I don’t agree with everything he says here but I thought this part was awesome:
It is true that President Obama had a lot of problems not of his own making. But he also came in with one-party rule, and the chance to do everything of his own choosing. The Obama economic agenda failed, not because it was stopped, but because it was passed.
And here is what we got: Prolonged joblessness across the country. Twenty-three million Americans struggling to find work. Family income in decline. Fifteen percent of Americans living in poverty.
The record is so uniformly bad that maybe you’ve noticed something: President Obama himself almost never even uses the word “record,” – that is, except when he’s trying to trade on the record of Bill Clinton. In his convention speech, the President never once said that simple word, “record.”
He didn’t say the word “stimulus,” either, because he wasted $831 billion of borrowed money. At a time of mass unemployment, he didn’t even say “unemployment,” because we’re in the slowest recovery since the Great Depression. And by the way, he didn’t use the word “recovery,” either – never mind that recovery was what all America expected from Barack Obama.
He wants us to forget all of these things, and lately he’s been trying out a new tactic. It’s a classic Barack Obama straw man: If anyone dares to point out the facts of his record, why then, they’re just being negative and pessimistic about the country. The new straw man is people hoping for the decline of America.
These parts were pretty good too:
His whole case these days is basically asking us to forget what he promised four years ago, and focus instead on his new promises. That’s a fast move to get around accountability. He made those ringing promises to get elected.
Without them, he wouldn’t be president. And now he acts as if it is unfair to measure his performance against his own words. But here’s the question: If Barack Obama’s promises weren’t good then, what good are they now?
If we renew the contract, we will get the same deal – with only one difference: In a second term, he will never answer to you again.
Everyone knows that President Obama inherited a bad economy. And four months from now, when Mitt Romney is sworn in as president, he will inherit a bad economy.
But here’s the difference. When a Romney-Ryan administration takes office, we will also take responsibility. Instead of dividing up the wealth, our new president will get America creating wealth again.
But don’t take my word for it. Watch it for yourself.
When possible I try to listen to the candidates directly rather than letting some bloviating gasbag “interpret” what was said.
Damn, I just realized what I literally forgot to do.
I was gonna put “literally” in all my sentences this week.
😆
Stole your idea
Bless their hearts, Fox carried literally the whole literally speech literally live. There’s something about watching it live too. Cspan’s always a good source to go to the video clips, you know they’re not edited (I literally think). Also, loved the Rombo response to the photo op eulogy to the embassy fallen, He shared a personal moment, it was so much better than how I described on the last thread. I described the pride, but not what brought him to that airport.
On another front, Herman Cain is alive and well over at:

Yes our US credit rating went from AA to AA- Was the lovely tribute at Andrews today…..a SQUIRREL ! /snork
Oh, this is too funny. The Dems are suddenly touting a new poll showing that Obama is massively increasing Jewish support. Srsly. Better than 2008 even!
They have become a parody. Watch for more new polls suddenly popping up to show his support is at FOUR THOUSAND PERCENT MORE!!! than 2008!!!!
I don’t see how Jews could vote for Obama?! He totally snubbed Israel, sure the Corporate Media is trying to walk it back and cover up for Obama, as usual, but they have sacrificed all credibility.
Obama tied with Romney in Colorado in Denver Post poll
http://www.denverpost.com/nationalpolitics/ci_21543908/denver-post-presidential-poll-results-coming-at-noon
It is all coming unglued. Why didn’t the Denver Post order a rigged poll like they were supposed to?
The Post wants to keep it interesting 🙂
Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney are the right men for the now. Both know numbers, work hard to find solutions and have honor.
As far a foreign policy, Mitt worked with people from all over the world with big egos and got the job done.
there is a long standing mess to clean up, these two are willing to try to get it cleaned up

there is something seriously wrong with tweety tingles literally
Where have you been? Everything okey-dokey? I worry when people don’t come by.
I am ok. upset just like everyone else on backtrack;s failure in the ME.
I am sick of hearing about the so called movie trailer being the cause of all this. they were warned and did nothing to take any measures to keep our people safe
I know how you feel Helen — I had to make myself turn off the news, computer, etc today & just take a break. It’s all a mixture of disgust, sadness, anger & bewilderment.
I reserve the right to worry about you too.
thank you for the worry
It’s come to this: Tweety says Romney is “arrogant” to run against Obama.
For the love of fuck.
Ham, navy beans, onion, celery, salt, pepper, garlic, chicken broth and a dollop of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce in a crockpot for 8 hrs,
Mmmm-mmmmm-GOOD!
Mmm, send me some.
That does sound really good. Add chicken and carrots and you have cassoulet. I did not know you were a French cook.
My mom went to a funeral yesterday and she took a spiral ham to the reception afterward. She dropped off the leftovers on the way home.
So I had this big ole hambone with some meat attached . . .
Sweet Baby Ray !
Yum! I’m making baked beans, the real kind, slow-cooked in the oven, for my birthday this weekend. It’s the only thing I really want to eat, which is weird, but I’m going with it….
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Erica !!
happy birthday enjoy the day
Reblogged this on Stealth Magnolia and commented:
Keep your eye on the ball , the Paul Ryan Ball 🙂
when it becomes available get the video of Charles Krauthammer on Hannity tonight . He nails it
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has reached “can’t put down” stage so y’all will have to excuse me for a while.
This is the best book I have read in years.
It is pretty good — the original (Swedish version) movie is very good too — I didn’t see the American remake, though.
I loved that book. The next sequel was good. It kind of petered out to “okay” after that though.
http://weaselzippers.us/2012/09/14/dem-congressman-calls-for-allowing-12-million-illegal-immigrants-to-unionize/
there is something in the koolaide.
with everything going on this guy wants illegal immigrants to unionize
He wants part of the dues. The public employees unions are about to shrink drastically when collective bargaining is limited which mean membership falloff. The Democratic parasites need new blood.
Wonderful take on the Obama years in a guest post tonight:

great summary. He must have eaten a poisoned waffle. (Who gave it to him?)
or just drank his own kool-aid.
Charles Krauthammer from this afternoon. there will be another one of him on hannity that should be available later
