Obama Didn’t Save Us
By Fred Barnes
October 22, 2012, Volume 18, Number 6

About the only talking point Joe Biden didn’t repeat in his debate with Paul Ryan was the one lionizing President Obama for having saved the country from another Great Depression. Biden used it in his speech at the Democratic convention, as did others, and it remains a hardy perennial of Obama lore. The president, ever immodest, has credited himself for this achievement. Last year Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told him, it’s “your legacy.” Andrew Sullivan, in a recent Newsweek cover story likening Obama to Ronald Reagan, twice credited the president with having “prevented a second Great Depression.”

Why Ryan Matters

William Kristol

August 27, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 46

Vice presidential picks don’t matter. Except when they do. If John Kerry had chosen Dick -Gephardt instead of John Edwards in 2004, and had then parked Gephardt in Ohio during the general election campaign to make the Democratic case to working-class voters, Kerry might well have won the Buckeye State—and the presidency.

Ryan’s friends have long seen the GOP lightning rod as a leader in waiting

So far, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz hasn't gone so far as to ape an Elementary School principal promising to have her head shaved if all her students read ten blooks over the summer and improve their tests scores, or in her case, promising to get her locks clipped completely if Romney-Ryan wins, but we still have 76 days for her to think of it and blurt it out.

Speaking of DWS, here's another piece you won't be reading in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel if any of her many trained poodles over there have anything to do with it, though logically you should, right?
Supposedly, DWS is on the hot seat! 
Or is it on thin ice? 
She's on one of the other, which ever you find personally worse in the summer.

Book: Wasserman Schultz Most Unpopular Obama Campaign Surrogate
By Daniel Halper
8:33 AM, August 20, 2012

According to a new ebook released today by Politico writer Glenn Thrush, Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of Congress from Florida, is the most unpopular of all surrogates for President Obama's reelection campaign. That finding is the product of polling done by the Obama campaign, according to Thrush.

Report: Obama campaign has doubts about DNC chair
Posted by Rachel Weiner on August 20, 2012 at 7:36 am

President Obama’s Chicago team is not thrilled with Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, according to a new ebook from Politico’s Glenn Thrush.

Don't believe me?
Okay, check the Sun-Sentinel for yourself: nothing about it as of right now.

As for the author of the book, the last time the Sun-Sentinel ran a piece by Glenn Thrush was April 28, 2012, so it's clear that they have not touched the story, even though it's right there in front of them.

Hmm-m...

Yes, her crew over at the newspaper is definitely looking out for her, as per usual. 
Just saying... the facts are the facts.
If this sort of thing had been said about Rep. Allen West at GOP HQ based on some sort of polling, the paper would've had it on the front page ASAP, so what's the Sun-Sentinel's explanation for the complete absence of information in print on this re DWS?

So what exactly happened to John Heilemann?
He used to be right more often than wrong, and would often have something original and interesting to bring to the table for discussion, but at some point over the past few years when I wasn't looking, he seems to have gone into a slump or a funk or tailspin or something, because he's now lost his bearings, keeps repeating the same things things over-and-over instead of saying something original or interesting.

Both newspapers slide further into irrelevancy, as if there was any way they could slide deeper, further alienating their declining number of loyal readers by their clear lack of focus and attention to detail, as they snooze the summer away.

I was actually going to mention this story yesterday afternoon, but got side-tracked.

Dem. Chair Invested in Swiss Banks, Foreign Drug Companies, and the State Bank of India 

BY DANIEL HALPER

11:55 AM, JUL 10, 2012

Disclosure forms reveal that Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of Congress from Florida, previously held funds with investments in Swiss banks, foreign drug companies, and the state bank of India. This revelation comes mere days after the Democratic chair attacked presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for holding money in Swiss bank accounts in the past.

Wasserman Schultz: "It Would Be Nice If We Had A Candidate for President Who Was Committed To America"

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/07/10/wasserman_schultz_it_would_be_nice_if_we_had_a_candidate_for_president_who_was_committed_to_america.html

What we can expect is that the South Florida news media that has treated DWS with kid gloves for years as I've previously and frequently noted here, and done almost no original reporting on her, merely accepting what she says as fact, will probably NOT report on this until they have her side of the story, a situation they wouldn't do with more than a few other people.

We all know that if this were Allen West, they'd already have the fire-breathing editorials in print!

The two largest newspapers in South Florida and Miami's TV stations don't want to get on her bad list, so we can expect that they will tread very, very lightly with her on this.

Should we expect her press people to generate another banal story planted in the news media soon about cancer?

Don't be surprised.

See for yourself what a search for any news about this high-profile Democratic Party spokesperson gets you- nothing about her own refusal to release her most recent income tax form or her investments overseas..

All day today I wondered if this would get some mention before I was half-way thru a post on it during a commercial break during USA Network's White Collar.

Nope.

As of 9:47 p.m. there is nothing on the Herald or Sun-Sentinel's websites.

Surprise, this is where you live, folks, the tropical boondocks!
