"UNEXPECTED": Yet another downward revision of GDP confirms we're now in year four of the Obama Depression

Who would you believe? A man whose ads never refer to his track record -- or your lying eyes?

On Thursday, the Department of Commerce revised its second quarter estimate of economic growth (in terms of real gross domestic product, or GDP) down to 1.3 percent from 1.7 percent... Anything less than a 2 percent rate of growth is more typical of an economy wilting toward recession than an economy recovering from a recession...

Indeed, bad policies emanating from Washington are creating an environment where recession is more and more likely.


...Taxmageddon, a $500 billion tax increase, waits in 2013 if Congress and President Obama fail to act. The Heritage Foundation has argued that uncertainty associated with Taxmageddon is already dissuading businesses from investing in capital goods and hiring new workers. Domestic uncertainty is compounded by uncertainty about the future of Europe.

Confirming our analysis, the Census Bureau measured a 13 percent fall in new durable goods orders in separate data released Thursday. Orders of aircrafts fell sharply, leading an overall decline in investment.

Reagan inherited a far worse situation from Carter than Obama did. Inflation was nearing 20 percent. Unemployment was headed for double digits. Tax rates were crushing the private sector. And within two-and-a-half years -- working with a Democrat Congress -- Reagan had turned the entire economy around.

Obama's priority, on the other hand, was passing massive government programs: from housing "relief", to Obamacare, to cap-and-trade, to financial "reform", to a takeover of the student loan industry, to gutting welfare's work requirements, to expanding the food stamp state, and so on. He paid as much attention to his "Jobs Council" as he did to the bipartisan Deficit Commission. Which is to say: none.

Obama's priority isn't recovery. It's control. Control over you, the individual.

We have one chance to turn this mess around, and it comes on the first Tuesday in November. Tell everyone you know. This is it. It's the Superbowl for America.


AT LAST: President Obama Draws Red Line for Iran

Of course, it's not one that inhibits Iran's nuclear ambitions.


Reelection -- not national security -- appears to be the president's only priority, which helps explain the serial leaks coming from the administration.


EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: President Obama, Attorney General Holder and Secretary of State Clinton Announce Arrest of Blasphemer

The producer of the anti-Islam film "The Innocence of Muslims" was arrested in Los Angeles Thursday.


For "probation violations", of course, in a hearing closed to the media and public.

We have our marching orders, you and I: the president himself announced at the United Nations this week that "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.."

First Amendment? Never heard of it.


FUN FOR INFIDELS OF ALL AGES: It's the Obama Word-Search Game!


Send this word-search game to children and Democrats -- but I repeat myself -- as a reminder of President SCOAMF's many achievements over the last four years.

SCUM OF THE EARTH: AP and Reuters Hit Bottom, Dig

Every time you think antique media has hit bottom, it breaks out the jackhammer and pounds out a new sub-basement.

Two shocking photos coming off the wire of Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the United Nations moments ago.


The first is from the Associated Press... The second is from Reuters.

Of the hundreds of professional photos taken at this speech, the AP and Reuters decided to push these onto the wire.

Indeed. Because these were the most offensive photos they could find.

Media extremists? What media extremists?


ACLU: Bush administration quadrupled warrantless wiretaps. Just kidding. It was Obama and Holder.

Gee, and all this time I thought Democrats hated wiretaps and warrantless surveillance. The ACLU reports:

Justice Department documents released today by the ACLU reveal that federal law enforcement agencies are increasingly monitoring Americans’ electronic communications, and doing so without warrants, sufficient oversight, or meaningful accountability.


...The reports show a dramatic increase in the use of ... surveillance tools, which are used to gather information about telephone, email, and other Internet communications. The revelations underscore the importance of regulating and overseeing the government’s surveillance power.

...During that same time period, the number of people whose telephones were the subject of pen register and trap and trace surveillance more than tripled. In fact, more people were subjected to pen register and trap and trace surveillance in the past two years than in the entire previous decade...


...During the past two years, there has also been an increase in the number of pen register and trap and trace orders targeting email and network communications data. While this type of Internet surveillance tool remains relatively rare, its use is increasing exponentially... Earlier this year, the New York Times reported that cellphone carriers received 1.3 million demands for subscriber information in 2011 alone...

