Good Morning,
Sinking to a new low the Obama camp released a campaign video trying to get the youth vote by comparing voting for the first time to having sex for the first time. “You’re first time shouldn’t be with just anybody. You wanna do it with a great guy…” I showed my 17 year old daughter and she said “OMG How is that even allowed”.
RS writes: First he asked for your wedding gifts, then your yard sales and now he has asked for your daughters. Lena Dunham allows herself to be used in this cheap, last minute attempt to be the first for young women. Dunham, who was raised in a wealthy, over-sexualized household and who started therapy at age 7 must somewhat be forgiven for her role; she seems to have a thing for talking about her first time, the Obama administration was just happy to oblige. The problem is, this is an adult man, with two young daughters, who should know better.
Aside from the obvious, my BIGGEST problem with the video is where she says ‘I wasn’t ready’ at the 0.45 mark. The innuendo with that one line made me scream. Watch the face. The messaging within this one short video is mindboggling and dare I say irresponsible of a President of the United States of America. Pray for America’s children. They are truly the useful idiots to this campaign. And by ‘useful idiots’ I mean a vast swath of citizens in the United States who have been cynically used by the hardcore left for a cause they are unwilling to understand.
Conservatism is SCREAMING FOR US!
BTW Earlier this year, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin released two ads urging young women to make sure their first time is with someone they love. The mainstream media labeled the ads creepy and were clearly turned off by the inappropriate propaganda. Now the question is what excuse will the media and the left find to justify their president mimicking the leader of Russia.
He may not win reelection, but he most certainly has won the award for degrading what should be the highest office in the country.
Best summary I’ve read: The reason Barack Obama is running this ad is because he is done trying to get independent voters. He’s given up. Despite campaign rhetoric about fighting for evangelicals, he’s given up there. He’s given up on Catholic voters. He’s given up on the South. He’s given up on men who have daughters. He’s given up on moms. He’s given up on everyone expect his core base of singles, gays, and minorities, including college kids he is desperate to get back to the polls.
Sick yet? I am.
If you didn’t read yesterday’s piece yet, Conservatism is Calling and It Can’t Wait, http://thedifferencesofus.com/2012/10/25/conservatism-is-calling-and-it-cant-wait/ please do so. We are close to the point of no return.
Don’t think so? Consider this: In a Rolling Stone interview previewed in Politico’s “Playbook” morning email, President Barack Obama reportedly told the Rolling Stone’s Douglas Brinkley that people shouldn’t “underestimate” what he can and will accomplish in a second term if elected.
“We’re going to have a full agenda in the second four years, but people shouldn’t underestimate how much we can get done,” Obama said.
THAT, to me, is CHILLING!
Time to Reconsider the Imperial Presidency by Timothy C. Daughtry
The growth of the imperial presidency, as it was described by historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. in 1973, has for decades distorted the constitutional contract between the presidency and the citizens of the republic. That distortion reached its peak with the fanfare that accompanied Barack Obama’s ascension to power in 2008. Not only has Obama assumed powers never intended for the executive branch, but his messianic posturing raised expectations that could never be fulfilled.
Liberals in particular have not been this silly in love since the heady days of Camelot, as they labeled the magical aura that surrounded the Kennedy administration. Like all such childlike fantasies, however, the hope that Obama could do larger-than-life things had to be dashed upon the hard rock of reality. Now not only do his followers face the difficulty of admitting that he has failed to bring about the promised new age of prosperity at home and security abroad, but they have been disappointed in love to boot.
We can only hope that Obama’s spectacular failures will finally dispel some of the more grandiose myths and dangerous expectations about the American presidency. Though voters may be solemnly warned that we are deciding in November who will “lead the nation” through the turbulent days ahead, or even that we are electing “the leader of the free world,” in reality, we are doing nothing of the sort.
Americans are about evenly divided between those who want to live their own lives with minimal interference from government and those who expect government to meet every need, from wiping their tears to providing free contraceptives. The first group is not looking for someone to lead it, and the blubbers-to-rubbers group will only follow someone who promises to keep the free cell phones coming. Regardless of the outcome in November, we-the-people are too divided to be “led” by the winner. So forget about healing our divisions; just bring sanity to our fiscal mess and call it a job well done.
And as for the international community, other countries have their own agendas, and it is hubris in the extreme to think that they are waiting to be “led” by an American president. It will be more than enough if the next president can simply do a good job of representing American interests on the complex and perilous international stage. “Leading the free world” is too much of a job for any mere mortal.
Of course, our decision in November is critical to the future of the country and will have powerful impact on the world. But let’s be realistic about what we are doing and what we are not doing. We are electing a leader for one of the three branches of the federal government, not a ruler for the nation or a savior for all that ails us. The climate will not change, and the oceans will not rise or fall based upon our choice for president. The next president will not create a single job outside the executive branch of the federal government, and even those jobs will be created with other peoples’ money. Realistically, we are looking for a manager, not a messiah. Grasping that distinction is essential not only to making the right choice in November, but also for restoring the job of president to its intended — and more sensible — place in government.
Romney’s supporters have the advantage of admiring their candidate without having a crush on him. As a result, they can view him in a more realistic light. He is beginning to make the case not only to conservatives who may have doubted him at first, but also to undecided swing voters that he is just what the presidency needs right now: a competent manager who lives and works in the real world.
In a strange way, the vicious personal attacks mounted by the Obama campaign against Romney’s character may have actually helped many voters to come around to his side. When they finally saw Romney in the debates with Obama, Americans saw a decent and successful man who spoke in commonsense terms. He was not the devil he had been painted to be, but neither did he aspire to messianic status. He projects confidence without arrogance. His promise of an “opportunity society” respects the right of individuals to follow their own courses and enjoy or suffer the consequences without unwarranted interference from Big Brother.
Romney has succeeded in the world outside politics, and his run for the presidency feels more like a call to serve than a claim to power by divine right. Perhaps most importantly, Romney has succeeded in doing what the job calls for at this precarious point in our history. He has made a career of putting failing enterprises back on a realistic course.
Maybe that is not enough to make supporters swoon in ecstasy or run a tingle up the leg of Chris Matthews, but that was never the job of a president anyway. Acknowledging that fact would be a healthy step toward restoring the republic.

- On a side note: The Washington Post endorsed Obama again, but also expressed disappointment with his first term.
- Prepare yourself for “Frankenstorm.” http://weather.aol.com/2012/10/25/rare-hybrid-storm-predicted-to-slam-northeast/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D225830
- The MTA is already in planning mode. Ditto the state.
- Schumer contributed $1 million to the DSCC, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand gave $250,000, making them two of the more generous donors to the party’s effort to retain its majority in the Senate.
- Gillibrand leads Long 67 percent to 24 percent, according to a Siena College poll released this morning. The margin is nearly identical to the YNN/NY1/Marist College poll released earlier this week. The survey shows that Long, an underfunded candidate, remains largely unknown to members of both parties. Sixty-seven percent of Republicans answer “don’t know” or “no opinion” of Long, a Manhattan lawyer who bested two elected officials in a GOP primary in June. The poll appears to show Gillibrand, who has spent heavily to put six TV ads on the air, on the verge of a blowout.

Thank you Lisa for update on Wendy Long’s campaign. I just donated $$ to her via her website. It is time to reach into our pockets so that we don’t lose this out-standing candidate.
she talks about a guy, but I guess that was just an example. No way. And yes, (I do )did) want my very first guy to provide health care, you know, just in case I didn’t know him, his background, his past, call list, his name, gender or God forbid, if he would ever call me again! A woman’s right to choose? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm………
