Barack Obama seems to have trouble with his economic citations. Just last week, he noted a favorable review from what Obama described as a “non-partisan” economist … who just happened to be a contributor to his campaign. Yesterday in Mansfield, Ohio, Obama told a campaign-stop crowd that Romney’s tax-reform plan had garnered an unfavorable review from “an independent, non-partisan organization … This wasn’t my staff.” Ah, but that depends on the definition of wasn’t:

Independent? Not exactly. The study at the Brookings Institute was co-authored by Adam Looney — and guess where Looney worked before his current gig?
Was that the ”last straw?”
Today I read that Obama is back on the teat.

Going off-teleprompter has been a goldmine of gaffes from Obama to anyone who wishes to use his own words against him.
(Not that his official speechwriters are much better.)
Nan:
Truth is…Obama is not very smart. There is a reason his college and high school grades are sealed…they aren’t very good. The One is the outcome of affirmative-action. Given one public job or position after another because of who he is…not what he knows.
A “graduate” of Harvard Law…and he says “corpsemen” instead of “corpsmen”? The “Austrian” language??? “57” states? We can’t see his long form birth certificate…his grades…senior thesis…his draft registation is the only one from 1980 found…without the date prefix “19” in front of the “80” date stamp. The ONLY one…and dozens have been examined. His passport records? Sealed. He went to school in Indonesia…at a time when only citizens could go to a public religious school. On which nation’s passport did he travel to Pakiston in 1981? What was his relationship with his next-door neighbor in Chicago, Tony Rezko? Why can’t we see his state senate records from Illinois? Why did Rezko buy have of his house’s lot in Chicago for him? Was there a tradeoff?
Where’s the media on all this?