But, but, but... Bush! Cheney! Halliburton!

Let me guess: Fox News personalities, conservative talk show hosts, bloggers and others who oppose this administration's politics are among those who have been targeted.

I'm so nostalgic. I remember when dissent was patriotic.

This administration needs to go.



SCANDAL: Bumper Sticker o' the Day

Our prestigious Bumper Sticker o' the Day award goes to iOwnTheWorld for this gem:


This a full-fledged scandal.

And even collectible media -- including The Washington Post and The New York Times has been forced to cover it.

An Ambassador and three other Americans are dead. And everything the Obama administration told us about the disastrous terror attack in Benghazi was a lie.


And now, a public service message from Obamaphone

The following is a public service message from ObamaPhone.


Yes, everybody in Cleveland who's a minority got an Obama phone!


Keep Obama in President, you know!


He gave us a phone!


He gonna do more!


You shine up, if you on food stamps, you on social security, you got low income, you disability...


Romney? He sucks! Bad.

Chart: The [holding two fingers up] recovery

We've been reading about the "recovery" ever since Barack Obama took office. For most Americans, however, the recovery has yet to materialize. Cafe Hayek relays the following chart from the St. Louis Fed:


In [an] interview I did with John Taylor, he pointed out that the ratio of employment to population hadn’t rebounded at all in the current recovery. How common is that? Here is data from FRED that looks at the ratio of employment to population. You have to go back to the recession of the early 1960′s (and it wasn’t much of a recession) to see anything like the lack of rebound.

The gray periods are recessions. The ratio usually rebounds sharply in the recovery. But not for this one...

Question for you drones: what makes you think that after three-and-a-half years of this miserable failure on the employment front that things are going to get better?

Here's a hint: with 2013's fiscal cliff, the deficit cliff, and the Obamacare cliff, things are about to get decidedly worse if this disastrous administration is returned to office.

QOTD: "6) The avalanche of negativity spewing from the liberal media can be discouraging to conservatives, but the liberal media have steadily lost clout over the past 20 years, and the alternative conservative media have never been more robust. Not only are the liberal media less powerful but also conservative talk show hosts, bloggers, tweeters, columnists and Fox News react with lightning speed to counter every single lie they promulgate.

7) The polls can be discouraging, too, but we’ve seen this in previous elections. Some pollsters showing Obama significantly ahead have a dubious history of distortion and have used their polls to manipulate instead of report public opinion. Most polls showing Obama ahead are either oversampling Democrats (using 2008 as a model instead of more recent elections) or understating Romney’s lead among independents. The Weekly Standard reports that through 2004, every incumbent whose Gallup approval rating was less than 50 percent at this point — as is Obama’s — lost. In Ohio, thousands more Republicans have ordered absentee ballots than Democrats. Also, I’m skeptical that all poll respondents are being completely candid in their positive responses about Obama for fear of being accused of racism or of being out of step with the manufactured media narrative that Obama is a likable person.

8) Obama is having some difficulty with his base, which is why his campaign is increasingly desperate and shrill. Some blacks are so angry over his liberal social views they may stay home. Some Jews are awakening to Obama’s mistreatment of Israel. If Obama were so confident, he wouldn’t be so flagrantly neglecting his official duties to feverishly campaign." --David Limbaugh

BUT THEY'LL DO BETTER WITH THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM: Postal Service to File For Second Default in Two Months

But I'm sure they'll do a much better job with 16 percent of the entire economy, i.e., the country's health care system:

Postal Service Prepares for Second Default in Two Months


The U.S. Postal Service will default this week on a $5.6 billion congressionally mandated obligation to pre-fund retiree health benefits, marking the second time in two months the cash-strapped agency has done this.

The Postal Service last month failed to pay $5.5 billion for its fiscal 2011 prepayment obligation, which originally was due in September 2011 but was deferred by Congress until Aug. 1. That was the first time it ever defaulted on a payment to the Treasury Department. The $5.6 billion due this week, on Sept. 30, represents this fiscal year’s obligation.

Before this year, Congress helped USPS defer pre-funding payments required by a 2006 congressional mandate. Postal reform has challenged this Congress. Lawmakers warn that when they revisit the issue after the November election they likely won’t reach agreement on as major an overhaul as some deem necessary. USPS lost $5.2 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, $2.1 billion more than during the same time period in 2011.

