Obama Praises Nazi Sympathizer in Honor of Jewish-American Heritage Month

#1  Geography and world history.... not his strong points.

#2  It's the teleprompter's fault.

#3  Obama thought: "L3sbian and Jewish? Two-fer pandering!"
Posted by: Frank G || 05/05/2012 8:42 Comments || Top||

#4  Obama might be pandering for the L3sbian and Jewish vote and he might get the L3sbian vote. I don't think citing Stein whose sympathies were with Hitler will help him with the Jewish vote.

Had Hitler received the Nobel Peace Prize, he and Obama would have that in common.

#5  ..you know, besides launching military offensives against other sovereign nations solely through the exercise of executive authority. [see:Libya]

#6  A Presidential spokesperson blamed the inclusion a Nazi-sympathizer in a speech about Jewish-American Heritage Month on sending out a copy of the speech too soon.

Riiiight. And Morgan Freeman is my wife. That's the ticket!

Mitt Romney issues Ohio challenge to President Obama
A letter from Romney to Obama. If Romney wrote this letter himself, he's got IT. If someone else wrote it for him, Romney should on for dear life to that person.

#1  Yikes! I hope it's real. As for his plan to get government out of the way, I hope it involves a machete and a torch.

#2  If Obama promised a chicken in every pot there would be at least three new govmint agencies to regulate chickens. Wait a minute, there already are at least three agencies regulating chickens.

-Election 2012
British PM's party suffers heavy losses
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Prime Minister David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
's Conservative Party took a bashing yesterday in mid-term local elections, capping a bad month for the government after Britannia slid back into recession.

The main opposition Labour Party made big gains in the partial elections at the expense of the Conservatives and their Liberal Democrat partners in the coalition government.

In a further blow to Cameron two years after he came to power, his push to create the posts of elected mayors in England's biggest cities was rejected in referendums.

However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
early vote indications showed Conservative Boris Johnson may hold on to the mayor's job in London in the year of the 2012 Olympics.

Results are due in the capital from 1900 GMT.

A BBC vote share estimate based on results in England put Labour up three per cent on 39 per cent, the Conservatives down four on 31, the Liberal Democrats unchanged on 16 and others on 14.

They projected a low turnout of 32 per cent. With results in from 104 of the 181 local councils, Conservatives controlled 29 councils, losing power in 11, and held 604 seats, a loss of 289.
