The latest cause for alarm is <a href="http://www.democracycorps.com/focus/2012/06/shifting-the-economic-narrative/"> a memo</a>
from Democracy Corps, a research group headed by Democratic pollster
Stan Greenberg and political consultant James (“it’s the economy,
stupid”) Carville. Based on their analysis of focus groups conducted in
late May among swing voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Greenberg and
Carville say that the current campaign message — which stresses progress
made towards economic recovery — is out of touch with the daily pain
voters are feeling.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The authors urge Team Obama to switch to a new narrative that focuses
on what Obama will do to make a better future for the middle class.
Otherwise, they say, “we will face an impossible head wind in November.”</b></span><br />

“It happens every so often”<br />
Diane Zambrano says her 4-year-old daughter, Jazlyn, is in the same West Hoke Elementary School class as the little girl whose lunch gained national attention earlier this week. When Zambrano picked Jazlyn up from school late last month, she was told by Jazlyn’s teacher that the lunch she had packed that day did not meet the necessary guidelines and that Jazlyn had been sent to the cafeteria.<br />
<br />
The lunch Zambrano packed for her daughter? A cheese and salami sandwich on a wheat bun with apple juice. The lunch she got in the cafeteria? Chicken nuggets, a sweet potato, bread and milk.<br />
<br />
“She never eats breakfast or lunch at the school,” Zambrano said of her daughter during an interview. “We always wake up early and make her lunch.”</span></h1><div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>That day, Zambrano said she picked Jazlyn up from school and asked if she ate her lunch.</b></span></div><div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>“She’s not picky about food but you have to be on top of her,” she explained.</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.midamericacounseling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/angry-child.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="http://www.midamericacounseling.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/angry-child.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>When Jazlyn said she didn’t eat what her mother had made her, Zambrano went to her teacher and demanded to know what happened. She said the teacher told her an official had come through that day to inspect students’ lunches and that those who were lacking certain food groups were sent to the cafeteria. After she received her cafeteria food, the teacher told Zambrano, Jazlyn was told to put her homemade lunch back in her lunchbox and set it on the floor.</b></span></div><div style="color: red;"><br />
</div><div style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>And in another case! </b></span></div><blockquote style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>State agent inspects sack lunches, forces preschoolers to purchase cafeteria food instead</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>RAEFORD — A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs — including in-home day care centers — to meet USDA guidelines. That means lunches must consist of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables, even if the lunches are brought from home.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>When home-packed lunches do not include all of the required items, child care providers must supplement them with the missing ones.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The girl’s mother — who said she wishes to remain anonymous to protect her daughter from retaliation — said she received a note from the school stating that students who did not bring a “healthy lunch” would be offered the missing portions, which could result in a fee from the cafeteria, in her case $1.25.</b></span></blockquote><div style="color: red;"><br />

If you believe in freedom and you want to be free - you need to understand that others have freedom as well. They have the freedom to do and say things that you don't approve of. And that includes how and what we and our children eat, smoke, drive and live. And if we want abortions or contraception's or whatever. We don't need Barack Obama or Moocheel to mandate anything we do. <br />
When Michelle Obama told us we needed to eat healthy food, I didn’t care until they started replacing the lunches I had packed for my child and telling me what I should give my child to eat. </b></span><br />

