President Obama speaks in Roanoke, VA (7/13/12)
Did you hear the one about “retroactive retirement”? It seems like the more Mitt Romney and his surrogates try to explain his Bain record, the more confusing it all gets. Rick Tyler, Republican strategist and former Communications Director for Newt Gingrich, and Richard Wolffe, MSNBC Political Analyst, join Ed to sort out the weekend’s developments.
You’ve seen the ad (click here for a refresher)—the Obama team is officially playing offense, highlighting the outsourcing that occurred at Bain during Romney’s tenure with the tagline “Mitt Romney is not the solution. He’s the problem.” Chuck Rocha, Executive Director of the American Worker Latino Project, joins Ed to talk about the ad, the message and what it means for the rest of the campaign.
The right-wing is desperate to change the subject from Romney’s recent Bain pain—Fox News joined in by selectively editing a speech President Obama gave in Roanoke, VA to make it seem as if he insulted small business owners by saying “If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made it happen.” Of course, the conservatives went wild. We’ll show you their deceptive edit AND the clip in context. Van Jones, President and Co-Founder of the Rebuild the Dream, will join Ed to straighten out their lie.
Catherine Crier, Attorney and best-selling author of “Patriot Acts: What Americans Must do to Save the Republic”, Jon Bramnick, NJ Assembly GOP Leader, and Keith Boykin, CNBC Contributor and Democratic Strategist join us in the big panel tonight to talk about reactions to Obama’s latest ad.
Sheldon Adelson armed the YG (Young Guns) Action fund, the super PAC backed by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, with a $5 million donation. Tom Perriello, Former Democratic Congressman, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, joins Ed to talk about this latest donation from the notorious GOP backer.

President Obamas Job Czar
GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt, The Head Of Obama’s Jobs Council, Is Moving Jobs And Economic Infrastructure To China At A Blistering Pace
Apparently Immelt's idea of being part of the solution is to ship as many jobs overseas as he possibly can.
A recent article on the Huffington Post documented how GE has been sending tens of thousands of good jobs out of the country....
Where did you get those facts?

(President Obamas Job Czar)
GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt, The Head Of Obama's Jobs Council, Is Moving Jobs And Economic Infrastructure To China At A Blistering Pace
I can't even believe this is happening in this day and age. The teapublican's really want to go back to the old days, they say it all the time. I am so sick of hearing the ridiculous lie that hundreds of thousands of dead people are voting. If it ever even did happen in the way past, it sure hasn't happened any time recently. They have come right out and said they will win the election by keeping people from voting for crying out loud. What other evidence do they need to prove they are trying to steal the election?
No they have no evidence of dead people at all! They had something like 13 cases that they could even prosecute when Bush was in office, and I think I'm too high on that number, and most of those were felons who thought they could vote. They have no evidence that any illegal's voted. As for animals that's ridiculous. Stop trying to pretend you're for Obama by speaking sarcastically you twit. Nice try though, who do you think you are the reverse Colbert?
Somehow I can't believe this. If it did happen it was probably done by the tea partiers to make up a reason for voter ID. My reason is that when Bush was in office they did a 3 or 5 year investigation and could only come up with a few cases as I stated above!!! I also believe that anything to do with town hall would be a .org not a .com, so that might explain the hoax! And I'm pretty sure if this had any merit at all, it would be all over every news channel around!!!!
Dawn its a conservative hack site. They have a photo shop of Obama pouting because the recent court decision makes health care reform a tax. It is right wing garbage.
Yes, I'm also saying anything that has to do with government is as far as I know a .org not a .com! perhaps I'm wrong but I don't think I am, anyone else have a comment on that one?
They are publications, not the government.
lol I went on a diet retroactively too!!!Ha Ha.
Hey emperor, so you are in the top 1%?
Are you kidding Dawn No one with any real success would have so much time to waste online just to do trolling......come on
Right because that is your job.
Emperor O.....
