...the son of a Cuban immigrant is not just called anti-immigration, but anti-Latino. And this time it�s not Charlie Crist who sets himself up as the arbiter of Hispanic authenticity, but the debate moderator.

Funny how we are only hearing about this from the British press. As of this hour there is still nary a peep about this in the mainstream US media.

(Perhaps they don�t want to remind the voters about Mr. Obama�s accomplishments in foreign affairs, with the elections only two weeks away.)

And what does this say about how the Russians view Mr. Obama and the US in general, that they are willing to humiliate him and us this way?

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance," said Franklin D. Roosevelt at the start of his First Inaugural Address.

"Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we're hard-wired not to always think clearly when we're scared," Barack Obama said at a Boston fund-raiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee over the weekend. "The country is scared."

...FDR's appeal was to the common man; he aimed to offer encouragement to the entire nation in the midst of a depression. Obama's appeal was to fellow politicians and well-heeled donors.
...
Not only has Obama failed to get the jobs back, he blew more than $800 billion of taxpayer money in the process, and forced through what promises to be a ruinous health-care law while he was at it. It's true that fear is driving voters away from Obama and his. But it's entirely rational to fear people who, armed with the power of the state, cannot be dissuaded from doing terribly destructive things because they are absolutely confident that they have "facts and science and argument" on their side.

Since taking control of Congress less than four years ago, Democrats have added $4.992 trillion to the national debt.
...
...it would be more fair to look at the entirety of Republican control of the House, which lasted 12 years and bridged the Clinton and Bush administrations. In that entire span, Republican budgets added $3.873 trillion to the national debt. That is not only far below what Democrats have added in just one-third of the time, it�s also far below the Obama administration�s own projections of how much they will add to the national debt in just one term.

"This is a threat to our democracy." -- Barack Hussein Obama

Democratic House and Senate candidates have received twice as much money from PACs tied to foreign corporations as have Republican candidates.
...
�This is not foreign money per-se, but these PACs are certainly populated by people who work for foreign companies.� -- Dave Levinthal of the Center for Responsive Politics

Brad Woodhouse, who is engineering the campaign to hit the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for not fully disclosing its donor list, and for using this mystery money to fund attack ads on Democrats in an election year, himself used to run a PAC that did not fully disclose its donor list, and that used this mystery money to fund attack ads on Republicans.