OR IS IT ROAST?<h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name">

</div>
<strong>This artical by </strong><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/wonder_land.html?mod=WSJ_topnav_na_opinion"><strong>DANIEL HENNINGER</strong></a><strong> is very intuitive.</strong><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">If
next year the American people pull the plug on the Obama presidency,
mark down the past week as the beginning of the end . . . and what looks
like the real beginning of Tim Pawlenty's candidacy.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br />
</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">Incumbency
isn't merely a function of political inevitability but of the fact that
a presidency commands potent tools of self-restoration. Barack Obama's
decision to kill Osama bin Laden was one such weapon. But we now see
that this welcome May Surprise was insufficient to thwart the one force
bigger than the American presidency—the U.S. economy. As of this week,
it's looking like a long mudslide through the economy to November 2012.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">The
Washington Post/ABC poll out Tuesday reported that the bin Laden uptick
in approval for the president has washed away already; some 59% profess
disdain for the president's mishandling of the economy. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br />
</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">The
catalyst was last Friday's depressing numbers on new job creation.
Instead of the 175,000 new May jobs some economists thought they saw in
their liquid crystal algorithms, only 54,000 jobs materialized in the
real world. As bad, the Case-Shiller index revealed a bad housing market
getting worse. Also as bad, most leading economic indicators appeared
to be leading from behind. The stock market, the last redoubt of the
optimists, is going south.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">Austan
Goolsbee, the president's top economic adviser, used the Sunday morning
platforms to argue that the "variable" jobs numbers were "bumps on the
road to recovery." Pro-administration analysts, including Mr. Obama
himself, argued that the economy was battling tough but temporary
"headwinds" such as Asian tsunamis or Midwest tornadoes that disrupt
supply chains. In defense of the integrity of the government's data
gatherers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics put out a statement that "We
found no clear impact of the disasters on the national employment and
unemployment data for May."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">Barack
Obama's worst week was about more than bad data. The two great
legislative monuments to the first Obama term, the remaking of the
health-care industry and the Dodd-Frank financial reform, look like
they've got serious structural cracks. A McKinsey report estimates that a
third of employers will abandon their health-insurance plans come 2014.
On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that the failure (or
inability) of Dodd-Frank's regulatory arm to write new rules for the
$583 trillion derivatives market has the financial sector in a panic
over its legal exposure.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">The
worst was yet to come: Mr. Goolsbee announced he was departing the
White House for the irresistible pull of academic tenure. What this
signifies is that Mr. Goolsbee, a reputable economist, knows that in
terms of economic policy, the Obama armory is empty. From within the
exclusively demand-side context of the president's economic policy,
there are no more bullets in the carbines. This president is now
virtually defenseless against the inexorable forces of the U.S. economy.
All that's left is whatever comes of Ben Bernanke's 30 months of
close-to-zero interest rates atop two Quantitative Easings, the greatest
untested economics experiment in the history of the world.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">No
wonder Tim Pawlenty is smiling. Amid a news cycle whose message is
"nothing's working," Mr. Pawlenty delivered a major speech on economic
policy whose title could have been: All the Things Barack Obama Has Not
Tried to Do to Lift the Economy and Never Will. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br />
</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">Whether
Gov. Pawlenty's prescriptions—dramatically lower individual and
corporate taxes, zero taxes on capital gains and dividends, sunset
provisions for federal regulations and a growth-rate target of 5%—are
provable as solutions is politically beside the point at this moment. As
substantive brand differentiation, the Pawlenty speech was a success.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">There
is, however, a serious policy implication inside the Pawlenty
proposals. We are heading toward an election fought over the economy.
That's good because ultimately this means the subject is growth. The one
consensus that exists across the political spectrum is that strong
economic growth eases many problems—from the entitlement burden to the
tragedy of high youth unemployment. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br />
</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">The
battle will be fought over economic growth and how we get it—Obama's
way or something close to the opposite of Obama's way. On one hand is
Barack Obama's government-led "investment" mix, embedded with spending
raised to 24% of GDP. On the other is the alternative GOP vision, which
is starting to gel.</span></span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/" name="U5024251666611IC"></a><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">The
Washington Post this week ran a long article to prove (and lament) that
the GOP's "anti-tax orthodoxy goes deep." But why stop there? Add to
this the tea party's anti-spending orthodoxy. Now virtually all
Republican candidates agree that the public sector's contribution to
growth is to cut spending, while tax cuts should be used to rediscover
the private sector. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br />
</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: yellow;">This
"orthodoxy" informs John Boehner's insistence that any increase in the
debt ceiling be matched by real spending cuts. It informs black
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's withering, and
increasingly effective, rhetorical assault on Mr. Obama's obliviousness
to the needs of the private sector. Like Gov. Pawlenty, Mr. Cain also
would eliminate the capital gains tax and cut others to enhance business
formation. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Reprise Script"; font-size: 16pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: red;">Barack
Obama will have better weeks than this. On the available evidence,
however, the trend lines for politics and the economy are becoming
clearer every day.</span></span>California Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17276263582199917646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938927821550965237.post-63896469166315189702012-01-29T08:32:00.000-08:002012-01-29T08:46:21.044-08:00Don't tell me about the Peaceful Occupy Protesters!<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Those Peaceful </b><b>Oakland Occupy Protesters Storm City Hall, and Burn the American Flag…</b></span><br />
<h2><span style="font-size: large;"><b>About 300 people were arrested Saturday during a chaotic day of Occupy protests that saw demonstrators break into City Hall and burn an American flag, as police earlier fired tear gas and bean bags to disperse hundreds of people after some threw rocks and bottles and tore down fencing outside a nearby convention center.</b> </span></h2><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dozens of police officers remained on guard outside City Hall around midnight following the most turbulent day of protests since November, when Oakland police forcefully dismantled an Occupy encampment. An exasperated Mayor Jean Quan, who faced heavy criticism for the police action last fall, called on the Occupy movement to “stop using Oakland as its playground.”</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>“People in the community and people in the Occupy movement have to stop making excuses for this behavior,” Quan said.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Protesters clashed with police throughout the day, at times throwing rocks, bottles and other objects at officers. And police responded by deploying smoke, tear gas and bean bag rounds, City Administrator Deanna Santanta said.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">“These demonstrators stated their intention was to provoke officers and engage in illegal activity and that’s exactly what has occurred today,” Santana said</span>.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">“Just remember, the higher a monkey climbs on a pole, the more you can see his butt,” Axelrod said, citing a piece of political wisdom he said he learned from a Chicago alderman. “So, the speaker is very high on the pole right now and we’ll see how people like the view.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Mr. Axelrod fits in perfectly with the rest of Obama's name calling bunch. But to tell you the truth, I'd personally even vote for the monkey before I'd vote for Obama.</b></span><br />

