Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
Romney still ahead, nationally, by 3 points. He has been "up" more than "down" against Obama.
Obama has overhauled the food safety system Advanced women's rights in the work place Ended Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) in our military Stopped defending DOMA in court. Passed the Hate Crimes bill. Appointed two pro-choice women to the Supreme Court. Expanded access to medical care and provided subsidies for people who can't afford it. Expanded the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Fixed the preexisting conditions travesty [and rescissions] in health insurance. Invested in clean energy. Overhauled the credit card industry, making it much more consumer-friendly. While Dodd-Frank bill was weak in many respects, it was still an extremely worthwhile start at re-regulating the financial sector. He created a Elizabeth Warren's dream agency: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He's done a lot for veterans He got help for people whose health was injured during the clean-up after the 9/11 attacks. He's killed Osama Bin Laden Eliminated several other Al-Qaeda leaders Ended the War in Iraq Begun the drawdown of forces from Afghanistan End-run Republican obstructionism by recess-appointing Richard Cordray to run the Consumer Financial Protection Board.
None of these things were priorities for Republicans. They actively opposed, through obstruction, every single item on this list.
Senate just passed the Democratic tax plan to extend the Bush tax cuts for all income under $250,000, which all of the Republicans just voted against. Why? You know why. It's important to fuck American people to try and make Obama look bad.
Romney praises health care in Israel, where there is an individual mandate and research shows ‘strong government influence’ has driven down costs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Romney for inventing socialized medicine.
This election is not about Romney. Its about Obama and you know what he's got? He's got NOTHING.
ReplyDeleteBTW, maybe you missed the part about Romney not being in my top three. But, he's not a commie One Worlder and I'll vote for that.