ENJOYMENT? Social programs are not extended to impoverished people for that purpose. They are the least protection Government can provide the Poor, Elderly, and Disabled.
You (and some others) are either demeaning persons who use social programs borne out of a need or, you are accusing everyone on social programs of evil conduct. Will you be clear-er. Which is it?
leave it to rightwing Fox News Channel to edit part of obamas speach in W VA thats what thier good at doing
The president NObama made the comment Friday during a speech
to supporters in Roanoke, Va. Arguing that business owners got help from others
along the road to success and suggesting they should pay more in taxes in
return, he said: "If you've got a business, you didn't build that.
Somebody else made that happen."
NObama the Tax's and SPEND president..
VOTE NObama 2012!!
If you have a business all the shipping you did was on roads that taxes pay for, or airplanes with controllers and airports which taxes pay for. Your consumers gave you your success, no customers=no business. The right has a hard time understanding that for some reason. No one became successful all on their own in some aethist prophetess of greed Ayn Rand anti-socialization fantasy.
When Obama was elected, the Democratics held a majority in both Houses of Congress and still couldn't do anything the strengthen the ecomony. Now that the Republicans hold a majority in the House, Obama blames them for a stalemate in introducing his programs that he thinks will help the economy, but haven't to date. He should have spent more time pushing through legislation while the Dems held majority in Congress and less time on the golf course and on vacation. Obama had his chance and has failed the US. Vote Romney!!!
Which is a lie they only had a simple majority not a super majority. No matter how many times you repeat that lie won't make it anything more then a lie.
The Republican Presidential candidate and his supporters could all teach "PROPOGANDA" at the college level. If you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it. The GERMAN PROPOGANDA machine during WWII was very good at making the problem someone elses. REPUBICANS say that our economy is bad because we have had a Democrat in the WHITE HOUSE for the last 3 years. You can not go back before that to see how badly the REPUBICAN controlled congree screwed the economy during the previous 8 years as that is immaterial.
In a court of law the procecutor has to share any evidence he finds with the defense. The REBULICANS not only don't want to share what they know; they don't want the AMERICAN VOTER to know either. When the prosecution does not share information with the the defense the jury or in this case the VOTING PUBLIC can not make an educated vote. A defendant can get a new trial for PROCECUTORIAL MISSCONDUCT. The AMERICAN PEOPLE deserve better than that.
In the NAVY if a ship is lost at see the CAPTAIN is ultimately responsible for that loss. He or She may not have been on the bridge at the time of the accident or injury, but they are still "100% LIABLE for whatever happened. For MITT ROMNEY to say I was not responsibe for people loosing teir jobs whey he was listed as the "SOLE OWNER, CEO,CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER and CHAIRMAN of THE BOARD is the most HIPPOCRITICAL stetement that I have ever heard. He must be a history buff, beacuse the GERMANS told the same lie so often that the average person coun not possible believe it was a LIE. But the biggest proble with lies is they can come back to haunt you. If you wear size 10 shoes then don't tell a size 12 lie, geeting that oversize shoe out of your mouth will take some time and it never looks pretty.
I the past several years their have been two very similar DISASTERS AT SEA. In both cases the CAPTAINS ABANDONNED their ships to save themselves. Lives were lost beacause they did not do their duty. Now MIIT ROMNEY says he left BAINE in FEB. of 1999 and had nothing whatsoever to do with the company there after. SEC fillings clearly show him liasted thru 2002. they can not both be true therefor one of the stements has to be a falsehood. As the man in charge MITT ROMNEY only wants to take credit for the good stuff. If anything bad happened that must have been after I left the company; and how convienent is that.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE will be the judge and jury in this election. We will have to filter out all the facts from the lies, but we don't have all the facts and are not likely to get them. The AMERICAN PRESS is very good at digging out the facts, my only hope is that they get the TRUE FACTS and not just the true facts according to CARL ROVE or the COKE BROTHERS or anyone else out there willing to drown the truth with so much money that it never sees THE LIGHT OF DAY!
