This is the same Party that wishes to run the government.
Must be GW's fault! (See 1 below.)

This was sent to me by one of the nation's wealthiest people, one of the most innovative and creative executives. He has been a friend and fellow memo reader for over 30 years.
The math and logic in the article proves , once again, that figures do not lie but Obama does. (See 1a below.)

My friend and fellow memo reader writes a rather harsh piece concerning Hillary and her infamous Muslim intern turned top Aide to the Sec. of State and matters beyond.
I believe Stella has taken some leaps of poetic license but I also believe there is enough truth here to make for an interesting and complex inter-relationship. (See 2 below.)

The article pertaining to BobWodward's new book is too long, even for me, to post but you can go to this site and read it for yourself: "Pretty scathing book about Barry and a White House where no one is in control.

I did not listen to much of Ole Bill's address last night, preferring to watch tennis, though I was sorry to see Federer lose.
What I did catch was Ole Bill claiming Obama was able to garner over $700 billion in savings in Medicare by virtue of closing fraud and waste loopholes etc..
For the sake of discussion let's grant Ole Bill's statement is factually correct.
If that be the case, then I suspect waste and fraud exists in almost all government programs. Why not pursue this fact instead of claiming every time Romney and Ryan propose cuts they are gutting programs on which the poor of America depend
In other words, when Obama cuts it is an act of brilliance and responsibility and when Romney and Ryan propose spending cuts it is an act of the perfidious taking candy from our baby poor and middle class.
Oh well, political rhetoric no longer even possesses a modicum of truth. Say whatever the unwashed and gullible will suck up and get them cheering on the edge of their seats.

1a)The person who calculated this bit of information is now, and has been, a professor at the University of West Virginia in Morgantown for the last forty some years.
He says that:
A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year.
A new vehicle that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons of gas a year.
So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction reduced gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.
The government claims 700,000 clunkers have been replaced so that is 224 million gallons saved per year.
That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.
5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption.
More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars.
So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save $350 million.
They spent $8.57 for every $1.00 they saved.
I'm pretty sure they will do a much better job with our health care, though.
If you don't think the Weiner-Abedin union is a political deal, ask yourself: on what basis could it possibly be anything else? Shortly after their marriage, Weiner committed a Twitterectomy of his career, tweeting lewd photos of himself to young women around the country. But in addition to being a cheating pervert, Weiner is widely known as a nutcase, exposed in the New York Times for temper tantrums that left him unable to keep staff. And he has no money, thereby rendering him unable to provide Huma with the glamorous lifestyle she requires.
COSTELLO: You just said 9%.
ABBOTT: 9% Unemployed.COSTELLO: Right 9% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that's 16%.COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 16% unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, that's 9% .COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 9% or 16%?
ABBOTT: 9% are unemployed. 16% are out of work.COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed.
You have to look for work to be unemployed.
COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!
ABBOTT: No, you miss my point.COSTELLO: What point?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work, can't be counted
with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.COSTELLO: To whom?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work.
Those who are out of work stopped looking. They gave up. And, if you give up,
you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.
COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment roles, that would count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how you get to 9%. Otherwise it would be 16%.
You don't want to read about 16% unemployment, do ya?COSTELLO: That would be frightening.
ABBOTT: Absolutely.COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down,
and the easier of the two is to just stop looking for work.
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like an economist.
COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said!
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a politician.

I’m sure you’ll cover this debacle in your newsletter, but just in case, here is the article. I’m not sure which is more embarrassing: The idiot-mayor of Los Angeles, the vote itself, or the chorus of boos afterward. KFI, a local talk radio station, has a noise meter on their website that “proves” by virtue of the sound level that the 2/3 majority approval was not reached on any of the three votes.

