| It appears that President Obama is going to go after Mitt Romney during Tuesday night’s debate by criticizing his time running Bain Capital, among other attack vectors he will use. That’s the word from a campaign spokesperson who is with the president as he takes 3 days off the campaign trail to prepare for the debate. Fox News: As President Obama began to hunker down at a plush resort here for three full days of debate prep, his campaign team signaled the incumbent may steal a page from Vice President Joe Biden and show a more aggressive tone in Tuesday’s second face-to-face showdown with

But the Obama campaign knows through experience that Romney’s weak spot with Middle Class voters is Bain. Romney has not done the best job defending his business career and he better come up with some zingers for Tuesday night if the president is going raise all the tired, dishonest issues he has put in ads over the last few months.
I must be missing something. I have seen nothing about Bain that distresses this Middle Class voter.
Obie and his minions have tried to paint it as a big bad venture capitalist company, but most see its results, its successes like Staples that employs many thousands of people throughout the country.
Obie focuses on the companies that didn't make it. Heaven knows he should know about those: Solyndra, for example.
Moran seems to be buying into Obie's line.

Didn't Bain take on troubled companies and try to restructure them so that they would continue to operate and be successful? A 100% success rate would be an unreasonable expectation.
Is that where they're going with this? To somehow show that Bain and Romney wanted these companies to fail and shut down? How absurd.

Romney had far more success at Bain than Obama had in the green energy market. But I doubt Romney shoveled funding out to his buddies.

This will only give Romney a perfect opportunity to give 50 million people an Economics 101 lesson. Given the Marxist bent of our government schools, my guess is it will be the first time a large segment of the population ever hears the merits of free enterprise and the concepts of supply and demand. They may be amazed at this brave new world and actually like what they hear. They certainly know from hard experience the Barry's state run cronyism has not helped them the last four years. Bring it on!

The only people the Bain gambit will work with is OWS and the talking heads at MSNBC. If the won goes there Romney should counter with asking if he returned all of the campaign money the current leaders at Bain gave to 0bama and the DNC.

Obama is going to take the Biden tactic. Unable to address facts, he's simply going to hector, interrupt, accuse and mock.
Romney should ready himself for this tactic. He should point out that Barky resorts to these desperate tactics because he cannot allow any discussion of the actual results of his policies.

If obama gets tough, he will be making a terrible mistake. Whites who voted for him did, in large part, because he presented himself as a conciliator, a nice guy and cool. Everybody knew that biden was a fool. So they had low expectations about his behavior. Not the same with barack.

If Obama decides to 'Biden' Romney, then all Romney needs to do is say something like, 'Mr President, millions of Americans have taken the time to tune in tonight to hear us express our visions for this country's future so that they may make an informed choice on November 6th. We owe it them to ensure that they are able to get the information they need. I will allow you to make your points without interruption and I would appreciate the same courtesy.'

I can't understand why they are harping on Bain. I don't know one single person who cares about that.
But - I do know two professional women who are in their late 50s, out of work for almost two years and unable to find a permanent job. They are living on what had been savings for retirement.
Both of typical NYC democrats who will be voting for Romney.

Romney should throw it back at him like Biden tried to throw the stimulus back at Ryan. Romney just has to make sense. He could also remind us that obama has zero business experience to run on, so he's focusing on little insignificant matters. He should also ask, Which do you prefer, Big Bird or Bain?

Romney should say, "The mission of Bain Capital is to empower companies to succeed in the marketplace. The outcome of this is jobs, jobs, jobs. In the process of making investments there are always a few that don't make it. This is all done with private money and well calculated risk taking. Contrary to the government spending billions of taxpayer dollars on losers and cronies." Yes, I hope Obama opens up the Bain Capital discussion, because Romney will flatten him out like a pancake.
Recently, I heard Rick Santorum talk about his debating experience with Romney and he said, "the man is unflappable." Rest assured, Romney will come well prepared and loaded for bear.

Good idea. Steal a page from Joe The Alcoholic's playbook and demonstrate what a rude arrogant imbecile you are. Play the class envy and the race card in the same hand. Raise your voice, interrupt Mitt over and over again, show contempt, make insult after insult, lie about Mitt again and again, and answer simple questions with long winded off the subject answers like you are addressing a losing football team at halftime, and see how that works out for you.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has accepted the resignation of his Prime Minister Salam Fayyad despite pleas from the U.S. and the EU that he retain Fayyad. Actually, I am wrong to say “despite.” According to Fatah officials, U.S. pressure on Abbas to keep Fayyad in power proved counterproductive. Let us not probe the merits of Abbas’ decision to accept Fayyad’s resignation or explore the demerits of Fayyad’s tenure as prime minister.

