1 That isn't a goose that is a kick to the nads

2 Pudding o'clock.

3 ROMNEY 2012 so we can do fine again!!!!

4 Hmm, is it just me or are both ads the same Romney ad. Still, it is a killer! I love how quickly Romney is responding to stupid stuff SCOAMF says!

5 Petard.

Hoisted.

Own.

Some assembly required.

6 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

7 Egads!  It's almost as if this Obama fellow has no idea of what he's doing!

8 Oh weird, if I click on the Obama ad before going through the comments link, it's Romney's ad. If I click on it after hitting comments, it's Obama's.

9 Interesting that the Romney campaign classifies it as their first negative ad.  I would have thought that they had a built in defense against that charge since Obama supposedly didn't go negative in 2008.   Unless, of course, they're highlighted that Obama did run a negative campaign in 2008.

10 msnbc still under the mistaken belief that the scoamf is a great communicator.......

11 Yes, what's good for the goose is pudding for the gander!

12 recycled tune to boot

13 The Obama ad was brilliant. This piece of negative Romney advertising funded by shadowy figures is disrespectful, racist, and every right thinking American should denounce it.

14 Too bad the ad was put together before today's news:

U.S. foreclosures up for 1st time in 27 months

Overall foreclosure activity, which includes default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions, affected 205,990 properties in May, a 9.1 percent increase from April.

15 Hey, they're using the same music and everything!  Can they do that?

16 Maybe there is something to the magic underwear enlarging the testicals.

17 Keep 'em coming Mittster!

18 Private Sector hasn't done me in a long, long time.

19 ..........taken out of context in 5...4...3...2...1...

20 Megatonnage! Or, they could interview me on the economy. Tight shot, talking head, vintage Zappa soundtrack. http://tinyurl.com/7d384kn. "The plastic's all melted, and so is the chrome."

21 Mama- the only reason the foreclosures were ever down was that the Gov threatened the banks into a moratorium. That and the glut of properties they already own and have no way of managing.

22 The romney ad is more powerful juxtaposed to the obama ad.  If you've never seen that obama ad, it's not as powerful but still gets the point across.

23 The ad needed a baby with flies buzzing it. Not a Mitt fan, but I am glad and appreciate he is fighting to win it seems. Good staff?

24 To be fair to Barry, when he asks me how I'm doing and I say "Fine" it usually means he's in deep poo poo.  He just projected that on to the private sector.

25 Foreclosures have held off because the banks would rather write off payments each month than the whole amount of the mortgage all at once. When you hear that the average foreclosure takes 24 months or something like that, that is the reason why. There is a bubble out there - I think they are hoping things will come back but they can't keep doing it forever.

26 typical McCain tripping on his own tongue

You want UNPRECEDENTED?

dammit. Eyes wide open: Romney will approve more tax funded bail-outs for the global pirates of "investment" gambling on WORTHLESS derivatives. Make him promise he won't. Then cry another river when he does. EURO ...

28 The romney ad needs more cat piss. I love cat piss.

29 good morning catpiss troll! how are you today? i saw that liberals hate mormons and i thought of you! have a glorious (gloryhole) day!

30 Democrats in Congress essentially ignored plausible constitutional objections to the ACAÂ’s individual mandate, and therefore have only themselves to blame if the law is declared unconstitutional.

Some have theorized that this could help Obama by taking the issue of Obamacare off the table. That seems unlikely. Rather, such a ruling would confirm in votersÂ’ minds that Obama took his eye off the ball by focusing on health care rather than the economy during the first year of his administration.

31 >>>Foreclosures have held off because the banks would rather write off payments each month than the whole amount of the mortgage all at once.


This makes sense too. Now if only I could figure out why they are content to allow the homes they do foreclose on to rot rather than sell them...

32 Doing fine is racist!!!

33 This ad sucks and is a waste of Money. FIRE your ad agency NOW Mitt.

41 Aight. One of you folks that I already know and trust, tell me what this catpiss business is about and what this oZfic business is about.