The true facts, like Elizabeth Warren is part Cherokee Indian. Please!!!
As far as Republicans sharing what they know, you seem to have forgotten that Obama and Eric Holder invoked Executive Privilege so they did not have to release all the information on Fast and Furious to the General Public to show exactly how involved this Administration was in the employment of this questionable activity. I can see where they are being transparent in their dealings with the US citizens, NOT!
Another lie that has been shown to be pure 100% elephant @!$%#.
Elizabeth Warren is as Cherokee as their principle chief of the Cherokee nation(1/16)
Elizabeth Warren is claiming to be 1/32 Cherokee, not 1/16, but is unable to provide valid documentation that this is the case. Her legal career was going nowhere until she claimed to be a Native America and then it took off. All under false pretense. Vote for Scott Brown!!
Vote for scott brown the Wall street bankers spokesman in congress.
Saying that the Obama campaign is "Swiftboating" Romney is just plain wrong. When I think of "Swiftboating" I think of a bunch of lies to take an honorable person down like they did to Kerry. They used no facts or truth and to say the Obama campaign is doing the same is saying the Obama campaign is using lies.
I resent the swiftboat liars and I resent the term because it is saying they are liars. Any dem that thinks it's cute and thinks Obama is doing the same is telling me the Obama campaign is using lies.
Its so ridiculous seeing the fake Obama supporters here trying to protray themselves as racist and unethical.
They should look in a mirror (pull of the Romney sticker first) then ask themselves what the hell is wrong with their own morals.
Using real names would go a long way towards eliminating trolls.
THE REPUBLICANS in CONGRESS could teach PROPOGANDA at the UNIVERCITY LEVEL. The GERMAN PROGANDA machine could and did use missinformation to further there cause. The DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS record is fair game but not his REPUBLICAN challenger. We are supposed to believe that he left BAINE CAPITOL in FEB. of 1999.The problem with that information is that he was still the "SOLE OWNER, CEO. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFER as fllings with the SEC clearly show.
If there is an accident at sea the CAPTAIN of the vessel is held to be ultimaley responsible for the accident. The CAPTAIN could be relieved of his command pending the investigation. MITT ROMNEY as listed as BAIN CAPITOLS " SOLE STOCKHOLDER, CEO, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND CHAIRMAN of the BOARD from 1999 thru 2002 doesnot want to be responsible for those 3 YEARS. How anyone can claim credit for a period of time but expect to be held blamless for that same period of time is beyond me. Their may be a medical term for HIS DISEASE ,but I just call it simply lying. If you lie to a friend that may hurt him or his family. If you lie to the AMERICAN PEOPLE the potential harm could devistate the economy.
The Tea Party has all but disappeared because of SHAME! These Conservative rubes realized they got played for fools by a bunch of silver spoon trust fund babies. Can you imagine? After the Bush/Cheney the Tea Baggers still believed the GOP was working for their best interests. The Republican Corporate Ho Party used Conservative voters like a $10.00 meth whore. (right Ted Haggard) lol
Not only that but you pathetic morons wanted Democrats/Progressives to believe if only Conservatism had one more chance it can work? The very definition of insanity, isn’t IT? Over and over AGAIN! Just separate yourselves from the Bush/Cheney DISASTER… bull$#!~ MISINFORMED people into believing they’re part of a NEW Conservative Movement. In reality right wing imbeciles never learned the new boss is same as the old boss… The 2010 election was an affront to GOD and everything the USA stands for.
In OTHER WORDS Republican Party talking points are based on the ignorance of their constituents. They revise history and LIE because they CAN… because morons who vote for Republicans DON’T KNOW THEIR OWN HISTORY! This ain’t NO Tea Party… it’s a full scale CLASS WAR and all the silver spoon, trust fund babies like Mitt Romney are kicking the American PEOPLE’s @$$.
The Billionaire Aristocrats and their Republican Party flunkies have a LOT TO ANSWER FOR! These vain, self-serving, power-mad, greed stricken silver spoon con artists have turned the USA into the United Suckers of America.