Few Americans can not answer this question: who is the worst domestic mass murderer in United States’ history? Due to the United States media, most are aware that Timothy McVeigh slaughtered 168 people with a bomb in 1995. Most Americans also know the names of our three most monstrous serial killers: “The Green River Killer” Gary Ridgeway, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy.

Five months after his resounding reelection victory, President Obama is bumping up against the boundaries of his political power in Washington as the core of his second-term legislative agenda moves into a still-divided Congress. His ability to secure the three high- profile legislative items now confronting Congress — gun-control measures, reform of the immigration system and his long-term budget priorities — is likely to determine his domestic legacy. Obama’s plan now is to ensure that as much of his politically challenging agenda as possible is enacted, after months of effort to frame the policies

Evil Mitt Romney paid an effective tax rate of 13% when his returns were released during the 2012 campaign. Now, Barack Obama’s returns were released yesterday, and he paid an effective tax rate of 18%. So, how is it that Barack Obama is more fair, more mainstream, and more American – in the eyes of his liberal base – because he pays 5% more in taxes? Paying 18% is less than the effective tax rate of39% he wants for the job creating and investing class in this country, and 12 % shy

As the Senate prepares to begin debate next week on the biggest gun-control bill in nearly two decades, the gun rights lobby and its Senate allies are working on a series of amendments that could have the opposite effect — loosening many of the restrictions that exist in current law. Most worrisome to those who advocate new gun limits is an expected amendment that would achieve one of the National Rifle Association’s biggest goals: a “national reciprocity” arrangement, in which a gun owner who receives a permit to carry a concealed weapon in any one state would then be allowed

With the Environmental Protection Agency set to play the central role in President Obama’s second-term climate change agenda, would-be agency chief Gina McCarthy on Thursday tried to calm Republican fears that she would continue the perceived “war on coal” and other harsh regulations under her predecessor. She had limited success, as her confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works became as much a back-and-forth about climate change as it did a referendum on whether Ms. McCarthy, a tough-talking New Englander with more than three decades of experience in the sector, is qualified

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do. But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

With President Obama, there’s always a catch. In the 2014 budget he announced last week, Obama proposed a more accurate way of calculating the inflation rate for annual cost-of-living increases in Social Security. It’s a technical change in pursuit of honesty and good government. And if adopted, it would cause benefits to grow more slowly, though almost imperceptibly so. Republican leaders in Congress ought to be delighted since they had “championed”—Obama’s word—the idea in the first place. Then came the catch. The president’s price for adopting this gentle reform was hundreds of billions in new tax increases.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

Remember little Anthony Freemont, played by cute little Billy Mumy, in one of the "Twilight Zone´s" most famous episodes? In the opening sequence Rod Serling informs us: "A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines -- because they displeased him -- and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages -- just by using his mind. . . . and the people there have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield

On Thursday, in the midst of ongoing national debate over prospective gun control and comprehensive immigration legislation, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) said that he didn’t need the approval of a majority of his own party to move forward with legislation. Referring to the so-called Hastert Rule, named after former House Speaker Denny Hastert (R-IL), which dictated that House leadership not bring up any bill for a vote without the support of a majority of the majority party, Boehner said, “Listen: It was never a rule to begin with.” Then, realizing the gravity of admitting

TALLAHASSEE - Picture this: You´re in the left lane of the interstate, driving a little below the speed limit, when some guy zips up behind you and swerves past you on the right. Then you notice the blue lights flashing. You´re savoring the satisfaction of seeing a trooper actually nab an aggressive driver — until you realize it´s you he´s pulling over. This could happen, if not very often, under a major transportation package expected to be taken up in the Senate Appropriations Committee next week. Introduced by Sen. Jeff Brandes, a St. Petersburg Republican, the bill is a 173-page

A few hours after Margaret Thatcher´s death on Monday, the snarling deadbeats of the British underclass were gleefully rampaging through the streets of Brixton in South London, scaling the marquee of the local fleapit and hanging a banner announcing, "THE B@&$! IS DEAD." Amazingly, they managed to spell all four words correctly. By Friday, "Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead," from "The Wizard of Oz," was the No. 1 download at Amazon UK. Mrs. Thatcher would have enjoyed all this. Her former speechwriter John O´Sullivan recalls how, some years after leaving office, she
