http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/237877-romney-demands-apology-from-obama-on-bain-attacks
Excerpt:
Mitt Romney demanded an apology from President Obama over allegations that
Romney misled the public over his tenure at Bain Capital, declaring that he had
“no role whatsoever in managing Bain Capital after 1999.” “He sure as heck
ought to say that he’s sorry for the kinds of attacks that are coming from his
team,” Romney told ABC. “If I were president of the United States I would put a stop to
it and apologize to my campaign for what has been done by his.”
Excerpt: The guns she was running would have been more
hurtful than any "stereotype." In any case, here we see clearly the
link between "Islamophobia" victimhood-mongering and violent jihad.
The former is just a deflection strategy to cover for the latter. (Guess she
needs to reread the "Islam is a religion of peace" memo. ~Bob.)
Excerpt: Both the Central Assembly of God Church in Tehran and its summer

Obama Blackmails the Middle Class. By Ann-Marie Murrell
http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/ann-mariemurrell/2012/07/14/obama_blackmails_the_middle_class
Excerpt: Obama recently gave yet another televised pep
rally, complete with a laughing, cheering progressive audience. The purpose this
time was all about taxing his most hated class o' people, the Evil Rich (of
which he finally admitted he is a part of). He used words like "holding
hostage" and offered veiled threats to the middle to lower-classed,
warning us that if his offer of taxing the rich doesn't happen, the middle
class (cue threatening music) WILL PAY.
Excerpt: Yesterday CBS/NPR host Charlie Rose interviewed
President Obama. As usual, all the softball questions were asked and answered. Perhaps
the softest was "Mr. President, what do you see as your biggest
weakness?". Obama first smirked, then postured with a intensely concerned
look on his face, then said, "I've come to learn that it's not just
getting policy right"..."I don't think I've done enough
"storytelling".
Hunter tapped as one
of 50 politicians to watch
Excerpt: Rep. Duncan Hunter has been named one of 50
politicians to watch by Politico,
a Capitol Hill newspaper and website. Hunter, R-El Cajon, is cited as someone
who "will emerge from this season of political and policy auditions to
take starring turns in the next four years." Politico recounts his
experience as a Marine in Iraq ,
and documents his close relationship with his father, who held the same
congressional seat for 28 years before stepping down and seeing his son elected
to it in 2008.
The U.S. Navy is scrapping urinals from new war ships
because increasing numbers of female sailors are enlisting. The change will be
heralded by the Gerald R. Ford class of aircraft carriers, the first of which
is due in late 2015. Getting rid of urinals lets the Navy easily switch
restrooms - or heads as they're called on the high seas - from male to female
or vice versa, helping ships to adapt to the changing gender make up of crews.

'Extraordinary' U.S.-Mexico Drug Tunnel May Be Sinaloa Cartel's
http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-drug-tunnel-details-20120712,0,612829.story
Excerpt: The powerful Sinaloa drug cartel is believed to be behind one of the most sophisticated and well-engineered smuggling tunnels ever found along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to U.S. drug enforcement officials who announced the discovery Thursday in Yuma. The “fully operational” tunnel is a 755-foot passageway, tall enough for a 6-foot person to walk through, that burrows under the border fence, a park and a water canal. It connects a small, nondescript warehouse on theU.S. side to an inoperative ice manufacturing
plant behind a strip club in Mexico .

Largest Political Machine: Public Sector Unions. By Walter Russell Mead
http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2012/07/13/the-largest-political-machine/
Excerpt: While the revelations made in this article are hardly a shock, understanding the role of the public sector unions in political donations is key to understanding the functioning of the modern American Left. The deep pockets of teachers unions and other public sector unions provide the financial infrastructure that keeps the Left in business. It’s the ultimate political machine.

Hail the New Tougher Romney. By Alex Roarty
http://decoded.nationaljournal.com/2012/07/responding-to-critics-romney-steps-up-defense.php
Excerpt: Mitt Romney got the memo. The GOP presidential contender Thursday issued a day-long, brass-knuckled rebuttal to the latest development regarding his record at Bain Capital, a message coupled with a high-dollar new TV ad that calls President Obama untrustworthy. Combined, they amount to the most aggressive defense of Romney's tenure at Bain yet.

Worth Reading
Excerpt: If Barack Obama is re-elected the United States
will never be the same, nor will it be able to re-capture its once lofty status
as the most dominant nation in the history of mankind. The overwhelming
majority of Americans do not understand that Obama's first term was dedicated
to putting in place executive power to enable him and the administration to
fulfill the campaign promise of "transforming America " in his second term
regardless of which political party controls Congress. That is why his
re-election team is virtually ignoring the plight of incumbent or prospective
Democratic Party office holders. (The explanation of the creation of these
massive bureaucracies already empowered to do whatever they want without
oversight by Congress makes great sense. A clever way to get back the system of
checks and balances the Founders built in to protect us all. And therefore
really a super bad idea. --Del.
It may, in fact, be too late regardless of the election. But we have no choice except
fight on. ~Bob.)
No surprises here. The republics dominos continue to fall.

