President Obama’s re-election campaign has released a new video which tells us why President Obama is fighting so hard for his job. According to the campaign, “At a press conference this week, President Obama spoke about what’s at stake in this campaign—creating jobs, rebuilding the economy, and educating the next generation. Making a powerful case for a different kind of politics, the President’s words are a good reminder of what we’re fighting for.”
Mitt Romney has released a new video which celebrates what makes America so great this fourth of July. Romney says, “On this Fourth of July, let us take time to remember the sacrifices of the heroes who keep us free and renew the American spirit. Believe in America.”
From the GOP; “In the Weekly Republican Address, Indiana Senator Dan Coats discusses Independence Day, America’s fiscal crisis, and Indiana’s example
Sen. Coats begins, “Two hundred and thirty-five years ago this July 4th, our Founding Fathers risked their lives and signed a document announcing the birth of America. Their brave declaration of freedom changed the course of history and revolutionized the world. Our Founding Fathers severed the chains of tyranny to provide a land of opportunity for future generations. They left it to their children and grandchildren to protect this gift.
“This generational responsibility is the story of America. Today, we must ask ourselves: Will we continue this tradition? Will we leave behind a more prosperous country for our children? When I retired from the Senate 12 years ago, I felt confident that my children and grandchildren would have the opportunity to pursue the American Dream: a quality education, home ownership, and a good paying job to support a family. But over the past few years, I saw that dream become ever tougher for Americans to reach. I returned to the Senate for one reason: I refused to stand on the sidelines. I refused to be part of the first generation to leave behind a country in worse shape than the one we inherited.”
Discussing the debt crisis, Sen. Coats says, “The American people understand the urgency of our fiscal crisis. They want their elected officials to stop spending money we don’t have, and to enact policies that will grow our economy and get Americans back to work. Unfortunately, the President’s economic plan of spending and borrowing has failed. . . . The President and Democrats in Congress must recognize that their game plan is not working. It’s time to acknowledge that more government and higher taxes is not the answer to our problem. It’s time for bold action and a new plan to address our current crisis.”
Sen. Coats suggests, “For inspiration, they should look outside Washington, and there is no better playbook for getting us on the right track than the one used in Indiana. The Hoosier way is quite simple — we work hard and we live within our means. In Indiana, we understand that you cannot spend more money than you take in. When our state fell off course, a leader stepped up with solutions to steer it straight, and the people of Indiana responded. Governor Mitch Daniels, like the President, inherited a weak economy. In 2005, Indiana faced a $200 million deficit and had failed to balance the budget for seven years. And while other states increased spending and raised taxes, Indiana reduced spending, cut taxes and paid down its debts. Thanks to our governor’s leadership and the resolve of Hoosiers, our state is now the most attractive place to do business in the Midwest.”
Sen. Coats continues, “The Hoosier model is a necessary first step to repairing our country’s finances. And this week, every Senate Republican took that step by committing to a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Speaker of the House has committed to bringing the Balanced Budget Amendment to a vote later this month, and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has committed to fighting for a vote in the Senate as well. Broke or balanced, that’s the choice before us.”
From the White House, “President Obama addresses the need to reduce the nation’s deficit while creating jobs across the country and wishes Americans a happy Fourth of July.”
“it’s the kind of language that you would expect from the leader of a third world country, not the President of the United States,†Senator Marco Rubio (R-FLa) said on the Senate floor.

Mitt Romney has expanded on his Allentown theme with another ad showing how bad the Obama economy has failed this town. According to Romney, “Allentown Metal Works survived the Great Depression, but couldn’t survive the Obama Economy.” Romney ads, “”I could assure voters, that if I were President of the United States, I would spend every waking moment doing what I could to get Americans back to work. I would focus my energy and passion on the economy and getting Americans good jobs.”
Here’s a new ad from the National Republican Senatorial Committee. It’s interesting that after scolding Congress and making them skip their July fourth break that President Obama is scheduling a break for him and his family at Camp David this weekend. Do as I say, not as I do.
Thaddeus McCotter will announce this Saturday, 7/2/2011, that he will be joining the ranks of republican candidates for the 2012 Presidency. But, before that he rocked out with Governor Mike Huckabee and the Little Rockers. McCotter picked up his patriotic ax and shredded it to “Let It Rock.”
Newt Gingrich was on Fox and Friends this morning to explain that John McCain and Ronald Reagan had problems with their staff to. Gingrich points out that polls this early don’t matter and that MSM tries to pick the candidates anyway. He also weighed in on the debt crisis facing the nation by saying, “the American people need to hold President Obama accountable. He’s President of the United States. If the Republicans in the House pass a debt ceiling that includes substantial spending cuts, a debt ceiling which includes a balanced budget amendment, and the Republicans in the House do their job, it seems to me the burden then is on the president. Is he really going to veto that and create a default?”
