IT APPEARS AS IF OBAMA IS NOT TAKING GOV. MITT ROMNEY'S JABS LYING DOWN!!!  (AND IT'S NOT EVEN JUNE YET...)  

GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney

Presumptive GOP Presidential nominee, Gov. Mitt Romney, has seemingly decided to take those soft 'mittens' off and take it straight to President Obama mano e mano.  

Realizing that the John McCain "nice-guy-game-plan" was a boondoggle four years ago, Romney ain't making that mistake––taking a page from Robert Greene's "48 Laws of Power" rule book as it relates to his involvement in Bain Capital.  

Recognizing that President Obama's campaign strategy was to use Bain Capital's "blood-sucking-vampire-like" practices as a whipping stick to beat him over the head and discredit him as a greedy capitalist.  Well, that sneaky Mitt, during a recent interview on Fox and Friends, has just turned the tables on that strategy.  

Using similar talking points as he did against Speaker Newt Gingrich, when Gingrich ill-advisedly attacked the free market system––which ultimately derailed his presidential bid––Romney, on the Fox and Friends morning show, all but called the President a "dummy", and inferred that he, and Vice President Joe Biden, were a couple of lazy, financial neophytes. Ouch! 

Here is the exchange:

"There's no question that he's attacking capitalism, in part because I think he doesn't understand how the free economy works," Romney said in an appearance on the Fox TV's Fox & Friends. "He's never had job in the free economy, neither has Vice President Biden. They've spent their lives as either community organizers or member of the political class, and frankly the American people understand that free economy and free enterprise is tough - it's hard work."
 
Romney's remarks are particularly biting when combined with recent comments from the likes of Mayor Corey Booker, former Pennsylvania Governor Rendell, former Tennessee Congressman Harold Ford, Jr., and other Democratic leaders who support capitalism and seem to part with the Obama team's assault on it. 

Painting Romney as a 1%er ... and arousing the 99% in America who represent the "masses" against him in time for a win in November is a tall order for the Obama team.  

Well, oops... using Bain Capital as that vehicle, somehow just got derailed.

Mr. President, I Hate To Say "I Told You So"!!!

[I wish President Obama had read my blog back when]

Repost from Vivian Berryhill's blog December 2008

Dear Mr. President-elect Obama,

Without a doubt, your history making ascension to the highest office in the land has brought, and continues to bring, unexplainable pride to millions of people of color, not just in America... but around the globe. People are rooting for you, as they want you to be a good President.

But on the other hand... there are also millions of others who do not like you, respect you, or want to see you confirmed as the 44th President of these United States. Please understand that for some in that category, it's personal. There are many, who have not accepted your position, and are operating out of fear because there remain 'questions' about your life that have not been thoroughly answered.

I am writing this open letter to you today on behalf of both sides. Mr. President-elect, surely you know that there is a 'tempest in the teapot' brewing regarding the vault version of your birth certificate. And, only you, Sir, can bring closure to this issue.

For months now across bloggersville, and... now the issue is surfacing in main line media outlets as well.  American citizens–– yes, the ones who voted for you... and the ones who did not–– are 'bewildered' that you feel the need to pay money (in the midst of a recession) to three major law firms to make sure that the American people, who you wish to serve, cannot have access to your birth records in Hawaii or your college transcripts. 

Speculation is running rampant that you received aid as a foreign student. So, instead of relishing in your victory, those who supported you are having to confront these allegations daily...without documentation or ammunition to counter the claims.

Americans want to believe you when you say you 'love this country'. However, to allow this birth certificate brouhaha to reach the Supreme Court on December 5, causes many to question your love for the country you want to lead. 

Why would you allow this issue to proceed to the Supreme Court, knowing the national scab has not fully healed from the Bush vs Gore election which was decided at the SCOTUS level? Unfortunately, Mr. President-elect, whichever decision is handed down by the Justices, will not make this issue go away. And, quite frankly, a Constitutional crisis may be imminent... which could further divide an already divided nation.

I know this birth certificate issue may seem trivial to you in the scheme of things: National Security briefings, world threats, picking a cabinet, an economic crisis looming large... but to many of our fellow Americans, 'nothing' is more important than the Constitution of the United States. 

Consequently, you Sir, are the only one who can bring closure to the issue at this juncture.

So, please Mr. Obama... for the sake of all the people who supported and voted for you... and, also to quiet (once, and for all) the skeptics, naysayers, and people who already deem your presidency 'illegitimate', do like Senator John McCain did, and present your birth certificate to the American people today!

Our prayer is that you will do the right thing, put an end to this nonsense... so America can come together and tackle the real issues that face this country!

Oh NO! Gingrich Unleashes Vince Haley As New Campaign Chair

Vince Haley

As usual, the main stream media spends its time parroting presidential aspirant, Speaker Newt Gingrich's, recent announcement to reduce his campaign staff by one-third and narrow his focus on those goals which he hopes will carry him on to the GOP Convention in Tampa in August.  But because many of today's journalists are so lazy and don't know how to go a step further ... they've missed the huge story.

So, here is the big news in this whole transition: who Newt tapped as the new man in charge of the Gingrich 2012 election ship, Vince Haley––who replaces Michael Krull. 

Now believe me, Haley, is a piece of work! 

Best known for his keen ability to "think outside the Washington, D.C. beltway box" and... for not being afraid to verbalize and implement his unconventional–– often radical ideas––Haley, without a doubt was the quiet boots-on-the-ground, mastermind of Gingrich's South Carolina primary win. 

No one in America (including former community organizer, Barack H. Obama, nor Karl Rove of the Bush administration) does grassroots strategising as effectively as Vince Haley. Don't let the youth of Haley fool you... he is a prolific writer and one of the best opposition researchers in politics today.  

His uncanny ability to draft strategic plans that include layers-upon-layers of variables and options, and also his nonchalant style of incorporating matrixes of plans A's and B's within any given strategic plan... makes him a force to be reckoned with.  

Haley has long been considered one of Newt's coveted secret weapons. Cloaked in an unassuming, boy-next-door persona, Vince Haley's behind-the-scenes hardball tactics have disarmed many in the political field... often catching off-guard those who have discounted his abilities. Consequently, by the time it has been realized that he has seized control of the political debate and has forever altered the trajectory of the moment  ... it's too late! 

So... for Gingrich to unleash Haley at this stage of the political process indicates Newt has only just begun to fight.

Indeed, young Haley is one to watch... as he is sure to bring his signature "David & Goliath, hit-'em-and-kill-'em" political game plan that presents meaningful, thought-provoking issues which are sure to have Americans' tongues wagging. He has the skills to take Gingrich's flailing campaign to a whole new level, and finally, he will offer hard-hitting push backs, unlike Senator John McCain's wimpy responses back in 2008, to assure the American public that the truth gets out.  

Nope... Haley will research President Obama's talking points and policies to the 'empth' degree for accuracy and take it straight to the President in a way that won't be pretty!  

*Pop the popcorn. Game.ON!*