<div id="entryhead" style="color: black;"><div class="blog-byline">By <a href="http://www.blogger.com/jennifer-rubin/2011/02/24/ABbIUXN_page.html" rel="author">Jennifer Rubin</a></div></div> A growing number of Israelis and foreign Jewish groups are expressing concern over the anti-Semitic flavor of some of the “Occupy Wall St.” economic protests in the US. . . . <br />
<br />
In Los Angeles, California, protester Patricia McAllister, who identified herself as an employee of the Los Angeles Unified School District (we can only hope she is not an educator), had this to say:<br />
<br />
“I think that the Zionist Jews, who are running these big banks and our Federal Reserve, which is not run by the federal government… they need to be run out of this country.”<br />
<br />
On the American Nazi Party website, leader Rocky Suhayda voiced support for “Occupy Wall St.” and asked, “Who hold the wealth and power in this country? The Judeo-Capitalists. Who is therefore the #1 enemy who makes this filth happen? The Judeo-Capitalists.”<br />
<br />
One of [the] people reportedly responsible for organizing the “Occupy Wall St.” protests, Adbusters editor Kalle Lasn, has a history of perpetuating conspiracy theories that say the Jews control America’s foreign policies.<br />
<br />
Back in New York, another protester insisted that “a small ethnic group constitutes almost all of the hedge fund managers and bankers on Wall St. They are all Jewish. There is a conspiracy in this country where Jews control the media, finances… They have pooled their money together in order to take control of America.”<br />
<br />
This does not mean all or even most of the OWS protesters are anti-Semitic, but the prominent liberal leaders who have shown sympathy for their cause have failed to speak out, as have the other elements within the group. Israel Today reports: “More than the few Occupy Wall St. anti-Semites themselves, it is the lack of a clear and firm repudiation of their hateful rhetoric by the mainstream American media and political leaders that has a growing number of Israelis and Jews on edge.”California Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17276263582199917646noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3938927821550965237.post-38578809567961524062011-10-18T06:33:00.000-07:002011-10-18T06:33:52.864-07:00Barack Obama to Republicans: : 'You think we're stupid?'Thinking that reporters were out of the room, President Obama opened up Thursday night about the recent budget talks with Republicans and what he called their efforts to sneak in attacks on Planned Parenthood and his health care bill.<br />
"I said (to Republicans), 'You want to repeal health care? Go at it,' " Obama told backers in a private meeting with an open microphone.<br />
" 'We'll have that debate. You're not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget.' "<br />
He said he added: "You think we're stupid?"<br />
<br />
But I I think it's the other way around, he thinks that we are stupid! As Forest Gump put it "Stupid is as Stupid does"<br />

<br />
Just last week, the Senate blocked the president’s $447 billion package of new spending and extended tax cuts, so Democratic leaders plan to break it into individual bills, each paid for with a small surtax on taxpayers making $1 million or more. That would frame the choice as one among public employees, construction workers and the jobless on one hand, and the wealthy on the other.<br />

<b>The only Job Obama should be trying to save is his own.</b><br />

<b>And boy is he ever!</b><br />