2)Bill and Hillary and Huma and Anthony
By Stella Paul
As Bill Clinton once again takes center stage at the Democratic National Convention, let's amuse ourselves by screening the vilest soap opera in American history: Bill and Hillary and Huma and Anthony.
This one's got it all: two sham marriages, sexual perversions, and national treachery at the highest level. Naturally, the "mainstream media" refuses to inform you of it, but that's why I'm here.
If you've scratched your head trying to puzzle out the complex inter-relationships between these glamorous grifters, stop scratching. I'm about to unveil a Grand Unified Theory that explains why Huma Abedin, the alleged Muslim Brotherhood asset who's the top aide of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, chose to marry disgraced ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner in an interfaith ceremony performed by matrimonial expert Bill Clinton.
America first learned of Huma Abedin in 2007, in a worshipful Vogue article titled "Hillary's Secret Weapon: 
Huma Abedin Oversees Every Minute of Senator Clinton's Day." Featuring glossy photos of designer-clad Huma, the article rhapsodized about her "wrinkle-free" Prada suit, "flawless" skin, and "long, luxurious hair" with "bouncy waves you see mostly in shampoo commercials."
Huma Abedin Oversees Every Minute of Senator Clinton's Day." Featuring glossy photos of designer-clad Huma, the article rhapsodized about her "wrinkle-free" Prada suit, "flawless" skin, and "long, luxurious hair" with "bouncy waves you see mostly in shampoo commercials."
The photo of Huma statuesquely displayed on a chair drew attention, as did the eyebrow-raising descriptions of Huma's and Hillary's mutual adoration. That attention intensified as Hillary became secretary of state and installed Huma as her top aide. Mumblings could be heard about the nature of their relationship and the unusual background of Huma, who grew up in Saudi Arabia.
Someday we may look back upon the intern scandals of the Clinton White House with amazement at our preoccupation with Bill, Monica Lewinsky, and cigars. The bigger scandal may have been in First Lady Hillary's office, where Huma Abedin waltzed into her internship as a new college graduate, despite her screamingly obvious Muslim Brotherhood family ties.
Five Congress members, including Rep. Michele Bachmann, have raised concerns about the Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the federal government, with special emphasis on Huma's role at State. For their trouble, they have been hysterically accused of McCarthy-style witch-hunts, by everyone from Jon Stewart to John McCain to GOP honcho Ed Rollins.
Naturally, Barack Obama defended Huma at his annual Ramadan dinner, praising her as an "American patriot" to whom the American people owe a "debt of gratitude." Surely, that settles it. After all, no one understands American patriotism quite like Barack Hussein Obama.
Nevertheless, despite all the elite venom hurled at Michele Bachman for unmasking Huma, the evidence against Abedin is overwhelming. Andrew McCarthy, Walid Shoebat, and Diana West have factually established that the Muslim Brotherhood is the Abedin family business, and that Huma herself worked in it for years, editing the family's Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs.
Now, let's pave the way for Anthony Weiner, Huma Abedin's national joke of a husband, to make an appearance. Somewhere in 2010, the Clintons may have decided that their public embrace of Huma as their "second daughter" wasn't quite cutting it anymore, and they needed to set up a more conventional-looking arrangement.
Enter Anthony Weiner, the bachelor congressman with a panting lust to be mayor of New York. I suggest that, in classic Clintonian fashion, a deal was struck. The Clintons would endorse Weiner for mayor if he would marry Huma Abedin.
The situation was win-win for everyone. The rumors about Hillary immediately subsided, which pleased Bill, who plans to make her president. Weiner gained the backing of the formidable Clinton machine, thereby sprinting to frontrunner status in the highly competitive mayoralty race. And Huma got to keep her top-secret security clearance at State, and look forward to the day when she could pray in the Ground Zero mosque, gazing down at the World Trade Center site as first lady of New York City.
If you don't think the Weiner-Abedin union is a political deal, ask yourself: on what basis could it possibly be anything else? Shortly after their marriage, Weiner committed a Twitterectomy of his career, tweeting lewd photos of himself to young women around the country. But in addition to being a cheating pervert, Weiner is widely known as a nutcase, exposed in the New York Times for temper tantrums that left him unable to keep staff. And he has no money, thereby rendering him unable to provide Huma with the glamorous lifestyle she requires.
Most importantly of all, Weiner is not a Muslim. Huma's religion allows Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women, but forbids Muslim women from marrying outside the faith. Yet Huma remained unsullied by honor killing threats from the usual Islamic enforcers; instead, the party line seemed to be that Huma's marriage was adorable.
Even now, the outrageous Clintonian shenanigans continue. We've just learned that Huma, her unemployed husband Anthony, and their baby Jordan are moving into a $3.3-million Park Avenue apartment owned by a longtime Clinton crony and top Obama bundler. You and I may have to live within our means, but in Clinton World, such rules never seem to apply.
Now as Bill formally nominates Obama for a second term, both men are complicit in Hillary's scandal that should be the shame of the nation. But what's an historic disgrace to us is less than a shrug to them. Bill has been taking Saudi money by the barrel for years, and Obama admires the Muslim Brotherhood.
In fact, working with Hillary's State Department, Obama has helped to install the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and throughout the Middle East, using the "Arab Spring" turmoil to empower these sworn America-haters.
And now here comes the icing on the treachery cake: Obama and Hillary reportedly have informed Iran that they've abandoned Israel, leaving the only Jewish State to face a nuclear Iran alone. How proud the Abedin family must be of their little girl!
Conventional wisdom has it that Hillary is a formidable contender for president, but I suspect that that may not be true. For one thing, her appearance and behavior are both falling apart, as she drunkenly carouses in public with exclusively female friends. And for another, the American public may not be so forgiving as the Bill and Hillary and Huma and Anthony saga unfolds.