Reagan/Bush killed ANTI-TRUST and any regulation that kept industry HONEST. When Reagan/Bush came to power, the USA was #1 on the planet in exporting goods and importing raw materials. This is the very definition of a prosperous economy. By 2006, it is the exact opposite. Why? Years of Republicans selling out the American middle class, that’s why. The Bush’s and a Republican Controlled Congress (1994-2006) gave it up for a very few wealthy families.
And what did these elitists DO? Stall new technology, steal pension funds, move to China, India, Mexico. THIS while paying for those high priced, patriotic commercials, WE LOVE THE USA, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY, etc. BS! (when I snap my fingers you‘ll wake happy and refreshed… lol)
I think we need to focus on those in the TOP 1% Koch Bros, Sheldon Adelson, Bob Perry, Diane Hendricks, Rich Devos, Foster Friess, Louis Moore, Trevor Rees-Jones, and those rich @$$holes on the Council for National Policy. Let’s not forget the Neo-Con, War Profiteer, banking scandal, Bush Crime Family types along with their flunkies such as the Mitt Romney, Scott Walker types.
An American Aristocracy, who made their fortunes on the backs of American workers… The water, air and wealth of resources used to manufacture the goods. The brain power and innovation, with American ingenuity, technology, ideas… using infrastructure paid for by the American taxpayer… And how did they repay us? The silver spoon, trust fund baby m’f***er’s moved all our jobs to Asia, fouled our environment with stuff that would make a bill goat puke and turned our politicians into a stable of high priced prostitutes.
It used to be called bribery, collusion and all those crimes covered by the RICO Act. How come they can get away with a white bred corporate crime wave of epic proportions but our jails are filled by pot smokers? WHY IS THAT? These Wall Street guys ruined our economy with their ALEC, reckless policies and deregulation, so why aren’t the American PEOPLE standing up to them? WHY AREN’T THE FED’S PROSECUTING? WHERE’S THE IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATIVE NEWS REPORTS documenting the outrage?
It’s up to the PEOPLE to focus on those billionaires meeting at the Koch Bros, rich @$$hole Convention in San Diego. These are the true enemies of the our beloved USA who want to do a “Citizens United”, hostile takeover of everything Americans hold dear about our great country and turn the average American into a debt slave.
Conservatives are insane, you brainwashed fools YOU! Here’s the thing Conservatives/Republicans have yet to grasp. Sure we’re fighting war on terror (allegedly) at the front door but you people left the back door open to economic terrorists. Remember the COLD WAR? Remember our former enemy those Red Commie pukes? How much did we spend to fight them, TRILLIONS? AND WHAT BECAME OF THAT? The rich guys decided to sell the American worker out to the Commies. Communist China now owns a third of our national debt. Thanks for NOTHING m’#*@/r’s!
And there is a growing number of sane, moderate Republicans on the American scene. Progressives must help the other poor dumb neo-con *****’s along at spoact.blogspot.com

SpoAct,
WOW how true, how true
great statements and writing!!!!
SpoAct:
Why are there more Democrat millionaire legislators in Congress than Republican? It not just Republicans in the top 1% and it's all the 1%ers in Congress that have passed Legislation to minimize their taxes and put it on the backs of the middle class citizens. Why did it take until this year to pass Legislation against "Insider information in Congress" when this Law has been on the books for years in the General Public. It's because politicians think the Laws are for the General Public, not for them. Most of the Democrats in Congress became millionaires after they were elected to Congress. No coincidence is there!
If Obamacare is so great, why does it not apply to members of Congress? It's because it sucks. Romneycare in MA was less than 200 pages, Obamacare is over 2000 pages of garbage that most of the Legislators haven't even read. Comparing the two isn't logical. One deals with Health care on a local State level, Obamacare treats every State the same which is not logical or feasible. Each State has different demographics that work for one or two States but not for all 52. (or is that 57)They voted on it because they were told to by Pelosi and the other Democratic leaders. I just want the same insurance coverage as my Congressman. Nothing more, nothing less. Vote Romney!!
