Reaching out to supporters, he praised Obama's record on jobs, citing the successful stimulus and the auto bailout; blaming Europe and Republicans for the slowdown.
"Who would have ever thought that the Republicans who made a living for decades deriding 'old Europe' would embrace their economic policy?" he said to the laughing audience. "Their economic policy is austerity and unemployment now, and then a long-term budget that will explode the debt when the economy recovers so that interest rates will be so high nobody will be able to do anything." That's it. Make the audience think it's the Pubs who want to be like the EU. The mind boggles.
Referring to Republican freshman Congressman Allen West, Clinton continued "He's had to get all this done with a House of Representatives that had one of the tea party members claim that 78 to 81 members of the Democratic caucus were members of the Communist Party.
"This is not the 1950s. At least Joe McCarthy could skate on the fact that there was one or two living Communists walking around," he added to laughter from the crowd. "Nobody has seen a Communist in over a decade." Spin it, Willie, twirl it! Make 'em all dizzy!
"As usual, he pretty much summed it up," Obama said. "So I don't have to add too much - don't want to guild the lily here. Nobody has a better grasp and understanding of the issues than this man." Not even his wife, O? Moving farther and farther into a dream world.

I am really disappointed in Willie, I thought he was more patriot than socialist. I know he is FAR more centrist than Obambi.
I think Clinton is having trouble, he does not want to be viewed as cozying up to the Republicans but I think he trully loathes and dispises Obambi.
Obambi is heading for an Odessa Steps moment with his own supporters. With Maureen Dowd slamming him and the NYT writing articles about him that have much the same tone as their criticisms of GWB, I think we are on the verge of a watershed moment on BO.

Slick disparaging Congressman Allen West should come with a mandetory $10m fine and a 5 year prison sentence.

Huh? Don't you remember old Slick Willie talking up socialized medicine way back in 1993, long before anybody ever even heard of Barack Obama? And it was Hildebeast trying to ramrod the whole thing through Congress.
I remember him saying, "This health care system of ours is badly broken, and it is time to fix it." His idea of fixing it was pretty much the same as Obama's. They are cut from the same cloth. Maybe this will refresh your memory.
For some reason, some people have fond memories of William Jefferson Clinton. But I always thought he was a lying, cheating son of a bitch. It was Newt Gingrich forcing him to balance the budget that gave him whatever claim he might have had to a fairy prosperous economy. But during that whole time Fannie and Freddie were laying the ground work for the 2008 mortgage meltdown. Yeah, he pretty much opened up the border to a flood of illegal immigrants too. Spit.

The real watershed moment on BO will come Election Day, followed by an expected vote-count fiasco unless there is a massive turnout against The One.
The governor of the US state of Wisconsin is facing a rare recall election, seen as a key test ahead of the presidential election in November. Republican Governor Scott Walker faces Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett more than a year after passing a law limiting workers' collective bargaining rights.
Critics gathered nearly one million signatures to force the recall vote.
The outcome of Wisconsin's vote could have implications for the presidential election, analysts say.
Mr Walker is only the third governor in US history to face a recall vote.
The fight in Wisconsin reflects the broader national conversation over how to deal with bloated budgets and a sluggish economic recovery, and correspondents say that what happens in Wisconsin could have a bearing on how the presidential campaign unfolds.
"One thing is really clear here: If Walker wins on Tuesday, which we are really confident he will, [Barack] Obama's going to have a much tougher road ahead in Wisconsin this fall," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus told reporters, ABC News reported.

Fox's Frank Luntz had quite a gathering of Wisconsin folks last evening. They appeared to be split pretty heavily on the issue. One lady was particularly upset that she had to miss work and stay home with her children because their teachers trekked to Madison to participate in the Gov Walker protests. Being paid by the school district for protesting might have added insult to the injury as well.

This is all about money and power. Walker stands in the way of unions. This recall is outright greed. Obama should have been long gone but stinkers like him remain.
#3
Walker's requirements that the PEUs pay more toward their generous medical and retirement are entirely reasonable. These asshats have been spoiled and acted like pampered children. Most voters have gotta be sick of the drama

The PEUs and their minions in the media are throwing everything they can against the wall to see if it sticks against Walker.
Their current meme is that Walker is involved in a criminal investigation against his office when he was Milwaukee County's Supervisor. What they don't report is that he's the one who initiated the investigation (and promptly fired some pesons) when he found out that some on his staff (holdovers from previous Dem administrations acting as they were used to doing) were engaged in theft by fraud, outright theft of public funds, campaign work (not know for who) on County time and various other illegal activities.
Unfortunately, there are many folks that will believe anything you tell them. It's looking to be a tight race.

He most probably will win the recall but will he win the recount?

"Bearing on how the presidential campaign unfolds" > yeah, the majority of both CNN + FOX Pundits believe that WI is a gauge of whetehr the Bammer will win in November or not.
I'm not convinced - however true the above or not, IMO its more correct to say that WI, PA, + CA are litmus tests for the survival of traditional Big Labor = AFL-CIO, etc. under OWG-NWO = SPACE GOVT-ORDER.

I thought Obama was the thingamajig America bought four years ago after the usual massive orchestrated media blitz (But, wait there's more...). Now it's time for a product recall due to defects and deficits in its performance.
#11
I went out and did my part. Bought a thingamajig for my furnace that I had been putting off. So far it hasn't changed the unemployment rate and the thingamajig was made in China anyway.

Oh I see. It was that chukkkling Booosh and his vampire colloquialism who stole Dear Reader's ability to communicate! Uncle Hole in One would love to use proper terms like widgets, or a stream like, "Get a doodad for your whatzit and fix the doohickey with a thingamajig."
#13
He's in a thermostat plant surrounded by 50,000 boxes saying "THERMOSTAT", and he calls them thingamajigs. He's either totally stupid or a really condescending SOB. Most likely the latter, I've often seen bosses make light of the productive workers this way.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Reaching out to supporters, he praised Obama's record on jobs, citing the successful stimulus and the auto bailout; blaming Europe and Republicans for the slowdown.
