Obama ....we've come too far to turn back now ... But who needs to turn back when Romney can fix what's wrong.

The Obama campaign sensing that it's previous negative, personal attack advertising isn't resonating very well with voters on October 6th unveiled its new campaign theme about the economy with the "we've come too far to turn back now" missive.

My car stopped working the other day. All in all, even though I bought it used, it's a pretty good car and until now for just about the past 50,000 miles has gotten me where I wanted to be when I wanted to be there.

But the "service engine soon" light had been on for some time. Far, far longer than I really care to admit. I suppose I had my reasons for ignoring the warning for so long but in hindsight none of them were valid - I should have taken it to the garage.

So even though I'd like to go somewhere "forward"' I can't - at least not until the car is fixed.

Fortunately for me it finally stopped running just before the warranty was up.

The guys in the garage said the problem was a "piece of crap" alternator. 

They replaced the defective part with what they said was the best in the industry - solid, trustworthy and dependable - and promised that I wouldn't have anymore problems. 

After all, they said, it's still a pretty good car and got a lot of life in it. I've done business with those guys before and know that I can trust them.

My car, now repaired, is running fine once more. The "service engine soon" light's out too.

I don't think I'll ever ignore it again !

Obama's offended ? .... Hell, what about the rest of us !

In  last night's Presidential debate, Obama said that he found it "offensive" that anyone would suggest (dare) that either he or anyone on his team had lied about the Benghazi attack that left 4 Americans dead, "...That's not what we do. That's not what I do as President, that's not what I do as Commander in Chief."

Oh really ... Indignation coming from a proven liar ?

Well, Mr. President here's what I find offensive - you made a promise to govern all of us together, to start anew by throwing off the influence of paid lobbyists, to create a transparent government, and to bring us together to resolve our differences.

It's not just your critics who say you failed, you graded yourself a failure.

And when America desperately needed the leader you promised to be you failed in achieving anything close to the standards you yourself set. You drove a wedge deeper to divide us. You delivered to us instead a partisan ideologue - not a healer, not a reformer, not someone truly interested in the welfare of ALL Americans, but a guy who likes to make speeches filled will hollow promises.

What we got was Barack the perpetual fund raising campaigner, the partygoer, the golfer, the guy always on a family vacation, and the guy with a zillion "air miles" to and from God only knows where. 

Despite your protestations that "you work hard" what we do know is that you're not in Washington hard at work doing our business.

Your day and calendar might be occupied but you don't know what "hard work" is.

The rest of us do - our daily lives are harder, more difficult, filled with more stress and anxiety and worse now because of your failed, thoughtless policies and politics, and your overall ineptitude and incompetence as a leader.

When the rest of America has trouble putting 2 dimes together, you're living the high life at our expense on the public dime - only it's not pocket change you're diverting from our Treasury - your parties, your golfing, your family vacations, your travel, your entourage, your travel and accommodations, and your security  - all the personal perquisites you claim for yourself cost the rest of us 1.2 billion dollars a year !

Are you still tone deaf ? An astounding 1.2 billion a year for your larks !

All the while 23 million of the rest of us can't find good work and 47 million Americans depend upon food stamps to put food on the family table.

If I could have had any say whether that 1.2 billion was spent on coddling your ass, or having America's starving children go to bed with a full belly and warm roof over their heads - it'd be no contest.

No Obama ..... What's truly, truly offensive to me is  .... You !!!

CAUTION !!! ...... Student Driver Ahead !

Obama's terribly fond of using an automobile as a metaphor for his notions about how the economy took a nosedive and who bears responsibility. 

He sees himself as the driver behind the wheel pulling the economy out of the ditch. And he's not planning on giving the keys back to the GOP either, thank you !

Unfortunately for the rest of us, Obama, who only has his learner's permit, doesn't begin to comprehend he's got the gears stuck in neutral and that he's just spinning the wheels, making a lot of smoke and noise, AND despite his and liberal's protestations, the economy's still stuck in the ditch !

And just what the hell is a student driver doing in charge of the keys for the family car in the first place, anyway ?

When I get to Heaven .....

A prominent Washington politician dies and stands before St. Peter. While awaiting judgment he sees a staggering number of wall clocks; each with a name. His own shows the hands at quarter to 11:00.

The politician asks St. Peter what the clocks are about and St. Peter says, “They’re called “Liar’s Clocks” and each person has one. We use them”, he explains, “to help decide whether a person goes to Hell or Heaven.”.

“How much the hands advance is determined by how frequently you lied and how significant the lies were. That’s Mother Teresa’s clock and the hands have never moved. Yours on the other hand is about typical for a politician.”

Curious, the politician says, “I don’t see Obama’s clock, where’s his?”

“Oh, that one,” says St. Peter, “is in another office.....Jesus is using it as a ceiling fan !!!”.

Liberals have really gotten creative of late, twisting themselves into rhetorical and intellectual pretzels in their efforts to downplay and dismiss Obama’s monumental penchant for deception.

But Obama himself shows what a load of BS their explanations are. The unvarnished truth is and has been - Obama lies by design and for effect !

