President Obama in Springfield, OH - Full - November 2nd, 2012



Very clear here. And the crowd is great! Enjoy!



November 4, 2012

Living in a blue state, we vote in the privacy of our own homes and mail it in. With a ballot

Information pamphlet the size of some publications, all sides covered, rebuttals, rebuttals to rebuttals. We are sent ballots to vote on everything, several times a year. Still we have the Rove and Koch monies coming in, the dark money, and they have talk radio.

Florida has been through hell, I'm not sure what the issue was that got Scott in there, but what a tragic thing to elect (if there weren't shenanigans) that crook. Was that duriing a bad hurricane year?

Hoping for Florida to get blue, stay blue and stay involved. it's not just every 4 years, everyone of those people standing there need to make a commitment if they can, to stay as involved as the pukes have been on every level of Florida governance. Let them see Democrats every time they turn around, let them hear that we are learning and listening.

This is going to be a long process to bring Florida and the other states back. I hope that Obama wins and you guys make your voices heard for the next twenty years. The pukes like Nordquist have this mapped out. We let them have it, then America is pretty done:

All we have to do is replace Obama. ... We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ... We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate.

Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.
~ Grover Nordquist

Think of ALEC, all the legislation that has hurt us in every state and they want to nationalize it so there's no escape.

Waitng:

Waiting for Godot follows a pair of men who divert themselves while waiting expectantly, vainly for someone named Godot to arrive. They claim he's an acquaintance but in fact hardly know him, admitting that they would not recognize him when they do see him. To occupy the time they eat, sleep, converse, argue, sing, play games, exercise, swap hats, and contemplate suicide – anything "to hold the terrible silence at bay".

Dammit, where's my socialist utopia? I vote for it every year!

Waiting, waiting...

My condolences. I have one teabagger relation. Madder than The Hatter in Alice in Wonderland.

Now frothing at the mouth in Glennbeckistan. Sigh...

UAW Files Charges Against Romney on his Auto Bail-out Profiteering



“While Romney was opposing the rescue of one of the nation’s most important manufacturing sectors, he was building his fortunes with his Delphi investor group, making his fortunes off the misfortunes of others,” King added.

The Romneys' gigantic windfall was hidden inside an offshore corporation inside a Limited Partnership inside a trust which both concealed the gain and reduces taxes on it.

The Romneys' windfall was originally exposed in Nation Magazine, Mitt Romney's Bail-out Bonanza after a worldwide investigation by our crew at The Guardian, the Nation Institute and the Palast Investigative Fund. (Ed. - The full story of Romney and his "vulture fund" partners is in Palast's New York Times bestseller, Billionaires & Ballot Bandits.)


This video comes from the Greg Palast website which includes a link on the righhand side to download a leaflet called '7 Ways to Beat the Ballot Bandits.'

This is being noted on numerous threads and is now getting more media attention:
