Blaming Bush chart?; Romney fights back; Driver's licence fraud in Minnesota; Chevy Volt's cost to taxpayers; Our Planned Parenthood dollars; Obama's re-election headquarters; Sheriff Joe's latest proof of ineligibility; Planned Parenthood sues AZ, using taxpayer dollars; Presecuted Christians no longer count in Human Rights reports; Wells Fargo and others were forced to take TARP money

By all accounts, Mitt Romney was sensational today in Pennsylvania. His theme was Barack Obama’s revelatory “you didn’t build that” speech. Over the lunch hour (here in the Midwest), Twitter was burning up with commentary from those who were watching Romney’s speech live. The commentary was unanimously euphoric. Romney spoke without teleprompter or notes, something Obama rarely does without getting into trouble. He was, everyone agreed, passionate and articulate. It seems that Obama’s attack on entrepreneurs and job creators, and his baldly stated conviction that everyone owes everything to government, was the spark that Romney needed. http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2012/07/romney-knocks-it-out-of-the-park.php

The state of Minnesota has found nearly 24,000 possible cases of fraud involving driver’s licenses issued in the state, Fox Minneapolis reports. A facial recognition scan of the state’s 11 million photo database found nearly 1.3 million duplicates.
“There was about 23,000 records that we think are a good chance of being fraud,” (Doug Neville, communications director for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety) said. http://freebeacon.com/24000-minnesota-drivers-licenses-possibly-fraudulent/

Media Fail: Chevy Volt Makes NO Money, Costs Taxpayers Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Per Car

[And this is how it works now: we taxpayers are forced to send our money to a government which, through crony capitalism, used our money to support liberal causes such as government-paid abortions.  Then those who provide the abortions use taxpayer dollars to produce and distribute ads endorsing Barack Obama.  Isn't our "new" presidency" just so terrific?]
The following words are not mine:  After reaching an agreement to send more than $1 million over three years to a Planned Parenthood in Tennessee, the Obama administration has awarded $3.1 million in federal funds to Planned Parenthood affiliates in New Jersey.
The grant announcement was made Tuesday by Sens. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) and Robert Menendez, (D-NJ), two pro-abortion Democrats in the U.S. Senate who are longtime allies of Planned Parenthood. The funding comes through the Department of Health and Human Services to Planned Parenthood and other agencies.
That’s $4.1 million given to Planned Parenthood in just two states. In return, Obama gets $1.4 million in ad support and an endorsement. Amazing how that works, eh? http://campaigntrailreport.com/2012/07/17/the-planned-parenthood-obama-endorsement-ad-paid-for-by-you

Behold the results of Obamanomics.
In Portland, Maine, President Obama’s re-election headquarters is on the second floor of a two story brick building. The first floor is home to a furniture and flooring store.
But not for long. http://www.libertynews.com/2012/07/17/obamadidthis-epic-photo/

Under Hawaii Revised Statute 338-17.8, a person only has to be an established resident of Hawaii, not necessarily a U.S. citizen, and pay taxes there for one year to be able to register an out-of-state or foreign-born person with an official Hawaii birth certificate.
“If a nation’s security is only as strong as its weakest link, then America may be in serious trouble,” Arpaio said in a statement. “Hawaii may be our weakest link and could have a serious impact on our nation’s immigration policy.”  Hawaii’s deputy attorney general, Jill T. Nagamine, confirm the state has a birth document on file for Obama. But she would not confirm on the record that the White House document matched what was on file with the Hawaii Department of Health. http://www.wnd.com/2012/07/arpaio-obama-probe-finds-national-security-threat/

The Arizona affiliate of Planned Parenthood, the tax-funded abortion behemoth and a top ally of President Obama, filed a federal lawsuit against state officials this week in an effort to stop a new law halting the flow of taxpayer funds to abortion providers. Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, however, expressed confidence that the effort to protect citizens from being coerced into financing abortion would be upheld. 

As the largest abortion provider in America and a vicious lobbying group when so-called “choice” is under threat, Planned Parenthood receives hundreds of millions of tax dollars every year from federal, state, and local governments — about half of its budget, in fact. But in recent times, activists across the nation have been relatively successful in their efforts to pass state laws stopping government subsidies for abortionists. In just the last two years, lawmakers in more than a dozen states have succeeded in passing legislation to de-fund Planned Parenthood. http://thenewamerican.com/usnews/health-care/item/12110-abortion-giant-planned-parenthood-sues-arizona-for-ending-tax-subsidies

In a major blow to persecuted Christians living in oppressive nations, the U.S. State Department for the first time removed the section on religious persecution from the Country Reports on Human Rights that it released at the end of May 2012. The report, which this year highlighted the success of the “Arab Spring” – the assisted “revolutions” for a democratic society in several Middle Eastern nations such as Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, purged the sections which discuss the rampant abuse, persecution and loss of freedom for the Christians who live in these countries under their new “democratic regimes” in these predominately Muslim countries. http://beginningandend.com/state-department-removes-christian-persecution-from-human-rights-report/

The great Walter Williams writes:  Former Wells Fargo CEO Dick Kovacevich was forced to take Troubled Asset Relief Program funds even though Wells Fargo did not need or want the funds. Kovacevich was threatened that if he did not accept TARP money, regulators would declare his bank capital-deficient even though Wells Fargo had a triple-A rating. At the time, October 2008, Wells Fargo was in the process of acquiring Wachovia, and to be declared capital-deficient would have killed the deal. U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke could rely on acquisitiveness, profit motive and self-interestedness to bully Wells Fargo into accepting TARP money. They also knew that Wells Fargo's competitors would go after Wachovia. If all sound banks had refused TARP money, Paulson and Bernanke's tyrannical threats would have failed. http://www.creators.com/conservative/walter-williams.html
