Obama Now Hitting Romney on... Wind Energy
— Ace

True, he's in Iowa, so it's a local pander, and thus not quite as useless as it might seem.

Plus, he seems to think this "binder" thing is a real vote-getter.

Calling for more teachers, Pres Obama says "We donÂ’t have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified...women ready to learn and teach."

Via @markknoller.
We're now 20 days from the election and Obama is running on a portfolio of Lily Ledbetter, Wind Energy, and binders.

And here, meanwhile, is what Romney is running on:

Seems rather... bigger, eh?

Thanks to @slublog.

17 This  is  why  I think it  may  be difficult to flip Iowa.   The state's interest is bascially getting subsidies from the federal government - not the voters,  but that powers that be in the state.  So  even though the  voters  themselves should be in the GOP wheelhouse, it  is hard to reach them on that alone.

They can only use a little hydro-electric (since lefties generally make all sorts of roadblocks to anything that touches a puddle or a stream, let alone an actual river) but they have to have scarlet Hs painted on their faces if they do.

Teachers are hired and paid by local taxpayers.

 

During the reign of Clinton, thousands of cops were hired because Clinton sent some money that way for a year or two.

 

But then the cash from DC dried up, and local taxpayers had to pay the freight for all those cops.

 

There isn't any money coming from DC to hire teachers, and local districts are cash-poor because tax revenue is down, and payments to pensions/retiree healthcare are WAY up.  The public pension crisis is about to explode, and yet it's not getting a whole lotta coverage nationally.

72 Okay, so I thought that TFG was hitting on the "binders" thing because... I'm not sure really- because if there were enough to fill "binders" with resumes at least some of the initial candidates should have been female? 

But, no, it seems to him the problem is with organizing the resumes.

His problem is that Mitt Romney decided to take an organized approach to selecting the best candidates he could- knowing that political realities (as well as the kind of "multiple viewpoints" nature of a Governor's cabinet) meant that he had to have some women in top positions.

WTF?

The Binders thing....is a joke....heck I have binders with files full of information....including one with resumes from men and women....so if I say can you pull some female resumes from the binder I sure as heck think only in the sense of who sent them....but guess what OBAMA you still have to get them out of the BINDER to see who IS QUALIFIED YOU IDIOT!

 

I mean uh...yeah Obama Mitt means there are little midget women tucked into binders that he pops up as needed...I mean it is insulting.  Yet read the former head of Obama's Economic Adviser....a female that said she was treated LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT by the Obama Adm....Or the 18 percent less that women were paid in Obama's Adm...Does Obama really want that bought up?

Did not also Romney say that instead of wasting 90 billion dollars on Green Energy programs...could we not use that money to HIRE MORE TEACHERS instead???  This was in the first debate!

 

The teacher argument falls flat as well!

My office, and the office of every working person I know, is full of binders. 

I guess this highlights a difference between me and others who work (like Romney), and Obama.

105 'alling for more teachers, Pres Obama says "We donÂ’t have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified...women ready to learn and teach." ' Well apparently he DOES need a binder to find and hire qualified women for his own staff. He apparently also needs a binder to find qualified black people for his Chicago campaign headquarters, which, according to the photo looks pretty much all white. Well, there are a few Asians, so I guess we can call that diversity.

119 So Mitt Romney researched the field of potential employees to accumulate the list of accomplished women available that filled an entire binder, and then some.

Meanwhile, the guy who refuses to pay women equally for the same work in his own White House administration throws a tantrum because Axelrod and Jarrett never collected a binder full of qualified women to employ or at least to provide or share references to private or public employers.

The only promise that Obama gave was to make sure that HIS daughters have it made.

134 They're both wrong on this "looking for women" thing the same way that the idea of "equal pay for equal work" is ridiculously wrong. People get paid whatever their skills are worth and what they can negotiate for. The government should not be in the middle of me and my negotiations over a job. If I can negotiate to do the same job and get paid more than someone else, then good for me. If not, then good for the other. People get paid differently for "equal work" all over the friggin place. In fact, unions and leftist dipshits are particularly horrible in this respect in that they believe that seniority, by itself, is some measure of ones value to a job rather than actual merit. If lefties think that people should get "equal pay for equal work" then they must be against any higher pay just because someone has seniority. I am so tired of this ridiculously stupid and un-American idea that the government is going to dictate who gets paid what for what and that people should have no power to negotiate their salaries since it must be "equal pay for equal work" ... I think I'm going to friggin puke the next time I hear this idiocy.

Random observations:

 

In Michigan there are only about 5% of the Obama yard signs that there were in 2008.

 

Of those with signs, it is the usual subjects who always have some other signs in their yard - "Vote YES on 47, FOR THE CHILDREN!"