Excerpt: I couldn’t find demographic stats on all 237 of

weekend’s shootings as reported here. I have marked them with big black dots on
a map of the city. Eyeball that alongside a demographic map, and with one
exception up there in the 46th Ward, they all occurred in heavily black or

Obama Took Cash From
Bain Outsourcing Execs
Excerpt: Barack Obama’s campaign has been quick to rip Mitt
Romney for his association with Bain Capital, which outsourced certain jobs
during restructuring of companies. There’s only one problem: many of the very
executives who were running Bain Capital during the 1999-2002 period now under
media scrutiny donated to Obama’s presidential campaign. And Obama was more
than happy to cash the checks.
Excerpt: Two of the senators who pushed an investigation
into a suspected Interior Department cover-up of the White House fudging
scientific conclusions to justify the gulf drilling moratorium are now fighting
the administration’s plan to stymie exploration and production on the outer
continental shelf. On the same day that the nation’s attention was turned
toward the ObamaCare ruling at the Supreme Court, the Obama administration was
quietly issuing a five-year energy proposal that would place a virtual
moratorium over 85 percent of the nation’s offshore areas.

The ‘Pre-Existing
Condition’ Hoax In Obamatax
Excerpt: With ObamaTax, the left has chosen a big government
policy that will offer a very brief period of health
care access to individuals with pre-existing conditions, followed by
little or no access to care as Americans
cope with long lines to see doctors. They will soon face an Independent Payment
Advisory Board (IPAB), a group of unelected government bureaucrats, who, as their
name says, will be more concerned with payment than health care……To be blunt,
the IPAB will decide if it’s worth it for funds to be spent on care for someone
who requires much of it yet may never get well, as opposed to someone who is
likely to recover and be “useful to society.”
Obama Goes For Kill
Shot With Nasty Anti-Romney Ad—Update: Romney Condemns
Excerpt: The "Uncle Jims" reference comes from a
quote from the President in Virginia yesterday:
So just in case some of your friends or neighbors, or Uncle

News -- (laughter) -- and he thinks that somehow I raised taxes -- let’s just
be clear: We’ve lowered taxes for middle-class families since I came into
office. (President Obama, Remarks, Virginia

Lloyd Marcus: NAACP
Furthers Mission
Excerpt: The NAACP further revealed its true colors when
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney addressed its members at their

Allen West: The $10
Million Dollar Man. By Charlie Mahtesian
Excerpt: Here’s another way to measure his prolific
fundraising: West raised more money this quarter than most Senate candidates –
including incumbents (like home state Sen. Bill Nelson) and those in some of
the most competitive Senate races in the nation. There aren’t many other House
members who can generate that kind of cash or the same level of devotion.
George Schultz: Memo
to Romney: Expand the Pie. By Robert L. Pollock, New York Times
Excerpt: "I'll give you an example. [Reagan] knew and
we all advised him you can't have a decent economy with the kind of inflation
we've got. . . . The political people would come in and say 'You've got to be
careful, Mr. President. There's gonna be a recession [if the Federal Reserve
tightens the money supply]. You're gonna lose seats in the midterm election.'
"And he basically said, 'If not us who? If not now when?'
Worth Reading
Excerpt: In humdrum reality, [Barack Obama's] idea of the
future doesn't seem to be any more futuristic than the pre-Thatcher statist
wasteland of Britain
in the Seventies [I wuz there! Kate], but that didn't stop the massed ranks of
fresh-faced youth chanting "We are the Hopeychange!" in adoring if
glassy-eyed unison behind him at every campaign rally. Four years later, half
of recent graduates can't find full-time employment; Americans' college debt is
now larger than credit card debt; the number of young people with summer jobs
is at a record low; and men in their late twenties and early thirties trudge
upstairs every night to the same bedroom in which they slept as a
kindergartner.

No loonies need apply
for GOP veep. By Carl Hiaasen
Excerpt: Prevailing cable punditry says Romney is going to
pick someone “safe,” meaning dull, white and male. The candidate will have more
experience holding public office than Palin did, and he’ll likely hail from an
important swing state where moose don’t outnumber independent voters. That’s
why [Florida 's]
Rubio is still in the VP mix.
The Meth Makeover:
Cocaine, Banoffee Pie and a new dawn for the hippy-dippy diocese of Portsmouth , England
Excerpt: This week the online technology magazine The Kernel
published an investigation by Willard Foxton into the digital drugs trade, or
“extreme shopping”, as it’s known. Remember that term: I suspect it’s going to
catch on. One young junkie raves to Foxton about the benefits of moving his
habit “totally online”.
Food Crisis Fears as U.S. London
Excerpt: The US
is crucial to supplying the world with food: the country is the largest
exporter of corn, soyabeans and wheat, accounting for one in every three tonnes
of the staple grains traded on the global market. Prices for this year’s corn
crop, deliverable in December, have jumped 44 per cent in a month, wheat has
rallied 45 per cent, and soyabeans 17 per cent. (Thank the drought and the
ethanol-loving Greenies. ~Bob.)