Let me get this straight. The federal government's recent track record, just off the top of my head, is as follows:

• Medicare is bankrupt and headed for collapse in just six or seven years.

• Social Security is bankrupt and headed for collapse in the next 18 years.

• Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac went bust in 2008, taking with it the entire housing sector.

• The Postal Service can't adjust to the digital age and is hemorrhaging cash like a giant version of Solyndra.

But Obamacare will be the first government program of its size -- in fact, the biggest government program in world history -- to succeed?

You have to have a serious mental disorder to believe that. Or be a hard-core Democrat. Not that I'm sure there's a difference at this point.

SHOCK POLL: Obama Up 99 points over Romney in Latest CNN-NYT-Zogby-NBC-Dreamworks Survey

The ludicrous Jan Crawford -- if that is her real name -- hardest hit:

CRAWFORD: Both candidates are focused on Ohio this week. It is getting tough here for Mitt Romney. Our latest poll now shows the president is up by 10 points. The poll shows the president also has a significant lead with women voters in all three of those swing states that we surveyed. But here in Ohio the president is up by 25 points with women voters. Now, today Romney will be focused on the economy. That's an issue that's been the cornerstone of his campaign, but there's trouble in our poll there for Romney, too! In our poll, for the first time, the president has taken a lead on that key issue in all three states.


RUSH: That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? Obama's ahead by 25 points with women in Ohio, and is finally taking a lead over Romney on the economy. Yeah, 'cause the economy's gotten so much better in the last week. If it's this good for Obama, I have a bunch of questions, but one central question: Why is he there? Why is he campaigning in Ohio today? If it's that wrapped up and he's got a 10-point lead, why is he there? Why not go to some other state where it's not that big a lead?

Exactly. Obama is in Ohio because he's in trouble in Ohio.

Rasmussen August 31st: Latest national party affiliation, Republicans up four over Democrats. That's never reflected in any poll. If, by the way, you do that, if you take all these polls and you change the samples... Some guy did this at Unskewed Polls or some such thing the other day. It's been all over the Internet. If you do this, if you take every one of these polls and you exchange the sample for what Rasmussen found?

You find Romney up by anywhere from six to nine points, and in some cases ten points. That's if you use an accurate sample of Republicans and Democrats as reflected by Rasmussen's party affiliation reported on August 31st.

Vintage media wants the American people to surrender. And this we will not do.

This election is just as much about defeating old media as it is defeating the Statist Obama agenda. Voting Democrats out of office at every level of government therefore is a two-fer.

I can't wait to flip from ABC to CBS to NBC to MSNBC to CNN on election eve, just to watch the expressions on their faces. It's gonna be great. I've got the DVR cued up and the popcorn ready.


2010 IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE A WARM-UP: Media skewing polls by double digits to make up for Obama enthusiasm gap

Call it the Obama reality deficit. The highlights of a roundup from Nice Deb should warm the cockles of your heart:

• Dick Morris: "I can’t predict what will happen November 6th, [but] if the Election was held today Romney Would Win by 4-5 Points. ... People need to understand that the polling this year is the worst it's ever been... this is the first election that where if I tell you who's going to vote, I can tell you how they're going to vote... and I'll be right two out of three times. Therefore, the issue is who is going to vote. Polling is very good at saying how you're going to vote, it's very bad at say who's going to vote. The models these folks are using are crazy. They're using a Democrat edge of six or seven points... I'm assuming a three point Democrat edge and even that is likely overstated. ...The people are overwhelming concluding that this guy isn't up to being President, and the media is trying to convince us [otherwise]."

• John Giokaris of Townhall: "The liberal mainstream media and blogosphere are desperately trying to write Romney’s funeral using polls that oversample Democrats by as much a D+10, D+11 and D+13. In 2008, an historic election wave for Democrats, the electorate was D+7. In 2004, when George W. Bush won re-election, the electorate was evenly split. In other words, D+0. So was the 2010 midterm election: evenly split. The Democrat share of the electorate is not going to double this year. Given the well-noted enthusiasm edgefor Republicans this year, the electorate is going to be far closer to the 2004 and 2010 models than 2008. Any poll trying to replicate the 2008 is going to artificially inflate Obama’s support."

