Obama the attacker: ‘Hope and Change’ meets swift boat tactics
The Obama campaign is going retro, circa 2004. Back then, President Bush supporters attacked then-Democratic candidate John Kerry on what was supposed to be Kerry's greatest strength -- his military service. A group known as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth undermined that strength, calling into question Kerry's credentials and military awards. And thus was born "swiftboating" -- a term used to describe unfair or untrue political attacks...
Actually, Kerry was and is a lying piece of garbage. And even if he was a war hero like he claimed, look at the damage he did to the country after Vietnam.

New Romney ad accuses Obama of directing stimulus cash to supporters
Mitt Romney continued his war on President Barack Obama's ties to political donors, releasing a new television ad Wednesday that attacks the president for routing taxpayer dollars to supporters and overseas companies.
The spot begins with a shot of burning cash falling across the screen.
"Where did all the Obama stimulus money go?" a narrator asks. "Friends, donors, campaign supporters, special interest groups."
The ad goes after two companies linked to Obama supporters that Romney has repeatedly mentioned
on the campaign trail: the green energy company Solyndra, which filed
for bankruptcy after receiving more than $500 million in federal loans,
and Fisker, a California hybrid car company that builds part of its
automotive fleet in Finland that also received federal money.
The ad ends with footage of New
York Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, speaking at a March 2010 press
conference about a report that found stimulus money being routed
overseas.
"Seventy-nine percent of the $2.1
billion in stimulus grants awarded through it went to overseas
companies," Schumer is shown saying.
The Romney campaign did not say where the ad is running or how large the ad buy is. The spot comes a day after Romney unveiled an aggressive new stump speech attacking Obama on cronyism and for not supporting American innovation and businesses.

Why didn't somebody simply abort that undifferentiated ice mass?
From AP via Yahoo News:
An Israeli lawmaker has torn up a copy of the New Testament in front of cameras in his parliament office.
An aide says Christian missionaries mailed the Christian scripture to Michael Ben-Ari of the ultranationalist National Union Party.
Itamar Ben-Gvir said Ben-Ari, an Orthodox Jew,
was enraged to receive the book, in whose name he says millions of Jews
were slaughtered. Ben-Ari tore it up, he said, then posed for
photographs with the destroyed Bible.
Many Christians over the centuries persecuted Jews, holding them responsible for Jesus' crucifixion.
Government
spokesman Mark Regev said, "We totally deplore this behavior and
condemn it outright. This action stands in complete contrast to our
values and our traditions. Israel is a tolerant society, but we have
zero tolerance for this despicable and hateful act."
Oy vey!
Memo To Mr. Ben-Ari:
May I humbly suggest that you look elsewhere for enemies...
Although it was not clear what caused the blast, Israeli tourists have been targeted overseas before. - AP via Yahoo News
