President Barack Obama on Tuesday criticized the Republican presidential candidates who have openly advocated military action against Iran if they refused to dismantle their nuclear program.
He said there was still time to work on resolving the issue diplomatically, and that the new stricter sanctions placed on the country would force them back to the negotiating table.
“What’s said on the campaign trail, you know, those folks don’t have a lot of responsibilities,” Obama said. “They’re not commander in chief. And when I see the casualness with which some of these folks talk about war, I’m reminded of the costs involved in war. I’m reminded of the decision that I have to make, in terms of sending our young men and women into battle, and the impacts that has on their lives, the impact it has on our national security, the impact it has on our economy.”
Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney have all repeatedly criticized Obama for allegedly being too soft on Iran.
“This is not a game,” Obama continued. “And there’s nothing casual about it. And, you know, when I see some of these folks who had a lot of bluster and a lot of big talk, but when you actually ask them, specifically, what they would do, it turns out they repeat the things that we’ve been doing over the last three years. It indicates to me that that’s more about politics than actually trying to solve a difficult problem.”
Gingrich has said that as president he would bomb Iran if they refused to halt their nuclear program. Likewise, Santorum has said the U.S. should destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, while Romney has said the U.S. “cannot afford to wait much longer” for diplomacy to work.
“Now, the one thing that we have not done, is we haven’t launched a war,” he said. “If some of these folks think that it’s time to launch a war, they should say so. And they should explain to the American people exactly why they would do that and what the consequences would be. Everything else is just talk.”

Republican presidential Rick Santorum is advising President Barack Obama not to raise taxes on the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans because “higher-income people don’t have to pay taxes if they don’t want to.”
“Once we defeat Barack Obama this economy will start turning around,” the former Pennsylvania senator told a crowd in Miamisburg, Ohio. “Because you’ll know you have someone in there who’s going to unshackle businesses, reduce rates, not increase them. The president’s promised increased taxes if he’s re-elected.”
“All he wants to do to solve the deficit problem is increase taxes on people, particularly higher-income people,” Santorum continued. “You see, that sounds very populist. Go after the 1 percent. It’s interesting because the British just did this. They went after the 1 percent in Britain. They dramatically increased taxes on the highest-income Brits. And guess what? It failed.”
“What happened? Well, higher-income people don’t have to pay taxes if they don’t want to because they can move their money somewhere else, they can move their investments. They can stop investing. They can stop working. They don’t need to work. They’re higher-income people.”
DeAnne Julius, the former chairwoman of Chatham House in London, has explained that Britain’s 50 percent marginal tax rate on high-income earners should not be compared to 35 percent rate imposed on wealthiest Americans, who can take advantage of loopholes in the U.S. tax system.
“[R]elative to other countries, the U.K.’s 50 percent tax rate for high earners is uncompetitive, while the U.S. top rate of 35 percent is still highly competitive,” Julius wrote in an October 2011 op-ed for The New York Times.
“These factors led 20 British economists to warn that the 50 percent top tax rate is doing lasting damage to the British economy and is unlikely to raise much if any additional revenue,” she added. “However, these factors do not apply to the United States, where the current tax regime allows many high earners to escape paying even their proportional share of taxes and where both average and marginal tax rates are low by international standards.”

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Monday told a high school senior not to expect any help from the government for college tuition unless he joined the military.
At a town hall-style campaign event in Mahoning Valley, Ohio, a student who was hoping to go to college next year asked the candidate what assistance he would provide “with regards to college tuition.”
“Recognize that college is expensive,” Romney explained. “You don’t want to have huge debts. I know that it would be popular for me to stand up and say I’m going to give you government money to make sure you pay for your college. But I’m not going to promise that. What I’m going to tell you is shop around, get a good price.”
“I feel that if you are willing to serve your country in the military for instance, that’s a place where we’re going to say, ‘Yeah, we’ll give you help,’” the candidate added.
“Don’t take on too much debt, and don’t expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on. Recognize that you’re going to have to pay it back. I want to make sure that every kid in this country that wants to go to college gets a chance to go to college.”
In his State of the Union address earlier this year, President Barack Obama outlined his own plan to make college more affordable by restraining tuition growth, keeping interest rates for college loans low, doubling the number of work-study jobs and creating a permanent a tax credit of $10,000 over four years of school.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In what some experts are calling a strong indicator of improvement in the economy, Republicans in recent weeks have begun renewing their claims that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
While most economists agree that any significant improvement in the US economy is generally accompanied by an uptick in GOP questions about Mr. Obama’s place of birth, there is now an econometric tool for measuring the increase in those claims: the so-called S & P Birther Index.
The Birther Index, established in 2008, measures the occurrences of such words as “birth certificate,” “Kenya,” and “wasn’t born here” in Republican statements about the President, and has proven to be a surprisingly reliable tool for tracking improvements in the economy.
Harland Dorinson, the economist who devised the S & P Birther Index, said that as the economy recovers the index also shows a strong surge in statements questioning the President’s Christianity.
“As unemployment started going down, we saw an increase in references to Mr. Obama being a Muslim,” he said. “This is generally a very bullish sign for the economy.”
But Mr. Dorinson was quick to add that while the surge in references to Mr. Obama being “an Islamic socialist born in a mud-hut in Nairobi” is encouraging, the economy is not out of the woods yet.
“We won’t be fully in a recovery until the Republicans start calling him a Wiccan,” he said. “And if they start saying he’s a Satanist who practices human sacrifice

