stones, Michael Moores, Danny Glovers, and idolaters who naively support malignant despots and causes believing them to be a force for good.

DETROIT — Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was convicted Monday of corruption charges, ensuring a return to prison for a man once among the nation’s youngest big-city leaders. Jurors convicted Kilpatrick of a raft of crimes, including a racketeering conspiracy charge that carries a maximum punishment of 20 years behind bars. He was portrayed during a five-month trial as an unscrupulous politician who took bribes, rigged contracts and lived far beyond his means while in office until fall 2008.

One day last fall, Matt Lauer walked out of his 30 Rock office and took the elevator to the 51st floor to see Steve Burke, the chief executive of NBC Universal. Lauer was feeling down. Week after week, he was getting pummeled by the press for the sinking fortunes of the Today show. The veteran host was being blamed for the messy departure of Ann Curry and the downward ratings spiral of what had been the iconic program in morning television. “If you think the show’s better off without me, let me know,

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race.

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Their attorney, Benjamin Crump, filed that paperwork at the Seminole County Courthouse, a portion of which was made public today. In the five pages of the settlement that were available for public review, the settlement amount had been marked out.

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
