Can MSNBC's Chris Matthews make himself any more of a laughing stock? He's having fantasies that if he were Obama he'd "marry" Bill Clinton!
One has to wonder why people like Matthews have any credibility at all, with such obvious hero worship they engage in for Democrat leaders. As Matthews sits gushing like a schoolgirl, moon-eyed over a crush on political leaders, one has to wonder how his "analysis" could be possibly taken seriously by anyone. Remember back when he said he gets a 'tingle' in his leg over Obama?
Matthews and his fellow MSNBCers simply have no credibility whatsoever. No wonder NBC is trying so desperately to distance itself from its cable cousin.

THE LIAR-IN-CHIEF TRIES TO FOOL US AGAIN WITH HIS BULLSQUEEZE
Obama told Black Enterprise magazine in an interview published last week: "we are digging ourselves out of a deep hole." But Obama's claim of creating 4.5 million jobs that he reiterated again on Thursday is simply wrong. Not only do we have fewer jobs in the U.S. today than when Obama first became president, nothing has been done for the 8 million additional working age people. By anyone's definition, this is not a "recovery."

What kind of person is Mitt Romney ?
Sometimes, this facet of Romney's personality isn't so
subtle. In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain
Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York City and
gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea
where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and
asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay's
daughter.
Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York, and asked them to help find his friend's missing daughter. Romney's accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could, prostitutes, drug addicts, anyone.
That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, ateenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey,where they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day.
Romney's former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter's life, saying, "It was the most amazing thing, and I'll never forget this to the day I die."
So, here's my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can't help himself. He sees a problem, and his mind immediately sets to work solving it, sometimes consciously, and sometimes not-so-consciously. He doesn't do it for self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain.
He does it because that's just how he's wired. Here are more examples:
Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked by his old employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company asCEO to rescue the firm from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at Bain & Company for an annual salary of one dollar. WhenRomney went to the rescue of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary for three years, and wouldn't use an expense account.
He also accepted no salary as Governor of Massachusetts.
Character counts!!

CAN ERIC HOLDER PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO BRIAN TERRY'S FAMILY?
Fast & Furious Official Also Employed in Private Sector
ATF’s former Deputy Assistant Director for Field Operations, William McMahon, has been found double dipping his chip into the salsa. The man who had a significant role in Operation Fast & Furious is still fully employed by the ATF, while at the same time fully employed as
Executive Director of the Global Security and Investigations Group at J.P. Morgan in the Philippines.
The government allowed guns to walk into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels in Operation Fast & Furious. It is tied to the murders of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, 300+ Mexican citizens, and more than 1,000 guns are still missing. No one has been held accountable. Those connected to the operation have either been allowed to resign quietly or reassigned to a different position, like Mr. McMahon.
Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and Ranking Member Charles Grassley sent a letter to Acting ATF Director B. Todd Jones for some clarification on “this unusual arrangement.” Chairman Issa and Senator Grassley express their dissatisfaction that Mr. McMahon was allowed to stay at the ATF considering his role in Fast & Furious. They wrote:
“Despite these failings, ATF not only continues to keep him on its payroll, but also authorized him to take several months of annual leave while earning a six-figure salary from ATF and an even larger salary at the same time while working in the private sector.”
Under personnel regulations, the ATF management was under no obligation to approve McMahon's additional employment. Chairman Issa and Senator Grassley point out this approval “raises a host of questions about both the propriety of the arrangement and the judgment of ATF management.”
Unlike the whistleblowers of Fast & Furious, the ATF is protecting one of the men involved in the scandal. This arrangement also allows Mr. McMahon “to reach retirement eligibility while on extended leave for four to five months and simultaneously begin a second career before separating from government employment” and they did this before the Inspector General finished his report on Fast & Furious. Special Agent John Dodson, the first whistleblower, was told “he must wait until the Inspector General’s report is complete before the agency will even consider his simple request for a statement retracting the false statements made about him by agency leadership.”
The man who blew the lid on a very dangerous program has to wait until the Inspector General’s report is finished just to get the ATF to retract damaging statements against him, but the man who had a significant role in the program is lavished with money and job security.
Luckily for Agent Dodson, the IG report was distributed to the ATF and Department of Justice after a long 20 months. Hopefully he can get those statements retracted soon.