• Brian Cates of Draw and Strike: "...in 2008, Democrats DID outvote Republicans by +7. That was a historic wave election for the Democratic party; you’d have to go back decades to find another election where Democrats outvoted Republicans by anything like that kind of number. Usually the partisan split between Dems and Repubs is pretty damn close, and if it’s not tied within the margin of error, it’s between a +1 or a +3 advantage to whichever party gets the upper hand. So +7 was pretty damn eye-opening in 2008... Despite the fact that a lot has changed since 2008, many of these MSM pollsters are using a 2008 template for their polls... However, all the signs point to a big REPUBLICAN voter enthusiasm advantage in this election."

• John Nolte of Big Journalism: "If you’re going to believe the polls released from CBS/New York Times this morning — you know, the polls the media’s currently using to beat Romney senseless and to depress Republican enthusiasm, you have to believe that the turnout advantage for Democrats over Republicans will blow away every previous record and common sense."

• Jay Cost of The Weekly Standard confirms: "Yes, Most Polls (The Ones The Media Prefers) Are Giving Obama a Phantom 3-4 Point Edge"

Nice Deb herself observes: "They’re trying to wrap this up before the debates even start, because I think they’re worried about the debates. I think they’re trying to get this election finished and in the can by suppressing your vote and depressing you so that you just don’t think there’s any reason to vote, that it’s hopeless. They want you making other plans... Open your eyes – it’s beyond obvious, now what they are doing."

That, my friends, is the critical point: Democrats are scared to death of the public reality check represented by the debates, as I wrote in "IT'S OVER: The Left's Information Warfare Campaign Has Failed -- and Mitt Romney is Going to Win This Election":

Obama without TOTUS is like Joe Biden without the hair-plugs. Romney has been tempered through the fires of a dozen, hard-core, debate melees.

And Obama has had precisely zero debates and, for that matter, hasn't even entertained a serious interview in years. Without practice -- and with his increasingly questionable work ethic -- I have a prediction to make:

Obama is going to stumble in these debates. He will stumble badly. And he will reveal himself.

Furthermore, when you come right down to it, he's an easy mark. He has a record he must try to defend. And that record is downright ugly. He can blame Bush, Tsunamis, ATMs and the Euro for all of his failures, but if he tries, he'll sound even more like an unpresidential loser than usual.

The combination of being confronted with his failures -- one after the other, with no real way to spin or lie without blatantly appearing as a charlatan -- along with his documented case of Aggressive Narcissism results in my Lock o' the Week prognostication:

Obama will seriously stumble in these debates. It will be cringe-worthy.

Write it down. Take it to the bank. This is going to be fun.


BUMBLER-IN-CHIEF: ‘I Want to See Us Export More Jobs’

Of course he does. Each of our 57 states must export more jobs, according to the smartest man ever to serve as president, although we can't be sure just how much of a genius he is because his college transcripts are unavailable.

Obama misspeaks: "I want to see us export more jobs"


Speaking at Kent State University in Ohio on Wednesday, President Obama misspoke, stating, "I want to see us export more jobs." Quickly correcting his remark to be, "export more products," he joked, "I was channeling my opponent there for a second."

In fact, if you listen to the recording, he says, "Actually, I - I - I - I - I - I was channeling my opponent there for a second."

Maybe we should have a Navy corpse-man check him out.

Yet another reason that SCOAMF is the quintessential description of First Air Marshal Obama, the failiest man ever to serve as President.

Jimmy Carter just breathed a huge sigh of relief.

QOTD: "Obama’s flawless pro-choice voting record earned him a 100 percent approval rating from Planned Parenthood, which remains one of the most powerful organizations in Democratic politics at both the state and local level.

Other Obama votes that would appear to put him outside the mainstream of majority opinion on hot-button issues include his record on criminal enforcement, which received far less attention despite stories on his potentially problematic record, most notably in The Hill newspaper.

Chicago is currently caught in its worst wave of gang-related violence in decades. Despite having some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, at least 240 people were shot dead in the first half of 2012 alone, a number far outpacing the number of Americans killed in combat in Afghanistan over the same period. Fatal stabbings, meanwhile, are up 78 percent since 2011." --Will Rahn and Vince Coglianese, Daily Caller
