Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
- Mark Twain, a Biography
DemagoguesDemocrats are obsessive about accusing Republicans of being heartless and cruel to anyone besides the rich. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) displayed a Democratic flaw, the dreaded LGCA (little gray cell anemia) on Fox And Friends with Gretchen Carlson. Ms. Carlson said the unemployment has increased since Obama took office. Ms. Wasserman Schultz told Ms. Carlson that the unemployment rate has not gone up since Obama became president and is going down. Ms. Carlson realized that the DNC Chairwoman was fact-impaired and tried to help her out by using a simple yes or no question, Has the unemployment rate gone up since Obama took office? Wasserman Schultz gave a very vague and evasive answer that unemployment was nearing the rate it was at when Obama took office. Here is the unemployment rate monthly since Obama took office.

Here's a video of Ms. Wasserman Schultz's misstatement of facts.
President Obama forgot (OOOOPPPPSSSS!!!) to mention GOD in his thanksgiving speech to the USA. Well, so what, when you consider the abuse he had to take from his 20 year pastor Jeremy Wright, maybe it was not so bad. WRONG!!! IF you want to lead a nation with the religious traditions of the USA you need to mention GOD in your speeches.
Occupy Chicago had a teach-in recently that was disrupted by Chicago Board of Trade employees. The CBOT employees dropped McDonald's employment applications of the teach-in participants. I personally found it very offensive. The politically correct thing to do would be to mix in applications for Wendy's, Pizza Hut, K-Mart and others. Interesting fact. One in eight Americans has been a McDonald's employee at one point in their lives.
On November 16, 2011, the patriotic millionaires for fiscal strength petitioned the super committee to raise the marginal tax rate on everyone earning one million dollars or more to 39.5 percent. Too bad none of them brought their checkbooks. I guess they plan to mail in their contributions to boost the bottom line of the USPS.
Here is a few words of sage advice for Barack "middle class warrior" Obama. Stop demagoguing the rich. Who do you think is funding your campaign? If you think you are the advocate of the lower and middle classes, Do your campaign dinners at $1000.00 a plate and up take the food stamp card for payment?? No, there's a good reason for that. All lower class income and most all middle class income people cannot afford such outrageous prices, no matter how much they support you. Please note that Mr. Johnson is only one of three millionaire democratic contributors to be interviewed for this video segment.
Someone videotaped Nancy Pelosi ranting at the GOP for their fiscal responsibility acts. This was a fund raiser on August 21, 2011. This was after Standard & Poor downgraded the USA's credit rating for the first time since 1917, when S&P first started coverage of the USA credit worthiness. I guess Ms. Pelosi was so busy teaching Girl Scouts how to camp or sell cookies to notice the downgrade. Either that or she does not care about passing $14+ trillion in debt on to the next generation(s) of Americans, i. e. our children.