42 You stupid wingers are going to all jizz in your pants over 6 little words that you racist, bitter clinging knuckle draggers are taking out of context. Geez, get a life! President Obama didn't mean that the economy is doing fine. What he said is that big, greedy corporations are making money hand over fist, but because of the protection they receive from Rethugulicans in Congress and George Bush, they aren't paying their fair share. We little people are suffering, and President Obama knows that. He and the Democrats are trying do the right thing and get relief for us regular folks. It's not fair that rich Republicans have all the money and good paying jobs! You all lie and you suck, and you know it. I can't wait til November when the Democrats take back the house and President Obama beats Mitt Romney like a bongo drum. Right now, I'm going to spend all my time and energy helping people register to vote. I'm volunteering in Hispanic neighborhoods and cemeteries, so take that wingers! I'm getting a free iPhone 5 when it comes out this summer from President Obama's stash. He really knows how to take care of us people working on his campaign!

The reason foreclosures were down is that the banks were stuck in the robo-signing scandal and DOJ litigation.   Now that that is settled, 2012 will be a big year for foreclosures.

A host of reasons all coming due at once.  IOW, shit just got real.

59 0Zfic-mandias, your works will be forgotten.

60 Had Obama faced the real estate bubble head-on and said, through policy, "You people who borrowed more than you could pay back are going to have to return to renting," the recovery would have started in time for 2012. Instead he rolled out program after program to string these bad loans along, and the housing market's taking longer to rebuild than the World Trade Center.

Responsible homeowners can't move for work opportunities because it will turn their paper losses into actual dollar losses.

When Reagan inherited a badly dysfunctional economy, he bit the bullet, getting Volcker's cooperation in raising interest rates to squeeze out inflation. It cost him in the 1982 elections and in Bob Dole's TEFRA, which gave back some of the Kemp-Roth tax benefits, but by mid-1983 the recovery was underway and would deliver him a landslide in November 1984.

61 >>He really knows how to take care of us people working on his campaign!

Ayup.

People have been predicting this for a long time. Contrary to the MFM the housing market has not hit bottom yet in a lot of places.


***

Inventory in the Philly burbs is piling up by the minute. Driving around, there are houses that are bank owned not even listed for sale yet...the infamous shadow inventory. I'm on a list to get sale properties sent to me, there are bank-owned houses that started at $189k now down to $125k. Buyers forego them because there are so many houses in that range they can buy that don't need work. And this is in a decent area - the lower income areas are experiencing a bloodbath.

 

IMO the most painful stat in regards to Average Joe/Jane voter: most who bought homes two years ago, thinking they were purchasing at the bottom...are already underwater.

66 Hahahahahaha!

I love how they repeated it one last time while showing a picture of Mitt and his wife.
Classic.

67 Doing fine? That's a clown question, bro'

68 Imagine the housing going into another huge dive towards the end of this Summer.  I have friends in CA who are underwater to the tune of well over a hundred thousand dollars.

I saw a new Romney Day One ad last night which makes I believe three different variants on that ad.  I think they are all effective because it sets out a positive agenda while still managing to stick the knife in and twist it around.

 

Might I mention just how happy I am to be living in a battleground state?  FML, seriously.  I am going to end up throwing a boot through my happy shiny tv, I know I am.

72 I'll add this: "curious" is a stealth troll, an infiltrator. This type of troll may seem a bit weird, but is not an obvious threat, then later the subtle trolling becomes clear. Or, just a nut.

73 When Reagan inherited a badly dysfunctional economy

======================
He spent a lot of time talking about the economy he inherited, right? Every speech, every campaign stop, correct?

74 wait a sec, impossible for Gabe to claim this after he flooded my facebook debate w/ other co-bloggers on the subject with likes for everyone who disagreed with me on banning catpiss

75 I think that the hyperinflation that the President wanted hasn't happened yet much to his dismay - I think that was the plan to deal with the housing and student debt bubbles. Still is.

B) You told us your plans would help and if they didn't we could vote you out.

C)    In the private sector, if you show yourself unable to turn a problem around in 4 years, you don't get re-hired.  Why then should we renew your contract?

I must disagree.