“I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different stripes project their own views. As such, I am bound to disappoint some, if, not all of them.” – Barack Obama, The Economist interview - Aug 23rd 2008

Yeah, right...of course, it's their fault anyway !!! ... No really, we understand, you couldn’t have ever possibly said anything that would have appealed to, or falsely encouraged their expectations.

If you have your health .... You have everything !

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. 

Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.  

I said to him, “Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break”? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.

I called him a “Jackass”. He glared at me and wrote another ticket for worn tires.  

So I called him a “Doughnut Eating Pig.”   He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. 

Then he wrote a third ticket. 

The more I verbally abused him the more tickets he wrote.  This went on for about 20 minutes.  

Personally, I didn't care. 

I'm retired and don't own a car - I came downtown on the bus.   

The car he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, “I LUV OBAMA !".

How do I spend my time these days now that I'm retired ???

I try to have a little fun each day.

My doctor says it's important for my health !

Joe Biden for President ! .....

No doubt this morning many progressive Democrats are thinking about last night's vice-presidential debate along those lines - they're wondering is it really too late to swap out Obama as the presidential candidate with Biden in his place?

Biden, having won the debate, in a perverse way though has actually hurt Obama's re-election prospects.

The job last night for the vice-presidential contenders was to bolster their respective bosses'  likelihood of becoming the next president. Not to eclipse them.

Ryan got by and that's about it - neither helping and importantly for Romney not hurting him.

But the more left wing Democrats gloat over Biden "having knocked it out of the park" and having "buried Ryan" only serves to remind voters of the stark contrast of Obama's pitiful performance in the first debate - leaving even the most casually informed among them to come to the realization that Joe "the gaffe clown" might actually be a better candidate than Obama.

And Romney, for the time being, shines on.

Talk about a painful irony for liberal Democrats !

Lingering Libyan Questions …. Ambassador Stevens’ murder in Benghazi

"You didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. You elected me to tell you the truth."-- President Obama at the Democratic National Convention, Sept. 6

Yeah, when do we get the truth … after the election?

“Cover-ups are initiated to protect someone at the top not someone at the bottom. (ca)” – K.T. MacFarland, national security expert, comparing the Watergate cover-up to the Obama Administration.

Obama’s Lip Service …. Women’s Issues.

Want more proof that Obama doesn’t really give a crap about women but just panders to them for their votes?

The Veterans Affairs Department reports that male soldiers rape their female counterparts in all branches of the armed services at about 1 in every 5 – meaning an estimated 20,000 women in the military are raped each year according to the Pentagon.

Secretary of Defense Panetta calls it a silent epidemic. Could it possibly be "silent" because the military has little recourse for victims to seek redress or justice ? As female service members put it "you're stuck in the service with no one to turn to for help" and if disclosed, "there's hell to pay".

Really Sec. Panetta, a silent epidemic ? All this felonious sexual assault against America’s daughters, sisters, nieces , aunts, wives and mothers serving their country in uniform - 54 rapes each and every day, 1 rape every 26 minutes and it’s a “silent” epidemic? 

How about a massive coverup for a political problem that the Obama Administration would rather just go away.

And Why? Who would stand for this intolerable condition in their own community? 

As it turns out - Liberal, Progressive America and Obama would.

In the rest of our country, in communities nationwide more than 1 rape takes place every single minute !!! And who runs America's largest cities ? Liberal progressives.

But Obama has more direct influence and control as an individual over the US military than any other single person does over any other American community. Yet, in 4 years what’s Obama as Commander in Chief done about it? In what tangible way has he exercised his authority and power to stop it? Has he publicly spoken out against it? Initiated any program to prevent it? Or, has he and his administration instead sought to keep this outrage in the military community from being publicized?

And as President what’s Obama and his administration done about the much, much larger issue of sexual assault against women in the United States ? 

If it’s an epidemic in the military then as a national atrocity 18 times larger, it’s a wildfire contagion throughout the rest of America!

And where are the Obama initiatives to combat it? They’re not even on the radar.

Obama isn’t deserving of a vote from women – he’s deserving of their contempt!

Obama, the Black Muslim …. Rah! Rah! Rah!

At a recent Washington DC concert singer Madonna proclaimed, "Y'all better vote for fucking Obama, OK? For better or for worse, we have a black Muslim in the White House."  "That's some amazing shit. It means there is hope in this country."

As part of her testimonial, Madonna took her shirt off and pulled her pants down to reveal "OBAMA" was written on her backside.

According to a July 2012 PEW research report 17% of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim. Apparently Madonna is one of them. 

Democrats have gone out of their way to characterize those who believe Obama is a Muslim as lunatic fringe, out of touch with reality. The Obama Campaign spin machine went into overdrive and persuaded news media to describe Madonna as being "confused" and having made a "mistake" with her comments.

No word from the White House or Obama Campaign as to whether or not staffers there are apoplectic over the Madonna endorsement.

wikicommons

update: 9.26.12 Madonna releases a statement to clarify her endorsement: "I was being ironic on stage. Yes I know Obama is not a Muslim (though I know that plenty of people in this country think he is.) And what if he were?..."

Yeah right ...NBFD!
