Obama: Incomplete Answer

Paul Ryan Answers the Questions

As the Main Stream Media (MSM) goes after the Romney-Ryan GOP ticket in the final 2 months of the Presidential campaign - some challenging questions are being asked.   If you search www.youtube.com for Paul Ryan speeches, you'll find a fresh approach to answering questions from the media.   Mr. Ryan actually answers questions.    This compares to the Obama approach of dodge the question, change the subject and then blame others for the present problems.  Thus week the question "du jour" has been the famous line from the presidential debate between "one-term President Jimmy Carter" and the challenger, Governor Ronald Reagan:  "Are you better off now than four years ago?".   The Governor of Maryland said "No" earlier this week, until the Democrat party operatives called and told him to "change the answer", which he has dutifully been trying to do since giving his original honest answer.  But the bet answer was from President Obama, who was asked in Colorado Springs to grade his performance with the US economy and responded "incomplete".   Really?

Here is how Paul Ryan responded to the tough round of questions from the CBS news team (who are in Charlotte, NC at the Democrat convention).

Only an academic or silver tongued lawyer would answer the "Are you better off" question as Barak Obama did: "incomplete".    So he dodged the question, attempted to change the subject, and then (as he has been prone to do) blamed others for the poor economy.

The transcript of Obama's "incomplete" grade that he gave himself on the economy:

Dianne Derby: Your party says you inherited a bad situation. You've had three and a half years to fix it. What grade would you give yourself so far for doing that?

President Obama: You know I would say incomplete...but what I would say is the steps that we have taken in saving the auto industry, in making sure that college is more affordable andinvesting in clean energy and science and technology and research, those are all the things that we are going to need to grow over the long term.

So after 3 1/2 years on the job, and the Presidents's policies are not working, he gives himself a grade of "incomplete"?    Looks like it is time to elect a new President!

Previous Obama supporter switches

President Obama is losing support each day, as former Democrats and supporters look for an alternative for President in 2012.    Here is the latest former Congressman (D-Alabama) to switch parties and become a Republican.

Former Democratic Congressman Artur Davis once supported candidate Obama, but he explains that what he voted for in 2008, isn't what America has seen in Obama's 1st term in office.    Now he's a Republican looking at the better alternative, the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney.

MainStreamMedia gets one Right!

It is not often that the Main Stream Media (MSM) gets a story right.   Don Lemon, a Cable News Network (CNN) reporter on Monday April 23rd delivered an excellent "No Talking Points" monolog.
Watch it here:http://mrctv.org/videos/has-cnns-don-lemon-turned-obama

In the story on CNN, normally a cable news network that acts as a spokesperson(s) network for President Obama, Mr. Lemon actually pulls together the "name & blame" approach taken by the White House and lays the issue on the line (to the President).    Essentially, quit blaming the former President (Bush) for issues that have occurred on your watch, Mr. President (Obama).    What a novel concept:   accountability!

Rick Perry Enters the Presidential Race

It's official:  Rick Perry, the Republican Governor of Texas has entered the 2012 Presidential race.  Over the weekend, from a starting point in South Carolina, the popular Texas governor burst upon the national stage.    Following his announcement, Governor Perry traveled to New Hampshire and then to Iowa to meet voters in the heartland.

Here is his interview with Fox News  http://www.therightscoop.com/perry-i-hope-im-obamas-worst-nightmare

With President Obama's poll numbers sliding below the 40% level, and (according to Rassmussen Reports) his negative spread is -22.       So with the Republican field flexing it's muscle, and the loyal opposition (the GOP is surging) taking on the Main Stream Media (MSM) and the Democrat in the White House, Governor Perry's entrance into the competitive field make it that much more interesting.

Take some time to check out each GOP candidate for President.  And contrast their message for American with the worn out liberal approach being taken by President Obama.     Too bad we can't move the general election up to November 2011!
