Obama On Winning Reelection: “I’m Not Worried”

Arrogant Bastard !!!


Via Washington Free Beacon:

President Obama declared “I’m not worried” about reelection before an audience of well-heeled campaign donors in New York City today, according to White House pool reports.

“Their message will be, ‘You’re upset, you’re unsatisfied. It’s Obama’s fault.’ But I’m not worried. The reason I’m not worried is because of you,” Obama said.

Obama contrasted his vision of government’s role in the economy and society in wide-ranging remarks to the audience, and continued his partisan attacks against Republicans.

“The ideas they’re putting forward have been tried,” Obama said. “We’ve tried them from 2000 to 2008 and it resulted in the most sluggish job growth we’ve ever seen.”

Over the eight years of Bush’s presidency, from January 2001 to January 2009, the economy added an average of 11,406 jobs per month, according to a Washington Free Beacon study.

Ouch, That’s gotta hurt !!! Federal inmate makes strong showing against Obama in West Virginia primary !!!


CHARLESTON, West Virginia – Just how unpopular is President Barack Obama in some parts of the country? Enough that a man in prison in Texas is getting 4 out of 10 votes in West Virginia's Democratic presidential primary.

The inmate, Keith Judd, is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999. With 93 percent of precincts reporting, Obama was receiving just under 60 percent of the vote to Judd's 40 percent.

For some West Virginia Democrats, simply running against Obama is enough to get Judd votes.

"I voted against Obama," said Ronnie Brown, a 43-year-old electrician from Cross Lanes who called himself a conservative Democrat. "I don't like him. He didn't carry the state before and I'm not going to let him carry it again."

When asked which presidential candidate he voted for, Brown said, "That guy out of Texas."

Judd was able to get on the state ballot by paying a $2,500 fee and filing a form known as a notarized certification of announcement, said Jake Glance, a spokesman for the Secretary of State's office.

Attracting at least 15 percent of the vote would normally qualify a candidate for a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. But state Democratic Party Executive Director Derek Scarbro said no one has filed to be a delegate for Judd. The state party also believes that Judd has failed to file paperwork required of presidential candidates, but officials continue to research the matter, Scarbro said.

Voters in other conservative states showed their displeasure with Obama in Democratic primaries last March.

In Oklahoma, anti-abortion protester Randall Terry got 18 percent of the primary vote. A lawyer from Tennessee, John Wolfe, pulled nearly 18,000 votes in the Louisiana primary. In Alabama, 18 percent of Democratic voters chose "uncommitted" in the primary rather than vote for Obama. In Tuesday's North Carolina primary, 21 percent of Democratic voters marked "no preference."

‘PIMPIN‘ FOR PAUL’: Prostitutes at Nevada’s Bunny Ranch Endorse Ron Paul ~ Video








Prostitutes at Nevada’s famed legal brothel, the “Bunny Ranch,” are endorsing GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul in the hopes that the Libertarian candidate will advance the push for legalized prostitution nationwide. To this end, Bunny Ranch staff have created a “Pimpin’ for Paul” program in which their male customers can donate money to the Paul campaign, in addition to the fee for, well, services rendered.

While this story originally broke at the beginning of January, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer presented an interview with the brothel workers endorsing Paul on Friday’s “Situation Room.”

The women, along with their manager, explained why legalized prostitution is far healthier than the black market variety. While they are indeed Americans exercising their freedom to support the primary candidate of their choosing, getting the Paul camp to accept said donations is another story entirely. Watch this unusual set of Paul supporters share their thoughts, courtesy of CNN. Viewer caution: Many of the women are as you would expect — scantily clad. The Blaze

Thomas Sowell: I’ll Take Gingrich over Romney

Economist and conservative author Thomas Sowell says voters should disregard Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich’s “baggage” and support the former House speaker because defeating President Obama in 2012 is crucial to America’s future.


Sowell cites Gingrich’s solid record of “concrete accomplishments,” which he argues makes him a stronger candidate than former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who pushed through one of the liberal healthcare programs in the nation. 


Sowell, one of the nation’s most respected conservative columnists and a senior fellow on public policy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, writes in his nationally syndicated column: “What the media call Gingrich’s ‘baggage’ concerns largely his personal life and the fact that he made a lot of money running a consulting firm after he left Congress.


“But how much weight should we give to this stuff when we are talking about the future of the nation?”


Sowell points to Obama’s economic policies, which have taken the country down a path that has “led Western European nations to the brink of financial disaster.”


He also cites a foreign policy that has “pulled the rug” out from under America’s allies while seeking to “cozy up” to our enemies, and says the failure to deter Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons development could have consequences “beyond our worst imagining.”


“Against this background, how much does Newt Gingrich’s personal life matter?” Sowell asks.


Voters should recognize Gingrich’s “concrete accomplishments” when he was House speaker — the first Republican takeover of the House in 40 years, welfare reform, and the first balanced budget in 40 years, Sowell says.


The real question, he observes, is whether Gingrich is better than Obama — and better than “smooth talker” Mitt Romney.


He concludes: “Those who want to concentrate on the baggage in Newt Gingrich’s past, rather than on the nation’s future, should remember what Winston Churchill said: ‘If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost.’ If that means a second term for Barack Obama, then it means we’ve lost, big time.”

CAIR spokeswoman, Noor Salahuddin, sizes up the GOP candidates…in Muslim eyes

She indicates that with the exception of Ron Paul, most of the candidates’ positions on the creeping Islamization of America and Islamic terrorism, are unacceptable to Muslims. As far as BNI is concerned, the candidate who sucks the most in Muslim eyes is the candidate deserving of the most consideration from real Americans.

Warning: Obama Wants Your Republican Friend’s Email !!!




Nah, this isn’t creepy at all:
The Obama presidential campaign is launching an effort to collect Republican email addresses by inviting its supporters to submit information about their Republican associates to the Obama 2012 website.

The effort could help the Obama campaign build a database that would enable it to target Republican voters during the general election campaign. But, more perniciously, it could also become part of an Democratic effort to influence Republican primary voters to select a candidate Democrats think Obama could most easily defeat. [...]

The Obama information collection effort is cast under the mischievous guise of asking Obama supporters to “have a little fun at the expense of a Republican in your life” by signing them up to get an email from the Obama campaign ribbing them for having “inspired” the Obama supporter to donate.

The result, however, is that the Obama campaign gets a new trove of Republican email addresses that it could never have collected through voluntary submissions.

I don’t get it. For one, this is a strange way to get donations: “tell your Republican friend just how much you disagree with them and hope they lose by giving us money!” Secondly, it’s assuming that Obama’s supporters are just that spiteful and petty and willing to give up their so-called friends’ emails to an email list they probably don’t want because they’re, y’know, Republicans.

Does the Obama campaign really think the donations and emails they get from this will amount to much? I highly doubt they’ll penetrate into the hearts and minds of Republican voters with the relatively small number of addresses they get. Maybe it’s just good fun, or maybe it’s creepy. I’m going with the latter.