At a recent rally against a so-called “personhood” bill currently favored by Oklahoma lawmakers, state senator Judy McIntyre (D) was photographed holding a sign that read: “IF I WANTED THE GOVERNMENT IN MY WOMB, I’D FUCK A SENATOR.”
Explaining to a local reporter that she’d just borrowed the sign from a protester, she remarked: “I was like, I’ve got to have a picture of it.”
“I thought if my 87-year-old mother sees this, I’m going to get hell this weekend, but it was too late,” McIntyre added, according to NewsOK.com.
The protest, held Wednesday at the University of Oklahoma, took issue with a so-called “personhood” bill that would define human life as beginning at conception, effectively banning all abortions.
The Oklahoma State Medical Association is opposed to the bill because it may jeopardize the practice of reproductive medicine and criminalize acts that might harm an embryo, potentially sparking criminal investigations of women who miscarry. The bill was overwhelmingly approved by the state Senate last month, and a vote in the lower chamber is expected soon. It is not clear if the governor will sign it into law.
McIntyre acknowledged that some in Oklahoma, which is overwhelmingly Christian, may find her sign’s language offensive, but she wasn’t much concerned about them.
“I would hope they would have that same passion about how offensive it is for the Republican Party of Oklahoma to ramrod, because they have the votes to do so, bills that are offensive to women and take away the rights of women,” she reportedly said.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney warned voters on Wednesday that President Barack Obama might eventually curb the rights of gun owners since he is also requiring all health insurers to cover contraception for women.
A man at an event in Fargo, North Dakota asked the candidate how he would “protect our right to the Second Amendment and our right to bear arms.”
“I like all the amendments,” Romney replied. “And I like the Second Amendment. And I like the Constitution. It is my blueprint and I will protect the right to bear arms in this country for any lawful purpose — self protection, hunting, what ever purpose people have. I have a couple of guns myself. Shotguns, that is.”
“I know there will be an attack on the Second Amendment, just as there was recently attack on the First Amendment,” the former Massachusetts governor asserted. “Obamacare is interpreted by this administration to say, for instance, to the Catholic Church that they have to provide to the employees — let’s say universities that are in the Catholic Church — they have to provide to them sterilization treatment free, contraceptives and morning-after pills. And that violates the conscience of the church, the conscience of the individuals. And fortunately, there is an effort in Washington to stop that, to reverse that.”
“But this is a president, I agree, who is attacking the principles of the Constitution: the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and there will be more. And by the way, the Tenth Amendment is the one most constantly under attack.”
On Wednesday, Romney calmed the fears of one supporter in Ohio who worried that the candidate was going prevent gun owners from protecting themselves from a “tyrannical government.”

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich recently told a story about a “transvestite” he met to explain why he doesn’t agree with “San Francisco values.”
Gingrich explained a 2006 fundraising pitch, in which had asked for donations so that conservative accomplishments were not “lost to the San Francisco values of would-be Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”
Last month, the Georgia Republican accused Pelosi of living “in a San Francisco environment of strange fantasies and strange understandings of reality.”
The San Francisco Chronicle caught up with Gingrich at the Republican Party convention Saturday in Burlingame and asked him what he meant.
“I’ll tell you a true story,” the former House Speaker began. “I’m here in 1984 and I’m part of a truth squad. It’s at the convention. … And we’re down at Union Square and CBS is interviewing me and this guy tosses me this perfect softball: ‘The Republicans are going to Dallas, which has the largest Baptist church in the country. Democrats are going to San Francisco, which has the largest gay movement in the country. Does this say something about the two parties?’”
“Literally, at that moment a 6-foot-2 transvestite walks up and hands me an invitation to an exorcism of Jerry Falwell,” Gingrich recalled. “I just cite that as some vague — I really mean the Sierra Club, which has gone off the deep end as a general rule. Basically very, very left-wing values.”
An Associated Press report dated July, 14, 1984 said that gay activist Sister Boom Boom and five members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence did perform a mock exorcism of actors dressed as Rev. Jerry Falwell and anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly in Union Square.
“They are here in the name or morality,” Sister Boom Boom reportedly the said of the two conservative icons. “To equate morality with sexual behavior takes a filthy, prurient mind.”
The Falwell character was then stripped of his business suit to reveal a corset and fishnet hose.

