Thanks Romney! Obama's definitely got my vote now
Don't forget how suddenly awesome Bill Clinton became in the last few months.
Romney's odds are quickly moving toward those of someone trying to primary a sitting president, so the comparison to Reuss is quite nice.

I'll give them credit here. I think that transformation began when it became clear Hillary wouldn't win.
Isn't that the definition of Rovian tactics? Only thing is he's shit at it.

indeed.
Affordable Care Act has saved consumers $2.1 billion on insurance premiums
I for one didn't really know about the Rate Review program. That saved us about half of that $2.1 billion, and the 80/20 rule saved the rest.

We'll have officially washed through both conventions in the polls by tomorrow, no?
As with everything Romney, he is actually holding both of these positions at the same time.

I think the Romney team is suffering from bubble syndrome. The 'no apology' thing has played well with the base and they get applause from the tea-party base . . . but the problem is those people live in an alternate universe with made-up facts.
When he pushes the 'Obama apologizes for America' in the real world, the reporters try to look for the alleged apology . . . AND IT DOES NOT EXIST! You work with made-up facts in Rush & Hannity land . . . they believe it . . . but it flops in the real world.
That guy who suggested the etch-a-sketch was right . . . they should have shaken things up. But instead they stuck to GOP primary debate stuff and it flops in the reality based community.

yep yep
honestly im just waiting for rev wright to make an ad comeback near the end. sad.
What the fuck.
First he says nothing, then he basically praises the state department and said we did the right thing, now he's phasing into blasting Obama?
You can't have it both ways, McCain.
This shit pisses me off so bad.
LOL Limbaugh suggests Al Qaeda gave up Osama Bin Laden in order to help Obama. Also, the attacks were because the democrats bragged too much during their convention about killing Bin Ladin
Someone asked about yelling at the radio during Rush. Rush is so completely out there that I can't even say anything when I hear him talk. It's dead silent as my mouth hangs open in surprise at what new, crazy, low he's reached. With some republicans on TV I can yell out things like "bullshit!" Not with Rush. My mind is busy trying to stave off the IQ drop when I hear him...

We all know what a regime in its death throes looks like.
Heh, they rank them on 'density' -- so naturally, more urban states would rank higher all other things being equal. DC is on the top of the list with only 4.

So he's inferring that Al Queda and the Obama administration are allies?!
If that's not the most treasonous accusation I've heard, I don't know what is.
And Bill Ayers....BILL AYERS lol
They have done everything else 2008 did, why not
It's just a wild theory from way way out there, just hear him out.
He's just throwing it out there man, off the top of his head.

Saul Alinski!!!!
I don't even know who Saul Alinski is, but I always see that name mention in Yahoo comments.
To be fair, many of their alternate universe facts in the past have been widely accepted. They based their entire convention on the "You didn't build that" comment and weren't laughed out of the country like they should have been. It was instead treated like a valid point.
When they've gotten away with so many it's fairly understandable why they would keep trying. I'm just glad the media finally woke up for once.

So what's the rationale for giving the stimulus to banks rather than ordinary people given how corrupt they are? What are the alternatives? What are banks 'supposed' to do with it and are there laws that prevent them from just keeping it?

But then people will be in debt to banks so what happens then? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of 'free money' or injecting the economy?
Why would Obama backtrack on this:

Trying to throw people off the sent of the Muslim Brotherhood's infiltration of the US govt. he's behind.
The theory is that if the economy begins to grow, inflation and interest will grow, which means that debts people took on before the growth of the economy will be less relevant. If the interest on a loan you took out is less than the inflation rate, or less than the rate of return on a safe investment like a savings account, then it's basically free money for you -- it's a "float." So there's a strong motivation for people who think they have a pretty good investment idea, or who think that the inflation rate will go up, to borrow money and invest it immediately, which causes it to circulate and thus grows the economy.

A very simple example, banks participate in loans that are given to businesses. Suppose you come up with an idea of mobile restaurants. You need money to buy a truck/trailer, so you go to the bank for a loan. Now the risk on invensting a loan isn't that high, it will motivate the lending officer to lend out a loan, and they might even participate in it: $10,000 to you matched by another $10,000 from the bank. This is what the fed wants the banks to do. They're trying to reduce the risk in lending, so more capital is flowing into the market.
