May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Releasing Barry's Secret Past...Good Enough for Romney, Good Enough for Obama


Barry Sotero in College
The Dems and Obama have been pounding Romney to release all his tax records since the beginning of forever. Some stupid establishment RINO's have asked the same. Of course if he did, the rest of the campaign would be Romney defending every line of every return. Romney knows this, though I wonder why he hasn't done the obvious; tell Obama he wants a release of all his college, tax, and travel records which are sealed by the most transparent presidency ever.

Obama had a single mom with no apparent steady income. He gets dropped off at his grandparents who have a nominal middle class income. He gets loaded and hangs out with his "choom" gang. He takes month long vacations by train and stays in hotels. Where'd that money come from? His single part time employed mom? His middle class grandparents? How could they afford such a thing? He comes to live on the Mainland for the first time when he goes to Occidental College. Where'd he get the money for that? In his second year there, he travels to  Indonesia, Hyderabad, India , Karachi, Pakistan and Africa. He wasn't working, he was getting loaded and partying. Where'd he get the money? We want to see this tax returns and travel receipts.

From his world travels he returns to Columbia University. Where'd he get the money for that?

From there he goes to work as a community organizer, reportedly a $12,000 a year job, and even in the 1980's not a livable income. While there, this unknown low end guy meets Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who subsequently has been convicted of fraud and bribery. A couple years in Chicago doing this fake low paying job shaking down local government, he's off to Harvard Law School, very very expensive stuff. How did he pay for that?

Done with that, in 2005 he buys a $1.65 million house in Chicago. Where'd he get money for that? Rezko got him a sweetheart deal. Where's the contracts for that? 

Where'd he get the money to run for the state senate seat? Where'd he get the money to run for the Federal Senate Seat? Where are his purchase contracts? Where are his tax returns for all those years? Where are his grade transcripts for those three colleges? Did he take out student loans? Did he or someone else pay them off? Did someone pay for his education if he didn't take out loans? Where are the papers he wrote? He had to have written some to get the degrees he has.

This is a great summary of Obama's golden effortless path to the Whitehouse.

Not Brought To You By The Re-Elect Obama Press


There were some major stories this week the Re-elect Obama Press neglected to cover. The biggest one not reported by what they tout as their biggest news programs, or news oriented programs, "Good Morning America", "Today" and "CBS This Morning" did not report the House vote to repeal of ObamaCare, and the Democrat's refusing to bring it to a vote in the Senate. On "World News Tonight" and the  CBS Evening News", alleged journalists Diane Sawyer and Scott Pelly, respectively, whined about how horrible it was. Back when I learned journalism, a distinction was made between news and views. Straight up reporting by the pretend pseudo "journalists" would to be just saying, this was the vote, this is how it broke down, who voted yea or nay and why, and what Congressmen and Senators had to say. Period.

What is important to these knuckleheads so far this week is them running with the Democrat talking points that Romney is evil because he's rich, and because he doesn't release his tax returns from the dawn of forever, and why does he have overseas investments, and have money in overseas banks, yada yada yada. What they didn't report is DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has investments in Swiss Banks,  including Julius Baer Group Ltd. and the State Bank of India GDR Ltd. This is from her disclosure forms required by law for politicians. Here's a few more; Fidelity Advisor Overseas Fund, British HSBC Bank, Rakuten (a Japanese shipping business), Hengdeli Holdings (a Hong Kong watch company), Richemont Cie Financiere (a Swiss luxury goods company), Novo Nordisk (a Danish drug company), Volkswagen (German auto company), to name a few. She's demanded Romney release all his financial information for all his adult life, yet refuses to release her own.

The first female ex-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, demands the same. She's invested heavily in an investment firm specializing in Asia investments, ”Matthews International Capital Management LLC". She's made somewhere between one and five $million. It's hard to say because she refuses to release her financial information like she's demanding of Romney.

The re-elect Obama Press has not reported these investments. Real journalists would report what is being said about Romney and his finances, and balance it with this known info, or lack of it, by his Democrat accusers. He's rich, so it must be dirty and illegal. Well, the alleged journalists are Democrats, so don't color us surprised.

There's no such thing as "insourcing"; alleged journalists and their minders in the Democrat Party made it up. That Romney and Bain sent whatever amount of jobs overseas is just not provable. No one can name specifically what companies sent how many jobs to what country and how many people. Obama with tax payer money, the "stimulus package"  and other Obama policies created jobs or sent money to Finland, New Zealand, Indonesia, India, Mexico, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, China, Denmark, South Korea, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy, Russia, Luxembourg, El Salvador, Great Britain, Spain, Japan, and France. Obama calls this "insourcing". Certainly changes the meaning of the word.

At the end of Romney's speech to the NAACP he got a standing O. Not reported. 

Just a couple things not reported in the Re-elect Obama Press this week.

Dire $traits for the Obama Campaign


We're happy to see the Obama campaign both desperate and not getting much money from donations.  Plus his lies and hypocrisy have reached such a level even some in the Re-elect Obama Press have been forced to report it.