So it must have startled the governor when the president couldn't recall his name Monday.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) has a simple solution for women who work for religious institutions that refuse to cover birth control: Find a new job.
During a call-in show on C-SPAN Monday morning, a woman named Doris from Osawatomie, Kansas told Brownback that she was worried that he wanted to turn back the clock on women’s rights.
“No, goodness,” Brownback replied. “That’s not true.”
“I am concerned that — along with lots of other red states — Gov. Brownback feels that we should be the reddest state in the country,” Doris explained. “Women’s rights are being trampled. He was talking about what President Obama is requiring insurance companies to do, to cover birth control. You know you are taking away the individual woman’s right to decide if they need birth control.”
“Ninety-eight percent of women have used birth control in their lives,” she added. “Now, we can pay for vasectomies, we can pay for Viagra, but we cannot pay for birth control for women? I think it’s a shame.”
Brownback immediately disagreed.
“What the president basically said is if you are church that does not believe in this — and the Catholic Church has problems with, the official Catholic Church, amongst other institutions, have problems with paying for contraceptives,” the Kansas governor explained. “You have a number of religious groups who saying, ‘We don’t want to pay for so-called abortifacients, these have morning after pill-type effects. And this is against our religious beliefs.’ And the president was saying, ‘You got to pay for it.’ And they were saying, ‘This is against our view life is sacred.’”
“That’s not denying women’s rights,” he insisted. “If a woman then wants birth control, go work somewhere else.”
A coalition of rights groups including Planned Parenthood, MainStream Coalition and the American Civil Liberties Union recently criticized Brownback for an “assault on women’s health.”
“In 2011, 5 bills limiting access to abortion services and affordable contraception were passed by the Kansas Legislature and signed by Governor Brownback and the legislature spent over 25 public hours on these bills,” MainStream Coalition board member Gail James said in a media advisory. “This divisive social agenda does not reflect the values or priorities of the majority of Kansans.”
For his part, Brownback on Monday denied wanting to limit the rights of women.
“Having three very good, strong daughters that are doing quite well, I — and I want them to have every opportunity and every possibility in this country and they’re going to have it,” he said.

Comedian Bill Maher on Monday defended his donation to Priorities USA Action, warning liberals that President Barack Obama’s victory in the 2012 elections wasn’t “in the bag.”
Maher shocked audiences around the world last week when he announced he’d be donating $1 million to the pro-Obama super PAC.
“I promise you when it comes to election night, it’s going to be neck and neck,” Maher said Monday on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews.
“Obama had a giant money advantage last time because the most anybody could give was $2,300. Now Sheldon Adelson talks about giving $100 million. The game has changed from small contributions to large contributions, in the millions, the many millions. He is going to have a tremendous financial disadvantage.”
The Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling in January 2010 gave rise to super PACS, which can raise an unlimited amount of money to influence federal elections, so long as they do not directly coordinate with a candidate’s campaign.
“I always talk about the Republican bubble that they live in. But there’s a bit of a liberal bubble too,” Maher added. “They hear Rick Santorum talking about the father of lies and how college is bad and they think ‘these people are nuts’ but half the country doesn’t think its nuts.”
He also said Republicans were running against “a fictional president.”
“A president who has slashed defense, who has raised taxes, who goes around the world apologizing, who coddles terrorists, all of which of course never happened,” Maher explained. “But that’s who they think the president is.”

It isn’t every day that you’ll catch Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas advocating for Democrats to vote for Rick Santorum — but that’s just what he did earlier this month in an effort to extend the Republican primary to help President Obama’s chances next fall.
In a new video, comedian Andy Cobb doubles down on Kos’s idea: “Do you want this primary season to be over,” he asks rhetorically, “Or do you want it to be hilarious?” He calls Santorum “as electable as Mike Huckabee or herpes,” adding, “A vote for Santorum keeps this circular firing squad of jerkos alive.”

