Mitt needs to hire someone with a better grasp of effective visual communications. His video is basically a radio spot.

Obama: The “weaknesses in our economy” are due to cuts in state and local government.
Any chance the federal government could pitch in and weaken the economy, too?

Christina Bellatoni, blathering about the right’s cruel misinterpretation of Obama’s “the private sector is doing fine.” gaffe:
(Quote starts at 1:04)
“The Republicans pounced on this by using Twitter and some other social media to get many, many people to join in, and then I think that a lot of news networks and news organizations feel compelled – ‘Oh, something’s blowing up on Twitter. We NEED to cover this, in a way.'”
Huh. She just described the exact method by which every White House talking point is propagated.
Except when Democrats do it, it’s simply showing Grassroots Concern about a subject that’s Very Important to the American People.
Until it backfires in a smoking cloud of conservative mockery, at which point they move on to the next talking point.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat
Still, there’s nothing more amusing than the frothing frustration liberals work up when they realize YET AGAIN that the administration will always get its ass shot off on the 140-character battlefield.
At a lunch honoring Nancy Pelosi, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow said Pelosi was the kind of person we “name large buildings after in Washington.”
May I suggest a nice waste collection facility?

Maybe we should just nuke the damn thing before we lose the technology to get a rocket that far in the aftermath of a violent ape-uprising.

Republicans are questioning the White House over all the recent classified leaks. It sort of seems like Obama is having his cronies leak information that makes it look like he’s tough about terrorism. Doesn’t that seem like a good Obama line, though? “I’m a really really good president, but all the evidence for that is classified.” Maybe we can assign agents Mulder and Scully to the case of finding reasons Obama should be reelected.

Although these new Mossbergs haven’t actually been tested against Xenomorphs, I’ve got a feeling they’d hold up pretty well.
At the very least, you’d look pretty cool while your face was being eaten.
Ed Schulz is befuddled that 38% of union households voted for Scott Walker. He figures it has to be brainwashing from guns and religions. See, unions have a nice scam. They take money from their members to give to Democrats and then Democrats take money from taxpayers to give to unions. Someone who wouldn’t want to be a part of that is called a “decent human being” which must be quite a foreign entity to an MSNBC host.
WASHINGTON (AP) – In a new video released by the Obama campaign, several campaign interns revealed what it’s like to be part of the historic push to make Barack Obama America’s first black reelected president.

“When I first found out I was going to be an intern here at OFA [Obama for America],” said ‘Katie’, “it was just an honor to know that I was going to be working for the President. Turns out you can’t spend honor. I’m so hungry. Can I have part of your lunch?”
Finance Intern ‘Rafi’ said, “Even though you have ‘intern’ on your name tag, you’re a lot more than that. You’re actually part janitor, part gofer, and part barista. Also, when your internship is complete, you get promoted to 1/32 Cherokee.”
Operation Vote Intern ‘Jaha’ opined, “You’re really part of a cause that is larger than yourself, and I feel like that every day I come here. Kinda like Occupy Wall Street, except with less pepper-spray in the ol’ peepers. Well… MOST days.”
‘Rafi’ chimed in again, “You are so valued by the team here, and given real responsibility. Just the other day, I was personally selected to empty Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s drool cup. Sounds gross, I know, but at least it’s easier than running Biden’s anti-gaffe shock-collar. Man! Your finger’s just DEAD the next day!”
“I’ve had a lot of internships,” added ‘Katie’ enthusiastically, “but nothing has ever been like this. We really are one big family. Just like the Mansons!”

From David Burge:
I accept the fact Barack Obama is president. I wish he would accept that fact too.
So Obama really walked into it when he said “The private sector is doing fine.” Of course, it doesn’t sound as bad in context of the full quote:
“As far as I’m capable of caring, the private sector is doing fine… certainly given the perspective I don’t even want there to be a private sector. Hey, you going to eat that Chihuahua or can I have it? Oh, man, I did way too much blow this morning.”
Actually, what Obama’s main point was is that there has been a lot of reduction in government jobs. So basically his “private sector doing fine” remark was a whine that government isn’t as big as he wants. So it’s not that he’s out of touch with how the economy affects regular Americans, it’s just that he doesn’t care about in comparison with expansion of the government and his power. That’s been a lot of the Obama presidency: the American people not lining up their cares and concerns with Obama’s. That’s why Obamacare was such a huge hassle to get passed. If only Obama could find a citizenry that thought like he did. Maybe he and the OWS crowd can go form their own country of unlimited government. I bet they’d have a great time with it right up until they all freeze to death during the first winter.

A great idea would be contact lenses for cats that give them something other than soulless demon eyes.
How’s the private sector doing?
“…the private sector’s doing fine.” is an incomplete quote. First part of the sentence was, “As far as I’m capable of caring…”
Before we jump all over Obama, let’s make sure we got this accurately. Did he say the private sector was “doing fine” or “doing just fine”?
I can just see Obama on November 7th. “How you doing there, buddy?”
“Oh, I’m doing fine.”
Obama: “My administration has created millions and millions of jobs and we’ve carefully hidden them so you’ll never find them. Muhahaha!”
Obama is having a lot of problems with all those people bitterly clinging to guns, religion, and employment.
The only way to win at thermonuclear war is to both disarm. Except you fake disarmed and can now nuke a defenseless opponent.
If we were all sociopaths, we wouldn’t get along any better but we’d care less that we didn’t.
Used to be, you only had to walk a mile for a camel. Not any more. Inflation, I suppose you’d call it.
I won’t even address the fact that the bounty on Hillary includes 10 cocks. I know how your junior high school juvenile minds work.
