BLOG OF THE DAY...

According to Boeing's own website they recently had 22,000 global suppliers.  It is well known that somewhere around 25 to 30% of General Motors parts are outsourced.

Every time you see Obama running an ad blaming Romney for outsourcing, try to remember that this President doesn't want you to know the facts.  He just wants power anyway he can get it including deception.

BLOG OF THE DAY...

Maybe he gets away with it because he's black. Maybe he gets away with it because he's the President.

Obama is a purveyor of falsehoods and outrageous incomplete thoughts that in many respects border on verbal treason. 

Obama has been running deceptive political ads on Candidate Romney's outsourcing of jobs. 

We all know Warren Buffet has been a big time supporter of President Obama. One of the major divisions of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffet's company, is called Fruit of the Loom.

According to the Fruit of the Loom website "more than 90% of our products are made in the United States, Mexico, Honduras, Salvador and Morocco.  The backbone of our production is sourced from suppliers located in 33 countries including China, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam."

The absurdity and the out of context nature of Obama's ads should make even the most liberal democrats realize what a deceptive and miserable character our President is.

ANOTHER BLOG FOR TODAY...

In another one of its absurd articles, that New York newspaper that pays its executives millions and is a miserably ran company, published a story today about how several JP Morgan brokers pushed sales of their own funds even at their client's expense.

There are two very simple points that need to be made about this story:

1. Does it mean that if Consumer Reports concludes that Toyotas perform better than General Motor cars that all the GM salesman should stop selling GMs and start pushing Toyota?

2. The current performance of the JP Morgan funds has nothing to do with how it will be in the future.

The article is another destructive example of thoughtless reporting. 

BLOG OF THE DAY...

Aspen Colorado voted to ban plastic bags from the town's grocery stores and enacted a 20 cent fee on paper bags.

MY WIFE WENT INTO THE GROCERY STORE AND INSTEAD OF THE PAPER BAGS SHE BOUGHT TWO CLOTH BAGS RECOMMENDED BY THE STORE AS TO THEIR PERMANENCE.

NOW GET THIS REALLY WELL.  THE BAGS SHE PURCHASED FROM BOTH FOOD STORES, MADE BY DIFFERENT COMPANIES, WERE BOTH MADE IN CHINA.

How many people  working in the plastic and paper industry will now lose jobs.  As Jack Nicholson said in a famous movie, "You don't want to hear the truth, you can't take it".

The environmentally powerful lobbyists outsourced more jobs. We are a democracy therefore we get what the people want, in this case less jobs.

RHETORIC VS. RESUME - OBAMA VS. ROMNEY

A major New York newspaper and their Economist wrote an editorial today about Mitt Romney titled "Off and Out with Romney". 

In summary, the editorial claims that Mr. Romney's "career wouldn't have prepared him to manage the economy."  The editorial goes on in detail about Bain Capital, outsourcing, offshoring, health care, etc. The editorial is basically a political advertisement distorting facts to support the Obama campaign.

Here is the bottom line on both candidates:

President Obama was a short term United States Senator and to my knowledge never ran a business, never ran a city or state prior to his election.

Mr. Romney was a successful businessman, saved the Olympics and was the Governor of Massachusetts.

Where have we gotten with President Obama - what has he really done to help our economy grow? What experience did he have when we elected him to the highest office in our country?  In the words of this Editorial writer what in Obama's past "prepared him to manage the economy"? I say nothing much and that's one of the reasons we are where we are at now, no job growth and a business community afraid of what Obama may do next....

The fact is Mr. Romney is much more qualified to be President based upon his career than Obama was four years ago.  That's a fact.  Possibly if Mr. Romney was a minority he would have a better chance of winning the election  even if he was less qualified.

This failing newspaper needs to stop editorializing with malicious and inaccurate commentary.
