*Under the agreement currently being advocated by the Obama
administration, American corporations would continue to be subject to
domestic laws and regulations on the environment, banking and other
issues. But foreign corporations operating within the U.S. would be
permitted to appeal key American legal or regulatory rulings to an international tribunal.
That international tribunal would be granted the power to overrule
American law and impose trade sanctions on the United States for failing
to abide by its rulings.The terms run contrary to campaign promises issued by Obama and the Democratic Party during the 2008 campaign. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/13/obama-trade-document-leak_n_1592593.html

The fear of Obama suspending elections came long before the presidential election campaign officially began. It was almost one year ago when North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue made suspended elections an idea whose time has come.
“I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover,” Gov. Perdue, a Democrat said, according to a report by the Raleigh News & Observer. “You want people who don’t worry about the next election.” (Fox News, Sept. 27, 2011).
The trial balloon for Obama’s suspension of elections had been sent up overnight. http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/49082?utm_source=CFP+Mailout&utm_campaign=2d600ca321-Call_to_Champions&utm_medium=email#.UDubUsK3xq4.facebook

SPEECH: CONDOLEEZZA RICE STAKES STAGE AT CONVENTION
And I know too that there is weariness – a sense that we have carried these burdens long enough. But if we are not inspired to lead again, one of two things will happen – no one will lead and that will foster chaos --- or others who do not share our values will fill the vacuum. My fellow Americans, we do not have a choice. We cannot be reluctant to lead – and one cannot lead from behind.
But the American ideal is indeed endangered today. There is no country, no not even a rising China, that can do more harm to us than we can do to ourselves if we fail to accomplish the tasks before us here at home. http://drudgereport.com/flashcr.htm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Wednesday night electrified the Republican Party with a speech that combined lacerating attacks on President Obama with homespun values and a tribute to GOP candidate Mitt Romney.
In a 35-minute address that drew thunderous applause from Republican delegates, Ryan condemned the Obama presidency and presented an optimistic vision of the future under Romney’s leadership.
The core theme of the speech amounted to four words: "We can do this." http://thehill.com/conventions-2012/gop-convention-tampa/246601-ryan-carves-up-obama

Here’s what Erskine Bowles, President Clinton’s former chief of staff and the leader of President Obama’s deficit commission, had to say about Paul Ryan in September of 2011:
I’m telling you, this guy is amazing. I always thought I was okay with arithmetic. This guy can run circles around me. He is honest, he is straightforward, he is sincere. And the budget he came forward with is just like Paul Ryan. It is a sensible, straightforward, honest, serious budget and it cut the budget deficit just like we did by four trillion dollars.By contrast, here is what Bowles said about Obama’s budget:
The president came out with his own plan. And the president, as you remember, came out with a budget. And I don’t think anybody took that budget very seriously. The Senate voted against it 97 to nothing. http://www.forbes.com/sites/aroy/2012/08/30/yes-paul-ryan-spoke-the-truth-about-obamas-fiscal-record/

Let's return to the 2008 Democratic primary debates when then-Senator Obama was asked about raising taxes on capital gains. ABC's Charlie Gibson asked Obama:
Gibson: And in each instance, when the [capital gains tax] rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased; the government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?In spite of the fact -- say again the hard fact -- that lowering capital gains taxes brought in more revenue, what was driving Obama was "fairness." http://spectator.org/archives/2012/08/30/how-obama-succeeds-by-failing
Obama: Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.

"In states with Republican governors, the average unemployment rate is a full point lower than in states with Democratic governors. Republican governors lead seven of the 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates, and 12 of the 15 states ranked best for business."
The reason liberals won't challenge this statement, made by Virginia's Gov. Bob McDonnell, is because it's indisputably true. The average unemployment rate for states with Republican governors, according to Department of Labor data, is 7.6 percent. The average for states with Democratic governors? 8.8 percent. http://washingtonexaminer.com/conservative-governors-trump-liberals-in-great-recession/article/2506380#.UD9N96MTkWR

Yes, the same cast of fable-tellers who falsely accused GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney of murdering a steelworker’s cancer-stricken wife is now directly imposing a draconian environmental regulation that will cost untold American lives.
On Tuesday, the administration announced that it had finalized “historic” new fuel-efficiency standards. President Obama took a break from his historic fund-raising drives to proclaim that by “the middle of the next decade, our cars will get nearly 55 miles per gallon, almost double what they get today. It’ll strengthen our nation’s energy security, it’s good for middle-class families and it will help create an economy built to last.”
The Obama administration touts the support of the government-bailed-out auto industry for these reckless, expensive regs. What they want you to forget is that the “negotiations” (read: bullying) with White House environmental radicals date back to former Obama green czar Carol Browner’s tenure — when she told auto execs “to put nothing in writing, ever” regarding their secret fuel-economy talks.
U.S. intelligence agencies recently reported growing concerns that Israel will conduct a strike on Iran using a high-altitude nuclear burst aimed at disrupting all electronics in the country. https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#trash/1396f9f03c515e74

During live coverage of the Republican National Convention here in Tampa, an ABC News employee provided the perfect example of the pervasive anti-Republican bias Mitt Romney faces in his bid to unseat President Barack Obama.
In video broadcast Monday night by ABC over the internet, a person can be heard claiming that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife Ann are unconcerned about the fate of residents of the New Orleans area who are currently being hit by Hurricane Isaac.
“They aren’t concerned at all,” the person says on tape. “They are happy to have a party when black people drown.” [Later in the day, the man was fired. He was Yahoo! News chief and has been highly awarded]Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-sheffield/2012/08/29/abc-news-romneys-happy-have-party-when-black-people-drown#ixzz24x0umROO