You've got to admit that those that bought with that First Time Home buyer $10k stimulus bait back in 2009 have it far worse.  They bought into the government propaganda even earlier than those 2011 saps and are now kicking themselves for reaching for that 10k cheese in the trap.

That infamous line from Animal House seems appropriate here:
"You fucked up, you trusted us."

83 Winning.

84 Pure genius? Obama served up a hanging curveball, and that ad amounted to an infield single.

85 @81: a schadenboner??

86 (ABC) Can President Obama reset his campaign with today's speech in Ohio? That is certainly the White House's plan for the president today, even though his aides will tell you this speech was planned long before these tough recent weeks for the president, capped by his "the private sector is fine" press conference last Friday

What Obama now faces is a much tougher road because the economy isn't getting the kind of take off his team hoped for, or expected, earlier this year.  The dilemma is underscored by the ABC  News poll just released that shows a majority of voters don't favor the president's economic plan. The numbers are especially bad among independent swing voters.



Oh dear, the MFM is fretting for its boyfriend.

87 Gee, and if the Indonesian Idiot says that this ad is "negative" then you get to point backward at his ad, so he can't say anything. Fucking brilliant.

88 BRILLIANT AD. CNN, MSNBC, ABC/NBC/CBS wont touch it though. It'll only be Fox that covers it.

89 Obama fucked up.

He trusted himself.

90

On the why do banks let houses rot after foreclosure thing, there are a few problems.  First, if the banks let all the inventory onto the market at once, housing prices will crater even more.  Second, for awhile banks were using a scheme whereby the foreclosure would be finalized, the sale held, the former owners evicted but the bank would never file the foreclosure deed with the register of deeds.  This meant that the owner of record for tax purposes and for fines by the city for lack of maintenance was still the foreclosed property owner. I know there was some movement to do away with that but I haven't kept up with those attempts.  Third, people can't qualify to buy homes so why try to market something you know you can't sell. 

 

There's a major issue with liability for what are effectively abandonded bank owned properties.  When the house is turned into a meth lab/crack den and when the house burns to the ground and takes the neighborhood with it, is the bank liable?  That's still an open question in many areas.

Exactly!  This is why hubris was such a big deal to the Greeks (The good, ancient ones, not their worthless modern-day remnants).  Pride to the point in believing in your own infallabilty always leads to disaster.
It's one thing to write your press releases, it's another to actually believe them.

93

Remember Amber Lee Ettinger, a.k.a "Obama Girl," who confessed she had a "crush on Obama" in the smash viral video hitof the 2008 campaign?

Well, get ready for "Obama Boy."

"Hey Barry, it's me," Justin Brown, a.k.a "Obama Boy," says at the beginning of the new video, released last week. "If you're there, pick-up already. I was just watching you on LOGO."

The new music video, written and directed by New York-based filmmaker John Duarte, is both a response to "Obama Girl"--which was viewed more than 24 million times on YouTube--and a tribute to the president's historic support of same-sex marriage.

The lyrics to "Obama Boy" include plenty of double entendre ("I can't wait to see you get hard on Romney in debate") and LGBT talking points:

Just what Barry needs a gay black singing about his love for Barry

96 Gabe, Really? In as few words as possible, Curious who changes its nic constantly (but hasn't figured out how to change its IP yet) is a troll who derails every flippin' thread it shows up on. It is a nut, but it is also a troll. We are ALL sick of her or him. It says its a she but I have my doubts. Regardless, it likes to seem innocuous but post links constantly which are arguments against the conservative position. Originally, it would try to be "curious" about why if the right said *this* why it found a stupid link that refuted it with *that*. Now it just posts its links some which are nothing and others which are liberal propaganda. Constant links everyday, one of which at least was animated pron. She/he has insulted almost all of us in some way and is stupid as well. She/he especially hates moronettes.

Yes, I forgot about that sorry group. I finally submitted an offer after looking at about 70 houses. The offer was on a short sale. The seller's agent told my agent I should forget about it since the competing bid was "considerably higher". Mine was a cash offer so I figured I had a fighting chance. Something didn't sit right with me, so I would go back to the property from time to time, and find notices pasted on the door regarding winterizing. The only time I've seen that happen is when the bank takes the house back.