For decades Republican presidential candidates having been heading to the racetrack to lockdown the “NASCAR dad” vote, but Mitt Romney’s pandering at the Daytona 500 on Sunday may have backfired.
A reporter from The Associated Press casually asked the candidate if he followed the sport.
“Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans,” Romney said. “But I have some friends who are NASCAR team owners.”
Democratic Party Communications Director Brad Woodhouse wasted no time before mocking the former Bain Capital CEO.
“I don’t know people who fish but I know people who own yachts,” he tweeted.
Romney had also crashed and burned on Friday while attempting to use his love for cars to appeal to average Americans.
“I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck,” he told the Detroit Economic Club. “Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually. And I used to have a Dodge truck. So, I used to have all three covered.”
Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday asked Romney, who has a net worth around $250 million, if he understood why “some voters would be put off by those things.”
“You know, I can’t be perfect,” Romney replied. “I just am who I am.”
“So, that’s just the way it is,” he added. “If people think there is something wrong with being successful in America then they better vote for the other guy because I’ve been extraordinarily successful.”
Scarborough Research found in 2009 that about 85 percent of NASCAR fans (PDF) made less than $100,000 a year.
On Saturday, Ann Romney told the conservative group Americans for Prosperity that she should be doing the talking for her husband in the future.
“If we’re going to do another debate, he’s going to just sit in the audience and watch me,” she said.
After the couple released their tax returns earlier this year, the candidate’s wife lamented that “unfortunately” the world now knows how “successful in business” her husband had been.

In the spirit of The Oscars, The Chris Matthews Show decided this weekend to humorously cast GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney as “The Artist.”
The 70 second parody trailer features the characteristics of the Academy Award nominated silent film, and factors in Romney aesthetically looking the part of president until he begins talking.
Hence the title of the trailer being called Mitt: “Better off Mute.”

Republican hopeful Mitt Romney illustrated again on Friday why voters may find him harder to relate to than any other presidential candidate.
In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club at Ford Field, the former Massachusetts governor awkwardly praised Michigan and bragged about all the vehicles he and his wife owned.
“I actually love this state,” the candidate opined. “This feels good, being back in Michigan. You know, the trees are the right height, the streets are just right. I like the fact that most of the cars I see are Detroit-made automobiles.”
“I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck. Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually. And I used to have a Dodge truck. So, I used to have all three covered,” he added.
Throughout his campaign, Romney, who is worth around $250 million, has made a series of tone-deaf attempts to relate to average Americans.
In June, he told a group of unemployed people in Florida that he was “also unemployed.”
Returning to Florida in September, the candidate claimed that he was part of the middle class.
Romney told a group of workers at a steel plant in November that federal employees made more than he did. He has also said that he knows “what it’s like to worry whether you’re going to get fired.”
During a January debate in South Carolina, Romney encouraged voters to send him to Washington because he had “lived in the real streets of America.”
Unlike many Americans, the former Bain Capital CEO has the option of living on the “real streets” at his California beachfront mansion, or one of his homes in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says that President Barack Obama was “willing to jump in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood” and throw former dictator Hosni Mubarak “under the bus” during Egypt’s 2011 revolution.
Speaking to Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on Wednesday, the former Pennsylvania senator warned that the president had not done enough to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
“The main thing that has to be done is we need to do what President Obama was very willing to do in Egypt and Libya — but seems reticent to do in Syria and Iran, those two connected states — which is to support the pro-democracy movement in those countries,” Santorum explained. “The president was willing to jump in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya and in Egypt, but actually sided with Syria in this struggle by recognizing them as a government for the first time in many many years.”
“And of course during the elections in 2009 when the Green Revolution was sparked in Iran, he sided with [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs. Again, if you are an enemy of the United States, you’re going to get very nice treatment from Obama. But if you’re a friend, you’re going to get thrown under the bus.”
As the crisis in Egypt was deepening early last January, the Obama administration admitted that there was a role in the country for the Muslim Brotherhood, the largest group opposing then-President Mubarak.
But White House spokesman Robert Gibbs also said a reformed government “has to include a whole host of important nonsecular actors that give Egypt a strong chance to continue to be [a] stable and reliable partner.”

It's going to ultimately be all about the economy. And the fact that he "bet" on the American worker when ANY GOP candidate is going to have been on record opposing that, should "clear the decks" of almost any chance the GOP has of winning. Heck, a great slogan for 2012 could be "Let's bet on America"...

Following sparring with Rick Santorum at a GOP debate on Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney attacked the former Pennsylvania senator with a slightly suggestive line, wondering “which team he was taking it for.”
During the CNN-sponsor debate in Arizona, Santorum had defended his support for the “No Child Left Behind” legislation.
“I have to admit, I voted for that, it was against the principles I believed in, but you know, when you’re part of the team, sometimes you take one for the team, for the leader, and I made a mistake,” Santorum explained.
By the time Romney addressed a conference of the Associated Builders and Contractors the next morning, he had a response prepared.
“I wonder which team he was taking it for,” Romney quipped. “My team is the American people, not the insiders in Washington.”
“I don’t know if I’ve seen a politician explain in so many ways why it was he voted against his principles,” the former Massachusetts governor added. “I can tell you one thing: If I am president of the United States, I will abide by my principles, and my team will be the people of the United States of America.”
