total distortion of how Raines, Dodd, Barney fag and others created the housing crisis that Bush tried to stop
Housing is 10% of the economy
LOL!
This (Axelrod) was one of the worst performances by any Obama spokesman...ever.
Gregory plays video of Schumer saying the dem’s health care vote will be an asset for dem’s in the November elections. lololol
Axelrod - health care isn’t driving the outcome for these elections - it’s the economy.
The same can be said concerning the O&G industry. I laugh wondering how these leftists could exist without all the rubber and plastic goods they use daily without realizing each contains petroleum. From tennis shows to toothpaste to everything plastic.
Fishtalk has all the skinny on the race and she knows both candidates inside out. I trust her judgment.
Having read what I have I truly believe that Christine O'Donnell is the best and only hope for all conservatives and that we run a huge risk with a Castle win.
It's possible that he might turn rat and only be saving the seat for Beau Biden. We already know how he will vote,either scenario is a disaster for us.
the irony here is that this is actually how Libs think....we just never see it put out there as emotional and crazy as this...once in awhile.
8.”We saved three and a half million jobs”
Go to recovery.gov and you have to add every quarter to come up with a figure even close, I think it’s like 2.5 million, and 90% weren’t in the private sector, saying that was just a con job.
Exactly, not a 100 IQ dem voter to be seen anywhere.
My guess,and its not as good as yours, you are on the scene,is that she will win and it will be close.
11.”We turned the economy around”
And all the folks that once believe that are now going to be hoarding their resources too, wishing they had listened to FreeRepublic.com’s many warning signs...easily predictable.
Rod, thanks for listening to Axelrod and posting his talking points. Great observations and comments by you, as always!
Some of these were the same things that Obama said in his presser on Friday.
Re the Boehnor comment (on F&F earlier, Rove said he questioned why they were attacking Boehnor, since most people didn’t have a clue who he is):
Community of Notions: Why Obama is attacking a congressman hardly anyone has heard of.

Rule No. 13 in Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” is “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Community organizer in chief Barack Obama has been trying to do just that. His target is John Boehner.
Who is John Boehner? You probably know the answer if you read this column, but that puts you in a minority.
SNIP
That means at least 55% of the public doesn’t know or care enough about Boehner to have an opinion—and we’d bet that some portion of the 23% answers “unfavorable” by default when asked their view of any politician.
Boehner is an odd choice of target for Obama for other reasons. Unlike the Senate, the House runs almost entirely on majority rule, which means the minority leader is powerless to obstruct legislation. Since much of the legislation Obama has pushed for is wildly unpopular, the claim that Boehner is an obstructionist is, to most voters, an argument for giving him a majority. And the president of the United States is the most powerful man in the world. He only diminishes himself by engaging in personal attacks against any other politician, perhaps excepting a serious challenger in a re-election campaign.
So why is Obama doing it? A clue can be found in Alinsky’s Rule No. 6: “A good tactic is one that your people enjoy. If your people are not having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”
There’s no question that Obama’s people are having fun:
SNIP
Obama has been losing Middle America, slowly but steadily, almost since the day he took office, in large part because he has taken his cues from a community of notions whose attitude toward Middle America ranges from indulgent condescension to outright hostility.

Thanks for the link....did not know that.
Actually if we control both houses the dems will try and shut down govt. and then blame it on us.
If my business spends $1,000,000 on fixed assets, eventually the business gets to deduct the entire $1,000,000 against taxable income. Normally, that happens over several years. If the Obamanation allows me to expense that entire $1,000,000 in 2011, then my business has no depreciation in 2012, 2013, etc. So my tax bill goes up that year, but over the useful life of the asset the total deduction is $1,000,000.
And if the corporate tax rate is 35% in 2011, and it looks like that tax rate will be 45% in 2012 and forward, now I have a more complicated decision to make, just because the tax policy has affected my decision to buy or not to buy.
And that leads to the last point. If I don't expect my business to increase in 2011, do I buy fixed assets now just to defer income tax, betting that the customers will suddenly show up, or do I wait for customers to show up first?
Bottom line; sounds like a tax policy put together by community organizers and political lawyers.
