With endorsements like this, he must be good for America.

Can't the American people see through Obama yet??

Chavez, Castro, Putin: Four more years! | Times 247

Quote:
The latest [dictator] to publicly announce his support for the commander-in-chief’s reelection bid was Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, who this week assured he’d vote for Obama if he were from the United States. The America-bashing strongman made the announcement on state-owned television, saying “Obama is a good guy” and that if Obama was from Caracas, he’d surely return the favor by voting for Chavez.

Earlier in the year the government-official daughter of Cuban military dictator Raul Castro proclaimed her country’s support for Obama during a visit to the U.S. “I believe that Obama needs another opportunity and he needs greater support to move forward with his projects and with his ideas, which I believe come from the bottom of his heart,” Mariela Castro said during a cable news interview. ...

That brings us to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, who has eliminated most elections in his country, monopolized all major media and destroyed the political party system. ... In a letter to a major newspaper, the president of a group dedicated to expanding freedom around the world points out that under Putin there has been an “across-the-board crackdown on civil society.” The piece goes on to ask: “Will Obama stand up against Putin’s abuses?” Unlikely, now that the Russian dictator has extended his endorsement.

Especially when you're fundraising.

You've been trumped. Dick Cheney endorses Romney:

Dick Cheney gives Mitt Romney his endorsement - The Washington Post

I particularly enjoyed the part of the article discussing how Romney's people practically busted a gut to avoid the possibility of any photos or videos of the two men together.

DICK CHENEY SPEAKS OUT

Press December 12, 2011 In an exclusive interview granted to Heywood Sargent of the Associated Press today, former Vice President Dick Cheney is pressed to respond to tough questions about his new book, his relationships with Former Secretaries of State Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice, the American presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his alleged suggestion to then President George Bush in 2006, that America should not rule out a full scale invasion of France.....

Cheney…You’re kidding. Colin is colored? I always thought he was Armenian or something. You live and learn. About Condi, look, I don’t want the hired help getting creative, but Condi took condescension to a whole new level. I mean, the President would ask her, “Condi, I want your input on this ‘weapons of mass destruction’ business. Does this hummus-eater have ‘em, or what.” And her robotic response was, “Mr. President, on January 21st, you made a statement condemning Saddam Hussein for having huge stockpiles of fissionable material, with the intention to use it against America and her allies. I whole heartedly agree with that statement, Mr. President, and all other statements made by you on all matters foreign and domestic, during both your Presidency, and your tenure in Austin as governor of Texas. And also your statement to the New Haven police after your DUI arrest when you were a student at Yale, that your father covered up.” Look, I don’t want them getting creative, but Jesus.

It is a blog not unlike the one Romney uses to endorse his tax plan.


Islam has its six articles of faith, and Mitt Romney has his six studies that he and Paul Ryan say support his tax plan. Right? Not really.

These "studies" were laid waste over the past few days by Josh Barro of Bloomberg and Matthew O'Brien of The Atlantic. Three of these studies, ready for this, are blog posts.

Now, blog posts can be substantive, and I think I've written plenty of wonky blog posts about tax policy in particular. But still. It takes some stones to call a blog post a "study." Another is an op-ed column. One is his own campaign's white paper! And it doesn't add up the math, it just makes assertions

Chavez is the legally elected, constitutional leader of a free republic.

That's true. ESPECIALLY when requests for added security are denied all the way up to the mans dying day.

No they can't see through him. They are too buisy memorizing batting averages and NFL team rosters. In other words the country is full of people with their head up their ass.