 

Bottom line, my bid expired, no one got the house, it's technically still for sale. I feel bad for the seller because I think they're being played by the bank, which is one of those that just settled with DOJ.

 

It is a freakin jungle out there.

Prices of homes actually ticked up during the $10K stimulus for First Time Home buyers.  Especially as it was about to expire for the last time and it was obvious there would be no more extensions.  So those poor saps are worse off than if they had stayed out of the market.  I believe the $10K has to be paid back at some point.  (Well not that it ever will be with Barky O'Dogeater setting the rules)

107 Egypt parliament to be dissolved after ruling- court official Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:51pm GMT Print | Single Page [-] Text [+] CAIRO, June 14 (Reuters) - A constitutional court ruling on Thursday means that the whole of the lower house of Egypt's parliament will be dissolved and a new election will have to be held, the court's head Farouk Soltan told Reuters by telephone after the ruling was issued. "The ruling regarding parliament includes the dissolution of the lower house of parliament in its entirety because the law upon which the elections were held is contrary to rules of the constitution," he said, speaking two days before another election to pick a new president. Soltan said the ruling was binding on all institutions of state, adding that it would be up to the executive to call for the new election that he said would take place. Can you say Mayhem and violence?

108 Yeah, thanks guys. Just didn't know ya'll had changed Curious' name to Catpiss. Salient detail.

109 "Doing Fine?"

Every stimulus tax funded "gift" Obama has processed NEVER reached the "intended" target named by Congress. Rather, tax funded stimulus packages have consistently represented rewards, squandered on corrupt political pirates with sticky fingers and deep pockets representing the very parties who cheated in the first place. And in reality, that was the intent all along, and remains so. Whether Mortgages, Student Loans, "Green Clean" Energy, none of those allocated tax funds implement what politicians promised taxpayers and voters.

Our government has become organized crime.

Romney won't take a stand against that, exposing the very people funding his campaign, let alone prosecuting corruption.  If he would, he would have. And his most ardent Republican Leadership supporters won't, either. They profit, regardless of which party wins. The only question is by how much. No doubt who pays, either.

Schade, Obama. Völlig, Romney.

The response everytime B.O. says "I inherited it"... "Headwinds"...blah, blah, blah EVERYTIME should be:

“I will be held accountable,” Obama said. “I’ve got four years and … A year form now, I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress, but there’s still going to be some pain out there … If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”

Obama is already running ads in northeast PA, which is solid blue.

Why would he waste his money like that?
 

NEPA is not really solid blue, Stroudsburg and Scranton maybe but counties like Wayne...forget about it.  His stance on coal is killing him there. The worst part is it's the same ad, over and over about 1 whiney bitch who thought she could coast for a few more years till retirement but when Bain took over, she got the boot. Ugg, I can't find the remote fast enough.

131

Well he came in last night for a fundraiser and the dipshits came to protest were lamenting the fact that he was charging $10,000 for a picture. Completely lost on them is that Obama charges four times as much for his celebrity Hollywood shindigs.

He even charges four times that much for fundraisers in Philadelphia, he was just here to hold three events: $40k/plate for the big shots, then there was a $10k/plate event for the semi-rich, then a $250/ ticket bash for the proles.

I don't have a link to this; it was in a weekly email from the International Risk Management Institute, but a little googling/binging would doubtless turn it up.  My editorial comment is this:  "Uh-oh."

 

"After 5 consecutive months of modest growth in demand for design services, as measured by the American Institute of Architects Architecture Billings Index (ABI), design firms reported a slight decline in billings for April. Although industry observers were hoping to see an ongoing pattern of growth, however modest, the April index is consistent with a number of other measurements of economic conditions, including construction employment, which has moderated expectations regarding the pace of recovery.

"The Midwest (ABI of 50.1) and Northeast (51.0) reported modest growth in billings, albeit less than in recent preceding months. The South region continued to slide, falling from an ABI high of 54.4 in November to 49.0 in April. The West (48.0) region remains the weak link, despite a slight drop in the rate of decline over the past few months.

