More Obama Off Shoring
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
The prime example of Obama sending US jobs off shore is how the US now pays the Russians to get our Astronauts on and off our own orbital space station.
Now Mark Steyn has another example:
Liberals are always going on about the evils of “outsourcing” and “offshoring” – selfish vulture capitalists like Mitt Romney shipping jobs to cheap labor overseas just to save a few bucks. How unpatriotic can you get! So now the United States government is outsourcing embassy security to cheap Welshmen who, in turn, outsource it to cheaper Libyans. Diplomatic facilities are U.S. sovereign territory – no different de jure from Fifth Avenue or Mount Rushmore. So defending them is one of the core responsibilities of the state. But that’s the funny thing about Big Government: the bigger it gets, the more of life it swallows up, the worse it gets at those very few things it’s supposed to be doing. So, on the first anniversary of 9/11 in a post-revolutionary city in which Western diplomats had been steadily targeted over the previous six months, the government of the supposedly most powerful nation on Earth entrusted its security to Abdulaziz Majbari, 29, and his pal, who report to some bloke back in Carmarthen, Wales. In the days before the attack, Joe Biden had been peddling his Obama campaign slogan that: “Bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive.” The first successful terrorist attack on U.S. sovereign territory since 9/11, and on the very anniversary and by al-Qaida-linked killers, was not helpful to the Obama team. And so the nature of the event had to be “politicized”: Look, over there – an Islamophobic movie! “Greater love hath no man than this,” quoth the President at Chris Stevens’ coffin, “that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Smaller love hath no man than Obama’s, than to lay down his “friend” for a couple of points in Ohio.
Yup, the Obama regime replaced US security forces with local “militias” in Benghazi, where a US Ambassador was killed in a planned terrorist attack. HT to Ed Driscoll for the Mark Steyn quote.
Another example is Mexican Billionaire and big Obama donor, Carlos Slim, who is getting richer with every Obama Phone the regime gives out, paid for by the rapidly decreasing number of Americans who pay federal taxes.

Ace nails Barry’s extremely poor debate performance
Ace is on fire with this spot on accurate assessment of our Dear Leader.
Let me suggest something that many conservatives realized after the debate: Obama did not do that badly. For Obama. He was the same listless, droning, exhausted-of-ideas scold we have seen for at least two years now (and maybe three).
He was Obama. This is what he is. He is not quick-witted. He is not, as I think I saw Mickey Kaus note, a wonk. He has never been a wonk, a detailed-policy guy.
He is a guy who speaks vacuously of hopes and dreams and change and fairness.
He always has been.
…
I repeat: This is who Obama is. He has never been this brilliant intellect and keen policy analysts liberals have, in their BubbleWorld, dreamed him as.
The problem is not that Obama is or was awful. The problem is that he is what he always is —adequate and hardly ever more — and Romney is actually on top of things, an accomplished executive with a winner’s thirst for victory an an A-student’s understanding of what victory requires.
…
I hate to defend Obama at all, but I have to say to his Religious Zealot supporters: This is yourshit. This is your deeply weird, Great Man on a White Horse worshipping psychological hangup.
One of the most wonderful things which will come with a Romney presidency is that Romney willfinally, once again, separate Church and State. The president, finally, will just be a man. Not a perfect man. Not a prefigurement of Jesus. Not a prophet and not a savoir.
Just a man. A good man, and a smart man. But ultimately just a man.
The fusion of religion and politics has in fact been every bit as deleterious as the liberals always warned us.
It’s just that they were the ones who actually fused God and President.
Read the whole thing. It really is a spot on and well written piece.
If you think the religious references are over the top, you need to dial the wayback machine about 4 years, and reread the “Lightworker” article in the SF Chronicle, and remember that it was not an isolated incident.

Debate roundup
The first Presidential debate between our Dear Leader and Gov. Romney occurred tonight. Here are some reviews of the one sided pounding.
BOB OWENS: “How bad was Romney’s beat-down of Obama tonight?”
Ed Schultz & Rachel Maddow agree: Romney won. When a far left extremist socialist looses MSNBC, you know he did really, truly, incredibly badly.
Washington Post: ROUND WON: Romney Seized Offense in Debate…

Obama Economy Chart of the day
Filed under: economy, Obama Economy, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Back in early August, I posted a chart that compared the GDP growth rate of inflation.
It showed that the GDP was growing slower than the rate of inflation, or to put it more simply, the money you have is losing value faster than the economy is growing.
It’s time for an updated version of that chart, since the Fed just reduced the GDP rate for Q2 2012 to 1.3%, not the 1.5% they projected back in early August.
As you can see, the economy under our Dear Leader’s regime is clearly going in the wrong direction.