Remember these? LIES!!!!
THE OBAMA CHRONICLES:
"I promise 100% transparency in my administration.".
"I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year.".
"I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills.".
"I will remove earmarks from PORK projects before I sign any bill.".
"I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year.".
"I will bring ALL of our troops home within ONE year."
"I'll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is
at the table!".
"I'll have no lobbyists in my administration."
"I'll close Guantanamo."
"I'll resign if I don't cut the deficit in half by the end of four
years."
"I'll unite the people of this great country."
VOTE NObama 2012!!
AN ODE TO MITT ...
Humpty Romney tried to sit on a high wall
Humpty Romney had a great fall
All of his million$ and republican friends
Couldn’t make Humpty Romney appear whole again
Humpty Romney ranted withering in pain
Because of the FACTS about his involvement in Bain
And so Humpty Romney suffered intense humiliation and trauma
Because he couldn't begin to measure up to a REAL president like Obama!
Obama hires GE Immelt as jobs czar and tells the American public that he runs the perfect company. GE that has outsourced 60% of their jobs, pays no income tax, and keeps their earning overseas to avoid taxes. Who supports outsourcing?
GE is not sending 60% of their jobs over seas....
And they do pay taxes.
Ever hear of the City Lynn MA?.. Lynn Lynn the city of sin you never come out the way you went in.
Romney cannot want us to believe he is financially irresponsible or foolish, would he?
He owns an international multi-million dollar company - His Money!
If he's not managing it, then he is not the right guy for the job - any job.
Closing a company is not out sourcing.
If you close down a company here in the USA then open the same type of company off shore in some other country, then that is out sourcing.
Bain has never done that.
You liberals need to take a look at GM if you want to see out sourcing at it's best.
Hahaha Typical republican story telling there ho-le-cow. The right takes a tiny sliver of truth then makes up the rest to suit THEIR MADE UP VERSION OF THE STORY ! For example : Obama Death Panels, and the 112th republican congress mantra of "Jobs,jobs, jobs, that turned out to be: Women are TOO STUPID to be allowed to use contraception, and CAN't be trusted to make choices on their OWN MEDICAL HEALTH!
GM has created thousands of AMERICAN JOBS just this year alone! And the ONLY outsourcing GM has ever done was with it's IT staffing (They were probably just following Romneys Bain Outsourcing Model!!) BUT They've come to their senses AFTER seeing how a REAL PRESIDENT LIKE OBAMA IS getting America moving in the right direction AFTER THE DRUG ADDICT BUSH ALMOST WRECKED THE COUNTRY! Happy Reading! :)
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/General-Motors-to-slash-IT-outsourcing/articleshow/14833417.cms
BY THE WAY ho-le- cow DESTROYING A PERFECTLY GOOD COMPANY AND DISPLACING HUNDREDS OF AMERICAN WORKERS TO MAKE A BUCK, THEN SENDING THEIR JOBS OVERSEAS LIKE BAIN DID REPEATEDLY IS NOT ONLY OUTSOURCING BUT DISPICIABLE ROMNEYISM!
GM has created thousands of AMERICAN JOBS just this year alone! And the ONLY outsourcing GM has ever done was with it's IT staffing
GM has plants all over the planet.
Over 30,000 employees in Canada.
Over 12,000 in Mexico.
Making cars sold in the USA.
Let me see, Obama basically shuts down NASA and all it programs sending all the people working in related businesses supplying material and equipment to NASA to the unemployment lines and now the US is sending up astronauts in Russia space capsules. I don't have a PHD from MIT or Harvard but this sure sounds like OUTSOURCING to me. Just my opinion. Vote Romney!!!
Wrong it was GWB that shut down NASA gee you tea bagged republicans sure seen to be missing the years 2000 to 2009. Better go seek professional help that is a early warning sign of dementia.