 

I'm certain we have a republican candidate for the senate, but so far he has decided to remain incognito.  The cow Stabenow has had minimal ads, but our guy is totally absent.  Even though I have decent contacts with the state GOP, I have no fucking idea what is happening.

205 Windmill energy costs more to utilize and maintain than tax payers can afford. That is why windmill farms are broken and dysfunctional, not providing any energy. Though some are spinning, by and large the farms are not "plugged into the network".

Compound their expense and inefficiency with the very real noise pollution, constantly, driving populations of creatures including humans crazy.

The cherry on top is that the EPA is caught with blood on its hands between the whirring blades, the butchered bird flocks, and the sleep deprived populations.

And with the Kennedy Compound, we're not mentioning how damned ugly wind farms are marring the scenic view.

276 Too bad few liberals could tell you what the Ledbetter Act does. It was inspired by a woman who discovered, in 1992, that she was being paid less than men doing the same job. There was a 180 day statute of limitations from the time of discriminatory action - which does strike me as quite stingy. But she waited until 1998, when she retired, to bring suit, and more than 180 days after any decision about her salary, as occurred in the company's annual review.

Anyways, the law simply allows suit to be brought 180 days following the receipt of any paycheck, allowing recovery for up to 2 years where similar discrimination had resulted in unequal pay.

So, in theory, Ms. Ledbetter could have received between $12,000 and $36,000 in compensation for 2 years of discrimination (estimate of the disparity), though she worked for the company for about 20 years. On the whole, it's a reasonable law. But it's far from revolutionary. It simply expands the time frame for obtaining some relief. That Romney didn't weigh in on it (when he apparently hadn't yet read and considered it) is a big nothing. If a modest expansion of the statute of limitations is Obama's greatest accomplishment for women, that's pretty sad.

285 Either Stanley Dunham was a single mother raising Obama, or she was married/remarried most of the time that Obama was growing up before getting transferred to his "typical white woman" (racist according to Barry) Grandma's house.

That Barry Soetero refuses to acknowledge his legally adopted father is no surprise, though hardly appreciative of "family values". Naturally, having changed his name yet swearing under oath to have no other alias puts a huge flaw in his legitimacy as President. The bastard is a compilation of fabrications.

Also, it was Stanley's UNCLE, not her father, that was recognized as the WWII Veteran in that family. If anything, Obama's white grandfather was involved with the CIA. Too weird considering the propensity for godless Marxism in Obama's white family.

305 That's how far out of touch with reality 0bama is. Birth rates are low, as they usually drop during a recession. So by the time this new crop of teachers he's recruiting is ready, they'll be unnecessary unless the Feds mandate a five child to one teacher ratio. Of course, IF he was able to do something about the economy, birth rates would rise again.

In this corner of SE PA the principal of my wife's school has a desk drawer jammed with resumes. Brand new diploma's and no job to look forward to except minimum wage day care workers so they can 'stay in the field'. Meanwhile the older teachers are clinging to their jobs wondering if there will be any money left when/if they can retire. Good work, 0bama.

Free contraception, of course, is the answer to every problem.

312 Could never figure out the attractiveness of windmills.

They have a 30% availability rate.

All of the other fluid-based energy approaches utilize the turbine and transformers at nearly 100% until they keel over.

GE makes turbines and transformers.

GE owned NBC for years.

The 30% rate means you have to sell the actual -expensive- piece of the turbine three times.

They're only cost efficient if you include the subsidies.

They're not even cost efficient once you realize the large farms in Washington State cause peak production at times that happen to be non-peak usage hours. So much electricity that we pay British Columbia to take the excess electricity. Then we buy it back later in the day when people are actually using electricity.

Because Canadians are smart enough to use the excess electricity to pump water uphill into their/our -massive- hydrosystems (90%+ efficient!). And we're not, because we're planning on ripping the dams down and thus can't do new shit with them.

Co-host Mika Brzezinski said that domestic oil production is up, and asked her guest what the Obama administration has done that is good concerning energy.

“Well, they don’t have an energy policy,” answered Pickens. Brzezinski followed by asking if Obama has done anything to increase oil production. He replied, “It has nothing to do with the administration…We’ve gotten someplace, but it’s because of technology advanced by the industry.”

“What’s getting ready to happen to you,” offered Pickens, “the horizontal drilling and the multiple frack zones in it, that’s all going, it’s going to be exported away from America. Is that bad? No, it’s not bad. It’s an industry developed here, share with other people, develop reserves.”

“Let me tell you,” Pickens continued, “you are looking at a fundamental change in energy globally is what you have. The OPEC nations are going to have the power taken away from them that they’ve enjoyed for the last twenty years.”