"Although the commercial/industrial sector continues to lead the industry, the April ABI of 53.8 represents a drop in the rate of growth. The institutional sector remains weak, as ABI fell to 46.6 in April.

"As a leading economic indicator of construction activity, the ABI reflects the approximate 9-12-month lag time between architecture billings and construction spending."

139 I doubt Ebola will be able to take defeat in November. He'll see it coming months earlier and will quit. Biden/Pelosi 2012!

165 Is this ad as hard hitting as it could be, absolutely not.   But it's early in the campaign.   If Romney goes straight to eleventy, there's not where to go from there, and he could easily alienate some people.   Here, it's more like a boa constrictor - tightening, tightening.

All he has to do is wait for Obama to say something stupid again and respond.   Given the combination of the VeryBadMonth Obama's having and his inherent narcissism, it won;t take long - I make the over/under a week.

The original point as I stated.

If you want to argue that Mubarak is being given the same quality treatment in Egyptian prison hospital as was provided by Egyptian hospital for the deposed Shah of Iran (whom Carter refused US hospitalization), it would not be surprising coming from you. You're on a roll, after all.

222 Why would we even get involved in a Syrian Civil war? Doesn't anyone look back on recent history. It's not like we can change the political outcome. The entire middle east is a rudderless ship packed with explosives and heading for a reef. As long as that reef is not in American territorial waters, I could give a shit.

296 You're so Bain, you probably think the ad is about you ...

At DreamWorks Studios, Steven Spielberg spent three hours explaining how to capture an audience’s attention and offered a number of ideas that will be rolled out before Election Day. An early example of Spielberg’s influence is RomneyEconomics.com, a website designed by the Obama team to tell the story—a horror story, by their reckoning—of Mitt Romney’s career at Bain Capital. Afterward, Spielberg insisted that Messina sit down with the DreamWorks marketing team. Hollywood movie studios are expert, as presidential campaigns also must be, at spending huge sums over a few weeks to reach and motivate millions of Americans.

301 So there was Affirmative Action in WW II? I think they called it luck back then

302 Multiple, previously highly credible, sources close to the Gunwalker investigation report that there are at least one and perhaps two sources within the Department of Justice headquarters who have approached the Issa Committee seeking whistleblower status. One source, who reported that there were at least two of Eric Holder's subordinates who "came in from the cold," characterized them as "high-level" DOJ employees "with knowledge of Eric Holder's actions before and after" the 4 February 2011 DOJ letter denying that the DOJ and its subordinate agencies knew about "gunwalking." That letter has since been admitted by DOJ to have been a lie. If true, one or both of these whistleblowers may be the so-called "mole" -- a source within DOJ said to have been leaking documents, including the wiretap affidavits, to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

What they bring with them from the cold, according to one source, is "the keys to the kingdom as far as Holder is concerned," adding "if this comes out before the (contempt) vote (on 20 June), then Holder is toast." Said another, "not even Boehner will be able to stop it. Hell, he'll really jump on board and act like it was his idea."

303 Losses from the 1980s S and L crisis were justfinally paid in the lastfew years. They can take a hundred years to pay you back and you would have no recourse.

And you base this assertion on what?  Are you saying we're the only ones paying more for food and energy?  LOL. 

 

I guess the increased cost of oil extraction and global increases in food demand have nothing to do with it...  Not all price increases are synonymous with inflation.

 

QE has been more than offset by the collapse in the velocity of money.  It's not out there driving up demand.  The bulk of QE is still sitting around in banks doing nothing.  Without lending, there is no demand driven inflation.

 

When the economy picks up (if ever) we will need to worry about the money stock.  Until then, there are bigger policy problems.  Specifically, those holding back the recovery.

328 Also, bringing a VP from the northeast and a state he won't carry... hmm. Rudy bring NJ, and I've seen some bad NY polling for Obama Are you referring to Adm. McRaven?

Bush had been unable to in 1992. “Bush tastelessly did it often from the ninth hole and from the cigar boat and other places. And the impression you got was that he was out of touch,” Axelrod said. “You still like to beat up on Bush?” Callaway asked. “It’s the only thing we have left,” Axelrod responded.