FINALLY! An Obama College Classmate Speaks Up.
Excerpt from an article by Obama classmate, Wayne Allyn Root, on August 9, 2012
How did Barry Soetoro (Obummer) pay for all his fancy schools? If he had student loans or scholarships, don’t American students need good grades to maintain student loans? I can only think of one answer…
So here’s my gut. I believe Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. That’s a fact. His mother made him an Indonesian citizen. But… did his mother ever bother to change him back to a U.S. citizen? I’m betting not. He was abandoned by his mother and sent back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents. No one was paying much attention to young Obama, so his citizenship was never changed back. But suddenly as he nears college-age and starts thinking of how to get into college with lousy grades and no money… Obama learns that foreign students have a much easier path being admitted to U.S. universities. And even more amazingly, they get loads of aid and scholarships to attend college for free – something unavailable to U.S. citizens. It’s a completely different path – a path so easy that even a kid with no father… no mother to be found… no money… and lousy grades can get admitted to the best colleges… as a poor foreigner with an exotic background.
So a plan is hatched. Obama uses his Indonesian passport and citizenship to get into college. Suddenly even Ivy League Columbia University is a possibility for a foreign student from Indonesia. And it’s all paid for by the taxpayers.
That would explain how a poor student who rarely attended class and got mediocre grades, and with no money, was able to get accepted and pay for Occidental, Columbia and Harvard Law. The door magically opened for a foreign student. Every college needs one or two bright exotic foreigners to create “diversity.”
Now the sad reality is there is some U.S. student — a Valedictorian of his or her school — who never got to go to Columbia or Harvard Law because Obama fraudulently took their place.
That would also explain the great mystery of how in the summer of 1981 Barry Soetoro was able to travel to Pakistan when no U.S. citizen was allowed to travel there. An American couldn’t make that trip…but no problem if you’re an Indonesian citizen using an Indonesian passport?

10 Concepts Liberals Talk About Incessantly But Don't Understand
Re-posted from
1) Being Open Minded: To a liberal, this has nothing at all to do with seriously considering other people's ideas. To the contrary, liberals define being "open-minded" as agreeing with them. What could be more close-minded than assuming that not only are you right, but that you don't even need to consider another viewpoint because anyone who disagrees must be evil?
2) Racism: Liberals start with the presumption that only white people who don't belong to the Democratic Party can be racist. So, for example, even if Jeremiah Wright can make it clear that he hates white people because of their skin color or if liberals take an explicitly racist political position, like suggesting that black people are too stupid and incompetent to get identification to vote, they can't be racist. White Republicans, on the other hand, are generally assumed to be racist by default, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary.
3) Fairness: In all fairness, I must admit that fairness is an arbitrary concept. So, you could make the argument that no one could get "fairness" wrong. Still, liberals do because they don't make any effort to actually "be fair." As a practical matter, liberals define "fairness" as taking as much as possible from people who they don't think are going to vote for them and giving it to people who may vote for them in return for their ill gotten largesse. Certainly conservatives, libertarians, and moderates might disagree about how much money to take from the wealthy to redistribute to the poor or how to help the disadvantaged, but the only liberal answer to the question, "How much is enough?" is "more."
4) Greed: To a liberal, believing that you pay too much in taxes or even opposing paying more in taxes is greedy. In actuality, wanting to loot as much money as possible that someone else has earned to use for your own purposes, which is what liberals do, is a much better example of greed.
5) Hate: Liberals often define simple disagreement with them on issues like gay marriage, tax rates, or abortion as hatred. No matter how well a position is explained, or the logical underpinnings behind it, it's chalked up to hate. Meanwhile, the angriest, most vicious, most hateful people in all of politics are liberals railing against what they say is "hatred." This irony is completely lost on the Left.
6) Investment: Actual investments involve putting money or resources into a project in hopes that they will appreciate in value. Liberals skip the second half of that equation. To them, an "investment" is taking someone else's tax dollars and putting it into a project that liberals approve of and whether a profit is made or lost is so irrelevant that they typically don't even bother to measure the results.
7) Charity: Contributing your own money or time to a good cause is charity. Liberals view themselves as charitable if they take someone else's tax dollars and give it away to people they hope will vote for them in return. At a minimum, they should at least credit the taxpayers who paid for the money they gave away for the charity, although it's not really charity if it's involuntary. Of course, there's nothing charitable about asking someone else to sacrifice for your gain, which could actually be better described as selfish.
8) Patriotism: Liberals love America the way a wife beater loves his spouse. That's why they're always beating up the country "for its own good." Doesn't the country understand that liberals have to hit it in the mouth because they LOVE IT SO MUCH?!?!? Of course, the conventional definition of patriotism, which is loving your country and wishing it well, isn't one that liberals can wrap their heads around.
9) Tolerance: In a free, open, and pluralistic society, there are all sorts of behaviors that we may have to tolerate, even though we don't approve of those activities. Liberals don't get this distinction. For one thing, they don't understand the difference between tolerance and acceptance. They also don't extend any of the tolerance they're agitating for to people who disagree with them. Liberals silence people who disagree with them at every opportunity which is, dare we say it, an extremely intolerant way to behave.
10) Diversity: What liberals mean by "diversity" is that they want a broad range of people from different races, colors, and creeds who have identical political views. A black or Hispanic conservative doesn't contribute to "diversity" in liberal eyes because he actually has diverse views. Incredible role models for women like Sarah Palin can't be feminists to liberals because she doesn't share the same liberal beliefs as sexist pigs like Anthony Weiner and Bill Maher. How can you have any meaningful "diversity" when everyone has to think the same way?
1) Being Open Minded: To a liberal, this has nothing at all to do with seriously considering other people's ideas. To the contrary, liberals define being "open-minded" as agreeing with them.
