President Obama Had Nothing For Mitt Romney Except A Smirk

The RNC have seized on last nights debate performance to make a new web video called “Smirk” which describes President Obama for most of the debate. “Governor Romney won last night’s debate because he laid out a clear choice for voters in November–a real recovery versus four more years like the last,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “Mitt Romney demonstrated that he has a plan to get America back to work and showed that President Obama’s policies will do nothing but continue the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression. It was clear this evening that the falsehoods President Obama has been pedaling about Mitt Romney could not stand up to the truth and that Obama can’t explain how his failures mean he deserves another four years.”

Night Of The Living Pelosi From John Dennis

John Dennis is running against Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, and is using a very strange ad campaign to do it. The good thing is “no animals, zombies, or politicians were harmed during the making of this video.” Dennis is not your typical Republican because he is pro gay marriage and for the legalization of marijuana. He also supports Ron Paul, and is chairman of the California chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus.
“Some fights need to be fought no matter what the odds. Democracy demands debate.
No politician should be above it, not even Nancy Pelosi. The people of San Francisco
deserve a public debate. If you want to see Nancy Pelosi come back to San Francisco and
have an open, public Lincoln-Douglas style debate on the nation and the issues, please go to
JohnDennis2012.com“,
because “October is the perfect time for a spooky spoof.”

Since When Has Mitt Romney Been Tough On China?

President Obama’s latest campaign ad responds to Mitt Romney’s attacks claiming Obama has been soft on China. According to the ad, “a company called Global Tech maximized profits by paying its workers next to nothing under sweatshop conditions in China. When Mitt Romney led Bain, they saw Global Tech as a good investment even knowing that the firm promoted its practice of exploiting low-wage labor to its investors.”

President Obama’s Weekly Address 9/29/2012 It Is Time For Congress To Help Responsible Homeowners

From the White House; “In this week’s address, President Obama explains his administration’s steps to help the housing market, including giving responsible homeowners a chance to save thousands of dollars every year by refinancing their mortgages, but says we need Congress’s help to do more.” President Obama says, “Today, we know the biggest cause of that crisis was reckless behavior in the housing market. Millions of Americans who did the right and responsible thing – who shopped for a home, secured a mortgage they could afford, and made their payments on time – were badly hurt by the irresponsible actions of others. By lenders who sold loans to families who couldn’t afford them – and buyers who knew they couldn’t afford them. By speculators who were looking to make a quick buck. And by banks that packaged and sold those risky mortgages for phony profits.” Obama claims he has tried to help saying, “Back in February I sent Congress a plan to give every responsible homeowner the chance to save about $3,000 a year on their mortgages by refinancing at lower rates. It’s a plan that has the support of independent, nonpartisan economists and leaders across the housing industry. But Republicans in Congress worked to keep it from even getting to a vote. And here we are – seven months later – still waiting on Congress to act.”
