   Clinton & Obama’s Economic Numbers Just Don’t Add Up

   Clinton wants voters to think that giving Obama 4 more years will lead to economic prosperity and a utopia of “hope and change.” Let’s look at the numbers Obama has compile during his presidency. It is, after all, in the arithmetic as Clinton boldly claimed.

   THE ARITHMETICS:

   23 million Americans are out of work, have stopped looking for work, or are underemployed with a 30-year low in labor force participation rate.

   More Americans living in poverty under Obama’s presidency.
   $16 trillion national debt (that’s $50,000 for every American). $6 trillion from Obama’s presidency alone.

   43 straight months of 8% or higher unemployment which has led to the worst economic recovery in US history.

   4 straight trillion dollar budget deficits in a row — more than any other president combined. Democrats refused to give Obama’s budgets a single vote.

   Lower median household income. Americans are taking home less under Obama’s “recovery” than they did during Bush’s recession.

   Record number of Americans on food stamps under Obama.

   As you can see, their numbers don’t add up! This is the path of “prosperity” Clinton and Obama believe we are on.

   Here’s an example of why spending is so difficult to control. No matter what your opinion on defense spending, this is an interesting look at bipartisan effort to get the federal money and keep the folks at home working.

   On big occasions like a Presidential acceptance speech, CNN HAS been the winner among cable nets. My theory is the people who normally watch the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, FOX & NBC) still believe that CNN is still the only game in town when it comes to 24/7 news. They may have heard that MSNBC is liberal and FOX News is conservative and they believe that CNN is straight down the middle. When CNN is just “to the right” of leftist MSNBC. Tonight, unless another MAJOR story occurs (it likely won’t be political in nature), CNN goes back into the basement.

   ‘Paying for College Is a Shared Responsibility,’ Education Secretary Says

   Should point out that Arne Duncan is the same guy who was over the Chicago School System and like Obama, Duncan want to end “No Child Left Behind Law” because it shows that 82% of public schools are failing. They only want to keep children dumb in order for them to have future Democrats. That’s why, through executive order, Obama is granting waivers for states to avoid the law truth.

   Helping millions of students pay for higher education is a “shared responsibility,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a recent webcast with reporters.

   “The federal government can’t do this alone. This is a shared responsibility,” Duncan said on Aug. 24 in response to the following question from CNSNews dot com: “What is Secretary Duncan doing to lower the cost of higher education and relieve the burdens of student debt?”

   Three million more low-income students (Black and mexcian, illegal of course) have access to federal aid than three years ago. We’re also making it easier for millions of graduates to pay back their loans through income-based repayment plans and loan forgiveness for public service.”

    That article is also an example of why the discussion about spending isn’t even honest in the first place – That plant is kept open by ongoing government stimulus (“saved jobs”), but in this case it’s Republican-backed. That isn’t free market capitalism, it’s corporate welfare. A lack of honesty makes any attempt at substantive debt reduction a non-starter.

    Yes, Obama Gutted Welfare Reform, Rector Says in the Washington Post

    “To hear Bill Clinton tell it, there’s no truth to the charges that President Obama gutted welfare reform,” Heritage Foundation scholar Robert Rector writes in the Washington Post.

    But Clinton is wrong. “The law has indeed been gutted,” Rector says.

    So why is Rector such an authority on welfare reform that the Post would publish his article? Because he helped write the 1996 welfare law in the first place:

    Working closely with members of Congress, I helped draft the work requirements in the 1996 law, and I raised the alarm on July 12, when the Obama administration issued a bureaucratic order allowing states to waive those requirements.

    Rector explains what President Obama really did:

    The Obama administration is waiving the federal requirement that ensures a portion of able-bodied TANF recipients must engage in work activities. It is replacing that requirement with a standard that shows that the pre-reform welfare program was successful and the post-reform program a failure. If that is not gutting welfare reform, it is difficult to imagine what would be.

    Even as First Lady Michelle Obama eloquently addresses the needs of military families, her husband’s Defense Department is cutting back on programs mandated by Congress to increase military voter turnout.

    In 2009, Congress passed the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE) to stimulate turnout among active duty military, in part, by establishing Installation Voter Assistance Offices (IVAO) on each base to help military personnel vote. But, in a report just issued by the Pentagon’s Inspector General, only about half of the installations have voter assistance offices even though the MOVE Act required them all to have them.

    Why is the Obama Pentagon dragging its feet in catalyzing a turnout of military voters? It is probably because they would overwhelmingly back Romney if they were able to vote.

    Among military veterans, Romney leads Obama by 58-34. One would assume that active duty military have a similar inclination. In the 2000 cliff-hanger Gore/Bush election, Democrats moved to exclude military absentee ballots from the Florida vote tally because they skewed so heavily against them.

    How outrageous is it that the Pentagon is failing to implement a bi-partisan act of Congress designed to help those who defend our freedom participate in it by voting on Election Day?

    This Pentagon report comes on the heels of lawsuits filed by the Democratic Party in Ohio to cut back the number of days during which military personnel can cast absentee ballots. The Ohio legislature had extended the period until the day before Election Day. But the Democratic lawsuit is trying to cut it back to four days before Election Day. Their suit is based on their contention that treating military absentee ballots differently from other kinds of absentee voting is discriminatory. But how easy is it to vote when you are in the wilds of Afghanistan, out on patrol during the day, constantly on the alert for snipers? These are obstacles most absentee voters don’t face and the military are entitled to special efforts to make their voting easier.

    MSNBC is so far to the right I think they lost a lot of Dems when they tuned in. They saw Ed, Rachel and Tingles. They listened for a few minutes and thought Blitz Woffer, Jessica Yellen, Donna Brazile and Dana Bash are at least watchable.