340 Nevergiveup,

You have a problem with Goldwater Republicans, with Eisenhower Republicans, and with Taft Republicans, then admit how avidly "perfect" your own views are, and how UNNECESSARY TO ELECTORAL VICTORY my concerns are, being irrelevant so far as you deem. That you go so far as to call the truth a lie tells all.

When you find yourself in a fundamentalist Muslim operated hospital intent on your physical demise in the most painful fashion, remind yourself that the defibrillator is never misused. It's a good thing. Just like an alliance with al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood when you pay and train them to do whatever. What ever could go wrong? Gaddafi's gone, Libya has "Democracy" /and you make fun of others in D'Nile/.

Back in the day, my dad taught in Libya in a university exchange program for three years.  Despite his evils, Gaddafi actually invested Libyan oil revenues to modernize Libya, providing infrastructure and free education hiring the best foreign experts to educate Libyan students, hence a literate population if nothing else boasting women's professional opportunities. Not America. But at least Gaddafi provided food, housing and education and jobs for his various populations and maintained the peace between the tribes -- a thorn in the side of those who denounce the evils of Socialism. And socialism, in America, is not the constitutional ideal, and never will be. There are rules understood by everyone in the Middle East. Unless you are indigenous, you don't belong there. (Even being indigenous no longer determines security as to "belonging" as "infidels" are terminated. Sound familiar?)

Produce reliable reports from Libya and Egypt of improved living standards for the mass population, and for the minority indigenous Christian population, not to mention whichever Muslim sects are not the majority per local fundamentalist "government". NATO forces bombed the civilians' infrastructures, not simply "government" strongholds. It wasn't just Gadaffi annihilated, or the forced removal of Mubarak from public life, but the well being of the previously stable social structure in Libya and Egypt that NATO bombed.  Waterlines, roads, hospitals, schools, homes: BOMBED. Even were the US taxpayers to be forced via POTUS foreign aid allocations to rebuild what we've destroyed abroad, without the stability that we forcibly removed, don't hold your breath in hopeful expectation. Even Jean Kirkpatrick admonished American neoconservative foreign policy to realize that strongman nations don't really change, just names change.

" No to Intervention in Syria "

There are only two viable supply routes to our troops in Afganistan, Russian and Pakistan.

 

Pakistan has blocked our supply routes, and are playing humble the SuperPower to reopen them....

 

So that leaves Russian supply routes... which they will close if we try to intervene in Syria.

 

Obama and Clinton are stupid to have put us in this position... and the Pentagon Generals have to be either blind, or stupid, to have allowed this.

I haven't given it a moment's thought. I'm sure that when one of your neighbors does a shitty job of skinning a possum, you don't feel the need to go hunting for one so that you can prove to him how poorly he did with his.

And you base this assertion on what? Are you saying we're the only ones paying more for food and energy? LOL.

I guess the increased cost of oil extraction and global increases in food demand have nothing to do with it... Not all price increases are synonymous with inflation.

QE has been more than offset by the collapse in the velocity of money. It's not out there driving up demand. The bulk of QE is still sitting around in banks doing nothing. Without lending, there is no demand driven inflation.

When the economy picks up (if ever) we will need to worry about the money stock. Until then, there are bigger policy problems. Specifically, those holding back the recovery.

I  base  it  on  the  prices  of  commodities.  What  do  you  think  caused   the  outbreak  of   Arab  spring  in  North Africa?  Their   food  costs  doubled  in  a  month;  lots  of  countries  don't  have  any  slack  and    the   Bernake's  QE-1  hit   the  countries  living  on  the  margin  hard. 

