Chris, the Emperor really has no clothes.

But, will the MSM play along, like in 2008?

I watched President Obama give a speech in Michigan this morning. He DOES deliver a good teleprompter served up speech.

Obama is charming and knows how to work the crowd.

But…. this does not work with governance and polict which have been a disaster for the American people.

Will candidate Obama be able to persuade voters to give him another four years?

Fool me twice….

Chris, it appears Damon is taking lessons from President Obama.

Look at yesterday’s video where Obama and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer got into it when the President arrived in Arizona.

Is the President now trying to look tough or what?

Must be the Chicago way…..

Chris, you say Obama’s pants are on fire?

Well, yeah, I guess you are correct. Look at his moaning on tax “FAIRNESS.”

Are wealthier Americans really not paying their fair share? Here are some numbers on income inequality:

1. The top 1% pay 36.7% of fed income taxes, earn 16.9% of adjusted gross income (as of 2009).

2. The top 0.1% pay 17.1% of taxes, earned 7.8% of adjusted gross income.

3. The average income tax rate for top 1% is 24%. The bottom 50%? Just 1.85%.

4. The bottom 50% pay just 2.3% of income taxes.

5. Buffett chose to leave most of his fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, avoiding 55% estate tax.

Those weekly news magazines like Time and Newsweek are as dead as the trees upon which they are printed.

Does anyone REALLy read their print editions anymore?

As Zed has found out, they are not even good for being a door stop.

Chris, we saw the power of the internet on the resurgence of Newt Gingrich in South Carolina. The thumping of Mitt Romney was not driven by the GOP Establishment with paid television or direct mail advertising – but by the “live” events = the television debates and the interconnection of the RIGHT on the internet.

This will be the same as the GOP Presidential nomination race moves to Florida today.

Watch Mitt Romney to attempt to buy a narrative on the MSM political sites and the cable networks, including Fox News. The one at the moment is that Newt Gingrich is a “disgrace.”

I don’t think this tactic will work since the narrative for Romney is already engrained in the internet driven GOP base. Romney = out of touch with average American voters.
