What Karl Rove’s right wing pet smear company didn’t tell you is is this…

The Republicans were the main problem in keeping jobs from Americans.

They focused on bills to…

  1. Ban abortion
  2. Break down unions
  3. Defund Planned Parenthood
  4. Defund EPA
  5. Defund NPR and PBS
  6. Blocking the debt ceiling from being raised

Guess Karl Rove wouldn’t tell you all that, otherwise his political ad would be shown to be 100% false.

NRA Sues Obama Administration Over Guns

Why does this not surprise me?

Seriously, NRA? Obama and his administration are trying to solve and stop the ATF controversy, and you are claiming that he and his administration is violating the Constitution?

You have the freedom to sue whomever you want to, but sometimes, that freedom includes the privilege for the rest of us for you to shut up!

You had absolutely no problem with what went on until Obama got in the picture.

Now, people are coming out of the woodworks to criticize him? PLEASE!!

The presidency travels with you.
Jay Carney, White House press secretary • Defending Obama’s vacation plans. The president is still heading to Martha’s Vineyard, despite the economic picture of America. After Standard & Poor’s downgrading of America’s credit rating, should Obama be taking this vacation? Or is a family vacation now more important than ever? Whatever the case may be, it’s not like Obama hasn’t sacrificed time off for the sake of the country already. Last year, he took part of his vacation in Pensacola, Fla. in an effort to draw attention to the Gulf Oil Spill. And he’s already called off multiple vacations this year as a result of budget negotiations. source (via • follow)

How You Can Fight for the Truth

America is still a great place to live — we’ve just lost our way, misled by Republicans and Democrats alike. If you’re fed up with the way things are and you want to make a real change, don’t buy into the hype around political parties. Political parties are like unions: They do the absolute minimum to keep constituents happy while doing everything they can to raise money and hold on to power.

In the days of the Internet and free-flowing information, there is never a good reason to vote along party lines. Vote for the best man or woman — he or she might be a Democrat, Republican or independent. When people say things that make you uncomfortable, they might be onto something and are at least worth listening to.

Bill Bernbach, one of America’s most innovative businessmen, used to carry a slip of paper in his pocket. It read: “Maybe he’s right.”