 

One  other  thing,  that  excess  liquidity  isn't  sitting  in  the  bank's   vaults,  liquidity  always  chases  yield  and  since  the  Bernake  was  ass-raping  savers  with  his  ZIRP  that  liquidity  ran  into  commodities  in  search  of  yield   and  energy  prices  spiked  not  because  of  increased  demand,  demand  has  fallen  off  the  cliff,  they  spiked  because  oil  is  traded  in  dollars.   We're  seeing   currency  inflation  which  is  causing  margin  compression  and  demand  destruction.  If  we  keep  emitting  unbacked  dollars   even   the  Bernake  knows  it  will   cause  a  currency  collapse  and  the  asset  deflation  he's  been  trying  so  hard  to  avoid.

397 What do you think caused the outbreak of Arab spring in North Africa?

One other thing, that excess liquidity isn't sitting in the bank's vaults, liquidity always chases yield and since the Bernake was ass-raping savers with his ZIRP that liquidity ran into commodities in search of yield and energy prices spiked not because of increased demand, demand has fallen off the cliff, they spiked because oil is traded in dollars.

Posted by: Larsen E. Whipsnade at June 14, 2012 12:32 PM (6BgmB)

 

 

 

Last I checked, North Africa doesn't buy its food with dollars.  That problem was the result of rising food prices driven by demand increases corresponding with dramatic reductions in supply - specifically the wheat harvest failures in Russia and Australia.  I'll even conceed that ethanol production didn't help matters (though I think it was trivial in its impact).  Lest we forget, Russia actually banned wheat exports after the big crop fire - I don't know whether those were lifted yet.  QE did not starve the Arabs (though that would also be a big plus in my book and a reason for more QE if that were true).  Nature and a more affluent Asian population starved the arabs. 

 

Re liquidity, most of the QE existed only for the purpose of recapitalizing the banks.  The banks weren't the ones running out to invest in commodity speculation - they instead dumped the money largely into treasuries, as per the design of the plan.  Plenty of other yield seekers were indeed speculating in commodities, but that's to be expected when other investments aren't able to generate a reasonable profit, as tends to happen in a bad economy. 

 

Re energy demand, yes - it's down HERE - but the supply is also greatly constrained.  Minimal gulf production.  Libyan crisis.  Older fields dying off.  Newer fields have slow flow rates, even if the reserves are huge.  Further, demand continued to increase in Asia - India and China both increased consumption during this time.  Supply uncertainty due to various unhappy global events also added a fear premium.

 

So, let's say I'm all wet on this.  What was the alternative to QE?  Leave the banks undercapitalized to the lending system would freeze up even worse?  I suppose the easy answer is to say we should have let it all fall down and then rebuild, but I think that's about the riskiest proposition you can go with.  Once productive capacity is destroyed it's damn hard to rebuild.  And if you want to talk about "ass raping" the savers - let them enjoy some nice systemic bank failures and see how much they like that. I suspect that suddenly their 1/2% return, along with capital preservation, will look damn good.

 

You can't just look at prices increasing in certain specific sectors and say we have inflation.  Supply and demand are critical considerations, and we conservatives should know better than anyone about that.  I hate Obie and his cronies at least as much as anyone alive, but I'm not going to distort reality to fit my hates.  Obviously we can't sustain trillion dollar deficits ongoing without eventually getting high inflation, but given the huge unemployment and open productive capacity in the US, inflation isn't our most immediate problem.  That will come later.  Our most immediate problem is figuring out how to get people working again and feeling like there is hope for an economic future.

That Romney ad attacking Oblahblah is fucking awesome.

You want to know what's so awesome about it?

The average voter is not going to know (or even care much) that Romney's ad is mockingly trading on Obama's ad from back in 2008.
So, there is no chance that its mimicking feature is going to influence vote share in the slightest.

Rather, Romney's ad is a crystal clear sign to the Obama campaign (and to us Romney supporters) that Romney is not going to be playing nice. Not in the slightest.

To the average voter, that ad effectively and accurately highlights that Obama is out of touch with a failing economy that his policies (by implication) have worsened. Good.

To the Obama campaign, that ad is a glaring, red neon sign that says: "We are coming for you, fuckers. And we want you to know it."

Ever since the GOP Florida primary, I have had no doubt that Romney would not hesitate to come after his political opponents with a meat cleaver.

Romney is No Holds Barred. - And he won't let you tap out.

Say your prayers, Team Obama.
