And despite being a sex manual, it's less graphic than Anthony Weiner's twitter account!<br /><br />Regarding Obama's ever-changing slogans, I'd like to think that his "sloganeers" will be permanently out of work after the election - though I doubt it will be the case.<br /><br />I'd like to see him go back to one of his early favorites: "Who Likes Pie?"<br /><br />@SeaDog- When I think of investing America's tax dollars wisely, I'm not immediately drawn to a FRENCH company with funky technology that is already bleeding money.<br /><br />And per your other points, Obama is the ultimate destroyer of jobs. By many accounts, the economy would have recovered more by now if NOT for the stimulus funds which disrupted the natural system of recovery.<br /><br />And while Obama is making a big (and pointless) noise about China having put a surcharge on American automobiles, he tends not to mention WHY they did it - because the Chinese felt that those automobiles and parts had prices which were artificially low owing to being subsidized by the government. WHICH THEY WERE. If you added that missing $35 billion into the overhead, suddenly GM cars and parts would cost a lot more.<br /><br />Of course, as it IS we're all paying for those cars through our taxes...even though we get neither cars nor profits for our "investment."Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-40122458181456995832012-07-07T05:42:04.383-05:002012-07-07T05:42:04.383-05:00Obama is touting Romney and Bain Capital as a vamp...Obama is touting Romney and Bain Capital as a vampire costing jobs - does anyone know why Saturn is not being used as an example of how Obama cost jobs?

So Obama's team probably thought "Ha! THIS slogan has America in it! Let's see them attack THAT!"<br /><br />So of course, I am, you are, and many other will - because they've associated the future of this great nation with <i>betting</i>. With gambling. With our fates decided by a roll of the dice rather than our actions, our morality, our sense of responsibility, and our constitution.<br /><br />But this isn't inconsistent with the Left's unending claim that people who have worked their way into financial security have merely "won life's lottery." If everyone is equal in every way, then differences in outcome <i>must</i> be due only to chance.<br /><br />Regarding "Investing in America," I like the concept but think it has too much of a monetary, white-collar feel to it for the masses to be drawn to. <br /><br />A playful thought I've had for Romney is a one-word slogan "Obamacure."<br /><br />What do you think?Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-6895244778189900462012-07-06T08:11:09.226-05:002012-07-06T08:11:09.226-05:00@Anonymous- I've got to admit that after Photo...@Anonymous- I've got to admit that after Photoshopping that ticket, I wanted one for that very reason.<br /><br />@Angry Hoosier Dad- Regarding the slogan, notice the subtle shift that Obama is now saying that HE is betting on US...in other words, if the epic FAIL continues, it's our fault - not his.<br /><br />@FlyBoy- Let's don't forget betting on the Muslim Brotherhood, because <i>that's</i> worked out so well, too!<br /><br />And as you point out, the huge, expensive, ominous black bus is actually flown from place to place to serve as a prop for Barry to step out of.

Did he throw that slogan under the bus?<br /><br />But seriously, folks, think about what the word "betting" implies. It's a gamble where you risk something of value (in this case our country) on an uncertain outcome (obama's ability to perform - although, come to think of it, that's not so uncertain. We <i>know</i> he can't get the job done). I don't know about you, but I prefer not to gamble with my well-being, my future, and my prosperity.<br /><br />Romney might want to consider countering with "Investing in America," a much more positive message.<br /><br />Betting v. Investing also draws a pretty good distinction between the two candidates.CenTexTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04026518638421849111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-38244223538015943922012-07-06T08:03:17.965-05:002012-07-06T08:03:17.965-05:00Got my book on the 4th, thanks Stilton.Got my book on the 4th, thanks Stilton.Reiuxcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073609687794199372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-40410914854751011212012-07-06T06:55:43.222-05:002012-07-06T06:55:43.222-05:00Great post again, Stilton!