It was reported early in the campaign his fundraising was reaching or reached, hard to tell with sloppy reporting, a billion dollars. Turns out Obama is falling way short, despite having about 160 fundraisers, more than all previous five presidents combined. It looks like doing only that and playing golf while the country falls apart around him isn't getting the job done and even non-political citizens are noticing. Here's a reminder from his 2008 campaign. He agreed to use only public financing campaign money running against McCain, but reneged when he saw way more money coming in than he expected. He also accepted illegal foreign donations, which were returned as far as we can tell. He's at it again on his donation website. By turning off the Address Verification System (AVS) anyone can donate. For those not aware, the AVS is the three digit number on the back of your credit card. A couple people donated, as a test, as Adolf Hitler and John Galt, Ayn Rand's protagonist in Atlas Shrugged. The donations were accepted. The same tests were run on Romney's site, and the donations were rejected. The address for John Galt was 1957 Ayn Rand Lane, Galts Gulch, CO 99999, and Hitler's info was Name – Adolph Hitler... Address – 123 Nuremburg Way, Berlin, Germany... Occupation – Dictator... Employer – Nazi Party.

He also said the presidential seal shouldn't be used, this is in 2008, by the sitting president while campaigning. Guess who's using the presidential seal while campaigning this year.

This guy has asked his supporters, instead of giving birthday and wedding gifts to loved ones, give that money to his campaign. Really and truly.

He's already complaining he's going to be outspent by Romney, which when he loses he'll say is the reason. When that happens, the Re-elect Obama Press will need to be reminded he outspent McCain hugely in 2008. Obama raised $779 million.  McCain,raised only $347 million. During his primary against Hillary Clinton Obama raised $237 million, while she raised $229 million. Things are only "fair" if they break his way. Not that he passed legislation with 20 new taxes, legislation more than half the citizens were against, has had the highest unemployment rate of any president for the longest time since FDR, and has attacked freedom of religion and the right to bear arms incessantly. The list is long of things he's done that citizens don't agree with.

Something else that freaked the Dems out, is after the horrid Supreme Court Decision making ObamaCare constitutional, within days Romney's campaign saw $100 million dollars donated.  Small donations from 47,000 donors generated $4 million in just 24 hours.

We must keep donating to Romney, and most importantly vote. Numbers matter. Obama is doing so badly, assuredly a lot of Dems will stay home. When McCain ran, as an indicator, a lot of Republicans stayed home. Let's hope the same principle applies here.

Brief Summation of Mitt Romney's Presidential Proposals


This is a very brief summation of Mitt Romney’s plan, found on his website {Click on "Issues" icon"}. Obama’s website here {Click on "Issues" icon} Not so much on the details on Obama's site, but some feel good stuff and dubious claims. Best of the best here is abolishing Obamacare, cutting spending (with a plan how to do it), opening energy production back up and how to do it, reducing taxes and which ones, and regulations that can be curtailed. Here are some of the details.

On Obamacare: On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Obamacare waivers to all fifty states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible.
In place of Obamacare, he will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens. The federal government’s role will be to help markets work by creating a level playing field for competition. 

On Spending: Bring federal spending below 20 percent of GDP by the end of his first term: Reduced from 24.3 percent last year; in line with the historical trend between 18 and 20 percent, close to the tax revenue generated by the economy when healthy;
Requires spending cuts of approximately $500 billion per year in 2016 assuming robust economic recovery with 4% annual growth, and reversal of Obama-era defense cuts. Pass the House Republican Budget proposal, rolling back President Obama’s government expansion by capping non-security discretionary spending below 2008 levels.

On Taxes: Make permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates
Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains
Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains.
Eliminate the Death Tax
Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
Cut the corporate rate to 25 percent
Strengthen and make permanent the R&D tax credit
Switch to a territorial tax system
Repeal the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)

On Energy:
Establish fixed timetables for all resource development approvals
Create one-stop shop to streamline permitting process for approval of common activities
Implement fast-track procedures for companies with established safety records to conduct pre-approved activities in pre-approved areas
Ensure that environmental laws properly account for cost in regulatory process
Amend Clean Air Act to exclude carbon dioxide from its purview

Streamline NRC processes to ensure that licensing decisions for reactors on or adjacent to approved sites, using approved designs, are complete within two years.
Conduct comprehensive survey of America’s energy reserves
Open America’s energy reserves for development
Expand opportunities for U.S. resource developers to forge partnerships with neighboring countries
Support construction of pipelines to bring Canadian oil to the United States
Prevent overregulation of shale gas development and extraction

On Labor:
Appoint to the NLRB experienced individuals with respect for the rule of law
Amend NLRA to explicitly protect the right of business owners to allocate their capital as they see fit
Reverse executive orders issued by President Obama that tilt the playing field toward organized labor
Amend NLRA to guarantee the secret ballot in every union certification election
Amend NLRA to guarantee that all pre-election campaigns last at least one month
Support states in pursuing Right-to-Work laws
Prohibit the use for political purposes of funds automatically deducted from worker paychecks

On Regulations:
Repeal Obamacare
Repeal Dodd-Frank and replace with streamlined, modern regulatory framework
Amend Sarbanes-Oxley to relieve mid-size companies from onerous requirements
Initiate review and elimination of all Obama-era regulations that unduly burden the economy
Ensure that environmental laws properly account for cost in regulatory process
