Window Shot Out at Obama Campaign Office

The ReadyWriter

Just 24 days before the nation chooses a new president, the race for the White House has taken on an ominous tone.

Someone fired a shot at the field campaign office for President Obama in Denver, Colorado on Friday. There were staffers in the office at the time that the shot was fired around 3:30 p.m. said Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez.

A window at the field office was shattered by the gunshot, but there were no reported injuries. Police are reviewing surveillance video, but so far the only lead is a car seen leaving the area. Police aren’t releasing any other details to the media.

In the meantime, the Mitt Romney campaign was disrupted by a Romney supporter who wore a racially charged t-shirt that read “Put the white back in the White House.” No one in the Romney camp saw the t-shirt. Buzzfeed, the outlet that posted the picture says Romney/Ryan campaign spokesperson “commented that the shirt was reprehensible and has no place in this election.”

“CEO will fire his employees if Obama is Re-elected”

The ReadyWriter

David Siegel, this flashy Florida billionaire has warned his employees; “If Barack Obama is re-elected they should all fear for their jobs”.

In an email Siegel sent to all 7,000 of his employees at Westgate Resorts, David Siegel suggested his staff may want to think twice about voting for Barack Obama if they want to keep their jobs.

“In spite of all of the challenges we have faced, the good news is this: The economy doesn’t currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration,” he wrote in the email, which was leaked by his staff and quickly went viral.

“Of course, as your employer, I can’t tell you whom to vote for, and I certainly wouldn’t interfere with your right to vote for whomever you choose,” he continued. “In fact, I encourage you to vote for whomever you think will serve your interests the best. However, let me share a few facts that might help you decide what is in your best interest.”

The email goes on to make the argument that if Obama is re-elected and raises taxes on the wealthy, the 77-year-old Siegel will be forced to cut jobs and will have no motivation to continue to work, which would mean his staff could find themselves unemployed.

“So, when you make your decision to vote, ask yourself, which candidate understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn’t?” he wrote. “Whose policies will endanger your job?

In the meantime, Siegel’s dream mansion sits on 90,000-square-foot gated retreat in Windermere, Florida., it’s currently under construction for additional improvements. 

And although Siegel claims his email is not a threat or intimidation tactic to his employees, he had no idea it would fire off such the media storm that it has.

Obama SUCKED in last night’s debate!

The ReadyWriter

Yes he was that bad…

I was so pissed as I watched last night’s debate and President Obama looked down, pursed his lips, appeared distracted, stuttered, all while Governor Mitt Romney was attentive, engaged and relaxed as he lied.  Romney made it “all about him” as he came with a frame for the evening, and was prepared to engage President Obama on every question; and because of his documented faith in his own abilities, Mitt Romney felt he could wing it with snatches of familiar verbiage.

There was barely a moment when Obama offered any sense that he was prepared to challenge Romney on his weakest point. The President allowed Romney to piggy back off his policies and be aggressive in this debate, it was like Obama became a straight wimp!

Even on the most basic political points, President Obama seemed clueless. When you argue as a Democrat that you and your Republican opponent share wide areas of agreement on Social Security—especially when recipients make up a chunk of Romney’s “47 percent” of indolent spongers—you have thrown in a fistful of high cards.

What remains after this debate, is one key question that the next 48 to 72 hours will answer: Did this debate change the minds of significant numbers of voters?

Assuming that the flash polls are right and that most viewers thought Romney won the debate. I did what about you?

Obama Campaign: “Vote like your lady parts depends on it”

The ReadyWriter

Someone on President Obama’s campaign team is catching heat for posting an e-card on Obama’s Tumblr that read: ““Vote like your lady parts depend on it.” The e-card was quickly deleted when women’s groups, and the national media, caught wind of it.

According to the Washington Examiner, the e-card post linked to “a health care document explaining how the Affordable Health Care Act helps women.” The Obama campaign has used scare tactics, saying Mitt Romney will cut funds for abortions if he is elected president.

Obama’s campaign backed away from the e-card posting. In a response to The National Review’s Katrina Trinko, the campaign said “This piece did not go through our regular review. When it was discovered, it was taken down.”

Is Bill Clinton Obama’s Secret Weapon?

The ReadyWriter

I caught part of Bill Clinton’s speech last night at the Democratic National convention, just in time to hear him expose all of the lies being told and taught, by the republican party. He even talked about how Paul Ryan is accusing Obama of using a crooked strategy on healthcare that he’s used during his own office in Congress.

Clinton, who has officially been dubbed the ‘black president’ gave a stirring, impactful speech endorsing President Obama for re-election at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC, last night. The media is saying that “Clinton did the dirty work of attacking the republican strategy for Obama, leaving President Obama to focus more on speaking about the economy than addressing his opponent”.

Clinton’s speech last night moved the crowd to their feet several times throughout the night. Then to cap it all off, President Obama walked out on stage just as Clinton was finished and the two embraced (as pictured above).

What are your thoughts on the Democratic National Convention and former President, Bill Clinton’s speech?
