It Worked?

The RNC's new ad ripping Obama's claim that "our plan" worked appears below the fold.

The MFM is in full-on defense to try and keep this latest case of foot-in-mouth disease from blowing up like "the private sector is doing just fine" and "you didn't build that" by claiming ... wait for it ... that he was taken out of context.

See, "our" refers to the Obama/Clinton plan. Whatever that is.

Now it's true that Clinton raised marginal tax rates during his term just like Obama wants to do (at least on the eeevilll rich), but Clinton's spending impulses were also held in check by the GOP House takeover in 1994. And the shrinking of the budget deficit towards the end of his presidency benefited enormously from the one-time impact of the dot-com bubble.

Now along comes Obama to claim that "our plan", meaning Clinton's success and his abysmal failure to date, somehow average out to an overall net positive. If I were Bill Clinton, I'd be asking Obama, "what do you mean we"?

Unfortunately for Obama, voters aren't going to Clinton-era polling places with full employment and an economy riding a wave of irrational exuberance.

They're going to the polls to cast a referendum on his 40+ months of 8+% unemployment, anemic GDP growth, trillion+ dollar deficits, 30%+ increase in national debt and loss of our AAA credit rating.

But I wish him the best of luck.

In retirement, I mean.

31 London 2012: NBC rules leave plenty of US Olympics fans with nothing to watch
Network has tons of online coverage � but only for cable subscribers. What are you doing to get around the blackout?

Here's what we know about watching the Olympics this year:

1. NBC has all the rights.
2. NBC has all the rights.
3. NBC has all the rights.

In the lead-up to the opening day, NBC made a big splash advertising all the ways that Americans could watch the games: on TV with time zone adjusted broadcasts (meaning west coasters would have to wait until 7pm PT to watch the opening ceremonies, a full eight hours later) or via live stream from London on NBCOlympics.com. But now that the Games have started, many frustrated netizens have discovered that the live streaming service is available to cable-subscribers only.

Translation: if you don't have cable, you can't watch the Olympics.

Yup I was right , the opening ceremonies are on NOW. But I have cable and I can't fine them?

And they have relegated the "our plan worked" to the news dust bin. The thing is "their real plan is working". They are full on to conversion of the US to communism.

336 At least Pub hours in London are consistent. Most open at 8 am and close at 11 pm. When I was in Australia the pubs opened in the morning closed in the afternoon, and reopened in the evening. Strangest thing I ever saw.

God, you said it. Now they're doing British rock 'n roll. This is like one of those K-Tel record collection commercials. "Fifty Famous Hits! By the Beatles! The Rollings Stones!" With go-go dancers lunging around on the floor. Pathetic.

Shouldn't that be "Arby's Macht Fries"?

362 So no memorial for the Israelis, but some jangly "interpretive dance" sung to'Abide With Me' to memorialize "those who can't be here". To me, it sounded like Britain whimpering softly for morphine as it sinks into its grave.

A few hundred thousand strategically stuffed ballots (what did you think the blowback against voter ID was about?) and he'll squeak by for a second term.
