Forget the Economy, Stupid. Let's Start A Fight Over Birth Control!
by CarterFliptMe
The Democrats, aided by the network news and the usual liberal cable news outlets like CNN and MSNBC, know they can't let the upcoming election be focused on Obama's failed economy. To their credit, they've managed to turn the topic of discussion on to social issues. Everyone was astonished when Obama declared that religion-based insurers would be forced to cover abortions and birth control under ObamaCare. Religious leaders were outraged. They were equally surprised when he did a quick pseudo walk-back, and decreed that birth control would be provided free of charge.
Besides the Constitutional issues surrounding Obama's dictator impersonation, this was unsatisfactory for religious leaders on the grounds of freedom of religion, and they publicly stated as much. The very next day, viola'! We have a new bully in town and the Democrats have a new straw man to fight. Democrats (which includes ABC, CBS, NBC, NY Times, Washington Post, etc.) immediately began pushing the narrative that 'Republicans are against birth control!'.
I have been saying the Democrats needed a new slogan, something besides 'Republicans want to take your Social Security!', and we now have it. To a liberal, being opposed to offering something for free is akin to being opposed to that thing's existence.
To the casual observer, it'll be "something about Republicans fighting against birth control". Poor Mrs. Smith, the soccer mom, will dutifully vote for Obama even though she knows his economy sucks. That's their plan, anyway. I'm confident that it will not be enough to save Obama's failed Carter-era Keynesian nightmare. Elections are almost always centered on the economy, (the exception is when we're in a major war) and with a poor economy, Obama is doomed.

Emperor Obama Warned Us, "He Can't Wait", And He Meant It
by CarterFliptMe
In October, President Obama boldly declared, "We can't wait!", and promised to bypass Congress to enact new legislation and do pretty much anything he damn-well pleases.
Now, to strengthen waning union power in the United States, he's bypassed the Senate approval process, and declared his appointments to fill three vacancies in the National Labor Relations Board, and put Richard Cordray in charge of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The Senate had been blocking Obama's nominees to the NLRB because they were too partisan, and represent only union interests. The approval of Cordray had been delayed because Republicans objected to the structure and spending authorization of the new CFPB, and were trying to get changes made to it in Congress.
The most obvious point is that Congress is not in recess! According to Obama, "We know what would happen if Republicans in Congress were allowed to keep holding Richard's nomination hostage. More of our loved ones could be tricked into making bad financial decisions." That's his rationale for violating the Constitution again? Somebody might be tricked? It is the now further unrepresented people of the United States who are being bamboozled yet again by the Alinskyite-in-Chief.
Thanks to the Dodd-Frank regulations, we now have a CFPB in charge of telling our loved ones which financial decisions are good, and which ones aren't. The people that run this new Bureau are not elected, and now the head of it has not even been approved by the Senate. Don't we have laws in place already (which aren't being enforced) that are supposed to protect people from illegal financial practices? Lastly, does this mean that our laws in financial and lending matters are now irrelevant? It seems so, since the CFPB (the head of which, again, is unelected and unapproved by the Senate) now gets to decide what's 'fair' or 'unwise'?
Does anyone think this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will 'protect' anyone? The only people this new layer of bureaucracy will protect are elected representatives, by sheltering them from making the tough decisions that affect the economy and our individual lives.
Legal challenges are expected, and this move may cause the entire appointment approval process to come to a screeching halt. I hope and pray for both!

Impressive ad by the Rick Perry campaign - President Zero.
Obama said, "I love folks who say, well, this is Obama's economy. That's fine, give it to me!" And Perry does just that in this ad. Very well done.
