July 6, 2012 10:00 P.M. Obama’s Goose Is Cooked He got another rubber chicken for jobs. Bring on Romney’s filet mignon. By Larry Kudlow Obama needed a filet mignon in the June employment report. Instead he got a rubber chicken. Only 80,000 new jobs were created last month, way below Wall Street expectations. It’s the fourth consecutive monthly disappointment. For a few months last winter, jobs were rising at an average of 225,000 a month. But that has sloped way down to only 75,000. The unemployment rate continues at 8.2 percent, which is the forty-first straight month above 8 percent. The U6 unemployment rate, which includes discouraged workers, is just under 15 percent. As voters finalize their election impressions this summer, all of this is bad news for the Chicago incumbent. At a campaign stop in Ohio on Friday, Obama actually said we’re still “heading in the right direction.” Is he kidding? As a stagnant GDP drops below 2 percent, employment falters, retail sales decline, and the ISM index for manufacturing drops below 50 (signaling contraction)? No objective observer can deny that the economy is headed in the wrong direction. I don’t like playing the pessimist, but the numbers are the numbers. This is exactly what former Clinton advisers James Carville, Doug Schoen, and Stanley Greenberg have been warning Obama about. People just don’t believe the economy is getting better. So he’s gotta change his message....snipped http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/304935/obama-s-goose-cooked-larry-kudlow |

The Little Blue Book: Quotations from Chairman Lakoff http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2012/07/09/the-little-blue-book-quotations-from-chairman-lakoff/ The Little Blue Book: The Essential Guide to Thinking and Talking Democratic, by George Lakoff and Elisabeth Wehling George Lakoff, Professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at U.C. Berkeley — and highly regarded Democratic tactician — has just released his playbook for the 2012 election. Titled The Little Blue Book: The Essential Guide to Thinking and Talking Democratic, it purports to be the ultimate insiders’ guide to liberal messaging and left-wing ideology. Before you even open the book, its sly self-referential gamesmanship leaps off the cover: the very title itself is a wink-wink-nudge-nudge ironic-but-not-really reference to Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book, the kind of hidden-meaning secret message that progressives like to call a “dog whistle,” although they insist that only conservatives resort to such underhanded gambits. snip Linked from PJ Media |

Hill Poll: Majority believe Obama has changed country for worse Two-thirds of likely voters say President Obama has kept his 2008 campaign promise to change America — but it’s changed for the worse, according to a sizable majority. A new poll for The Hill found 56 percent of likely voters believe Obama’s first term has transformed the nation in a negative way, compared to 35 percent who believe the country has changed for the better under his leadership. The results signal broad voter unease with the direction the nation has taken under Obama’s leadership and present a major challenge for the incumbent Democrat as he seeks reelection this fall....snipped http://thehill.com/polls/236627-hill-poll-majority-feel-obama-has-changed-country-for-worse |

http://www.wral.com/business/story/11295260/ New law gives US companies a break on pensions Posted: 1:32 p.m. today Updated: 2:32 p.m. today WASHINGTON — A new law will let companies contribute billions of dollars less to their workers' pension funds, raising concerns about weakening the plans that millions of Americans count on for retirement. But with many companies already freezing or getting rid of pension plans, many critics are reluctant to force the issue. Some expect the changes, passed by Congress last month and signed Friday by President Barack Obama, to have little impact on the nation's enormous $1.9 trillion in estimated pension fund assets. And it is more important, they suggest, to avoid giving employers a new reason to limit or jettison remaining pension benefits by forcing them to contribute more than they say they can manage. The equation underscores a harsh reality for unions, consumer advocates and others who normally go to the mat for workers and retirees: When it comes to battling over pensions, the fragile economy of 2012 gives the business community a lot of leverage. snip.... |

Obamacare is the biggest tax hike EVER, and the middle class are the victims of those tax hikes. Now Barry puts window dressing out with a ONE YEAR plan to keep the middle class taxes from rising? A SINGLE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The certainty here is looking obvious to any that can add 2+2; his source for redistribution will reduce the "middle class" standard of living.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=duflrDyp9ok Published on Jul 10, 2012 by TheMessageIsVideos http://themessageis.com/advice-for-mitt-romneys-naacp-speech/ A satirical video short that lacerates Mitt Romney and his advisors as they prepare for his speech to the NAACP convention in Houston on Wednesday, July 11, 2012. This is the first original production by The Message, a new progressive online media hub. From 2nd link: The Message About Us We are excited to announce the launch of The Message, a new website that will identify, produce and distribute video that promotes progressive issues. We have grown increasingly frustrated with the failure of the Democratic Party and, by extension, the progressive community to effectively communicate their viewpoint to a broader audience. We want to change that. During the entire 2010 Congressional campaign, no prominent Democrat highlighted the recovery of the auto industry, for fear of being perceived as a proponent of “big government.” After the Gabby Giffords and Trayvon Martin shootings, there was barely a peep in Congress about our lax gun laws. We want The Message to galvanize and energize Democrats and progressives to actively pursue their agenda. The Message is a place for user-generated, celebrity and curated video on the social, political and cultural topics of the day. We will showcase the most compelling and kinetic progressive videos and work to expand their reach and amplify their volume. Our goal is to mold the political, social and cultural debate for the 2012 election and beyond. Content on The Message will span a wide spectrum — from provocative and controversial to light-hearted and irreverent. We are actively partnering with activists, artists, film makers and organizations to create video. We’re awarding two $1,000 prizes to the people who submit the best original video productions and two $500 prizes for the best webcam videos. In addition, we want to populate The Message with great stuff that’s already out there, but needs broader distribution. If you know of existing content that deserves attention or want to create new material, we’d love to see it! Outrage, music, drama or parody is all welcome. Submit a video now. Let’s stop the right wing from taking over the country and give progress a chance. ********************** So "The Message" about Progress is criticism of the right? |
